A Practical Wooer j
[Original. ]
Henry Truesdale was a practical
young mau. a member of the best so
cial circle and 111 every way tilted to
get on. lie was economical. but not
niggardly. lu his busluess he was very
systematic aud had a remarkable knack
of saving labor, which Is the result of
system, though some people have a
special sift in getting things done with
the least trouble. Truesdale sat at his
desk at the head of his department
Idly twirling a pencil, and yet his pred
ecessor hail never had time enough to
do his work Moreover, it was admit
ted that Truesdale was the better man
ager of the two.
Mr. Truesdale went into matrimony
In the same practical fashion as he ad
ministered his department. He re
garded every girl lu his circle as he
would regard so many applicants for a
position of confidential typewriter and
stenographer Fie examined the cre
dentials and qualifications of all aud
sifted the applicants down to two,
Martha Haynes ami Gwendolen White
head. Neither possessed means In her
own right, but Mr. Truesdale had noue
himself and was too good a business
man to pro|>ose a partnership to capi
ta! without capital himself.
Having thus selected the most prom
ising candidates, he proceeded to carry
his attentions info the homes of both
in order to observe them without the
limelight of society, One rainy Sat
urday night? called tub night U'fore
the day of modern plumbing? he re
solved to begin operatlous by visiting
Miss Haynes. "I shall be likely to take
her off her guard and can the lietter
Judge of her." he said
Now. it happened that it being Satur
day night, and rainy at that. Miss
Haynes, who was her father's house
keeper. concluded to examine for her
self the range on which the cook had
recently been spoiling dinners. The
servant bad gone out. ami Miss Hayn
removed the ashes. Including
not neglecting the ehimuey. which was
choked with soot. While she was thus
encaged the doorbell rang. and as Miss
Havnes was the only person in the
h >u.e she was obligwl to answer the
trrUig'otdeal as best she could, invited
him in. excuse,! herself while she made
a bastv toilet, then came down and
joined him in the drawing room
The result, while it was not what
might be exiw.-t.xl from a severely
practical ...an, was in perfect accord
with Mr. Truesdale s bent. Miss
Havnes in taking upon herself to Jo
what the servant could not do showed
energy, hut it seemed to Mr Tree. ?
dale that there must be ? tu'k J*
tem in a house where such a sur, rLe
could happen However. he parsed a

Other candidate. Miss Whitehead, the
next rainy Saturday night.
Lie found Miss Whitehead sitting be
fore a cheerful fir.-, reading a maga
zine a pair of dainty slippers protrud
ing from under her skirts. her costume

er have known from her appearance
that It was Saturday night. He sat
down and began to chat with her. all
the while wondering at the harmony
o' the different articles ?f her costume.
the dainty >f theroom.
and. having an analytical eye. he dls
coveretl that there was not a costl.
thing in either. The pictures on the
wails were works of art. but not ex
pensive; the furniture was the same,
kml as to the lady's dress It was an
attractive combination of scraps,
though it required an experienced eye
to discover this.
"I'm getting awfully down on the
messenger servi,*." said Mr. Trues
dale "1 had an invitation to dine with
a friend tonight, and. having made up
mv mind that 1 wished t? si>end the
evening with you. I declined. I sent
a replv bv messenger and. though the
distance was not over half a mile, the
charu*' 1 ,
??A note with a special delivery
stamp would only have cost you 12 ."
"Singular. " observed Mr. Truesdale.
"1 never thought of that.'
"We "iris whose fathers haven't for
tunes and who must keep up our posi
tions in society are obliged to think of
,uch things. Mr. Truesdale. We cant
help ourselves. Mamma has no head
for economy, and 1 am obliged to
think for myself or giv- up society.
??The next time 1 send a uote to a
girl I will use your plan. But 1 couldn t
terv well -end a note with a delivery
stamp on it to a girl, could 1 :

2S worth of violets, and the ttor st
w'll send them with your uote right up
To the girl. Vou wUl have your not
sent for nothing and make the girl
hat>py with the violets."
Mr Truesdale sat looking at the pro
poser of this beautiful financial trans
JSfon with mingled surpr.se and ad
miration. But he was accustomed to
fr?\n his approval of the acts o.
suggestions of his subordinates in busi
ness for fear they would expect an
crease of salary, and from force of
SLblt he made uo commeutou^s

been made for the road via Marshall

that the northern terminal of tbe line
