PRIVATE SECRETARY
BY ROBERT CROMIE.

CODVFiSnI, 1880, DV bdCuel1er, JOQuSOu
& Bachelor.
Mr. Henry Markham. NJ. P. had ac-
cepted an invitation from his political
friend, Sir George Howard, to his coun-
try house. AS the visit was more polit-
zeal than private, Mr.. Markham brought
his private and political secretary, John
Warrington, with him. An important
measure was before the house, and a
division was expected to take place I'M
mediately. Sir George represented
land, Mr.. Markham capital; and War
u'ington knew more about both than
either Besides, Mr.. Markham was
vicariously engaged on a work dealing
in bimetallism. Warrington had ideas
on the subject, and Mr.. Markham be-
lieyed in these so far that he had de-
cided to put his own name to them.
Warrington" he explained to Sir
George, lis a deuced clever fellow. lie

not do them better myself"

ignorant, ill-bred and arrogant. The
secretary was a man of undoubted
natural gifts-he was highly educated
and had 4 fine literary style-but he
was lacking in the sayoir vivre that
makes civilization worth while A
strong character, he wanted that pre-
else mental adjustment necessary TO

He arose and preceded her to the door
as confidently rs if the house were his
own. And he bowed her out with Dig
nitied courtesy which he could not have
copied If a thousand dancing masters
had posed for him. His grievance lent
him grace. He returned her salutation
with studied politeness. They did not
meet again for several days.

Markham was delighted with the tone

when she heard of this: though the sig
nature really meant much, including Il
publisher. She blamed Mr.. Markham
more or less: but Warrington's conduct
was ineXcusa bic. He had no spirit she
told him. He replied that it was i'm
possibly for her to see the matter from
his point of view, that of a man who
had TO work for a living, and that she
could not grasp the complex influences
at work in such d mean scheme of ex-
Istence She left him with unaffected
