Each operator has a certain number of sub
scribers to answer. When several of them try to get
telephone numbers at the same time, somebody has
to wait.
The telephone lines are arranged on the
switchboard so that each operator can usually
answer all her calls in a reasonable length of time.
At certain hours of the day, however, there are more
calls than at other times and they all can not be
answered at the same rate of speed.
Remember that we want to give you good
telephone service always if possible. It means that
you will be better satisfied, and our success depends
upon a satisfied public.

"Ws Try Hard to P1cm"
1111, kr MoClui Npipr aradtcat.)
She was tiny and timid, a slip of a
girl, with the freshnem of country
talsles and green field about her. For
toany minute she had been standing
by the bis reviving doors of Iieucon'a
department store, searching erery face
as the crowds surged In and out.
Choking bark the persistent sobs
and fears, she realised that she mutt
think and think hard.
She had heard that In all big cltle
there were men whose doty It was to
direct strangers and to help them, and
he had always been warned to bo
very careful about speaking to people
promiscuously.
"Always ask policeman" that was
It "Always ask a policeman," mother
had said, and Aunt Carrie had said,
and Cousin Luclna had said "Always
ask a policeman."
Through the thinning crowd she sift
ed, glancing timidly about,' until she
spied a big, glowing-faced policeman
at the cross streets, t'p to him she
rushed, heedless of traffic or traffic
regulations.
"Oh, sir," she cried. "Jim's gone, and
I'm lost! Please tell me what to dot"
"ou're lost, are you T smiled the
policeman. "Well, who U Jim, and
where do you lire?"
Autos honked, drivers shouted and
pedestrians scowled and scolded whllo
Officer Dane hntened to the half-sobbed
tory of the little country Daisy.
"Jim Is James Dee from Chicago,
and I've run away from home to mar
17 htm, and now 1 cun't find him. I'm
so afraid aoniethtng has happened to
him. Please find him for me."
Officer Dane signalled for the Impa
tient drivers and pedeotrlans to cross.
Fuming and seething, they swept past
the stalwart man and the frightened
girl. The spot cpon which they stood
was like a tiny Island in a tempestu
ous sea of traffic.
"Walt a minute," encouraged Dane,
"and I'll help you."
Boon the home-bound rush hour was
over, and Done piloted his charge to a
sheltered corner.
"So Jim Is lost, Is he? And you are
going to marry him, are you? Just
play I'm your granddad and tell me alt
about It," and his kindly blue eyes In
vited confidence.
Hesitatingly Daisy explained that
71m had rome to her home In Danbury
Hill for his summer vacation a month
before when her mother had adver
tised for a few hoarders to help fill the
family pocket book. Jim was wonder
ful the finest man In the world. lie
loved her but mother didn't trust him
and wanted to know him better before
giving hrr consent. Finally, Jliu'S va
cation being over, he had found It tn
possible to leave Daisy, and she
couldn't let him go without her; so
they had eloped, and now he was lost
and site was lost and she was very,
anhsppy.
Big bill Dane pondered n moment. ;
"IK you love this Dee fellow well
enough, little lady, to go back home
tonight and face the music alone,
while I hunt for him?"
"Oh. If I only could go home," she
sobbed. "I'd never run away again.
Gently Officer Dune led Daisy,
soinewhut crumpled and crushed,
through the now quieter streets to the
railroad station whore, promising her
news In the morning, he placed her ou
the train for Danbury Hill.
The next noon a trim, big-shouldered,
blue-eyed mnn swung off the
train nt Dnnbury Mill station. Daisy,
from the hill-top, watched him climb
the hill and come straight up to her
door.
"flood morning, little lady," he sang
out to her. "How's your heart this
morning? All battered and torn or
cun It stand a little shaking up?"
"Why, It's my policeman," gasped
Daisy, "only you aren't a policeman
at all."
"Oh, yes; I am a policeman, all
right," chuckled Dune; "but It's my
day off and I cume to deliver my mes
supe In person. It's not I who am luas
queruding, but James Dee of Chicago,
U. S. A."
"Masquerading?"
"Sure," and genial Hill Dane settled
himself on the stone wall that skirted
the fa no. He mopjed his cheerful face
and beamed a smile of understanding
that vanned Daisy's heart
"I thought I was right-yesterday,"
he snld, "but I won tod to be sure be
fore I took a rbunce of breaking your
little ln-urt. Your friend Jim never
saw Chicago. He's a soda clerk In a
drug store. Many a lemon and lime
he's mixed for me, and I dropped In
for one this morning. He was Just
back from u month's vacation. Here's
a note he Mnt you, by the way."
Trembl'ng Daisy opened the note,
while Dane strolled away, his heart
sinking as It bad never sung before.
"Dear Daisy" the note reud. "I'm
a cad. I'm not a rich guy from Chica
go at all, so I quit you cold yester
day. You're too good a girl to Jolly.
BUI Dune ferreted me out. He's some
detective and the tg, unrest muu I know.
Forgive and forget. Jim."
The afternoon train was leaving
Danbury Hill stutlon for the city aa n
broud-shouldered man with glad blue
eyes Jumped gaily on the rear plat
form. "Good-by, little lady," he shouted.
"I'll be back for my vacation and,
say, that family advice of yours Is all
right 'Always ask a policeman.' Dont
forget to follow, it" ,
