Mir. Morris nodded assent. There was
no need this time for his daughter to
warn him not to speak, for he couldn't
lave said a word had he tried.
"All right, papa" answered Marcia.
"l'll begin tomorrow, and oh, how do
hope | shall succeed! | might go ont as
a child-nursc or houseworlt girl, but |
couldn't earn much, and don't want to
goaway from home. Iwant to earn Just
as much money as boy would. and stay
at home, too. And, you see, If can
work up in this, Gertie can help me after
awhile"
Mamma came in just then, and was in
formed that papa was much better, for
he had been receiving treatment from
an excellent mnd-cure physician, whose
services he wouldn't exchange for a
dozen Mr.. Wilson's.
Marcia went at her new work ener-
getically, just as she did everything
else. She found many disagreeable
things about it, and met many impolitc
people, and experienced not few dis
couragements, but she would not give
up ult BIG hislIlN III tuII-
ing very good living for her family.
Every forenoon is spent in taking or
ders for groceries; every afternoon in
delivering them, She is prompt, bust
nesslike and pleasant, and is welcomed
in many homes where n man would not
be tolerated. As fast as she got regular
customers whose patronage she was
sure of, she put them on her list to be
visited on certain days of the week.
and gradually Gertie was brought to
be of use in taking their orders. while
Marcia went into new quarters to
drum up new trade" as she delighted
in calling it.
Mr.. Morris Is not able to work, and
never will lie again, but their pretty
little home has not been mortcaged
as the neghbors said 1t would have to
be; the horse and buggy have not been
sold, the family is not in debt, nor do
they depend on their neghbors for help
end everyone is obliged to confess that
they get along quite as well as they
could have done had Marcia been u boy

can't think of anything else but jus,
you. But I'm more heartless, thank for
tune! ! specliated on what you were
thinking about, and was sure it was
money. You've been worrying about
how we were going to live, haven't you?
| Wink your eyes fast, this way, if I've
| guessed right. There, knew it all the
time, Are you tired? just shake you
| head, but don't speak. Oh, papa, don't
laugh! don't, for anything! for that
will excite you, ana then I'll gel,
scolded. and they won't let me see you
again!"
You're most too careful" said the
sick man. 81 have been allowed to talk
little all along, and l guess it won't
nurt me to say yes and no now"
''Oh, won't it?" I'm awfully glad, for
it was almost too much for my gravity
to SEQ you lying there, blinking ike n
sleepy owl. But l know you mustn't
talk much, or the doctor wouldn't have
laid such fearful commands on me-
Well, what l wanted to say is this: /
believe I've thought of something | con
do to help support the family. I'm 60
ing to be travelling salesman for gro
Gerry store"
Mr.. Morris looked at his daughter in
omazement and opened his mouth to
echo her last remarkable statement, but
q plump hand instantly covered ii and a
merry laugh sounded in his ear.
"Oh, papa, don't speak. please don't!
l suspect | have spoiled everything by
giggling out in that way, but you dit
look so funny! Actually, papa, you did
look too Mortified for anything. Do you
suppose anyone heard me laughing?
hope not, for | haven't got half through
with you yet. Now he patient, and I'll
explain. was thinking how easily Mr.
Bailey made living. You know he is
travelling salesman for a grocery store;
and / came pretty near wishing that
was boy so that l could go and do
likewise. Guess | should have wished
it, if l hadn't been taken with the idea
that l could do it anyway; so l called
en- Mr.. Allen at once-your look of hor-
ror grows more intense, but don't you
dare utter a syllable-and laid the plan
before him with many misgivings, much
trembling, and few tears on my stub
by eyelashes. Honestly, papa, l was
pretty nearly frightened to death; but
Mr.. Allen says he will give me ten per
cent. commission on all the groceries
l can sell, and am to deliver everything
but flour and heavy things of that sort
l thought if could make Dobbin use
full, then we shouldn't be obliged to
sell him, and you will need him when
you are able to ride out. There's a
great many people in this city, and it
seems as if l could persuade a few of
them to buy their groceries of me,
doesn't it? What do you think OF the
plan? Are YOU willing should try?"

trouble. In an open space two bull ele-
plants were fighting. One of them was
leader of the herd, the other an old
warrior bull tramp who had lost tusl
at is the rogue Ilunga,' whispered
Keema, and he will kill the other
beauty-no use to try to stop him.
THE hunters watched for chance
TO fire as the brutes drew back little
and sprang together with lowered heads
and big ears outspread, the skulls com
ing together with stunning force. On
recovering they came together again,
rising on their hind legs and striking
down with their tusks us with a sword,
shrielling with rage, and using their
trunks like whip lashes. The men
came from the tree and drew near to
the fight through the bushes.
"'Shoot the leader said Kcema. 1T
is no use to try for the other
"Then it dawned on Robard that the
savage deemed the wanderer an evil
spirit not to be tried for, since it pos
sessed magic powers. The man came
into sight of the leader of the herd be-
hind Ilunga, as the native called HIM,
and the beast drew back startled at the
sight of a deadlier enemy than the wan
dering bull. The shrinking of the lead
er gave the tramp chance, and like a
fencer he gave a sharp thrust with his
tusk. The leader staggered, but shot
behind Ilunga's ear killed the other ele-
phant, The leader rushed forward as
If to attack Robard, who had fired, but
Keema was just behind the elephant,
and with keen, heavy knife ham
strung the beast with single blow, dis
abling it, A bullet above the eye fin
ished the creature"
