"Will you please get off tho wire?"
Tho voice, though young nhufciiiluluc,
was nut. entirely pleasant.
'I boJlevo I took my receiver off
first," came back good-nntupjdly. "I
rim trying to get the Janitor. Aro you
tho Janitor's wife?"
"How ridiculous f Where Is tho ele
vator boy to answer the 'phono? I
want the Junltor." ,
A laugh came back through the
telephone. "Everybody wants the Jani
tor. The Inst I heard he had gone
out to try and buy soft coal. I dure
say you're tn the saino boat fhut I
amfrozen to death In your npnrt
ment. You know It won't do any good
to kick, but, like me, nothing else will
keep you wurm."
Thcro was no unswer. Freda Til-
son's receiver slammed back on the
hook thnt held it, nnd if she had heen
Inclined to talk to herself In her little
apartment she might have muttered
something about nn impertinent
creuturu who dared to talk to a g'rl
when ho did not know her, nnd that
she hadn't the most remote idea who
It was. Thnt would havo been a fib,
however, for she really did know that
it was tho young man who dwelt' In
bnchelor state ln the somewhat more
spacious nnd luxurious npurtmeiit In
front of her own, tho grenter luxury
and higher rent of his apartment be
ing duo to tho fact thnt while he
mnnnged to draw to himself a weekly
check for $75 for writing "thrillers" for
a popular weekly, she pounded n type
writer somewhere ln the "downtown"
district to the tune of sixty a month.
To her, having an apartment of her
own, wltli a little place she could cnll
homo, was a luxury that sho had
earned by much economy In the wvy
of nmuHoment and pretty" clothes.
His living there was put down to hla
Now England, origin, for Victor Paige
was morq of a miser than a spend
thrift, and he would rather dine alone
on tho simple faro that- his visiting col
ored housekeeper made for him than
to spend many ducats In alluring res-
tnurnnts. Now It happened thnt tho
typewriter thnt Freda Tllson pounded
was located In the very ofllco whlthor
Victor Pnlgc occasionally strolled to
deliver his manuscript, nnd mnyhnn
chin with tho editor. Perhnps sho felt
secret grievance, because, though
she had -noticed tho coincidence that
he frequented her ofllco and also abode
under the same roof, he had sought
no excuse to spenk to her ns thoy
passed In tho halls going home of ven
turlng forth. It does seem strange"
that Victor never sought tho excuse,
for Freda would have been good to
speak to. And there was nothing re
pelling In her round bluo eyes. But
then, Victor enme from New England.
As Freda performed tho task of
dusting nnd straightening up her little
nparttnent, clad to tho chin ln a
sweater nnd wearing gloves on her
hands ns she worked, she listened In
tently for a ring nt her doorbell that
would moan that tho letter she Vras
waiting for had come. When nil
chnnco of thc delivery wns over sho
descended to tho entrance to muKo!
suro that tho boy In attendance there
had not fnllod to deliver It to her.
Strnngo thnt Victor Pnlgo should
have gone forth nt tho samo time. Ho
waited whllo she mado her complaint.
"In the first place," she said, "If is
perfectly ridiculous that on the one
day In tho week when we hnv! to bo
homo, nnd when It would really seem
that apartments and houses ought to
hnvo enough coal to mnko them com
fortable, we should bo lundo. to suffer
in this wny. How I nni ever going to
write on my typewriter, with hands
stiff from cold, is moro thnn I can telh
It seems most extraordinary thnt my
mnnuserlpts did not como by tho mnll
this morning. My ofllco Is closed, nnd
it Is absolutely necessary for me to
typowrito sonto revised manuscript
that tho editor was sending by special
delivery, Are you quite sure nothing
has come for mo?"
Tho dusky skinned, attendant nodded
In tho negative,
"And is there no hopo of any heat?"
Again if negntlvo nod.
"Well, then, tho only thing for mo
to do Is to go nnd get some oil. Thank
gtodness, I bought a stovo."
Now It was Victor's Inning, Having
heard Freda's, plaint and tho unsatis
factory replies, ho did not mention the
frigid atmosphere thnt prevailed In Ida
apartment iib woll as In hers.
"I say, Obndlah bog pardon, I for
got your nnmo wns Hannibal you
haven't seen anything of a stray mes
senger boy with a typewriter, hnvo
you? Of courso you haven't. Ihit,
you see, the place I usually dictate my
cop'y Is closed, and I wns going to
pound It out for mysolf today, so I
sent for n typewriter. But I guess thoy
had too many orders before mine. Well
If there's no hopo for bent I'll havo to
burn oil."

