The Old Captain Furnished His Guest
with Money to Pay His
Regular Bill.

The bronzed and blue-eyed "cap'n"
who takes summer visitors on long
and delightful sails in his pretty boat,
the Phoebe Lou, has never grown rich,
although his native town on 1.-The
Cape" is full of well-tO-do people for
nearly four months every year. A
newcomer to the place thinks he may
have found the key to the captains
moderate circumstanc says Youths
Companion.
One day this young man had invited
a party of a dozen to go as his guests
for an "all-day cruise" with the cap
tain. At the end of the excursion he
found that in the hurry of the early
start he had left his money at home.
"I'll be down tomorrow the first
thing, to pay you, captain" he said,
regretfulIy, land I'm sorry l was so
careless as to come off without my
money to-day"
"See here" said the captain, grave
ly rendering the young man a bulging
wallet which he extracted from an in
side pocket, "if you'd feel any easier to
settle your bill tonight | can lend We
the money well as not, and you can
give it back whenever it's convenient,
or let her run over till another spring
its pretty near the end Of the season,
anyway. | know how you feel about
regular bill. / always want to get 'em
paid up soon as they're due"

THE MILkWOMAN.

she was tall and strong. and she walked
along
With a firm, substantial tread,
Like one who knows that wherever she
goes
She is earning her daily bread.
Yet she Is aware that her face is fair;
But she also understands
That the best of her charms are her stout
red arms
TITS them" says she, "as has work'd for
me,
Wherever my work has been;
And as for my face, why, it's no disgrace.
For l reckon it's always clean.
''Well, there's Jack, know, he bothers me
But what do I care for him?
I'll ha' nothing to say to a lad that's gay,
So long as I've life and limb!
"Such chaps may do for a wench like you,
As Is fond of an easy life;
But If get a man, shall do what can
For to make him a working wife,
Then she went on her beat through the
bustling street
With a step like martial mans;
A step that suits her iron-shod boots
And the weight of her clanking cans.
There were many who eyed her stately
stride
AS she moved through the yielding crowd,
With her hands on her hips and a smile on
her lips,
And a look both calm and proud.
They could not see what was clear to me
That the lottest lady there
Might envy the part in Dame Natures heart
Which is owned by Kitty Clare.

ity. We have been wanting to put
trained worker in charge of the mis-
sion, and this good deed of yours
makes it possible"
''It is a Kindness to us to be al
lowed to help, I'm sure" murmured
the little lady. "You will let me
know when more is needed? Promise
me that, doctor"
81 shouldn't be good Methodist if
didn't" laughed the doctor Then
he remembered the housewarming,
and was moved to make amends for
the regrets. I'm sorry we couldn't
be neighborly the other evening, but
my sister is very frail, and Charlotte
doesn't go out much. But they will
call before they go south for the win
ter"
But for some reason the doctors vi
carious promise was not kept, and
the Farnhams held aloof, notwith-
standing Margery's praiseworthy ac-
tivity in st. Johns; and the Oswalds
relinquished the public library
project when it became noised about
that Jasper Grierson and his daugh-
ter were moving in it. Margery pos
sessed her soul in patience, and was
placably persistent; but when the
winter wore away and spring came
and found the conservative opposi-
tion increasing rather than diminish
ing, she grew vindictive, as who
would not.
"They think I'm iay!" she said
to herself one day, when the Ray
mers, mother and daughter, had ap-
parently taken pains to avoid her at
the counters in Thornwalden's.
"They need a lesson, and they're in
fair way to get it. I'm not going
to sing small all the time!"
The next afternoon she met Ray
mer as he was coming out of the
First national bank. They were
fairly good friends by this time, and
the young man stopped willingly
enough to exchange commonplaces
with the presidents daughter. In
the midst of them she astonished
him.
"Mr. Raymer, please tell me what
| have done to offend your mother
and sister," she said, abruptly; and
half of the deferred payment of tri-
umph was discharged on the spot by
Raymer's blundering attempts at dis
avowal.
"Why, Miss Margery! 7 don't
know-that is-er-you really must
be mistaken"
I'm not, and I'd like to know"
she persisted, looking him hardly
in the eyes. 81 am sure it must be
something 1 have been doing, and
if | can find out what it is I'll re-
form"
Raymer got away as quickly as he
could; and when the opportunity Of
fered was besotted enough to repeat
the question to his mother and Ger
trude.

CHAPTER XIV.

In the day of its beginnings, Wa
haska was a trading post on the In
dian frontier. Later it became the
market town of wheat growing re-
gion, and it was of the wheat grow
ing era that Jasper Grierson was a
product. lie was a young man when
he went overland to Colorado in the
wake of the Pixies Peak excitement,
and his townsmen saw him no more
till he returned in the vigorous prime
of age, wealthy, and the father of a
daughter who presently began to re-
construct the social fabric of Wa
haska upon model of her own de-
vising.
In this charitable undertaking JAS
per Grerson abetted his daughter as
the magnate of small town may.
He built mansion at the lake-edge
and called it Mereside; and when it
was done gave a house-warming to
which the biddings were in a certain
sense mandatory, since by that time
he had fiduciary finger in nearly
every Industrial pie in Wahaska.
After the warming, Margery
Griersons leadership was tacitly ac-
knowledged, though the women still
discussed her with more or less
frankness in the sewing circles.
Crystallized into accusation, there
was little to be said against her, save
that she was pretty and rich, and
that her leaning toward modernity
was sometimes a trihe startling. But
the charitable seamstrcsses made the
most of these drawbacks, edging
them now and then with curious
speculations about Margery's mother,
whom neither Jasper Grierson nor
his daughter ever mentioned.
None the less, the big house by the
lake continued to set the social pace.
Afternoon teas began to supersede
the sewing circles; not a few of the
farmers wives attained to the for
NAL dignity of visiting cards with
Wednesdays" or "Thursdays" print
ed in neat script in the lower left
hand corner; and in some of the less
conservative households the principal
meal of the day drifted from it's
noontime anchorage to unwonted
moorings among the evening hours.
For these innovations Miss Grier-
son was responsible. She had ambi-
tions, but she was wise enough to
make the most of present opportuni-
ties. 1t was better to be leader in
Wahaska than to be an humble fol-

lower in a great city; but she admit
ted this without prejudice to a fixed
determination to revolve in the larger
orbit when the time should come.
She was content to wait, but she
aimed high. Unquestioned social rec
ognItion, won or compelled; that and
nothing else would atone for the OBJ
trusively unloyely past tholed in pri-
vation and squalor in the Colorado
mining camps. Miss Grierson was
barely %, but she had lived much.
But there were obstacles to be sur
mounted even in Wahaska. From the
first there was a perverse minority
which refused to bow the head in the
house of Rimmon. The Farnhams
were of it, and the Raymers, with
following of a few of the families
called old, as age is reckoned in the
newer west. They were loath to adj
NIT the omnipotence of Jasper Grier-
sons wealth, and at the housewarm-
ing the" had been represented by va
riously worded regrets. Miss Margery
laughed defantly and set her white
teeth on "A dauntless resolution to
reduce this inner citadel of conserva-
tism. Accordingly she opened the
campaign the next morning ut the
breakfast table.
"Poppa, who is the treasurer of St.
John's?" she asked.
The magnate did not know, and
said so.
But you ought to know" said Mar
gerry, with conviction. Isn't it Mr.
Raymcr?"
"Why, yes; he is the man, come to
think, What do you want Of him?"
Nothing of him. / want check

Jasper Gricrson laughed "Going in

he said, but wrote the check on the
spot.
