Show wanted a personal answered. I wrota the letter, and she copied it that It might be in a feminine handwriting. We struck up quite a friendship over that letter, and I fell Into the habit of stopping and say log a word to her about the answer which never came. Gradually our talk went to other things, and that's how I got to know what a thoroughly nice little woman she was. You knew that she'didn't take any regular assignment, didn't you? She wrote those clever little 'Overland in the City, Nineteenth Century Love Stories.' " "No. I didn't know that. Well, by jingo!" replied Brown, "I used to think Leary wrote them." "They were better than Leary V work, I think. Anyhow, that's how we got to know one another so well, and when we left the Moon, I never quite lost track of her. The Moou stopped its fiction department, and she get. up as special writer. After awhile she was hurt in that accident on the cable. You remember? I told you when it happened. She was in a hospital for two months, and sick on her savings for another two. By that time, she had dropped out of the minds of Sunday editors, or her frienda were gone. At all events, she went from paper to paper without being able to kcII her stuff. She couldn't do regular work because bad weather set her shoulder to aching so that she was almost laid up. I saw her once or twice and asked how she was getting along. 'I'retty well, she answered, with her brave little mile; 'at least, I hope norne of my stories will be accepted this time. "I was sent to the strikes in Chicago then, and I didn't see her again until today. Tho address Dr. Burnside gave on t he east side-de- cent was a lodging-hous- e enough. The woman who ran it said that Kate had come to her three days before. She brought n Gladstone bag, and said that if the plnr-- suited her she would send for her trunk. Kate had known the woman who ran the house, a Mrs. Thompson had given her a write-u- p of some kind. So she was glad to take the girl in. Kate told her she had a big story on hand for one of the magazines, and did not want to be disturbed. She'd take care of her own room.

Brown glanced sharply at his aide with those keen eyes of his. he said; "make a good story of it." Grayson was an unconscionable time writing the story, and, in the end, ho made barely a quarter of a column out of it. When it was finished he waited until he saw the editor getting into his overcoat to go home. Brown and he were old friends. Together the3' had rtruggled for a foothold n the newspaper world, on the staff of the Moon. And together they had left it after Grayson's famous fight over hs bill. lie had been ordered to Johnstown at the time of the floods, and of course had gone at a moment's notice to brave dangers in pursuit of news for his paper. Nights in theoprn air. his coat rolled up for a pillow, on damp ground or in freight cars, once in a limekiln, once in the branches of a tree, ho had mined the suit which was new the day of liLs drpartnre.

But the paper in whose service h had faithfully done anddarcd, whose graphic accounts had been his work, cut out the 160. Then he and his friend left. So he waited for Brown with reasonable surety. The two men walked up Broadway to their favorite restaurant, for a v hile in silence. "You didn't remember Miss Taylor when I mentioned her Jtwt now, did you, Frank?' Grayon snld. nt length. "Barely; I loft track of her after we left the Moon. She was a pleasant, inoffensive little thing, tvian't she? "fihe was a right nice girl, minding her own business, neither slangy nor vulgar.
