ALWAYS TRUST THE GIRLS.

Iteßographeri Will Spurn Bribe* Rather Than Betray Secrete. Not long ago a Kansas City stenographer learned that the railroad for which she was working had determined to extend its line. She had a friend living In the town through which the line wag to run, A letter to him, with her savings, would have enabled him to buy at a low price the land the road needed, and the peculiar nature of the ground In that neighborhood would have enabled him to sell at a great profit Sfhe did not consider the thing more than a minute and then decided that It would be a dishonorable thing to do. Another stenographer In a large real estate office became aware of a deal In which $150,000 was involved. Certain Information she possessed would be worth thousands to the other parties. They made a few advances and hinted at rewards as high as $5,000 for her betrayal of her firm. She Indignantly refused and told her employers of the scheme.' ■Another stenographer was offered SI,OOO for copies of three letters which she had written. A lawsuit In which her employers were involved might hare gone against them had the opposing party been able to secure the Information contained In the three letters. The lawyer for the other side laid ten SI,OOO bills on her mother’s table and told her they were hers for the permission to read the letters The girl scorhed the offer. —Kansas City Star.
