CHAPTER XIII.

EARY FLETCHER had been a
M widow for year before she
heard again from Gordon Craig
Meanwhile she had secured a position in
an uptown office in which her con-
scientious work and keen interest in her
duties were soon recognized II was
not until after her husbands death that
she knew that years before, Bert had
mad his life insured in his mothers
favor for a thousand dollars. He wished
70 let this lapse after his marriage. but
his mother had kept up the payments
on II. saying nothing about 1t to her
daughter law
This sum enabled the two women to
move from the tenement in which they
were living and take as small nat
and one almost as cheap in neighbor-
hood where there was less squalor and
more pure air. Here the little boy -four
ished under his grandmother's judi
cious care
Then at the end Of this first year Of
her widowhood. she met Gordon Craig
again upon the street He glanced in
nutringly at the black dress which Mary
had donned-not because OF grief for her
husband, but because she felt that
black was safe and proper garb for
a woman situated as she was. She told
herself that in her heart she was
mourning for the happiness she had lost
and for the wrong she had done in
marrying where she did not love. Craig
asked for her address, but she gave il
only when he begged that he might
bring his little girl 10 see her.
My mother has her here on a visit
to me-" he explained, "and l want you
TO know my small daughter"
The second time that Craig called
with his child Mrs. Fletcher. senior. and
the boy were out, for II was a lovely
Sunday afternoon. Mary was tired and
preferred. she said, to stay at home.
She did not mention that Craig had
sent line to her at her office saying
that he would call this afternoon. As
Mary lifted his woman child to her lap
she felt a throb OF mother love for the
little girl that made her gather her
closely in her arms and kiss her. The
child smiled and chung to her. Craig,
watching the pair. spoke quickly.
Mary" ne pleaded. See how my
little girl loves you! And dear love
you, too"
But she checked him by a gesture
''Piease don't. Gordonl" she begged.

American Business Hustle.

Here is an instance Of the thorough
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east Is order
ing a large quantity Of electrical ma
terial, and the head Of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
to America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion, with the result that when he
landed he received a sheaf Of letters
of invitation from manufacturers, and
of offers of hospitality. AS a result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions.
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative Is doing
precisely the same, but nothing what
ever has been done by or on behalf
Of the British manufacturer. II the
representative wants to e anything
in this country he has to dig 1t out for
himself, for nobody seems to care for
the business and nobody knows Of 1t.
