HUN she sali} sh'e wèpld like
to "accept a position" with our
, paper, It w»A 'till hv'cr betweert
us. After that we knew that she was
at least highly Improbable If not en
tirely Impossible. But then we might
have expected as much from a girl who
called herself Mnybelle. There Is,
however, this much to be said In Mny
helle's favor: she was persistent. She
did not let go till It thundered! We
could have stood It well enough If she
hud limited her campaign for a Job on
the paper to an occasional call at the
office. But she had a fiendish Instinct
which told her who were the friends
we liked most to oblige : the banker,
for lhetnnce, who carried our over
drafts, the leading advertiser, the
chairman of the printing committee of
the town coupcll—and she found ways
to make the;» ask If .we .couldn't do
something for Miss Bolton. She could
teucih .school-;. Indeed, she had a place
In. the .academy. But she loathed
school-teaching. She- had 61 ways felt
~................ ...~ ..... .....•
that. If she could>o»ce get a start, she
could make a name for herself.
------~ ** * r-------
She had written something that she
chlfed "A'Critique on HainlpL" which
pained'when wç told berithat we didn't
cure for editorial matter-; that what
our paper needed was the names of
.the people In our. own . country town
and county, printed ns many times a
•day or a week or a month as they
could be put into type. We tried to
tell her that more Important to us than
the Inflnehcë of the Celtic element on
our natlohai' life arid literature was
the fact that ' John Jones of Lebo—
that Is to say, red Jojin, ns distin
guished from black John—or Jones the
tinner, oy Jones of the Possum Holler
settlement was in town with a load of
hay. "Other papers," -we explained
carefully, while she looked as sympa
thetic and Intelligent ns a collie, "other
papers might be Interested In the
radio-activity of uranium X ; they
might care to print articles on the
psychological phenomena of mobs"—
to which'she snapped eager agreement
with her .eyes—"others, with entire
propriety, might be Interested In lnbr
gqnlc . evolution"—njid she cheeped
"yes,., yes" -.with feverish Intensity—
"but .itv,our little local paper we „cared

\vhereupon she Went "out and came
back In thrpe d)i,vs with 'five sheets Of
foohycup on which she had written an
article begluning; "When Memory
draws aside the curtains of her magic
chamber, revealing the pictures medi
tation paints, and we see through the
windows of our dreams the sweet vale
of yesterday, lying outside and be
yond; when stern Ambition, with re
lentless hand, turns us away from all
this to ride In the somber chariot of
Duty then It Is that entrancing
Pleasure beckons us hack to sit by
Memory's fire Hnd sip our tea with
Malden meditation." What It was all
about no one ever found out; but the
Toung Prince at the local desk who
read It clear through said that some
times he thought that It was a report
of a fire and at other times It seemed
like a dress-goods catalogue. It would
have made four columns. As he put
the roll back In the drawer the Young
Prince rose and paced grandly out.
At the front door he stopped and said ;
You'll never make anything out of her
—she's a handholder! When a girl
begins to get corns on her hands, I
notice she has mush on the brain !"
But Mayhelle returned, and we went
all over the same ground again. W
short Items—two or three lines each—
little references to home doings; some
thing telling who has company, w ho Is
»ick. wlw Is putting shingles on the
>arn or an "L" on the house. And she
said "tth, yes!" so passionately that
it seejued as though she would bark or
put her front feet ou the table. One
felt like taking her Jaws In his hands
and pulling her ears.
The next time sheoame In she said
:hat if we would Just try her—give her
something to do—she was sure she
could Show ns how vfeil she could do
It. On a venturé, ,ând

told us how sorry she was. Also she
said that If It wasn't for a meeting of
the T. T. T. girls that afternoon she
would go back and get the names.
When she went out, the Young Prince,
sitting by the window with „his, pencil
behind his ear and hi* :feèt on the
table; sajilc "L bet she can make the
gründest fudge I" "And such lov*Jjr
angel food«" put ln Miss Larrahieei
who was busy writing up the Epwortb
league convention.
Miss Bolton's name was always
among the lists we printed of the
guests at the Entre Nous Card club,
the Imperial Dnnclng club, the "Giddy
Young Things" club, the Art club and
and Shakespeare club. Bu| when she
came to the office she was full of
anxiety at the frivolity of society.
She said that she longed for Iritellee»
tual companionship; that She felt
sometimes as If she must fly to a place
where she could find a soul that would
feel In unison with thc. lnflplte that
thrilled in her being. Far be U. from
her to. wish to calfl .the pulsations of
hqr. soul, but papa and mammn did
need her help so. t She accented, papo
and mamma on: the la«t- syllable and
leaned forward and • looked upward
like a shirtwaist Mnddnna. - But writ

anyway she married the Red Duke.
Wolfang, who spurted her' ttisk and
took her by night with his retainens
away from the tower, saying lier love
was Ills Holy Grail and to get hgr was
the object of his pilgrimage. Oh, it's
Just graud.'»
No, we don't use serials and when
we do we buy them In stereotyped
pintes by the pound. This made Miss
Bolton droop, with another disap
pointed "Oh." The grain of the world
seems so coarse when one looks at It
closely.
We did not see Miss Bolton at the
office for a long time after the duke
abducted the lady In the moated
grange, but we received a poem signed
M. B. "To Dan Cupid," and another on
"My Heart of Fire." Also there
came an anonymous communication In
strangely familiar fat vertical hand
writing to the effect that "some people
In this town think that If a young lady,

should know that there are souls on
this earth whose tendrils reach Into
the Infinite beyond the gross material
ity of this mundane sphere to a destiny
beyond the stars." At the bottom of
the page wepe the words : "Pleape
publish and oblige a subscriber."
The next that we heard vt, M\ss B<Jé-.
