Meta Raynes was @ typewriter girl,
n lived at the top OF an old fashioned
building in a central part of London.
Perhaps it was a lonely life for a girl,
put Meta had grown accustomed to
being by herself, and, being of a sweet
lind compensation even in her hard
working existence.
h loved her big "garret," as she
called 1t. and indeed 1t was. She had
made 1t cozy and homelike with a cur
tain across 1t to screen away the bed
o side. and with cheap rugs. a few
tur some books and a comfortable
chair or two had really managed to
make for herself a charming den.
II she loVed the inside of her room,
she owe ever more the outlook from
Its window. Standing there she could
see for miles across the roofs and tow
ers of London; she could look Town into
and she could gaze upon a tall church
tower that rose ~heavenward opposite
her window, and h had learned to
have quite a friendly feeling for a
gargoyle with a ferocious dogs head
that jutted out in her direction.
But her Sundays were the last and
greatest compensation of her otherwise
lonely life. for on Sundays she could
meet Jack Melville-Jack, her hand
some young lover-who was working so
hard to make a home for them both!
On a heavenly Sunday in May they
We're stroll1ng across q deserted corner
of Richmond Park, enjoying the lowell
ness around them. when Jack exclaimed
suddenly:
Meta. l believe those two Founders
whom l call by courtesy my chiefs,
nave q regular down on me. Just
lately they have done their very best
to provoke and irritate me in every pos
stble way
Meta started violently. and Jack, who
held her hand. felt the movement, and
looked around at her.
Jack" she said. "if you will promise
ME to do nothing rash l will tell you
why they are down on you
Jack Melville eagerly promised.
We'll. you know, Jack, that your two

you"
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1906-03-09

A week later Meta stood on the door
otep of Daubney's house, a parcel of
typewrtttng in her hand. Most gladly
would h have refused to do more
work Tor h two brothers who had
prosecuted her, but such a refusal
would have been suicidal for her. WORK
was Infinitely precious, and to offend
the two brothers. Joint heads of an Inn
portant firm, would have beer mad
ness.
Still IT was with white face and fast
beating heart that Meta waited on the
doorstep on that sunny May morning.
1t seemed to her an interminable time
before h door was opened. and when
It swunk back at last. Meta recoiled
before the changed and CHASTITY express
sion on h buffers face.
1t was the color of ashes; and he was
shaking in every limb.
Is something wrong?' the girl asked
abruptly.

as has been murdered-murdered in the
office this morning by one OF his own
clerks"
"Murdered!" Meta's voice was high
and thin. 1t no longer seemed to be her
own. Who did 1t? Why did they kill
him? Tell me quickly" and hardly
knowing what she did, she ripped the
buffers arm and shook 1t.
They do say 1T was all to do with a

some of his equanamity in the pleasure

An arm suddenly thrust the butler

Is one OF the most interesting institu-

sorry when any detail of his views
seems to lack validity. The papers
reported that on February 4 he talked
about temptation, using Joseph as an
example of successful resistance to It.
He counseled his hearers to avoid
temptation. One paper quotes him as
saving: For my part, l believe that
that beset US are enough" So they
are: enough and aplenty. But did he
quote. with sympathy, as another pa
per reports, the confession Of a fallen
youth who said his downward career
began when he drank his first glass Of
beer?" We should class glasses OF beer
among the ordinary everyday temp
tations that beset US. and which are
rather to be deal with with discretion
than fearsomely stunned. A lad
whose first glass of beer sends him
sliding towards Gehenna isn't sound

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-11-17

When they reached the Fairchild house she found a caller on the porch. The minister was there, an elderly and benevolent man who had fulfilled his duty to humanity by giving six daugh- ters in marriage at tender ages. To him Elizabeth's state of single bless 3edness had long been source of per pleXity; therefore. when he saw her approach with a stranger, evidently a gentleman of proper age and dignity. his face shone with that peculiar in- dulgent. reminiscent expression with which age greets lovers.
 Elizabeth recognized the look and swept up the steps and into the hall without pausing. With more haste than ease she dispatched Callahan to his room on the second floor, then turned and faced the minister. who had arisen and followed her. his little clerical joke all ready

 Elizabeth made no reply as she de- parted to light up her studio, but her lips were pressed together. a red spot dyeing each cheek, and when Calla- man entered the room few moments later lie was confronted by formid- able array of designs and by a woman bent on discussing business and busi- ness only.

 Stubbornly, but unnecessarily, he re- belled.

His mind and the evening light, but his scarlet lip ped hostess, moving amid her work tall and straight, charming and inex- orable, firmly interrupted-did he care for a continuous or broken design around the platter?
 The task was not an easy one that Elizabeth had set for herself, and 1t was a weary head that she laid on her pillow that night. q hope 1t rains to- morrow" was her last thought. "so that may keep him in the studio and out of the reach of remarks" But fortune seemed at odds with her, for, the morning dawned faultlessly clear.
 After breakfast when she would have led the way to the studio, Calla- man ignored her lead. and with, What a glorious out of doors this place pos- sesses." stepped out on the side porch. With contraction of the heart Eliza beth followed and sat down facing the battery of Mrs. Bissell's green blinds. the slats of which were immediately moved gently to permit of recon noissance of Mrs. Bissell's eyes.
