I'll keep We, and III work We, and the
girl and nell watch that you don't
thieve us. Seer"
When she got to the boarding house
that night, late, hungry, tired, she
was ushered into the dim parlor, and
there she saw manly figure standing
very stiff and quiet. She knew 1t well
She had more than once stamped her
foot at this same manly figure and
said, mo! No! MOI" to its soft and
gentle pleading Now she stood silent
before him The mans eyes were
stern and his lips were drawn into
straight, hard line. He said:
aGo to your room. You will please
20 TO your room and wash your face.
Pour the water from the bowl and
do not throw the towel on the floor.
Put another hat on. Get wrap. Do
not forget a clean handkerchief. Be
sure to lock your trunk. Be back here
within ten minutes"
Meekly she obeyed In the big ho-
tel dining room the severe-looking
man opposite her ordered dinner with
ont word of consultation. He or.
dered as for a child. and very humbly
she ate what he served to her Then
he called a cab and they drove to the
theater. After the play he led the
way to a supper ROOM He made light
conversation, and now and then
smiled. but he ordered things with
out parley. She wondered whether
she might mention that lobster always
made her very i'll; but she did not
tell him.
1t was very late when he left her
| inside the hall of her boarding house
He turned and looked back at her
i She seemed very small and wan, and
he came back and put his hands or
her shoulders, and when she looked
up he was smiling. put he tried te
| frown.

musingly "That is what your letter

/ right. That can be arranged. All yoI
| have to do is to say Yes at the RICH
place in the service; I'll tell yot
when. You shall never have to thinl
again"
She was very tired and very sleepy
She chung to him ANONYMOUSLY Will,
she said; "Ill do anything yol
s-s-say. Th-th-thank you. But don
ever ask me If I'm honest--and don
b-b-bully me, and | can't b-b-bear I,

Skeptical Friends.

There is a friend of mine in New
York city to whom | have talked my
plans for dozen years, and he is
unable to see what am trying to do,
or how | can do what tell him | want
to do. | may meet a stranger this
afternoon who will see through my
system of research, and in FIVE min
utes become an enthusiastic supporter
of it. When our friends are blind 10
our plans and predict failure, there is
an irritation about it that is difficult
to endure, but the hardest thing to
endure is to have friend disappoint-
ed over your success, because the
friend has predicted failure. Some

HE GIRoL~
WHO WANTED
A MASTER

From her childhood the girl had felt
a vague longing to be controlled. Hers
was the woman heart that craved the
word of authority now and then; and
vet she had gone through some TWEEN
ty years In a world where all sorts
of words abound and had not met
thai kind. She knew just where the
trouble lay. She had been shielded
from it--unwisely, foolishly-by a
too tender family of male relatives.
She had been kept out of her right.
as 1t were. When she merited rebuke
she got only gentle remonstrance;
and when she needed to be led she
was followed instead, sometimes far
in folly.
But now that she had come to the
city to earn her living, she meant to
change that Her brother was away
from home on a business trip and
did not know her plans.
Fate and want ad led her to the
establishment of Mr.. Barney Blevins.
and a red-haired youth led her on into
Mr.. Blevin's own Office. 1t developed
that Mr.. Barney Blevins had increas-
ing outside interests and THAT he
wanted some one In his office as con.
fldential clerk. He thought she would
do.
And check up the cash registry -
he explained. And watch the Others
the cheats! Watch every one of them.
And hope you're honest" he shout
ed suddenly. Are ye honest, Ell? Wei.
about how honest, now-what's the
very lowest price for your honesty %
The week passed slowly by. The
girl watched the others and saw many
things, but fshe kept them to herself
somehow 1t seemed difficult to lay
them before Mr.. Barney Bleyins. The
cash game short every blessed night
and grins-q quiet, ghostlike grins-
yent the rounds when the confidential
Iclerk squared things each time out OF
fher little purse.
On Saturday Mr. Barney Blevins ar
rived early at the Office and called
his employees before him. It seemed
to be a weekly custom. He began al
the top of the line and went Impair
TALLY along telling them things in
vigorous language. You're a dirty
theft he roared to one. You think
| don't see things with my eyes. Hand
over that change you took from the
register. Give it to the girl there
she's the honestest one in the bunch
Quick for you" And to another:

An Art to lmpart.

A college man tells me about a won
derful entertainer who failed when he
tried to be a teacher. There is diff
ference between an exhibit of skill
which produces admiration or wonder
and a presentation of information in
a way to increase the knowledge and
ability of the nearer. The victor in
a contest may or may not be a good
trainer for others.

Abandon Abandonment.

Statesmen sometimes have ugly days
and do not care whether they sell
goods or not. In some cases they
seem to prefer to have their customer
see and not recognize a good thing.
Everybody is tempted to let their dis
position initiate the weather or enzr-
onment. Experience says to resist
ugliness and seek common sense
cheer.

A salesman on the road claims that
