It tw near tho dote of a hot, sultry,

with their several duties, now and then

A gentle Up upon the little wicket

the office, a young man of perhaps
twenty-two years, dressed in a well

of clothes, evidently "off the pile" a; ;

who had stepped to the counter to as-'

the general ticket agent, leaving his
desk and advancing toward the visitor.
"What can I do for you to-day ?"
"lam looking for work, sir, and
wish to apply for a situation in your
office, if such can be obtained."
. "Oht Very sorry to say we are all
run,- replied the official kindly. "Hope
you may be successful elsewhere, but
really, we can do nothing for you."
with a polite "Thank you, sir," the
applicant disappeared, and work was
resumed, only to be interrupted again
by the same voice speaking in another
part of the room.
- "Can I see tlie gentleman in charger
There was an eiplos on of laughter
from the clerks as they divined the
situation.
uuromce is a long one, running
nearly the whole length of the build

The Marriageable Age,
Swedish youths aged 21 may take as
life partners maidens of 15, and in the
Netherlands they must be 18 and 18 re
spectively.
According to the Roumanian laws
the ages are 18 for males and 15 for fe
males, but a guardian looks after the
affairs of the husband until he has
reached his 21st year.
At the age of fifteen the girls of Bel
gium may take unto themselves hus
bands, while those of the opposite sex
trangress the law if they marry prior
to reaching their 18th year.
Lapland's marriage code makes men
tion only of the age limit for the mas
culine gender, which must be 17, while
in Xorway and Turkey there is no fixed
period for either sex.
Danish males and females must be.
respectively, 20 and 17 before they can
become man and wife, while in France
the minimum age for the former is 1H
and 14 for the latter.
In Spain, Portugal and Greece, the
limits are the same 14 and 12-and in
Switzerland cantonal laws are such
that the ages vary from 14 to 20 for
males and 12 to 18 for the gentler sex.
In Arabia, British India, Persia
Siam and Burmah, girls are allowed to
wed at the age of 10 or even 9 years,
and in many instances their husbaud-I
are not many months older.
England's laws provide that no fe
male can marry who has notnasswi the
age of 12 pears, and the male must. 1.
at least 14. . Marriages in that country
are governed by many restrictions h,n

One would naturally imagine that in
Italy where males develop verv ranidis
the legal marriageable age would be
much earlier than in colder clim.
Nevertheless it is above the n.nai
standard in that respect, being 18 for
men and 16 for women.
State laws regulate marriage in tho
United States, and nearly all of them
require the consent of the parents when
the man is less than 21 and the woman

times but knowing that she did not
dislike him, and believing shat "every

was waiting, and iu the meantime
wooing to the best of his ability.
The second morning Gladys arose
with a severe headache. She snubbed
poor Jack, who was all sympathy; re
fused the cup of tea he brought her
when they changed cars at Ogden, and
when the journey began again, lay
back on the pillows he fixed in the seat
for her, and would have nothing to say
to him.
lloiv Jack longed to take the golden
brown head in his arms and stroke the
throbbing temples. Toward evening,
when the rest of the passengers were
out to dinner he asked her with a pas
sionate tremor in his voice to give him
the right to do so.
She was trying to swallow tlie tea he
had again brought in to her. Pushing
it away, she said angrily:
"Jack, you bother me to death. Don't
ever mention that subject to me again,
for 1 will not marry you. Go away,
and don't sjieak to me at all." Then
her head drooied w earily back on the
pillow.
Jack paled, took the half emptied
cup, and walked silently out of the car.
That was the last she saw of him that

In the night with the headache gone.
Her first thought was of Jack, and her
eyes opened w ide with shame as she
remembered her rudeness to the man
who had always been so kind to her.
She recalled the pained set look as he
had turned away the evening before,
and resolved to ask his pardon the first
thing in the morning, when of course
he would forgive her and they would
be good friends again.
Morning found Gladys herself nga'n,
sweet and pretty as ever; but no Jack
to be seen.
After a lonely little breakfast by her
self, she settled down comfortably
with a book to read and wait for him
to come and muke up.
