aboutx him he would not have come at all. There he Is now, my dear, in front of that window where the crowd Is. Stop for him.
 As the brougham stopped Alice Mellor caught sight of the man in the big show window before which the crowd was standing, and flushed deeply. Not so Miss Cushing Having focused her lorgnette on that gentleman, she sat for one paralyked second and then turned to her niece in dignantly.
 Well" she stormed. "I thought l had reached the limit when I saw Jack Mellor strutting around London between two signboards. But when it comes to Reggie Winthrop exhibiting himself in the win dow of a Fifth avenue store in his shirt sleeves, l think I am losing my mind. Why don't you say something Alce?"
 T can't Aunt Amelia. He was Bertle' s valet for one week, and did all kinds of awful things. He blacked his boots, and. oh can't think of itl Why''-Mss Mel Tor was half hysterical-"he even took Taro's place one evening and served dn- ner. And that silly Van Dyke fellow ln- suited him, and they came to blows"
 Don't" Miss Cushing fell back with q gasp. "The most eligible man In England Alice, and he blacked Bertie's boots What next? Tell Thomas to drive on.'
 When Jack Mellor took the Honorable Reginald Winthrop home to dinner that evening Miss Cushing. in the thoes of an elaborate toilet. was not yet down. For a while Winthrop waited alone in the draw ing room, then hearing the rustic of q gown In the hall he drew aside the heavy curtains as Alice Mellor came in. She held out her hand frankly, and after he had taken 1t he held it for a moment in his.
 q owe this small hand an apology, !" he said gravely. "Will 1t grant me for glveness?'
 q have been trying all afternoon to forget that terrible week. It's unmention- able; but after all you put me-us-in a false position. and I really think you deserved what you got"
 He was looking at her with that di- rect gaze that had embarrassed her fin Winthrop, the valet, and she glanced un- easily toward the door.
 That week was the happiest In my life, Miss Alice. G~took unfair advan- tage, l admit, but 1t seemed rather a lark at first. for 1t was Jacks crazy proposition that got me into such q pre- dcament Then when l should have gone l could not. To leave meant two months without seeing you. And then, after all, l had to disgrace myself"
 T should scarcely call 1t disgrace,'' she said half shyly. TT was really glad at the time that you had done it."
 He took couple of steps toward her.
 Do you mean 1t? You haven't hated me since for my boorishness?"
 "1 never hated you, Winthrop" She used the old name quite naturally and neither one noticed it.
 And do you think that some time l know I'm reckless, and needless of public opinion. and all that. but I'm not a bad fellow-do you think that some

 .'I see they need a new elevator man here and l am thinking of applying for the position

You'd be in the cellar by that time.'
 Winthrop imagined that he would and, after droping the car for two or three floors, the boy stopped it with jerk that seemed to the Honorable Reginald to drive his backbone into his skull. Where on all desire to run an American lift left him and at the first floor he got out.
 Customers were beginning to come n now. Winthrop stopped to watch portly female selecting impossible shades of red and lavender kid gloves. Then he became
 
 him.
 What did he say?" asked an irritated male voice. What excuse did he give?''
 None whatever. Said he was so sick of tying neckties on himself that he was afraid he'd strangle himself with one some night in his sleep"
 "Ridiculous" came the exasperated voice. Sales in the neckwear department have doubled snice we put him in the win dow.'
 The Honorable Reginald pricked up his aristocratic ears, then turned to the man nearest him and took off his hat
 T beg your pardon" he said. Are you looking for some one who can tie d good tie?"
 The man whirled around and scrutinized him closely
 Gan your" he asked. "I want some one who can tie scarf perfectly in all the different styles
 T can do it, fancy" Only the Hon orable Reginald said "fawncy," and the drawl betrayed his nationality.
 English eh? Can you tie the new wide our-in-hands and the strings for even ing dress?'
 sTry me-" said Winthrop with conf dence.
 Any references?"
 None whatever he answered prompt ly fI came over in the Oceanic four weeks ago. one week I hustled luggage baggage, you say here-one week l drove a cab and for one week I posed as the Turkish automaton, smoking cigarettes in a downtown window. The last week I've been looking for something to do."
 Winthrop was an exceedingly good look ing fellow. clean shaven and square jawed and the manager proved his astuteness by engaging him, with the result that in an hour a trihe more than the usual crowd stood before the necktie window In immaculate linen, minus coat and waistcoat the Honorable Reginald tied around his patrician neck one scarf after another, ascots, four-in-han and strings, In a kaleidoscope of colors-quiet ties and loud ties. wide ties and narrow ties until his arms ached and his soul re- volted.
 To the crowd outside the window he paid little attention. Once he glanced beyond to the line of hansoms and bro1ghams at

