Dicks heart throbhed with excitement
and happiness What a brick Ron was!
No one else in the world would have

Dick shuddered at the thought of the
penny and twopenny tips that held at
the Red House; but he had made up his
mind and he would go through with it.
Miss Lucy was supreme at the Red
House, and had no difficulty in securing
the engagement of her favorite to fill
the old walters place; and entered with
zest when she saw he was really in
earnest. into an explanation of his duties
and work, which were TO commence the
following morning.
And the work proved less irksorre
than Dick had expected, for all the time
he was carrying hot steak and mash

drea ms. the completion OF his picture
of Life which one day should bring
him fame and fortune. But though he
got up early and worked all the early
morning hours. the face of his maiden
eluded him. and 1t remained still a blank
in the glowing picture.
Then one day Dick knew that he had
seen the one perfect embodiment of love
and that never again would it's memory

AT one luncheon hour, a mother and
daughter stroIled IN, the former bring

gently flowing curves. outlined By the
"eIl-cut gray tailored suit. with
a dainty head. fresh with the colorins
or the wild rose, and crowned with a
coronet of cleaning golden hair. From
the mothers accent it was easy to
gather she was an American. and the
faintest trace Of the soft drawl ling

Never had Dick waited SO badly. for
he could scarcely take his eyes off the
face of the girl, which was also the
face of his dream. II only he had mis-

soul and genius depended? He mus,

He got up feeling he must have air
and, putting on his hat, went out and
walked on blindly. His walk took him
down familiar quiet street with a few
small shops and eating houses. AS he
passed one OF these the smell Of fresh
iy-cooked fare sent such pang
through him that he felt he must eat
something or die. He thrust his hand
into his pocket: siXpence and a few
coppers was all that it contained.
Without waiting to wonder what he
would do If he spent all that at once.
he turned into the little eating house,
which was famous. in small way, for
its beautiful old carving' and, though
the tariff was low, strangers. especial

often came in to feast their eyes as

sunk so low, Dick had often dined and
lunched at the Red House.

The weeks and months went by, and
Dicks light heart became heavy and his
high hopes fell away one by one. He had
pawned everything of value he pos

last stand. He was living in a bare

vantage OF size and light. to make up
for its icy GOODNESS and draughts, and
for its bare and desolate condition.

Charitable institutions often find it hard to learn the occupations of those admitted. A man who has followed several trades when asked his occupa- ton names the one he regards as most dignified. even if he has not followed it for years. The Survey tells of a case that happened in the Cook County in- firmary. The man ''at the age Of nine teen was a sailor for one year. His career as a sailor ended with an acci- dent on the ship by which he lost a leg. For the next thirty-six years be took various jobs as caretaker and the like such as a crippled person can ob- tain.
