herself as she held the envelope In her hand fearing tq open It rrt She had had a little experience aa a writer and knew that quick returncs usually meant no sales and her first thtqught was that Frank had declined the honor of being her husband That was a mortifying thought In Itself and the continuation of the train of thought suggested by the comaprlson I of her offer with the manuscript was not a comfortIng one ghe had offered herself even as she hadi been wont to submit a story or pouro to an edljtor The only conso latin she coiil get out of the com parJ4plZ was found in the thought that I she Ylasnt exaitjy placing herself on the market as if one editor FrauU I Webster by t name declined sue wouldnt offer herself to another When Miriam thought to look at the postmark sha wan convinced that the letotr had been posted before Frank could have received her letter Wit1 l trembllng finger this maid who had had so much courage a few hours be ¬ fore opened thf envelope and real

loss of her felfrdpeet But perhaps there is yet a chance to save It thought Miriam as once more came to her mind Uint friend of mankind and womankind the much abused and nilsunderstood telephone She wouid u1 to get Frank at his of lice and it by any chance he had not received the letter or had not reM- it if he had received It she would make him promise to return It with ¬ out rending But she realized that the hope was a faint one as there wits almost no chance that the letter had not been received jr and if he had re ¬ ceived Jtwel1 she1 would like to see him leave a letter Of hers unopened for more than a minute 1 And so this contradictory woman went to the telephone with a weak voice and a faint heart hoping against hope that FffiiHC Tfaal6SH yfrom the office and that the letter had ar ¬ rived In his absdncd The reply to her inquiry for tyn Webster gave her momentary comfort as she was told that he was out but when she asked further questions she learned that he had been In the office until a few min- utes ¬ before the time of her telephone call As she hung up the receiver Miriam said to herself with a sad smile that she wished she could hang herself as easily The next halfhour was one of the mot miserable that the girl had ever spent She again read her lovers letter but instead of finding any com- fort ¬ for her troubles the reading only added to her misery He thought me so modest and wom- anly ¬ and contrasted my conduct with that of others who were not so mod ¬ est But what does he think now THIS NEXT HALFHOUR WAS ONE OF THE MOST MISERABLE THAT THE GIRL HAD EVER SPENT that he has read my letter Modest girls dont prop seto men even If the men havent nerve enough to pro ¬ pose themselves unhappytrarne turned at night from bualhess He had a shamefaced look as be ap ¬ proached her Im sorry sis after all you said about the Importan of that letter but well Ive had an awful busy day of It and I forgot to post Hi Hero It is Her arms were

faithfully Ho marveled as days went by at her con ¬ tinned sweetness to him until she told him of her engagement and then he explained the problem to himself by saying that thonf was nothing like requited love to change a womans disposition And to this day Miriams broth or believes that her happiness in loving and being loved saved hlci from a scolding the day he forgot to post her letter

When Miriam Leslie h aincludOdthe delivery of this BpcqcHMvhlch hatonly Miriam Leslie for aft auiintlve au ¬

dience lhe sat down a 1i1r desk atonce and began to write the letterwhich she had planned tho uight before after Frank Webste liadTleft thehouse She had parted from him wiUa smile on her lips but tile smile hadlasted only long enough for fee doorto close Upon him and asMlrjam hadentered her room she looked far fromhappy

She had enjoyed Franks pcal but ithad as unsatisfactwil f

broader than tfihif arttWUtlU yqwith the determination to rWa let¬

Strangely enough as she adtolttedto herself the morning found her inln1unchanged with determination fixedto take advantage of her leapyearprerogatives

The writer of the letter had goneover In her mind its prospective con ¬

tents a number of tlmasland as a re ¬

sult her editorial revision hadboiled down untll1t was brletanti

to the point It ran as followsDear Frankt You have been coming to-

Me me for several years anfl the happyevenings we have enjoyed have made methink how pleasant It be If we CQuid

on spending them together the rest ofjinr lives Has the Idea ever occurred toyou MIRIAM

The girl heard her brother pass herdoor preparatory to Starting for busi ¬

ness and she no longer walted for theInk to dry brft grabbed a piece of blottlngpaper and the letter was soon inhlj bands He was told that It wasImportant and that it must be posted

him when on the way to his officeI

fWr brothers departure was tlmcly as Miriam had begun to weakpnfnher determination as she gavehim the letter she laid ta rrayr

She did however have many changes

By the afternoon post Miriam re ¬

I she Ylasnt exaitjy placing herself onthe market as if one editor FrauU

I

Webster by t name declined suewouldnt offer herself to another

When Miriam thought to look at thepostmark sha wan convinced that theletotr had been posted before Frankcould have received her letter Wit1

l trembllng finger this maid who hadhad so much courage a few hours be ¬

fore opened thf envelope and realas follows

of tile thought that she mightLave been happy without the loss ofher felfrdpeet

But perhaps there is yet a chanceto save It thought Miriam as oncemore came to her mind Uint friendof mankind and womankind the muchabused and nilsunderstood telephoneShe wouid u1 to get Frank at his oflice and it by any chance he hadnot received the letter or had not reM-

it if he had received It she wouldmake him promise to return It with¬

out rending But she realized that thehope was a faint one as there witsalmost no chance that the letter hadnot been received jr and if he had re¬

ceived Jtwel1 she1 would like to seehim leave a letter Of hers unopenedfor more than a minute 1

And so this contradictory womanwent to the telephone with a weakvoice and a faint heart hoping againsthope that FffiiHC Tfaal6SH yfromthe office and that the letter had ar ¬

rived In his absdncd The reply toher inquiry for tyn Webster gave hermomentary comfort as she was toldthat he was out but when she askedfurther questions she learned that hehad been In the office until a few min-

utes¬

before the time of her telephonecall As she hung up the receiverMiriam said to herself with a sadsmile that she wished she could hangherself as easily

The next halfhour was one of themot miserable that the girl had everspent She again read her loversletter but instead of finding any com-

fort¬

for her troubles the reading onlyadded to her misery

He thought me so modest and wom-

anly¬

and contrasted my conduct withthat of others who were not so mod ¬

est But what does he think now

THIS NEXT HALFHOUR WAS ONEOF THE MOST MISERABLE THATTHE GIRL HAD EVER SPENT

that he has read my letter Modestgirls dont prop seto men even Ifthe men havent nerve enough to pro ¬

And to this day Miriams brothor believes that her happiness inloving and being loved saved hlcifrom a scolding the day he forgot topost her letter
