HIOLDEN (Copyright.) Carlotta Smith was one of the throng surging past the Stanwix building. When she came opposite the wide-open door she hesitated, walked toward the entrance, but again turned and passed on down the street. Coming hack, she paused once more, then hurried on. The third time there was no hesita tion. With 1trim determination sh, :Itapprlchid the entratnce andt walked holdly in. There were three or four men who left the elev ntor at the thirteenth floor with Miss Samith. She( elnvied them their kntwledge of where they '.:niited to r(o. (pe'in g (off the hall, there were no less than five doors, each with the name of "iHolton Comapany" in gold letters. "My mother told me to take this one," counted Carlotta. Inside, Carlotta found a girl seated behind a d(lsk. She invited Carlotta to wait while she went in search of Mr. Thomas Doyle. "This isn't so bad," mused Carlotta. "I'm beginning to think I'll like it." "Mr. Doyle?" she inquired, as a young man appeared with her card in his hand. "I am Miss Carlotta Smith." "Glad to meet you, l!ss Smith." Her tones had convinced him that there was much behind the name. "I beg pardon, Mr. Doyle," interrupt ed the girl from behind the desk. "I forgot to deliver a message this morn Ing. Mr. Bolton wished you to call him up." "Did he say when?" asked Doyle. "No,' the girl admitted reluctantly. "Then he can walt," which was hard ly respectful to the president of the company. "Please be seated, Miss Smith." "I came to see you-" began Carlot ta. "I say, Tom, I've been hunting every where for you." Like a hurricane a young man burst in with this announce ment. "I beg pardon. I didn't know you were busy, but you forgot to tell me where that guaranty would most likely to be found." Explanations were brief, for in a few moments Doyle returned. "I won't take you to my room, for Ire been moved upstairs. A number of us have been changed about lately. We can go into Miss Glyn's room. 1 There is no one there, so I trust we can continue uninterrupted." "Did you say 'Miss' Glyn?" inquired t Carlotta. Doyle's glance followed Carlotta'r to the hat-rack, on which hung a man's derby. "Oh, that might mean the general mixed-up state we're in just now. Pos sibly a caller for Miss Glyn. That's probably it." Doyle spoke confidently. I "She has just taken him somewhere to meet some one. Take this chair, Miss Smith; you'll find it more comforta ble." "But," protested Carlotta, "I know 4 from the way it looks-" "You mean the way it's worn," sug- ' gested Doyle. "I think," said Carlotta, "that what people say about odious agents and the I way they are treated is all nonsense." "Have you had the good fortune to 1 meet any un-odious ones?" inquired 1 Doyle lightly. "I mean the way you have treated me," went on Carlotta. "I don't quite follow." Doyle sat down suddenly. In case he had under stood, he would need support. 4 "From what I've heard, I always thought agents had doors slammed in their faces, and were sometimes-of course, in extreme cases-thrown downstairs," continued Miss Smith. "Now, I consider rye been treated roy- I ally." While she was speaking a man had 4 quietly entered the room. As Doyle's 4 attention was not again claimed, Car lotta did not mind. Doyle was so stunned at what he had Just heard that he forgot completely his previous threats of vengeance against the next intruder. "I am an agent," continued Carlotta, "for Pickwick's Superior Typewriting I Paper." "I never would have guessed it." The ( irony in Tom Doyle's voice was -*t on Carlotta, who continued volubly: "You probably use Tryon's, don't you, Mr. Doyle? Really. a very inferi. or grade. If you would once try Pick- I wick's, I am sure you would never use anything else. Its advantages over others in ordinary use are legion. Dc you use Tryon's or Black's Mr. Doyle?" "I don't know." Doyle felt as if he had been knocked I down, and now was being walked on. This girl did not want him to lead the 4 german at the .oming charity ball--( she did not even want a subscription t to something else, anything-she was only a plain, ordinary every day agent. "I hoped you would be able to help me," continued Carlotta. "I so much want to make a success of it. You don't know what it means to me." "'I've a sick husband and five chil dren to support,' " quoted Doyle absent mindedly. "It's not as had as that," replied Car lotta. "But if I could make my poor mother comfortable-'" "I'll do what I can for you," broke in Doyle hastily. "Mr. Cruikshank is the man you ought to see." "But I don't want to see him," aid Carlotta. "lie is sure to be cross. Even his name sounl.s so." "I don't know atiout that. I don't even know the man. I mean, he's head of that department." "I shouldn't like to see him." Carlot ta spoke decidedly. "I thought you could help me. I forgot to tell you1 that MIr. Smith gave ime your name Mr. Ioirton Smith. lle is a diclant rel ative, and is interested l helping - e." "Yot are relaited to Morton Smithl'" To himnself lI)yle ad(lded: "Illow in thulner does he let you do a thing like thius?" "Yes: he is most anxious to see me Suceeed," repliied Calrlotta. "I'll