what brought the old man down so ear
Typ whispered Sam, glancing furtiveiy at the
| rctreating form of the foreman. Its only
eight o'clock yet, and he hardly ever shows up
before nine"
The day hands had commenced TO arrive,
and the composing-room began to assume
busy aspect; but Rob seemed in no mood
for labor. The flush had not died out of his
cheek, nor the fire from his eyes. The fore.
mans rebuke had fallen upon him as well as
the others, and sense of injustice ranked
in his heart.
Come, ,ycungster, you'd better pitch in"
said Charlie, who was but little older than
Rob and not so overbearing as Sam. "The
old mans got ON to us, and we've got to toe
the mark"
Rob. determinedly.
Hell bite your head off," warned Charlie.
while Sam scowled blaclly.
But Rob walked resolutey away, and the
two boys saw him enter the little office.
'1'll be even with him, muttered Sam. ''If
there's anything | hate it's squealer."
Charlie said nothing In his heart he knew
that Rob was right and besides he had ex-
perienced Sans oyerbearing disposition at
various times himself.
In short time Rob came back, and went
what did he say?" whispered Charlie.
while Sam maintained a logged silence.
Rob shook his head.
III makes no difference" he said; "only
snail know my place henceforward."
Shortly afterward Mr.. Rand come out, and
handed Sam piece of paper.
Set that up, and print a dozen slips"
And with these words, the foreman turned
away.
SAM who was quite expert at type-setting,
went to an office case, and commenced work.
1t was a plain specification of the duties of
the boys, and Charlie, after the slips were
printed, felt Chat he owed debt Of gratitude
to Rob, for now the work was evenly divided,
and each would get credit as he deserved.
Matters moved along harnioniously for
another week, though Rob felt that he had
made bitter enemy in Sam, who scarcely
deigned to notice him, unless in some way
to render him uncomfortable by so doing.
Though this sort of life was distastefui Rob
made the best of it, while Rocky kept stead
lily at work, being engaged for several weeks
by regular, who was away on a vacation.
As Rob left the office at six o'clock one
night, a week after his difficulty with Sam,
he saw a crowd collected on Washington
street, near the old State House.
whats the matter?" he heard one gem
tleman ask another.
"A man killed trying to stop a runaway
team, answered the other. Here they come
now, bringing him this way"
A policeman, with an uplifted club drove
the crowd back, and Rob, who had stepped
into doorway, saw four men bearing limp
form between them. The light shone full upon
the pale, upturned face.
It was Rocky Mountain.

And he ran down into the editorial rooms,
returning almost Immediately.
Rob waited nervously.
A moment later, bell rang and the copy
box ratified up from the floor below. AS luck
would nave 1t, Rocky took the very item from
the hook that Rob had written, and the boy
watched him as, with deft fingers he formed
the words.
''ThereP' said Rocky, after he had emptied
the take; your first effort is in type. May
there be many more to follow"
During the week, Rob handed in a number
OF items, nearly all of which were used, and
when Rocky. drew his pay, an envelope was
handed to him from the editorial rooms con-
tanning two dollars and note explaining that
the money was for his boy friend.
Inc sum was trihing one but it filled Rob S
heart with feeling of honest pride, hitherto
almost entirely unknown. This money he
mad earned with his brain.
WHO knows" he said to himself, "but some
day | may make my living in this way?
Ihls state of affairs continued for month,
during, which time Rob developed quite an
aptitude for news-gathering and received three
or four dollars week for the matter he fur.
nished. This, with what he earned by odd
Jobs, more than paid his expenses.
He roomed with Rocky at Mrs. Symptoms,
and, were it not for his inconsistencies, would
have been quite happy. He was tempted at
times to write home but the old haunting
fear in regard to his alleged guilt in Stoddard's
iumber,eamp restrained him.
Il will work my way up in the. world" he
said, whenever this gloomy feeling oppressed

