81 should think" said Carry, after
second interval of reflection, 'that fif-
teen yards might answer if it was econ
omcaliy cut"
81 don't know anything about econ
omy," " said the young man; 81 want a
good allowance"
Then should recommend eighteen
yards" advised Garry.
"Cut me off eighteen yards" advised
the young gentleman, promptly; "and
put in the Innings and trimmings and all
that sort of thing, please-you'll know
what need better than l do myself.
And | say"
"SirP" said Carry, as he hesitated.
"Have you anything that would make
a nice present for an old gentleman, do
you think"
"a silk neck mufllerp" suggested
Carry, her eyes running across the
shelves of the store, ''or a pair of fur
lined glovesP"
"Capitaln' said the customer. "Put
'em both into the parcel"
THANK you, sir!' said Carry. "Where
shall we send themP'
Nowhere" answered the custo ncr

take I'm thousand times obliged to
you miss"
"Not in the least" said Carry, with
dignity.
$50 the dark eyed stranger with the
fur trimmed coat departed, and Mrs.
Pickrell praised the young shop girl for
the good sale she had made.
You'll be valuable hand in time,'
said she. at isn't often we get
chance to sell a silk pattern like that.
Folks mostly 90 on Broadway for their
expensive dresses" she added, with a
sigh.
Carry was very tired when she came
home in the frosty October dusk. The
store did not close until 10, but the girls
took turns, two by two, to stay after
sunset, and Carry's turn fortunately did
not come until the next night
When she reached home Uncle VOL
sey had the lamp lighted and the kettle
boiling for tea, and was slicing off
some canned corned beef and ''mind-
ing the toast before the fire at the same
time.
1t looked CHEEKY and pleasant; Carry
drew long sigh of relief.
How nice it is to be at home, Uncle,
Wolseyr' she cried "Do let me make
that toast And, C'! it hasn't been
such a veyy hGc day, after all. And
Mrs Pickrell says I've made the best
sale she has had for a week. Such a
handsome young man, Uncle VOL
seyl and he treated me Us if were
a princess instead of working girl,

"Stop, stop!" said Uncle Wolsey paus-
ing, with the knife still in his hand
'Tve had a good looking young man

got monopoly of the article. What dc

from the seal-fur fisheries in Alaska!
And what do you think of his coming tC
spend the evening, by-and-byP And what
do you think of his bringing these things

ehP"
Uncle Wolsey laid down the knife
and carefully dusting his hands on th'
roller-towel, drew forth from the bureau
drawer seal-brown silk dress pat
tern, and pair of fur-lned gloves
wrapped around with spotted silk neck
mufller.
"Why, Uncle Wolsey-' almost shrek

Its the very MANI said Carry. "