do what I can." "When shall 1 call again?" inquired Carlotta. "What part of the city do you can vass tomorrow?" asked Doyle. "Around State and Pearl, I think." Carlotta spoke with some hesitation. "I get my luncheon near there," said Doyle. "I could meet you at Lincoln park, and it would save ::our coming 'way up here." "Very well," said Carlotta. "You see, I've never been an agent before, so I hardly know what is customary." As Doyle bade Carlotta good-by, he felt a deep thrill of sympathy. * s * " * s s "Ten minutes late," was Mr. Doyle's greeting when he met Miss Smith the next day. "I hope that means you have had a succesful morning." Carlotta slowly shook her head. "I'm so sorry." There was a world of sympathy in Doyle's voice. "And I have bad news, too." "Did Mr. Cruikshank live up to the reputation of his name?" Carlotta smiled bravely as she asked th. ques tion.' "Taking time by the forelock," a:: swered Doyle, "I inquired for Crulk shank as soon as you left yesterday. I was directed to the room that used to be Miss Glyn's. There, sitting at his own desk, and with his feet on his own footstool, was Hon. James G(kc' n Cruikshank I" •"Oh !" gasped Carlotta. "He was the man who came in while we were tr lk ing. He must have heard me say he was a crank, and you said you would beat him. Is there anything left of you, Mr. Doyle?" "I am old Cruikshank's firm friFid for life," r'eplied Doyle. "You bet I didn't think it was funny, but he seemed to get a lot of enjoyment out of it. He was such a brick in over looking the names we called Lim. We actually parted friends, aven though he refused to take the Pickwick paper. Says he has nothing against what we are now using." "What trials there are for agent- I am glad I am not a real one," mur mured Carlotta. "Was that agent business a joke?" demanded Doyle wrathfully. "Far from it," replied Carlotta. "I was never more serious in my life. To begin at the beginning-two nights ago, at dinner, my father called me names. He said I was simply a butterfly without more serious thoughts of tue future than what frock I should wcar to the next assembly. "I replied that it was all the fault of circumstances. That I could even earn my own living, if it were neces sary. Of course, my father hooted at that. To make a long story short, it ended in a wager. I was to prove to him that I could be self-supporting. He bet I couldn't. "I decided that becoging an agent would be quicker than anyling else. F'rom my unsuspecting cousin I got the name of Bolton company, ar employ ing large numbers of typewriters. You can guess how glad I was when he casually mentipned you as a class mate. Then I went to a store and asked the name of the least used type writing paper-" "The least used?" broke in Doyle. "Of course," said Carlotta, "If I had taken the most popular, the chances were that you would already be stocked up with It." "'That is one way of doing business," commented Doyle. "When I reported my success last night," continued Carlotta, "my father was not at all pleased. In fact, he was quite-otherwise. I was so dis appointed, for I was really very proud of myself." "Then all that about your poor old mother was-" began Doyle. "Purely fiction," replied Carlotta. "What must you think of me, Mr. Doyle?" "I don't want you to cut my ac quaintance by telling me it is too sud den," said Tom; "but I will gladly tell you as soon as you give me per mission.' Sea-Horses With Prehistoric Tails Queerest of queer fishes is the sea horse, Hlppocampus, often seen in aquaria, which hangs Itself from or supports Itself on seaweeds by means of a prehensile tail, which moves dor soventrally, not laterally, as in other fishes. It has a rapidly vibrating un paired fin on its back, and the pecu liarity of rolling its large eye* inde pendently of one another. Now, it is curious that the far-removed chamele on, which is a quaint arboreal lizard, should show the same sort of prehen sile tail as the sea-horse, only more so, and the same Independent rolling of the eyes.-New York World. Convicts Humanely Treated. The old bad business of forced labor on the treadmill has gone out long ago, and nowadays all prisoners are set to useful work of some kind or another, says the London Times. All have a chance of learning a trade, If they have not got one already, and the b and more steadily they wea the higher they rise in the convict scale. By so rising they get better food, better accommodation and more privileges in the way of visits and let ters. They may also obtain a remis sion equal to a quarter of their origi nal sentence. The whole system is in every way, more humane thqn for merly, and in these days the idea of the state Is to reform a criminal, not to revenge itself upon him. Discovery of Asphalt. Asphalt, with which so many roads are paved, was found by accident. For a century in Switzerland natural rock asphalt was used to extract the rich stores of bitumen it contained. It was noticed that pieces which fell from the wagons and were crushed by the wheels formed a marvelously fine road and this led to its adoption as a road material. Knew Her Place.

