eaay to aaccrtaln that Hobbs was
quite romantic—yes. most romantic
There wasn't a dsy la which it did
not appeal to him Ills name spelled
Hobbs. but bis heart spelled plainly
it-o-man-c-e.
Now you can understand a little
better why he cherished the Inat
glove, and possibly you can account
for his baring kissed It three times—
j tenderly, devotedly
He did all this. In the quiet and se-
clusion of bis own office, for Hobbs
made no boast of his romantic nature,
' and even tried occasionally to conceal
It from his prosaic friends.
He held the tiny glove In hU right
band and dreamed; then be trans-
ferrod It carefully to bis loft band,
and dreamed some more.
It was a little glove, and Hobbs hn<*
a penchant for holding little hands,
ftlg ones be abhorred. He bad tried
them all. and his final verdict was
that the smaller the hand the biggei
the love (not the glove). That wa?
why he had picked It up In the flr3t
place; that was why he was dream
ing over It instead of the work piled-
high on bis desk.
The castle he built out of that small
glove was by far his greatest achieve
raent Jn that line—and that was right
in his line. He was a builder of can
ties, a maker of mansions, and often
smaller things than even that glove
served for foundations.
That noon he carried it with him to
lunch in his breast pocket, and th«=
waiter wondered why he received a
half-dollar for a tip from the absent-
minded man who felt continually In
his breast pocket.
Hy three that afternoon he had
decided on her every feature and
talent, he had created his fairy from
the^glove—and, now that he had made
her to order, he determined to find
her and realize his dreams.
The case simply was this: She had
lost a glove; she would know that
somebody had found It; she would
know about where she lost It; she
would go there and inquire. If that
failed, she would go to the lost and
found bureau in the store and leave
her name and address, so that If the
glove were found she could get It-
Then, too, she might advertise for it.
loi It was a new glove and the other
was useless without it. And then, 11

With this idea In mind he started
cut and went to the department store
where he had found the glove. But
the store was closed, and he teok tht
:rar for home, troubled by the loss of
rime, but certain that he would find
her in the morning.
That night he went happily to bed
and dreamed of her—dreamed of her
tenderness, of her daintiness. He saw
her before him with those tiny hands,
with feet to match; he saw her in his
night dreams as he had created her ir.
his day dreams.
And then the hope—no, the surety

He kissed her hastily and hurriedly.
It really was the busy season for Mr
Pepper, and his day waa full of wor
rles. It was six o'clock when he left
the office. He dlr.ed at a restaurant,
and then went back to work at his
hooks. At 11 o'clock he went home.
Mr. Pepper opened the door aa usual
*ith his latch key and ran upstairs
and into his room before he struck a
match.
"Great Jupli;r," ho exclaimed, aa
the ll£bt flared up.
The room was empty.
"She has moved, of oourao. But
where?"
Mr. Pepper did not know.
He turned out the ga3 and went
downsralrs. After ringing Brown's
boll next door for five minutes he
succeeded in awakening Brown, who
raised a front window on the second
Coor and looked down.
"What In the deuce la the matter?
Who is it?" asked Brown.
We've movei," Bald Popper. "Do
fou know where we live now?"
"No, of course not I'll ask the
missus."
In a minute Brown came back to the
window.
"You live over on Calumet avenue
somewhere. That's as near as I can
come to it. Better come in and go to
bed. You can find your house In the
morning."
"No, thank you," said Pepper.
"She'll be crazy about me before
morning I'll go back to the office.
When she remembers that I don'l
know the new address she'll tele
phone.'
At 12 o'clock Mrs. Pepper began to
feel uneasy. She was tired to death
from moving, but when she awoke
from a ahort sleep at one o'clock she
got up and dressed, and at two she
waked the maid.

Ing hla men to Are at tha whltee of

aet with that majestic calmness which
aver distinguished tba hero of Buoaa
Vista.'
-Now. I don't want to hurt your
feelings, Mr. Scudder. hut really, for a
Journalist, this kind of thing won't do.
You certainly must realise that the
battle of Bunker Hill waa not fought
In a caatle with battering rams; and.
at any rate, when you allude to tha
Duke of Wellington communing with
Oeneral Butler, and connect him with
Duena Vista, there Is actually no hope
of your molding public opinion oa
those topics. The public mind is
made up. And then a little farther
on. In the next column, you say:
"This was the very crisis of the
battle. Joan of Arc, spying General
Jackson behind the cotton bales,
dashed at him npon her snow white
charger swinging her ponderous bata-
tle-ax above her head; her fair hair
streamed behind her in the wind. As
her steed pressed forward, her hair
caught in the bough of a tree, and as
she hung there. Sergeant Bates shot
her through the heart with a bolt from
an arquebuss. Her last words were,
"Don't give up the ship."'
"Now, you see, Mr. Scudder, this
kind of thing sets people to talking.
It hurts the paper. You've got Absa
lom mixed up somehow in your mind
with "Joan of Arc, who died about
10,000 years before Oeneral Jackson,
who wasn't at Bunker Hill, and who
never knew Sergeant Bates any more
than Sergeant Bates knows how to
Are an arquebuss. Arquebuss! Gra
clous Heaven! No doubt you meant
well, but you've about done the busi-
ness for us, especially here, where you
say:
