HER LAST LETTER."
The sunbeams glanced blindingly from the window across the narrow street into Frank Getchell's corner of-
He was sitting at his desk, one hand nervously grasping a pen. Behind his desk the sunlight danced over the features of his stenographer, Alice Farrington.
He was thinking deeply. Repeatedly he pondered: "If I only knew! But how can I find out?' His smooth brow slowly contracted as histhoughts progressed.
She also was lost In thought, notwithstanding her busy fingers wandered accurately over the keyboard, her thoughts were an image of his. But to her soliloquies she added. "And I can never know if he doesn't tell me," and a sigh, drowned by the clicking of her machine, escaped her.
Getchell had hired many typewriters. H€ had experienced every species of them, but each became, sooner or later, cranky. Consequently, each had departed—up to a year previous. At that time he had engaged Alice, and for a whole year he had retained her—an unprecedented phenomenon for him. But what was more, he wished very much to keep her lorever. In short, he lover her. But he had never spoken to her of his passion.
Oddly enough, Alice love"' her employer. He was "so unlike other men," she told herself, "so kind and polite." But ehe experienced those same feelings of reticence that Getchell did.
So for a year they had loved, only expressing that love by occasional kindnesses just enough to keep the flame alive.
To-day Frank was wondering whetbmany of his best customers. They alhe might as well find out at once. If she did love him life would be beautiful if not—wretched.
Alice, too, wondered if Getchell could love her, and smiling faintly, reflected: "And should he propose? Could that ®ver be possible?" then pictured those sweet moments—his face when she Bhould whisper "Yes," and murmur the words which she had been storing away in her memory awaiting that fateful moment. "Could I ever have tkat pleasure?" she questioned softly. "Yes, all this might happen if it Wasn't for that Miss Hayes! Oh, how I
despise her!" and her beautiful brow contracted. She did not know, however, thai Miss Hayes was Getchell's cousin and that he would as srfon have thought of marrying the Italian "candy woman" v^Jio daily haunted the office, aa marry Ella.
A half hour sped by. Suddenly Prank exclaimed: "Alice, here's another letter." She grasped her little red-and-black-covered note book and Bat down beside him. "Dearest Ella: I can not wait another day. I have loved you
BO much for a year. I must know whether you love me. Will you be my wife and make me happy? You kno\^ I love you and would do everything for you. As word succeeded word Alice's face was a study. She did not, ae usual, keep her eyes upon GetcheH'e face they Bought the carpet. 'That's all," he •aid, as she finished.
Perhaps he saw nothing iu her face, but could he have seen her heart— the tearing, crushing passion which surged within almost burning her soul asunder. Her veins swelled and her fingers could scarcely find the keys. It was such a disappointment! How she hated Ella Hayes now!
But the short letter was finished, and with her day'* work she passed it to Getchell, exclaiming to herself: "That's the last letter I'll write for him!"
He took them with a sinie, read them over, and, as was his custom, corrected and emphasized with his pen a few words in each. Then, taking his coat and liat, he bade her a jaunty "good-night" and departed.
Alice, left alone, waited for his footsteps to die away. Then, sitting down she cried as though her heart would break. She accused Getchell of trifling with her—deceiving her. Yet, when elic paused to think, he had never I tried to win her affection. He had I simply been "kind" and "good." Try as she would, she could not accuse him. She did not realize then that
Cupid interfered. But she knew one thing. Her tear-stained face clouded as she cried: "Oh, but that Ella Hayes! How I despite her! He might have loved me but for her, and now"—but the glance I fell on an envelope upon the desk,
There, in Getchell's handwriting, were I the words: Miss Alice Farrington." I "lie needn't have troubled to turn me off. I'll g# soon enough," she thought, as she tore open the envelope,
She unfolded the note within, then
1
stood one moment with such a look ,, upon her face—shame, sorrow, sur--prise, delight, all blended together.
The same letter which she had written a few moments before was in her hand. "Ella" had been crossed out I and "Alice" written instead.
The office door creaked. She turned, •i and in the doorway, his face wreathed in smiles, stood Frank. He was treated I to a beautiful sight. The last reflected sunbeams played about Alice's fair I features, her beautiful bosom swelling I with emotion, and lost themselves around her supple waist. She was standing, one hand holding the letter and tlip other grasping the back of a chair.
He stepped forward and caught her In his arms. But she freely pushed him aside, exclaiming: "No! Explain yourself! What does all this mean? Who Is Ella Haves? You ar« trifling with with me!"
He quickly told her everything, and when he asked: "Darling, can you b« mine now?" ehe whispered: "Ye«."