 AS Winthrop passed through the door way and closed the door behind him he | came face to face with Alice Mellor. What was that crash?' she asked, 1 suspicicusly "Is everything all right in | there?"
 T may as well tell you. You will learn 1t later" He was breathing heavily. "I- had some words with one of the men in there, and"

 "Don'tW she raised her hand Its too late to be sorry I trusted you tonight and you. Oh" there were tears in her voice now. 'FThe shame of It, the disgrace. How am I to face these peo- pie the rest of the evening"
 It's only another of my crazy errors.' he said, penitently. I'd have done any thing to save you humiliation, and now I have disgraced you. My whole stay in this house has been a mistake. and I am end ing 1t with the most serious blunder of all"
 You are leaving at once' If there was any shadow in her eyes he did not see it.
 At once" he said gravely.
 She looked quite blankly for an instant at his outstretched hand. Then, with slightly heightened color, she took It. And the Honorable Winthrop committed his final act of folly that momentous day by stopping and kissing lightly the fingers that rested in his.
 'It was simply disgraceful my dear" Miss Amelia Cushing leaned back in the blue brougham and folded her smoothly gloved hands. T had been down to a sta tioner's, leaving an order--you know that new monogram of mine, Alice-and just as I came out of the shop I almost col llded with one of those sandwich men that London is so full of. He said Beg par don, lady, and reached around that awful board to touch his hat. I looked again when I heard his voice, and it was Jack; sure enough"
 How terrible, Aunt Amelia. What did you do?" Alice Mellor's interest In the story had not abated, although this was It's third repetition that day.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION

The machinery employed in American shops and factories is estimated as equal to the physical energies of above 50,000, ,000- laborers. How many work. ing men are employed in our industries we shall not attempt to estimate, ex. cept to asume that they number into the millions. These are reinforced an. nually from the ranks of our youth and from the more than l,O00,000 for eigners who reach our shores every twelvemonth. And yet the cry comes from all quarters for more laborers- from the farm, the orchard, the factory, the mine, the transportation lines, the building guilds, from everywhere. The country is one enormous hive of indus try, Labor never turned out so much per hand per hour, wage was never so high nor profit never so great, consump. tion never so prodigious.
 In 1890 the American congress in vented an additional industry-the manufacture of tin plate. There was much discussion as to whether it was a wise or foolish thing to do, and today there are two sides to that discussion which we shall not undertake to enter upon. The tin plate mills called for laborers, but the alien contract labor law repelled laborers then, as it does now. The consequence is that while immigration from Europe was never so great as now the better class of immi- grants do not come in anything like the proportion they did twenty years ago.

English, Scotch, Irish and Scandinavian have given place to Slavs and the races of southern Europe, many of them good material for American citizenship, no doubt, but tens of thousands of them unfit for civilized life here or elsewhere.
 Here is the south clamorous for la bor, and within the next half century an industrial development will be seen in Virginia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky that is going to dwarf all other results of human en- deavor in peaceful walk. The climate is there, the water power is there, and the raw material is there. Nothing is lacking but labor, for capital is already devouring that land with hungry eyes.
 The labor will have to be drafted from Europe and that is illegal unless the states of the south are allowed to whip the devil around the stump. It was understood that the south was to be allowed that privilege in consideration of the legislation that gfew out of that Japanese muddle out yonder on the Pacific slope.
 But the president has appointed an immigration commission, headed by Mir. Henry Cabot Lodge. MT. Lodge is an excellent gentleman and an acknowl. edged and admitted statesman.
