The office . .of Horwitz & Mallon,
wholesale brass manufacturers, shone
With polished fixtures and fresh white
wood..' A pleasant, cheery place to
work; in, Mabel Thurston thought aa
she eutered. She had come early that
morning because it was the last day
Of the month and a great deal of corre
spondence had to be finished up. She
greeted Dick, the office boy, before go
ing into her own Jittle sanctum, for, as
the "graphophonist" of the firm, she
Vaa given o nook away from the rattle
of tickers and other machines.
r "The boss left a note fer you, Miss
rurston," said the boy as he followed
ber In; carrying an armful of wax cyl
inders. "There it is."
Mabel read it as she opened and
dusted off her typewriter. "No. 3 im
portantto be done first. Then 5, 4
and 2. ; C. H."
She nodded understanding and fit
ted cylinder No. 3 into the grapHbphone
that stoodpn the table at her elbow.
Then she wound up and started the
machine and, having fastened about
her head the cap that held the tubes
against her ears, sat down prepared
for the work.
,i The Instrument buzzed a few sec
onds, then started off. "Take this letter-to
Messrs. Carroll & Briggs, Mid
dle Bdxbury, Mass.,' began the gruff
voice of Carl Horwitz. She could al
most"' see the sharp glances he gave
from under his bushy eyebrows while
he dictated. The typewriter began to
rattle In a businesslike way. Other
stenographers and clerks came In,
laughing and chattering, and settled
down to work, and the office quickly
resumed Its usual active appearance.
'''Hurrying, for he was a little late, en
tered Pierce Mallon, the junior part
ner. . He , was Horwltz's nephew, a
bright young fellow of twenty-six. He
hesitated a moment, with flushed face
and embarrassed air, before Miss
Thurston's door, then moved on to the
Inner office. Puzzling over the phras
ing of a sentence, Mabel did not see
him enter, though she always looked
for his morning greeting and felt some
thing lacking In the day when she
missed it. Of late the handsome boy
who blushed and stammered whenever
he spoke-to her bad been often in her
thoughts. .
'No. . 5 next," jihe thought pleasur-
f-ably,' handing Dick a sheaf of letters
to be signed by Horwitz. That cylin
der always contained Mallon'e corre
spondence and she enjoyed hearing his
sympathetic voice.
i."Please take this letter, Miss Thurs
ton," It began deferentially so differ
ent from, his uncle's abrupt manner.
"Mr. Henry S. Wright, 845 Main street,
Pooghkeepsle, N. Y. My dear. Mr..
Wright," and so continued, the girl
drinking in every1 word.
If you've finished that, the next is
a personal ' note," Mallon's voice went
on. -He stopped a minute, then con
tinued with many halts and jerks of
utterance. "Dear friend no, my dear
friend just leave out the name, Miss
Thurston. My dear friend, though I've
wanted to do so many times lately
In fact whenever I passed your door
I've never had the courage to speak to
Lyon of a matter on which I feel very
deeply, I don't know now youn re

out, "My deah girl. If you love me

Next day when she came to cylinder
No. 5 In the routine of correspondence
aiauei round herself bonlnsr for the lit
tie personal message which should give
assurance to her heart. It conte' ab
ruptly, but decidedly:-
"I'm going to stop this sort of thing,
Mabel. It smacks of cowardice, and I
want to be worthy of your respect I
mean to put my fate to touch at once,
so expect me this afternoon,"
The girl's heart sang its paean of Joy
as her fingers flew over a heavy budget
of letters. When the day was over she
waited for his coming till long past her
usual time of leaving and w.ent home
at last, sad and uncertain " what to
think.
"Say, you'll find some tall cussln' on
i the tubes today, Miss Turston," said
Dick as he brought her the cylinders
next morning. "The boss chased Mr.
Tierce off to Boston In a hurry yester
day, then ripped round all the afternoon
'cause he couldn't find some rush or
ders the jouug feller put away. I tell
you, there'll be fur flyln', you bet when
he gits back this mornin'."
Dick wondered why Miss Thurston
beamed so on blm and presented him
with a rose she had JuBt bought. He
could not know that his news had put
an end to a bitter heartache. It was
Saturday, a half holiday, and ber only
fear was that Pierce would not return
In time. f
The clerks had all left and even the
elevator had stopped running before
she covered the Instruments and still
he bad not come. Slowly she adjusted
her h-t before the mirrors There came
a rush of eager, impatient feet up the
stairs, and the door of the office was
burst open. He dropped his suit case
and came forward with outstretched
hands. , -
"Oh," he exclaimed, breathless and
relieved, "I was afraid you would be
gone!" She did not turn.
"You know, don't you, why I didn't
come yesterday? You understand It
was not my fault that I hadn't time to
send you a note even?" She bowed her
head In silence. "Ah, but you Still
think It was unmanly to talk through
that old graphophone! Forgive me,
dear, I didn't know what I was doing.
But I do love you, Mabel." He would
not be discouraged by her. silence. "I
love you and I want you. Tell me, can
you forgive me and love me a little In
return?" '
Then she wheeled about her face
radiant, her eyes shining like gray
stars. "Pierce, dear!" was all she said,
but be was satisfied, for be read the
answer In her eye3.

VALUE OF WIDE TIRES
..AMADIAN DOCTOR TELLS HOW THEY
: BENEFITROADS. v '
Have Create OearlnsT and Do Nat
Cn' into. Them lie Favors Tires
Peer Iaokes Wide Haw Ther De
atrw Itata." ...
A rust amount of tbe present wear
and tear of and Injury to roads could
readily be avoided by using wide In
stead of narrow tires on heavily load
ed wagons, says Dr. J. O. Beume of
Toronto, Cxuada, in the Motor News.
Narrow wagon tires are the great de
stroyers of . good roads. v The Injury
done by these Increases as tbe wagon
gets older ' and ' the wheel wabbles
loosely eu tbe axle. A narrow tire on
an old and heavily loaded wagon can
do mbre damage to a road In one trip
to market and back than would pay
for a new wagon.
. Wide tjres, on the other band, are a
benefit rather- than an Injury to the
road-Tboy . nave a greater bearing
and do not' cut Into the road. Instead
of two Inches of road surface support
ing the load, wagon and all, by dou
bling the width of fire the load Is dis
tributed over twice the amount of road
surface. In making wagons considera
tion should be given not merely to the
strength of the wagon and Its wheels,
; , a wiua nan boao in kANsAS. v
but also to the strength of tbe roads to
be traveled and tbs kind of wagon tbey
have strength to support " . , t
Tests have been made from time to
time of "the effect of wide tires not
merely on tbe roads, but also on the
pull required to move tbe loads. Among
these tests have been those made by.
the British Association For the Ad
vancement of Science In 1902, by the
experimental station of Missouri uni
versity of 1807 and more recently by
the United States war department
The results In sll cases have been
practically the same:
Flrst-Wltb regard to the roads It Is
found that wide tires leave a road In
better condition than before, passing
over It ' " ' - '--v
Secoud. As to tractive effect the
ouly practical disadvantage of wide
tires arises where tbe road to so soft
thst tbe wheel sink Into It 'and tbe
mud' sticks to tbe rims and packs be
tween tbe spokes. On very banj,
smooth roads or roads covered with
dust wide tires require a very slightly
Increased tractive effort On all other
classes or roads the advantage to tn
favor of tbe wide tire.
The practical application of the re
sult of teats la that for traffic on coon-'
try roads If wide tire of four. Inches
snd upward are generally used. there
would be a decided Improvement hi
every clas of rood. The tractive pow
er required wonld be less and tbe cost
of keeping tint road In repair Would
be much re.!.:red. If all farm wagon
were equip, cl wltb wide tires the
muddiest nud stickiest of our road
would be very much Improved and
mmiy of what are now known as bad
rond wonld be for tbe moat of the
year In fair condition.
While tbe majority of wagons con
tinue to bare narrow tires, tbe few
baring wide tires are bearler to draw
on very muddy and sticky clsy roads,
bat on tbe great majority of roads, tbe
average country roads, tbe advantage
la la favor of tbe tire four Inches wide.
It is urged sgalust wide tires that
thef do not. roll freely In tbe ruts
mad by asrrow Urea. So long as nar
row tires are commonly need this win
be tbe case) to some extent; but, on the
other band, Jf wide tires were general
ly naed tbe ruts would not exist
la any case, wltb narrow tires tbe
bottom of tbe rots made by tbe nar
row tires are uneven, and tbe narrow
rims are constantly grinding agalnat
the eldos of tbe rata, creating tbe
greatest friction, so that tbe objection
able difference to not so great a It
appears on first sight If It exist at alt
It Is further contended that tbe wide
Href come In contact with more tooaej
tones than do these with a narrow
tread. The greater resistance offered
lo' this way la more than eoaaterbel

In tbe one case t!i wheel goes to
