ROMANCE OF SUIT CASE

Porter Proved to Be a Millionaire. By MIRIAM FOSTER. Hazel Huntington paid her bill at the desk of the Windsor hotel, and then turning to the clerk, said: “Do you know of anyone who will carry my suitcase to the depot?” “The chap over there,” answered the young man, pointing to one on the other side of the spacious lobby. “Thank you.” Then walking toward a great, big, stalwart fellow who looked at the girl with a surprised air as she spoke, she asked him: “Will you take my bag to the W. & Y. station immediately?” He hesitated for a fraction of a second, and then nodded his head. “Yes; where is it?” “Over at the desk with the monogram A. R. on it. Pleas'e be quick about it. There is no time to lose.” The young man grabbed the suit case with a vigor as if his whole future existence depended upon his maki a little extra money and followed ; Hazel down the street, catching up to ; the girl, who was neatly attired all in ; brown from head to foot. He commenced in a genial tone: “That building over there is the new library, and that—” “I beg your pardon,” replied Hazel, without looking up from the time table she held in her hand. “I asked for a porter, not a guide.” “Oh, I won’t charge anything extra for a little information,” persisted the i young man, as he went on to tell about the different landmarks as they passed thdm; and Hazel foupd herself against her will listening to him. As they approached the train Hazel started to take £er suit case. “No, miss, I’ll take jt right into the car. It’s too heavy for you to carry,” he insisted. - ' Finally when the engine started to whistle “all aboard,” Hazel handed him fifty cents. “Much obliged, miss,” Laurence said, taking the coin. “This is the first money I’ve earned today.” Then the car sped on, but Hazel’s thoughts would constantly turn to the splendid appearing fellow with the earaest face and quizzical smile. “Not one of our set to compare with him,” she admitted, to herself, “in looks or manners.” A few months later Hazel was seated in her pretty little room, a room which, like its occupant, was expressive of refinement and good taste, when her friend Eiise came in full of suppressed excitement. “What’s the news?” asked Hazel. “You’ll never guess. It’s so seldom anything new occurs here. Laurence Curran is coming home from college j James.”

TRAUB & SELIG “The New York Store”

Went On to Tell About Different Land marks.

“ Who’s he?” “He’s Millionaire Curran’s son, though he’s a great disappointment to his father, as he’s rather plebeian in tastes, and doesn’t care a rhp for society. All his sympathies are for the working classes.” “Why do you deny knowing him?” “How dare you doubt my word? I’ve never seen or even heard of him."* “Only because,” began Elsie apologetically, “Marie said she caught a glimpse of you two together last summer in Philadelphia.” “You misunderstood her, that’s all,” said Hazel, dismissing the subject. When Eiise related the above conversation Marie was nonplussed. “Such deceit, duplicity, hypocrisy,” she ejaculated. “Am I confounding facts with fancies when I tell you that left for the west a day sooner than we did, after we’d been away for a three weeks’ trip? She said distinctly enough whrin we bid her good by, ‘l’m glad to get out of this town. I don’t know a single soul except you girls,’ then later when we went in a sight-seeing car we saw her walking with Laurence, who carried her bag as if there was nothing in the world he liked to do half so well.” “Didn’t she see you?” “No, our faces were masked in automobile veils; besides they were too much engrossed in conversation.” “Rather odd, isn’t it? Maybe they’re secretly engaged or have some good reason for being so mysterious.” ‘Well, the mystery will solve Itself when Laurence appears.” “Marie,” confided Eiise the next time they met “Laurence never even paoved a mqgcle when I mentioned her

name. I can’t appear too inquisitive, as he’s our guest. But when you meet him, can’t you make some reference to the Quaker City?” The opportunity never offered itself. The next morning bright and early Laurence was up strolling about the pretty little town as if he was searching for some elusive thing. Evidently he was unsuccessful, for he returned later lopking glum and disconcerted. Eiise tried all in her limited power to entertain the young man, but could not even bring a smile from him. Only a vague "yes” and “no” was received in answer to every remark. Suddenly Laurence jumped to his feet and rushed to the window. “Who’s that girl over there?” he asked in mingled tones of astonishment and joy. “Which one?” questioned Eiise. “The one in brown,” he answered impatiently, “with pretty auburn hair.” Hazel Huntington. Don’t you know her?” “No,” answered Laurence, watching the girl intently. “But I’d give all and more than I possess to meet her. I’ve had visions of her ever since last summer,” he said; looking out rapturously. “She’s coming right here.” Eiise was too bewildered to answer and only recovered her composure as Hazel entered and gave Laurence a look of recognition. “I think we’ve met before,” commenced Laurence, as he extended his hand and gave her a look that spoke volumes. “We surely have,” replied the pretty girl. “But under vastly different circumstances.” “Then why did you say you weren’t acquainted?” Eiise couldn’t refrain from asking. “I knew Miss Huntington by sight, but not by name. Your friend discovered me last summer and I’ve been hunting for a trace of her in nearly every town in Pennsylvania since then,” exclaimed Laurence as he went on to say how Hazel had mistaken him for a porter. “I had my doubts all the time* while we were walking to the depot,” confessed Hazel. > "Didn’t you notice that I took you the Jong way around?”, “Yes, but I didn’t mind that; I rather wished It was longer,” laughed Hazel. “But I nearly missed my train, and I feared you weren’t paid enough for your services.” “Plenty,” answered Laurence, thinking that the girl was a hundred times prettier than he even remembered her to be. “I still have that half dollar, though I’ve spent much more trying to find a girl of medium height with blue eyes and auburn hair and whose in-' itials were A. R.” “Oh, that’s the reason you couldn’t,” laughed Hazel. “The monogram on that suit case was my cousin’s. I carried her’s because it was a more con-

venient size tnan mine.“Will you excuse me for a moment?” said Eiise. She thought she would not be missed while she telephoned to Marie that Hazel was not engaged secretly to Laurence, but she had no doubt she would be soon. (Copyright, 1312, by W. G. Chapmait.)

Longevity Is Greater.

Since 1900, nine years have been added to the life of the average Washingtonian. Figures showing this was yesterday made public by the district health department. They were taken from a chart prepared by Dr. Arthur L. Murray to be part of the district’s exhibit at the international congress on hygiene and demography. That the average Washingtonian has gained nine additional years in the last twelve is due, partly, to better sanitary conditions, and, partly to a reduction in the rate of infant mortality. The average Washingtonian lives to the ripe old age of forty-one years, one month, and sixteen days; in 1900 he died at thirty-two years, two months, and twenty-four days. If the average Washingtonian persists in gaining nine years in every twelve, the Society and Oldest Inhabitants will be the most, important body in the district by the yaai ?h-3C
