i Near Printing House square is atype-
wflflng once which many newspaper men
. Meant. A new girl name there one day
last gosh—e real nice girl and an excel-
' ll} operator—but ahe had nova done that
. of work before. While she was sit-
ting in the main room upon the afternoon
0! her first day a newspaper man came
bustling in, and-—
“Mrs. J ., have you got anybody to take
a two column story in a hurry?"
”Yes," replied the manager. “Hero is
a young lady who has just come to as.
Miss Brown—Mr. Smith. You can go in-
to that corner room. ”
‘ a
In three minutes the young lady was‘
seated at her machine, the newspaper man
was sorting out his notes, and the door
was closed seas to leave them undi rbcd.
“Now, it you will please 5633' the
newspaper man said. ” ‘In these days of
stern reality and suii’ering and stmggle
for existence a romantic episode comes
upon one with the refreshing delight with
which a traveler in n desert behoids an
oasis.‘ "
Clickety-clickcly-click went the keys,
and then—
“Isn’t that lovely?
novel?"
The ,newspxuwr nmn look?“ up in amazo-
ment, but it was utterly impossible to be
angry with such blue eyes regarding him
in admiration. ,
“No,” he said. “Please go on. ‘In the
monotonous routine of Tombs polion court
cases, however, there was one ycsl iday,
behind which lay a story so romantic and
so picturesque that it Would almost seem
tobave been created by a great novelist
who had strivcn tooxccl all his past cf-
tortsfl ”
When this had been recorded, and while
the newspaper man was wondering what
he would say next, the young lady, smil-
ing most radiantly, prattlcd on in this
Lashion:
“That’s just splendid. It sounds like
a real novel. Did you cvcr rcad ‘(ilarissm
or, the Forlorn licpe?‘ It begins some—
thing like that, only it isn't so interest-
ing. Do you know, i never took dictation
like that before. The last place i worked
in I had nothing to do but copy letters.
Oh, dear, wasn't it tiresome, though!"
The neu‘spupcr man felt his collar get-
, too small, but after swallowing some-
,7, that seemed to stick in his throat hc
u as gently as possible:
«Won’t you plcaso go on? I'm in sumo-
ot a hurry. What have you got

And iii read what she had written.
Then, i ' ‘ the newspaper man had set—
tled bat; in his chair, determined to die
tateito th . end without giving heranolhcr
opportunity to interrupt him, she said:
' "Excuse inc, 1 think my hair is coming
down.”
She ivcnt toa lilllo mirror in ‘a corncr
of the room, cxlxmincd hcr hair cun'iully.
and then, after-touching up the polls of
her slecvcs and smmllllng her waist, slu-
aighcd and rclurnl-d in her scat.
"There, now, i'm all rcnlly."

“Some of yang tiemen were ashai '
about that stalled Foul in my robin," will
Professor Churchill, the mining expert at
the Montana club. “The story conceins an
experience that lands my hair curl. l was
once retained to'report upon the workings
ot a mine coiled the Little Whoop Up in
southern Arizona. ,0!) an adjoining claim
was another mine called the Atlas. A dis~
pule arose. The Atlas people claimed that
the lower tunnel oi the Whoop Up had been
bored into their ground and a half million
in ore taken out. ' "imlirst thing to do was
to lake a survey of the Whoop Up, and of
course the Whoop Up people objected.
Finally an order ,llor the survey was so-
cured irom the court, and Dr. John ll.
Parks and Iwerc sent to in he survey.
“There are tricks in’nll lra es, and the
Whoop U p superintendent knew a low.
When we reached the mine, he said that
the tunnel we wished to explore was in a
dangerous condition. There had been a
cave, the timbers were rotten, and so cli.
it meant a 10 lo ichance that we would
be crushed if we llricd it. Of course we
classed him as a liar, though he turned
-out to be right.
“We worked our way in the tunnel un.
til we run against a jaw of fallen timbers
which were sound and were plainly at};
ranged to stop our progress. l’urks went
back (or on u.\', while i worked at the roof
with a pick to dislodge the ccntcrpicccs.
Isuccccdednnd hmlclimhcd half wuyovcr

there came a terrific crush of looseorc from
the roof. it fell (in both sides of the tim-
bcrs, pinning me ill a hblc which would
have been a grave right lhcrc but for a
few slicks which hcill the muss of are
above. The place was barely large enough
to move in. and i knew it was ccrlaln
dcnlh in u fcw hours unless l’arks could
dig me out. Even then i believed l was
gone, for i did not know how much ore
had fillll‘li. in u fcw minulcs the air got