This terri tory is made up of the mainland of Papua itself and many small island groups. Papua lies to the north of Australia, and includes the much talked-of territory formerly called Ger man New Guinea. It is a land of won derful scenery, of strange peoples, of the grandest commercial possibilities. It is the richest asset of the common wealth of Australia, writes Thomas J. McMahon in the Illustrated London News. Through the center of the island runs a great mountain chain, termed the central mountains, many of the summits running from 6,000 to 10,000 feet in height. These mountains are covered all the year round to the ut most peaks with the most vivid ver dure. Under the bright blue skies of the tropics and the flashing sun, they are at all times grandly imposing, standing out, as they do, like masses of burnished gold. Away in the sum mits, seldom traversed by the white man, are most uncommon scenic beau ties. The effects of sunlight and mists to be seen in looking over the great valleys are wonderful in the extreme. Such mist effects are not to be found in any other part of the world. Some day tourists will flock to Papua and to the wonderland of its mountains. The mists are remarkable, coming and go ing, folding and spreading, rising and falling, changing from a snow-white to gray, and sometimes in the flashing of sunbeams to brighter colors. At times with magic suddenness the mists van ish, leaving the mountain tops above and valleys below standing out sharp and clear, and revealing the great red gaps in the hillsides, from the amazing landslips that are ever going on, ac companied by noise like the booming of great artillery. 1 Mountain Villages and Valleys. Round about and all along the moun tain-sides are hundreds of small native villages-brown spots for all the world like the nests of some giant bird. These villages are perched on the ends of spurs, and even on the very brinks of precipices, and are approached only by hidden tracks, such is the caution of the natives to guard against the sud den appearance of any tribal enemy. The valleys are superb as seen from the mountain spurs and looking over the dense, dark jungles, through which are streaked flashing bands of silver, the courses of the mighty rivers so numerous in Papua. Beginning in some mountain torrent-some waterfall, per haps-these wide, swift-flowing rivers rush to the sea through jungles that are thickly planted with an amazing variety of commercial timbers, and from which some day soon thousands of sawmills will be sending to the coun tries of the empire immense quantities of timber and the pulp for paper. The mountain-sides are walls of moss and fern. Giant trees of Im mense girth shoot up, the branches thickly festooned with bright flowering creepers, the great trunks gripped by monster vines with powerful clinging stems, and leaves whose length and breadth are measured in feet. High in the branches sounds the strange, un musical caw of the gorgeous Bird of Paradise; for this bird of the most brilliant plumage---more brilliant than any other bird In the world-is, after all. hut of the mean. low family of the common crow. Papua is the only country in the world that knows It is the home of the Bird of Paradise. There is a wide variety, and the law protects the bird with such severity that a very heavy p'unishment is in flicted for shooting it, or even for steal ing its feathers. No sale of the feath ers under any circumstances is allowed, and customs officers search tourists' luggage very diligently for any hidden piece of plumage. The wing or tail of a bird will be worth hundreds of pounds-one reason why they are sel dom seen in ladies' bonnets nowadays. Some Wonderful Insects. In this wonderland of Papua Is found the island's specialty, the giant butter fly. These beautiful, many-colored in sects measure from twelve to eighteen Inches from wing-tip to wing-tip, and they have bodies the size of a small bird. Specimens of these butterflies are to be seen In the collection of the late Baron Rothschild, who sent out to Papua a scientist to collect rare in sects and birds. Another marvelous insect, of the cricket class, is what is popularly called the "Six o'Clock" bee tle. This little creature exists abun dantly, and is really wonderful in its habits. It gets its name from the fact that every night at precisely six o'clock it gives forth a resonant, far-reaching chirp, exactly like a loud electric bell. In the mountains of Papua roam a pigmy-sized people, the pure Papuans. They are a race quite distinct from the coastal peoples, and with customs that are very primitive and strange. Though small, they are perfect In stature, and the young people are quite good-look Ing. They are now fast coming with in the pale of civilization, owing to the splendid work of the traveling magis trates of the Papuan administration a very fine body of civil servants. A few years back, before these inagis trates got in touch with