Take this very afternoon just passed. It meant little, of course, either

to him or to the pretty little pathetic reporter girl, but it had

injected a bit of pleasure into her routine, and given him an insight

into another kind of maiden from the well-kept, sheltered women he knew

best. Such things help a man's larger sympathies. He was glad that he

could enjoy many types of men and women.

A rumble of wheels outside brought him out of this particular by-path

into the highway.

"What a dispensation that the mater didn't come home in the middle of

it!" he said with a sigh of satisfaction.