A Dainty Cabinet.
A unique design for a cabinet for the library or sitting-room is shown in the accompanying illustration. The closet &t the top has a drop door, with side nhains, which gives added room for the examination of any articles the little -loset may contain. The drawers are convenient always and everywhere, while the top and the open shelf in the middle will hold booke or ornaments, the top making an especially appropriate place for a handsome lamp. The design is so simple that such a 2abinet could easily be made in the home work-shop, barring the curved Supports, and these would need only a

ONLY HALF A MAN.
"If you were half a man!" That was the phrase to which Harry Marlowe's ears hare grown accustomed of late.
Just now his wife, Rose Marlowe, was exclaiming sharply, "If you were half a man you wouldn't allow your wife to spade the garden whie you aat Idling O«L the pier."
Theirs had seemed such a suitable marriage, six years ago both young, healthy and handsome, they appeared then to have a fair prospect before them. Harry was the soul of good nature, and Rose, though quick tempered, had the tenderest heart in the world and a courage and uprightness that made no compromises.
One day when Rose was chopping wood for the stove the ax slipped and her foot was badly cut. She hobbled into the house and bound up the wound but it was several hours before Ilarry returned from his idle saunterings, and by that time she was faint from pain and loss of biood.
Dr. Sitnsum came and dressed the wound. "How did you manage to give yourself such a gash?" he asked. "It was—just an accident," stammered proud Rose. "Humph!" responded the doctor, with an intonation that made Harry redden. Then, with a few additional words of caution to Roee, he left the cottage, contemptuously ignoring her husband.
It seemed as if for once Harry was started out of his cloth. He tended Rose with tue utmost care, set the house in order—clumsily, it is true, but assiduously—cooked the meals after a slapdash masculine fashion and, in short, did all in his power to repair hie neglect.
In his new found zeal Harry made a trip to a neighboring city in search of permanent employment. On his return his first words were: 'Good luck! I've got a steady job at last," as though all the years of his married life he had been spent in that quest. "What sort of a job is it?" asked Rose. "Fireman on an engine." "But—isn't that rather hard work?" asked Rose, who had learned to doubt his staying quality. "Hard!" cried Harry, and he squared his broad shoulders and looked as bright and manly as in the old days. "Ain't I as strong as an ox?"
Rose's face was a rainbow of tears and smiles. "Forgive me, Harry, for doubting you,"she said, half sobbing, half laughing.
He was little at home after he began his new work but there were no cuting words, no looks that stabbed with scorn. Rose sang over her work and smiles came readily to her lips that had grown so stern and cold. What did it matter that they were poor—thati their lot was now that of mere laboring folk? She could respect her husband once more.
One evening as Rose was getting Harry's supper ready she heard a step on the porch and ran out to meet him. Two men were standing there. "What is it?" she cried, feeling an instant apprehension of misfortune.
They looked at each other and shuffled their feet awkwardly. "Is my husband dead?" she asked in a dull voice. "No, ma'am," replied one of the men finding his voice, "but badly hurt I There was a collision near Benton and we came to tell you about it."
When Rose reached Harry he was I lying insensible. Both of his legs,

"I'm 'half a man' now, Rose, in good earnest," he whispered one day with a melancholy smile." "O, Harry—don't!" sobbed Rose, "only forgive me for all those hard words." "They were deatwved, Rose—that's the worst."
Little by little, With many pauses and in a weak voice that often sank into a whisper he told her of the collision, the result of a train dispatcher's mistake. Te engineer saw the danger at a glance, became panic-fitricken and jumped—only to be killed by the fail. I "I was going to jump, too," said I Harry, "but when I said to myself, 'No, I'll play the man for once.' I did I what the engineer should have done— pulled the reverse lever and put on the air brakes—to lessen the shock, if possiblc. Uut it was of no use—and you know the rest." I "Well, dear," he said few minutes
later, "when it's aJl over you can go back to your people and forget about the dreary life I've led you. I've been a poor excuse for a. man all along. I realize that now." I "You shall not wrong yourself so," said Hose. "You had the heart of a hero in you, and whon the opportunity came you sowed your courage."
He smiled—a stnaAge, wistful, pitying smile. "Iyet her have tlie illusion, at least, after I'm gone," he thought. "You shall not diVj, cried Rose, raisIng one little toil-marked hand, as if to register an oatk. "You shall live, Ilarry—you must live. I will work for you. You must not leave me."
And he did not lie. "That little woman just wouldn't iet I him go," said the doctor.
Influence was e»»rted to secure for Rose the appointmint of postmistress in the little town. This insured them a support and theee were many ways in which Rose ekel out their slender income. Harry wan licensed now to be Idle, and no one reproaches him for It. He was a "helpless hulk," as he expressed it, but the best natured, most patient hulk IK the world.
