I chance to have inside information that you—that is, the Star—will have it exclusively. Doesn’t that suit you?” The young man turned his back to the room full of chattering people and put his broad shoulders between her telltale young face and prying eyes. Their conversation was being held precariously at a crowded afternoon tea. “Look here, girlie." he said, “it’s just like this: Yesterday I was city man on the Star, with a good chance of promotion. I felt I had something to offer the girl I love. Today the Record might take me if I went to them with a scoop in my hand—and they’re not making a living for the met they already have.” “Oh. Tom." cried the girl, with a note of keen distress in her carefully suppressed voice, "you've not lost your position! How was it?” The young fellow nodded. “It’s Betts,” he returned gloomily. “You know what Betts is. I was all right with him till Mr. Markham noticed my work and (as I’ve been informed by a man on the inside) told Betts to push me as fast as possible, for he thought I’d make a good chief in my department. Betts won't keep a man on the staff who is a possible rival. He called me into bis private room yesterday morning and gave me an order which he knew I'd refuse to execute. When 1 did so, he worked himself into a rage and discharged me. Well. I said some things an assistant can't say to his chief l>cfore the discharge came. Then I asked to be allowed to leave at once—and here I am. I've acted the fool. I'm not fit to be trusted with your future, dear. I"— His voice broke a little am’ sank into silence. “You’ve done just as I would have you do.” the girl returned loyally, "and now if you’re off the Star and not on the Record how would this cotton mill sco< p affect you?” “It would square me with Betts if I could i>eat him on it. and if 1 could take it to the Record it would assure me a place there. But what's the use of talking? I’ve tried all I know, and 1 can't get a word of the story.” “If I thought it would be just right,” she murmured. “Tom,” looking at him anxiously, “you're very sure nobody will lose money by it if the Star gets left on this?" “Oh. you mean outsiders! I'm telling you the truth when I say it won't make any difference whatever, financially, to anylxxly if the Record gets a scoop on this cotton mill business and publishes the fact first that Senator Morgan is in town looking for a site for the buildings." “All right,” said the girl, laughing a little. “Y u see. he's mother's cousin, and of cours" we went to the h -1 to see him when he first came in yesterday morning. While we were there your Mr. Betts of the Star came up. I He and Senator Morgan were in school together and are old friends. “Mr. Betts is g ,:ng down to Birmingham to attend a land sale, but I heard the senator promise him that be would not allow his name to be put on the hotel n . -ter nor p- rmit any of the Rec- ! ord folks to find ou: that he was here. ' “Mr. Betts was to send a reliable man around from the Star the next day—' why. that’s today, Tom. It’s this very i evening! And the senator was going '

. to give him the details of tha cotton I mill scheme, with the names or all the I eastern stockholders and, if he decides I upon it the exact location of the mill.” I "Isn’t that enough to make angels I weep?” groaned Tom Harding. I ’Toor Tom!" said the girl. “You I look positively thin. Have a little more [ oyster pate. You'd feel amiably disI posed toward anybody who would help j I you out on this, wouldn't you ?” i "I'd love ’em for life. Well. I reckon I can tear down to the Record office and make the longest item I can out of the fact that 1 do know Senator Morgan is here and that his plans are coming on all right. They don't even know 1 that much.” "Dear me!” confided the girl to her ' fan. “Men are stupid creatures!” "But women aren't.” said Harding gayly. “I know you've got a scheme ' in that pretty little head of yours.” “It's so easy." said the girl, yawning a little. “I heanj Mr. Betts making the engagement for his num for late this evening, and the name he used ' was that of a gentleman of my acquaintance. a certain Mr. Thomas : Harding. All you have to do is to go ■ a little early. Then when the senator has told yon all you want to know, why. you just say something a little 1 disagreeable, so that when the real 1 Star man comes Cousin John will be furious and won't see him. I'm ashamed of you to lack a bit of invention like that. “Great Scot!” murmured Harding In awe. "You are worth any two men on the staff! S.i v. you ought to be a newspaper man's wife, do you know it?” “I believe yon said something like that to me before, and I have taken the matter under advisement. If I find a newspaper man that's worth having, why. well"— She laughed saucily as she rose. • ♦ • • a • • When Harding's card went up to the senator, it found that gentleman seated at a Dig desk with a pile of papers before him. “I'm glad that fellow’s come.” he said. “I hare the stuff ready for him. and I want to get it off my hands.” Harding was most affably received. The full details and complete plans 1 were furnished him. together with the architect's sketch of the proposed mill and a photograph of the senator fur illustrative purposes. As he r*se to go. with his bundle of documents and well filled notebook in hand, he said: "By the way, senator, wasn’t your name recently connected with some sort of a little story—er—scandal. I supiose straitlaced people would call it? It would add spice to ‘an otherwise bald and uninteresting narrative’ if you’d let me ring that in. Don't you think so?’ The senator sat at his desk and looked at his interlocutor aghast. “Young man,” he thundered, "put—-those—-a pers—down!” “Oh. no,” said Harding: “the Star wants these papers." which was certainly the truth, “and as for the other I business, why. you may be a deacon I from DeaconviUe for what I know. All sorts of things go into the papers.” The senator had risen and was coming toward him as he retreated. “You tell Mr. Betts for me,” he roared, “that if he don’t fire you I’ll save him the ' trouble by wringing your neck for you!” Then Tom Harding had an inspira-: tion. “See here, senator.” he said, “you're mad now. Oh, yes. you are.; i I can see It. though you dissemble it so I beautifully. “I’ll go”—the senator was I coming uncomfortably near just then—“but I’ll be back in about half an hour, when you've had time to coo] down." What the senator said when the card , of the genuine Star re[>orter was carried up to him just twenty minutes lit- 1 ! er has become legend and story in that j hotel. The bellboys gathered in a delighted I 1 cordon to hear him swear as he sent i the message that if that idiot ever came back there again or sent anylxxly

i else from the paper he'd kill him. s The Star people continued to send s men to interview the senator, who ap- ■ peared to them to be demoniacally pos- ■ .. wT >ll 1 sound of his unutterable roarings down the corridor, they not unnaturally gutb- . I ered the impression—indeed the impres- > sion was abroad pretty generally then | —that the senator had been wined and ! i dined rather too extensively, and as Betts, who would have saved them that f crowning folly, was absent they hinted as much in the next morning's issue of . the paper. It was on this same morning that the I Record brought out a complete illusr trated history of Senator Morgan's cotton mill deal and a taking little , biography and interview with the sen-1 I ator himself. The cotton mill meant salvation to , the overboomed little southern town. ’ j and the Record's scoop tn giving the first full and authoritative account of I its location did several things. It gave ' i the Record a standing long coveted and . worked for. It gave Tom Harding a ' secure position on the Record staff and . incidentally placed him where he felt able to marry. Nobody but Tom Harding and Tom I Harding's wife knows just how the scoop came about — well, no one but . ! Senator Morgan, perhaps, for he. being related, as you# remember. to Tom ! i Harding’s wife's mother, sent the bride ! 1 for a wedding present a very pretty ' diamond star and a note, in which he made much jocular use of the word. sug_- sting. j!t.."ng other things, that he believed she was certainly getting a “star” husband. > Grim Scotch Wit. - The People's Friend cites the following as a sample of "characteristic; : Scottish wit—keen, grim and caustic:” ! A certain parishioner dealt in old; horses, alternating his spell* of labor j with heavy sprees. During the p>e riod of depression which followed each 1 ovehndulgenee John habitually took to bed and there diligently studied the I family Bl’de. During one of these fits I of attempted reformation his condition j prompted his wife to call in the Rev. j Mr. Wallace, the parish minister, who at the time hapjiened to be passing. “Oh. Malster Wallace, come in and see our John: he's rale bad?’ "What's wrung wi’ him?" “He's feart to meet his Makker." said Mrs. John. Quick as fire came the crushing reply: "Humph! Thell’m he need ua be feart for that; he'll never see’m.” Every Man Tins Hi* Master. No man is completely free. Every man has his master. The supremest despot is a thrall, for there is some body whom he fears and must court. If he does not dread the plebs, he dreads the patricians; if he is not afraid of the people, he Is afraid of the I army with which he cows the people: | if there is danger in neither the rabble nor the pretorian guard, there is a minister. a major domo. a foreign nation, a jester, a satirist, a dynamiter or a woman who worries and frightens him and in a measure controls his actions. Put two human beings together, and ' each will acquire mastery in some rej sped over the other. The human race is a social body. Men are interdependent. Absolute freedom and splendid isolation are alike impossible. Every one must obey orders or suffer.—San Francisco Bulletin. Homeseekers'vexcursion to points West and Southwest.