these people, they were constantly at war, one tribe fighting another, sometimes destroying or wiping out whole villages, or, more often, killing the men and carrying off the women. Men and women dress very meagerly-in fact, their main cov eri g is necklaces of dogs' teeth or shells, with a long white hone pencil stuck through the lower portion of the nose, and called "nose-sticks." The men paint their bodies with red and yellow pigments, and carry big bows and arrows, much bigger than them selves. The women, always very sub ject to the men, are silent and shy, and do not decorate themselves much. In time of widowhood or family mourn ing they blacken their faces and hair, already very black, with charcoal. glv ir:. them a most grotesque appearance. While the natives of the coast lands of Papua demand tobacco as a present, the hill peoples delight in common coarse salt, and, given a handful, they will treasure it up to make it last as long as possible. Huts Built Up on Poles. The native villages have the huts built up on poles. and, while the family live on the upper story, pigs wallow in awful filth below, and, in consequence, it is possible to smell a village miles away. These people are very fond of dogs and pigs as pets. Pigs are nat ural to the island, but dogs are not, and tnis is how the natives came to get them: Many years ago, when Papua (then called New Guinea) was only oc casionally visited by some plucky Brit ish traders, a dog belonging to one of them proved an immense attraction to the natives; and the trader, seeing a good opportunity to make money-or rather, a cheap way to get large sup plies of copra (dried cocoanut for oil), of which the natives had plenty to bar ter away-went to Australia and In one of the Queensland towns bought up all the mongrel dogs that could be had. He got quite a ship full, and returned to Papua. doing a roaring trade, every dog selling for at least over twenty pounds-or that value in copra. In turn, the coastal natives bartered their dogs to the mountain natives, but the breeds from mongrels have deteri orated until the wretched things now seen are hairless, qgly creatures, petted Schlettstadt. Erasmus in 1514 praised the hospi tality of the town which today Is one of the many of Alsace returned to the French fold. Schlettstadt viewed from the Strasbough side has still her medle val appearance. Her belfries are of sandstone the color of a rose; her sil houette is marked by the gable ends of her ancient defenses. Besieged ten times. she has but once fallen before the enemy. One of her streets still bears the name Rue du Babil in re membrance of the famous Latin school of Erasmus' day and the chatter of its scholars. In the light of the setting sun a writer in the Journal des Debats describes Schlettstadt as a basket of flowers se in the meadows with a background in the distance found by the Vosges. On one of the culminating heights are the walls of the Konigs burg. Pigeons vs. Airplanes. Many are the birds which history record--the geese of Rome, the car rier pigeons of many a military cam paign, to say nothing of the family of ducks which recently held up traffic in a Boston suburb while a kindly po liceman piloted them across a busy street. Now the department of agri cu!ture of the United States is to use homing pigeons in its work of saving the forests from fire. In this work they will have to compete with the man-made flyers, for the forest service has lately made successful use of air planes in locating incipient fires and summoning help to prevent the spread Ing of the blaze. The pigeons, how ever, being scornful of hostile air cur rents above the mountains, are ex pected to hold their own against mere machines. Ditto.

"Smoked Irishman." "Shure, there's no man livin' as can mock me good County Clare brogue without feelin' th' weight o' me hands." Sergeant James Xavier McGillin, United States marine corps, told this to the wide world as he stepped ashore at Charlestont, S. C., recently from th transport which had carried him backs from two years in the West Indies. He had a tale to tell, and this is how he told it: "On the way up," he continued (brogue deleted for the benefit of the linotypers), "we stopped off at Nassau, in the Bahamas. I was walking along the street when up to me steps one of them natives with a face as black as me old motl 'r's stove. "'Shure an' 'tis a folne day fer th' Olrlsh.' says he to me.

It was a heavy, foggy night. Every vessel was fogbound. About midnight there came a wireless message to the admiral from a ship's officer reading: "Am fog-bound. Shall I proceed to next port or return?" Admiral Sims, being fog-bound him self, could not help smiling at the stu pidity of the message. So he sent this reply: "Yes." In a short time came back another appeal from the officer. "Think you misunderstood my message. Am fog bound. Shall I proceed to next port or return?" To this the admiral replied: "No." SWITCH OFF!
