pies in cheek and chin seemed 10
at such a ridiculous idea. Here's an
other"
"Wanted-Ayoung lady stenographer,
Must understand the use Of caIigraph or
type writer.
She shook her head at this and set the
loose, fluffy curls a dancing.
Il Unjust be dreadfully behind the age,
for [ haven't the slightest acquaintance
with either Of these instruments. And
foolish old Madame Beaudry called me
"fecnished."
"Wanted-A young energetic bust
ness woman with $500 to invest III a
profitable enterprise.
No, thank you. If [ had $500 does
any one suppose I'd be away form Elsie
a moment?
At the next al. her eyes blazed, a
scornful smile curved her lips, and She
almost wished herself the PLANES OF
her sex as she read
"Wanted-A young lady Of attractive
personal appearance to do copying IN a
gentleman's office" She threw the
paper into the tre place with a vehe-
mence that seemed as if she would have
liked to consign the advertisers to the
same receptacle.
"IIl speak to Mrs. Allen about it,
she knows 50 many people. Thank
heaven, | have no prestige to
lose, and nobody would know in
what way / occupied myself in
summer All, Elsie, dear, awake al
ready ?" t%urnint 18th loving smiles to
the little eight-yaar-Old copy in NINA
ture of herself who came with painful
slowness into her arms. Here's your
old slow coach of a sister doing nothing,
when she ought to be preparing your
supper. Bat never mind dear, taking
the child's face between her rosy palms,
Il have news for you better than a tray
full of the incest things in the world.
Now, wish for something splendid, the
thing YOU want most"
The thing [ want most. Maidee,'
said the little one with a pathetic smile
into the face that had never worn for
her bus its brightest guise, lis to get
we'll"
oh you little witch, to ask for the
very thing you're going to have said
Marian, hugging her and speaking rap
idly to hide the trembling in her voice.
You'll GO among the kindest and best
people YOU ever saw there will be many
other sweet and lovely children getting
we'll, too, and write such long letters.
Tomorrow / won't have any Lesson to
give and we'll ride out to buy a darling
little trunk and everything nice to put
into it. There, now, sit in this chair
and think it over while I get supper for
my birdie
"Maidee," said the child, as her sister
was about to leave the room, that Mr..
Wallace was so kind to me to-day. He
gave me a ride around the porch on
Minnie Aliens cart, and put some
peaches in my hat when l left it in the
hall. | saved one for you, there on the
mantle"
"That was kind. Thank you, pet.
As she went down so the dining room
she laughed softly to herself; They're
all bound to make me like this Mr..
Wallace. First Mrs. Allen sings his
praise, now Elsie has gone over to the
enemy with such rapidity it quite takes
my breath away. He seemed to me
very unapproachable, but 1 have seen
HIM so seldom, and that may account"
James Wallace was Mrs. Aliens re-
Gently discovered relative. She had a
personal mania for tracing kInship the
ties of blood, be they never so weak,
were very sacred to her, and nothing
pleased her more than to stumble upon
some fifth or sixth cousin hitherto IN
aware of her existence and take him
into the benevolent circle of her
friendship. Some chance business deal
ings led Mr.. Wallace in her direction
and somehow IT came about that he left
his lodgings and took up his abode UNI
der the hospitable roof that sheltered
Marian. There was no question of Mrs.
Aliens delight at this arrangement.
1T is so good to have a man in the
house again, my DEAR" she confded to
Marian. And poor, dear David would
have approved, I'm sure. The "boys
are well enough" she boarded gratis
her three nephews who attended at an
academy near by but they are only
boys, after all, not men, and of no earth
~ use in emergency. But just to look
at james around the house ought to
give us poor defenceless women a
feeling of security. Marian resented
this remark somewhat, being an indie
pendent lassie and never having
found al yet the presence of the
other sex necessary to her COM
fort or happiness. But when she
reached the ~dining-room and found
him there she felt in duty bound to
scrutinize him more thoughtfully, for
Elsie's sake. He was helping Mrs. Al
len to decide between the merits of two
designs for a new monument to mark
the last resting place of her family.
He nodded to her oven the paper and
Mrs. Allen hustled around to assist
Marian In making a picture" of the
tray. HE has kind eyes, she thought.
