when l saw how slow you were here
on the work it made me nervous. A
good plant, but not worked to capacity.
'They had a man in q chair with q
barber cutting his hair and a mani
cur fixing his hands and a bootblack
backing his shoes all at the same
time, and l suppose you think here
that that's going some to have three
people work on a customer all at once,
but, goodness me, you ought to look
into my shop and see how we do things
in my part of the country!
1--WE got a shop that's every bit as
modern and up to date to the last linn
it as anything you've got in New
York, but out there we utilize our
plant. What do you suppose we do
when a man comes in that's in a hur-
ry to catch a train? Think we all lie
down and take a nap?
"Why, we put one barber to cutting
his hair and another to shaving him,
and two m~anicurers tackle his hands,
one on each side. We take off his
shoes, and two boys work on them,
each backing a single shoe. while two
chiropodists get at him. each taking
a foot, and at the same time we have
one boy brushing the customers hat
and another brushing his overcoat,
while another dusts the clothes he's

1t is hardly fair. though, to specu-
late as to the innermost thoughts of
the Countess Vecchi at that trying
moment. We know that she was rath-
er a nice young woman. very good to
look at and more or less entertaining
al a companion. Suppose she did mar
row her eyelids and bite to q ripper
redness her gracefully curved under
lip. We may even admit that she
crushed the meshes of the silver girdle
until there were red marks on her
white palm. She was no pallid COM
pendulum of all the feminine virtues.
She was a young person of high spir-
its and ready passions. And she could
not wholly forget those stories about
La Belle Savoie and the dinner to
chorus girls. Throwing a lace affair
over her head and shoulders. she slip
ped quietly out through the big en-
trance hall to the wide veranda and
down n of the paths leading toward
the sound. 1t was after 8 O'Clock and
quite dark. as the old moon was now
rising late, but she knew exactly where
she was going.
She saw something which made her
lean forward and strain her eyes with
intent interest. From one of the
smallest buildings. a low stone struc-
ture, which she judged must be the
i%cehouse, issued a CHEEKY beam of
light. Some one was standing in the
half opened doorway. Only for an in
slant did this spectacle remain visible.
Then the door was shut with a bang,
and the yellow ray disappeared. A
moment later the countess thought
she could distinguish a man making
his way across the lawn toward the
servants wing of the house.
Now, all this seemed very singular
to the Countess Vecchi. So, keeping
the figure of the man in sight, she be-
gan to walk parallel with him In order
to see where he was going. When she
saw be was making directly for the
side door of the south wing she grasp
ed her skirts firmly and started to
run, and she overlook him.

before Timmins could protest she had
lifted the linen cover which had been
thrown over the tray. A variety of
dishes stood revealed.
"Why, Timmins, surely the coach
puppies do not eat French chops!'
He was ready witted, was Timmins.

For years Miss Boardman has been a
