male child. AT the age OF ten he
is noisy kid, with half the buttons
off his pants, and an eye for mean

devil in print shop; at twenty-five
he is the publisher of country

prise calculated to improve the
town, or enrich the business there
of; at thirty-ive he is an emaciated
and worn-out man, with holes in
his pockets and a bald head; at the

behind are an old pair of shears and
a case of long primer type, NASH

It isn't so easy to discover what an Eng
lishman doesn't want you to know"
"Well," said the editor, ''perhaps
that's true. I will think about it. OF
course, you did your best, and appre-
ciate your efforts: but I am sorry you
failed"
''You ;tre not half SO sorry as am,"
said Rivers, as he picked up his big Can
adian fur coat and took his leave.
The editor did think about it. He
thought for full two minutes. Then he
dashed off 4 note on a sheet of paper,
pulled down the little knob that rang
the district messenger alarm, and when
the uniformed boy appeared gave him
the note, saying:
"Deliver this as quickly as you can"
The boy disappeared, and the result
Of his trip was soon apparent in the ar
rival of IL very natty young woman in
the editorial rooms. She was dressed
in neatly-ttting tailor-made costume,
and was very pretty girl, who Loo ked
about 10, but was, in reality, considera-
bly, older. She had large, appealing
blue eyes, with IL tender, trustful ex-
preston in them, which made the ordi-
nary man say: What a sweet, inno-
cent look that girl has," yet what the
young woman didn't know about New
York was not worth knowing. She
boasted that she could get state secrets
from dignified members of the cabinet,
and an ordinary senator or congress
man she looked upon as her lawful
prey. What had been told to her in the
strictest confidence had often become
the sensation Of the next day in the pa
per she represented. She wrote over a
nom de guerre, and had tried her hand
at nearly everything. She had answered
advertisements, exposed rogues and
swindlers and had gone to hotel as
chambermaid in order to write her ex-
periences. She had been arrested and
locked up so that she might write a
three-column account for the Sunday
edition of the Argus, of "How Women
Are Treated at Police Headquarters"
The editor looked upon her as one of
the most valuable members of his staff,
and she was paid accordingly.
She came into the room with the self
possessed air of the owner of the build
ing, took seat, after nodding to the
editor, and said: "Well?"
Look here, Jennie" began that aus
tere individual, edo you wish to make a
trip to Europe?"
"That depends" said Miss Jennie;
this is not just the time of year that
people go to Europe for pleasure, you
know
"NVell, this is not exactly pleasure
trip. The truth of the matter is, Rivers
has been on a job and has bungled it
fearfully, besides nearly getting him.

The young woman's eyes twinkled.
She liked anything with a spice of dan
ger in it, and did not object to hear that
she was expected to succeed where
mere masculine reporter had failed.
The editor continued:

England on the Coloric. It sails in a

either of those two men the particulars

was by a jaunty steamer cap, They
stepped out on the deck, and found it
not at all as dark as they expected. Lit
tie globes of electric light were placed
at regular intervals in the walls of the
deck building. Overhead was stretched
sort of canvas roof, against which thu
sleety rain pattered. One of the sailors,
with a rubber mop, was pushing into the
gutter by the side of the ship the mois-
ture from the deck. All around the
boat the night was as black as ink, eN-
cept here and there where the white
curl of wave showed luminous for a
moment in the darkness.
Miss Brewster insisted that Went
worth should light his cigar, which,
after some persuasion, he did. Then
he tucked her hand snugly under his
arm. and she adjusted her step to suit
his. They had the promenade all to
themselves. The rainy winter night
was not as inviting to most of the pas
low. Kenyon, however, and one or two
others came up, and sat down in the
steamer chairs that were tied to the
brass rod which ran along. the deck
house wall. He saw the glow of Vent
worth's cigar as the couple turned at
the further end of the walk, and as the
two passed him he heard a low murmur
of conversation. and now and then
caught snatch of silvery laughter.
1t was not because Wentworth had de-
serted him that Kenyon felt so uncom-
Portable and depressed. BE couldn't
tell just what it was, but there had set
tied on his mind strange, uneasy fore
boding. After a time he went down
into the saloon and tried to read, but
could not, and so wandered along the
seemingly endless narrow passage to his
room, which was Wentworth's as well,
and, in nautical phrase, turned in"
1t was late when his companion came in.
"Asleep, Kenyon?' he asked.
"No," was the answer.
"By George! John, she is one of the
most charming girls ever met Won,
derfully clever, too; makes a man feel
like a fool beside her. She has read
nearly everything. Has opinions On all
our uthors, great many Of whom I've
never heard of. wish, for your sake,
John, that she had sister on board"
Thanks, old man; awfully good of
you, I'm sure" said Kenyon. Don't
you think it's about time to stop raving
and get into Jour bunk, and turn out
that confounded light?" ss.-
"All right, srowler, WILL" was the
answer. @- -:.. s.-& II ... H.
Meanwhile, in her own stateroom,
Miss Jennie Brewster was looking at her
rejection III the glass. AS she shook out
her long, hair until it rippled down her
back, she smiled sweetly,s and said to,
herself:
