"Gee!" repeated Mr.. Tipworthy.
When the editorial chamber had been
made so neat that it almost glowed,
though it could never be expected to
shine as did Fis bee and Caleb Parker
and ROSS Schofeld that morning, the
lady took her seat at the desk and
looked over the few items the gentle
men had already compiled for her Pc
rusal. Mr.. Parker explained many tech

printing room and enabled her to grasp

When Parker finished the three in

trusting terriers. She knit her brow

instant's indecision.

She turned to Parker.

claimed. II should never have thought

The editor blushed. ''Why, who
would, dear, if not woman or Spec
ulator, and I'm not Spectator, and
neither are you, and that's the reason
you didn't think of them. So, Mr..
Parker, as there is so much pressure,
and if you don't mind continuing to act
as reporter as well as compositor until
after tomorrow, and if it isn't too wet
you must have an umbrella-would it
be too much bother if you went around
10 all the shops-stOres, I mean-tO all
the grocers and the butchers and the
leather place we passed, the tannery,
and If there's one Of those places where
they bring cattle, would it be too much
to ask you to stop there-and at the
-four mill, if it isn't too far, and at the
dry goods store-and you must take a
blank book and sharpened pencil, and
will you price everything, please, and
jot down how much things are?'
Orders received, the impetuous Par
ker was departing on the instant when
she stopped him with little cry, "But
you haven't any umbrellav And she
forced her own, a slender wand, upon
him. 1t bore a cunningly wrought
handle, and it's fabric was of glisten-
ing silk. The foreman, unable to de-
cline 1t, thanked her awkwardly, and
as she turned to speak to Fisbee he
bolted out of the door and ran down
the steps without unfolding the UNI
brella, and then as he made for Mr..
Martins emporium he buttoned it Sc
curely under his long Prince Albert,
determined that not drop of water
should touch and ruin so delicate
thing. Thus he carried it, triumphant
~ dry, through the course of his re-
portings Of that day.
When he had gone the editor laid her
hand on Fisbee's arm. ''Dear," she said,
do you think you'd take cold if you
went over to the hotel and made a note
Of all the arrivals for the last week and
the departures too? noticed that Mr..
HAIRLESS always filed two or three
sticks, isn't it?-with them and things

nicely. You must ask the landlord all
about them, and if there aren't any, we
can take up the same amount of space
iamenting the dull times, just as he
used to. You see, I've read the Herald
faithfully. Isn't it good thing al

f1sbee's cheek with her soft hand and
laughed gayly into his mild, vague old
eyes. 1T won't be this scramble to I'LL
