well and richly, and her manner when
sitting before her machine W J that of a
grand woman Of society 10 conde-
scended to play occasionally d<ahe piano.
She had much the air of a imam who
was employing the men In the Office to
take care Of her millions AM make ont
her accounts. Mr.. Bulles always felt as
though he ought to ask erpermission
to smoke, and was almost a<raid to ask
her to take down any of his scorrespond-
ence. What work he dared 70 give her
she did as well as it could bo1done, 80 he
had nothing against her EXCEPT her pride.
He determined finally to break down her
pride. he had been uncomfortabiy i'm
pressed with her dignity; now she should
learn what it was to feel thaewsy toward
him.
So the next morning ne called her in,
and after debating few business letters
he said: ''Now, on the snlasler paper,
please. Are You ready? Let me see."
He unused as he bit carelessly at the top
OF his cigar and gazed out Of the win
dow:
Dear Jim," he began. "Thanks very
much, but it will be quita impossible.

my best love to Mrs. Blaine, and accept
my condolences at the loss of your house.

"The Hon. James G. Blaine, Washing
ton, D. c."
The typewriter girl took this down
with calm, unruffied countenance; her
severity of demeanor was absolutely un-
changed ''Is that allT' she asked.
Yes, said Bulles weakly-..yes. I be-
lieye that is all" He wa<faat, and called
her in again during the afternoon and |
dictated the following note:
''DRLMoNICo's: Will you reserve one
Of the largest private dining rooms for
me this evening and prepare supper for
100? find my rooms are too small, and
will have to have one of yours. Serve
the same supper as ordered and prepare
floor for dancing. You can go to any
length in the matter of decoration, but
keep the cost of tho flowers down to
81 900. Yours truly"
The other note was:
DEAR OLD MAN: l should be very
glad to accept, but Tuxedo never did
agree with my digestion. Certainly, you
can have all the horses you want. The
two leaders are in town. but I will have
them sent out to you. / think the price
you offer for the coach is reasonable,
and will let you have it for that, as /
am going to give up coaching and get O
yacht. Yours"
The third note was:
"DEAR MIR. BURGESS: The designs ar
rived yesterday and were beauties. !
am sure, if looks go for anything, that
she should beat anything afioat. hope
You are right in what You say about her
being better boat than the Mayfiower,
and / will certainly follow your sugges-
ton and enter her when completed for
the cup. Yours truly"
Mr.. Bulles said: THAT viii do. When
they are finished let me see them" He
thought he detected slight unbending
in the superior manner of the young
woman, but he was not too hopeful. IF
those don't impress her" he said, ''I'll
write letter Of regret to the queen to-
morrow, and one to Gladstone, telling
him I can't come over this summer to
spend August with him." When the
girl brought in the letters, finished and
ready for his signature, he tossed them
carelessly aside and said: 81 will sign
them later, and I'll post them myself" "
He signed them and slipped them in their
envelopes under his other papers, where
the clerks might not see them, and
planned more for the future. On the
day following he refused three invita-
tions to dine with distinguished people,
ordered an architect to call and see him
about building q country house at New
port, and wrote to order o diamond neck
lace.
The typewriter girl began to take a
little more interest, and said ''Yes, sir"
instead Of simply "Yes," which was
something. He felt that he was getting
on.
But on the fourth day she appeared
with even a colder and more naughty
air, and laid three letters down upon his
desk. She always opened his mail for
him. and divided the private notes from
the business letters. Here" she said,
"are three notes which did not know
whether to hand to You or TO the clerk"
Bulles glanced at the bottom OF one Of
them and read the name Charles Bur
CESS" The note ran:
HENRY BULLEs-Dear Sir: am in

refers to a yacht and an imaginary cor