charges"
The bright May sunshine glittered upon The
gllded dome of the State House and fell
attwart the green slopes Of the Common. The
sparrows twittered and chirped beneath the
broad branches of the still 1eafless trees. as
Rocky and Rob walked slowly across Boston's
famous breathing-place.
Both boy and man had changed greatly. The
boy was neat and trim, and lacked the fright
ened, shy look which had seemed sort of sec
oDd nature to him. The man had lost his old
careless, happy-go-lucky expression; but an
earnest, manly look had taken its place
Evidently something burdened the mans
mind. As they came near the Soldiers Monu-
ment he spoke to. the lad by his side
Rob, I'm afraid your repertorial abors will
have to be suspended for awhile"
why, what is the matter?" asked the boy,
in grieved tone; for the work had been a
source of considerable PRIDE as well as in
come, to him.
ooh. they've made some changes down
stairs. Carey, the former local editor, has
gone West, and Smith, one of the reporters
has been promoted. He's been Jealous of YOU

G1I@hr I'M OocIETy

Nothing so illbefts a girl as conceit. A
quiet, gentle manner; an unselish and
thoughtful way of dealing with people; strict
adherence to the dictates of conscience in
spite of ridicule and censure: avoidance of
tattle concerning neghbors; bravery to speak
up boldly for the absent, and. above all, I'M
bounded charity.
II every girl were to practice these virtues,
society would be vastly benefited thereby
and come nearer to the dictionary definition
of "a union of persons in one interest"
And now a few words of advice to girls
going into society, which is practically the
same as entrance into new world.
You have just left school. and now you are
going out into the world of society, full of
new dangers. difficulties and temptations,
Los Angeles herald., 1908-02-09

and you will do well to pause a moment and
consider these remarks.
First of all. do not expect too much. By
that l mean. do not look for ideal men and
women, or you will be bitterly disappointed.
Never get in the habit of placing implicit
trust in every one you meet. but at the same
time never suspect any one, unless you have
good reason to do SO.
Girls are often perplexed in this matter.
They say, 81 am not to suspect, and / am
not to blindly trust. What, then, am | to
do?" Simply this: When you meet fresh
acquaintance, do not say to yourself, ooh,
dear, can't make her out at ALL l don't
know whether to trust her or mott" but say,
rather, "Here is girl with whom have to
deal as / should like her to deal with me-"
Leave all other doubts and perplexities alone,
and you will find that it is not long be-
fore her true character is revealed.

"And I'm sorry l did it., ma'aln."
He walked slowly to his seat without anoth-

"Attend to your books, children The
Third Reader class will now recite"
The Valentine was never mentioned before
the school again, but Dan told Miss Drew af-
terward that he had borrowed George Doan's
blotter after printing the teachers name on
the envelope.
ut was a lucky Valentine, after ALL" Miss
Drew often said to her friends afterwards;
s1for from that time on, Dan Mays was one
of the best boys and one of the truest friends
had in the school, and with him on my
side it was easy to gain victory over the
other younger boys who were inclined to be
unruly. That sudden severe sickness of

try girl has the same advantages as her city
cousin, and society has charms for EACH
Society is explained in the dictionary to
mean "a union Of persons in one interest;
fellowship"-tha is, a distinct society for
the furtherance of some particular object,
such as educating the mind, clothing the
poor or aiding the heather.
But the society about which we are con-
cerned is that which is generally understood
by the term-a number of people who meet
together and hold social intercourse with one
another.
There are two kinds of society to be met
with everywhere-good society and bad so-
ciety-and any one with knowledge OF
right and wrong and fair amount of com.
mon sense cannot fail to distinguish between
them.
Bad society cannot be too carefully avoid
ed. People with charming ways, but des-
titute of moral character attract the limo
cent and thoughtless into their society. and
lead them until they discover their mistake
and struggle back to the right road with
many tears of repentance.
Every period has its typical girls, and on
an average the girl of one period is no better
or worse than another, although there are
certain differences that deserve to be noted.
Girls nowadays have far more liberty than
they had in olden times. which sometimes
leads them to assume familiarity and for
wardness that is Objectionable; they are
loud and boisterous without being amusing,
and frequently their conceit involves them
in all manner of trouble
