Itetllv he had stood It about ns long

tt > be ttiit he bad lost the gltl but that
le could not stop thinking about her
When their engagement was biokeu
lo was ablu to say to himself that the
net was wise that die would be hap-
pier as the wife of somebody else and
bo as the husband of nobody at all Of
course Miss Elton was a ery at-
tractive girl with a face that simply
wouldnt get out of a fellows mind
nnd a lot of the piettlest ways Con
found Itl Why had ho ever met her
Vvlij couldnt he stop wonylug and

I On this pntlcular day the deslto

to Und out just how these eonttlvuuecs
wne built hut he knew that the le
vohlug paitltlons inuld be lolilotl to-
gether handily so there was good pioa
pect of Itnrai Hate u lease
Indeed It was probablo that the door
could be turned by foico properly ap-

fiom putting niueh power Into the of
foit for tn pushing upon the paitlllou
nliead of lilm ho had nothing to brnco
ngilnst cscopt the partition behind
hlin nnd such an attempt was like the
old Joke about the mm who ttIt tl to
lift himself by pulling on his boot
stiips
Meanwhile the situation wns Inex
pioslbly embiriasslug Dozens of
men who knew Mi Prost and Miss El-
ton and the main facts of their unfor-
tunate love story were ninong tho
banks customcis or held oliices In tho
building A erltabo procession of
them might bo expected nt that hour
In the fotennon Pnncj being shut up
In u little glass wallid cell with the
gill to whom jou used to be engaged
and thus exposed to public view und
the tldleule of your filcuds It was
not to be lioi lie
In tho few seconds tint wete requir-
ed for the situation to toenl Itself to
Piost a etowd had collected It was
still possible to piss In and out of tho
building for on each side of tho ie
volvei theie win on otdluaiy door
but most people seemed to picfei to
halt aud view the spietnelo Piost saw
tin unlfoimid watchman of tlio build-

In the lower hall of the building bo
tnet Miss Elton It was what be ad
long feaied for be uncle was cashier

to see him often on eilands for her
mother
Of ouise he couldnt look at her
Neither corld she look nt him And
that Is wbj Ihej both tiled to g t out
< t t and both came together with a
ot In one of the couipaitments of tho
mplalv evolving door
Piost perceived the catastrophe tho
tenth of asecoud tou late Ho stopped
Aiddcnly In the wild hope that bo could
back out The door bumped against his
leela with tremendous farce and ho
lurched forwnul against Miss Elton In-
most erahntiasslng way Babbling
the most abject apologies be tluust
tut a hand ahead of Miss Elton nnd
tried to push the door atound It did
iKit move lie thiew his weight
against the leaf behind hint but It was
a Immovable as an Iron wall
Why whats the matter with tho

Vero climbing down fiom the vesti-

reasMiilnglj that It would be all light

Evidently tellef must como from