Tho fnct that fato had some deep
acsign in cliooslng to havo Victor
rnigo nun Freda Tllson tako apart
ments .In tho samo houso. reallv micht
have been suspected when, a quarter
oi an nour later, another accidental
meeting occurred. It wa ht th cor
ner grocery. Freda camo hurrylr-g ln
with the biuso of nn old stove, ior sclK
ronsclbusncss nt having to cafrv tM
awkward burden only hiaklng 'her
checks pinker nnd her eyes rimnd'er. ,
"Please All this with oil.' slie told
the grocer's boy, nnd tho'n blushed u
little rosier ns she realized thnt Victor
Paige wns standing nt her elbbw. , no
took his hat ofT, and then, when Freda
averted her look he awkwardly waved
his hat fit, 111 e air and stroked tho cat
with the 'brim of it to tr,y to convluce
himself thnt he had meant to tnko it,
on unywny, una that he wis not a bit
embarrassed by' Freda's hauteur.
"We ain't got no oil nil sold out,"
enmo from the grocer's boy, Just tiH
Victor Pnlgo was Inquiring of the
grocer himself whether it happened
that oil stoves were a part of his
equipment. In the grocery store bnck
In his Now England home town he re
called thnt such trifling articles wcro
always sold. And as the giocer as
sured him that the only places to get
such things were tho household fur
nishing stores, nnd they were all
closed because It was coallcss Mon
day, ho confided to him. He knew the
grocer didn't care, nnd he didn't enre
whether ho did care, but he spoko ln
a loud, clear voice. Could It have been
that it .was for Freda's benefit?
"You see, the woman that keeps
houso for mo suggested that It I
bought some oil I could mnnago to
keep warm,' even when the steam was
not up in the npnrtmcnt, nnd I wns
such an ass as to forget that ono
renlly needed something to burn it ln.
I have a gallon of oil, but what good
does thnt do?"
Freda did listen, nnd for just ono
moment sho wns tempted to tell her
neighbor thnt between tlie two they
might manage to get some sort of
result. But sho didn't tell him. Sho
hurried home, walking faster nnd
fnster ns sho henrd his footsteps be
hind her. He overtook her Just ns she
reached the landing oft which both
their apartments opened, and would
hnvo spoken to her only that she
closed tho door rather unceremonious?
ly in his face. She knew she had been
rude, but for some unaccountable, irea
sons she took satisfaction ln her hearlt
lessness. .
A half hour later, when Victor Pnlgo
answered n slight ring nt his doorbell,
he wore a skating cap, a bathrobe, an
overcoat, hockey stockings and gal
loshes. ne found Freda Tllson on tho
landing. Sho wns very sorry to dis
turb him, she told him, but she bad
received word from the editor In tho
ofllco where she. worked that, because
he had been unable to dispatch somo
copy for her to do nt home, ho would
Hko her to put In the day taking dic
tation on the typewriter from Mr.
Paige. Wasn't It funny thnt.Mr. Paige
happened to bo connected " with the
same office? Did he wish to como Into
her npnrtmcnt, or should she come
Into his? There was smnll choice;
both were nrctlc.
Ten minutes Inter Victor Pnlge, carry
ing an odoriferous gallon of kerosene,
some Ill-kempt notes on stray bits of
paper, nnd n dish of npples Victor
could not write without npples for re
freshment went Into Freda's small
apartment When lunch tlmo came
Freda had 'forgotten her resentment,
nnd Victor, truth to tell, was as much
In love with her ns be hnd ever been
with nny girl.
"If I had somo eggs I'd make an
omelet and ask you to lunch," she said,
Just a little timidly.
And although Victor knew thnt his"
Dinah was coming to make lunch ln
his apartment thnt day, he hurried to
get some eggs that he was right In
guessing she had left In his ICo box.
And so they lunched, and so they
worked on through the afternoon.
"What's the use of resisting tho In
evitable," be said ns she handed him
the last pago of his manuscript from
her typewriter. "We can't cither of
us get along without the other. Wo
would both hnvo been miserable today
alone "
"It does seem strange. Do you be
lieve ln fate?"
And apparently. Victor did, for ho
wns always sure It wasfiUe that threw
him and his wlfo together that coal
