Rather Good to Have Around.

Any kind Of a woman in the office
would be a nuisance. but a young
woman who kept a powder box, a cold
cream jar and a bottle Of violet water
IN her desk among the typewriter sup
plies and copying ink was an utter i'm
possibility that ought to be encour-
aged to look for a more congenial job,
said the bakers dozen Of men who
have had heir own way In that office
for five years; but when, with the
first freezing of the steam pipes corks
stuck like glue to ink and mucilage
bottles every time they happened to
be corked up and the young woman
came to the rescue by simply smear
ing some of her cold cream over YER
cork so it would stand in the bottle
for q month without sticking, the men
said maybe a woman who knew prac-
teal little hints like that wasn't such
a bad person to have around after

A few of the minor articles were

how much he could borrow from the

business manager from his next

with the prize, while Robbins hurried
credit of both the price. He soon
returned with the money, and the two
musketeers loaded their precious
package into a carriage and drove
with it to Dumars' room, in old Char
tres street, nearby. They lugged it,
covered with a cloth. up the stairs,
and deposited it on a table. A hun

and at that estimate, according to
their calculation, if their daring

fixed itself upon religious matters,
perhaps to the detriment Of his world
ly affairs.
Thither went Robbins and Dumars,
and were admitted through the mar
row doorway in the blank stone wall
that frowned upon Bonhomme street.
An old was sweeping the
chapel. She told them that Sister
Felicite, the head of the order, was
then at prayer at the altar in the al
cove. In a few moments she would
emerge. Heavy, black curtains
screened the alcove. They waited.
Soon the curtains were disturbed,
and Sister Felicite came forth. She
was tall, tragic, bony and plain-fea-
tured, dressed in the black gown and
severe bonnet of the sisterhood.
Robbins, a good rough-and-tumble
reporter, blu lacking the delicate
touch. began to speak.
They represented the press. The
lady had, no doubt. heard of the
NORM affair. 1t was necessary. in
justice to hat gentleman's memory,
to probe the mystery Of the lost
money 1t was known that he had
come often to this chapel. Any in

Morin's habits, tastes, the friends he
had. and so on. would be of value
in doing him posthumous justice.
Sister Felicite had heard. What
ever she knew would be Willingly
told. but 1t was very little. Monsieur
NORM had been a good friend to the
order, sometimes contributing as
much as a hundred dollars. The sis
terhood was an independent one, de-
pending entirely upon private contri-
buttons for the means to carry on
its charitable work. Mr.. NORM had
presented the chapel with silver can
dlesticks and an altar cloth. He came
every day to worship in the chapel,
sometimes remaining for an hour. He
was a devout Catholic. consecrated
to holiness. Yes, and also in the al
cove was a statue OF the Virgin tina:
he had, himself, modelled, cast, and
presented to the order. Oh, it was
cruel to cast a doubt upon so good a
mani!
Robbins was also profoundly
grieved at the dmputation. But. until
it was found what Mr.. NORM had
done with Madame Tibault's money,
he feared the tongue of SANDER would
not be stilled. Sometimes-in fact,
