BREAKING THE NEWS TO MARY.

-an extra weeks wages or something I like that" suggested Thaxter comfort ably as he kissed Mrs. Thaxter good | by.
 As soon as Mary had completed her somewhat hit or miss service at the | dinner table that night Thaxter glanced at her retreating figure and said, "Well?r in a casual tone, that did not in the least hide his curiosity. l Mrs. Thaxter made no reply. How did Mary take her honorable discharge?" he questioned aIter a , moments silence.
 She didn't take it. Didn't take it?" Soon after you left this morning l went into the kitchen and I said in my most dignifled way that I wished to have a little talk with her. well, Miss Thaxter, dear. I never saw any body like you for sweetness Many s the lady that would let girl work from morning to night without word of kindness, but you come out here to talk with me, friendly like, and I am proud, ma'am."
 What did you say to that?" Why, I told her I wished her to know how much you enjoyed the plum cake. You see. it was impossible to bring up the subject of letting her go then when she was so pleased 10 well come me to the kitchen It really wouldn't have been kind. And after little chat I went back to the living room, and twice during the morning l returned to the kitchen and tried to tell her, but she was so merry and pleasant that I just couldn't"
 50 you fiunked, did you?''
 Now, you needn't make fun of me. didn't funk I stuck to it. 1 wrote her a nice note, explaining the situ- alton and telling her that we both hoped she would find a good place, and I added some advice about trying to hn n hnr at con, saying I wished her to read it carefully, and in about ten minutes she came to me with it. 'Ah, Miss Thaxter, somehow neither head nor tail I can make out of this recipe she said.
 Recipe I repeated.
 Yes, indeed, don't you remember how you wrote down some cake rule or other. and told me to read it care fully? I can't get the straight of it. ma am. Just think, Harry, that poor girl doesn't know how to read! l took back the note and said it didn't mat ter just now. that I'd tell her about it later. I'm sorry, Harry, but I don't think I know any way to discharge her."
 ''Yes, I see how it is, Alice" said Thaxter with amiable superiority. You haven't had much experience dealing with employees. I'll have to attend to the matter myself' He strolIed nonchalantly toward the kit chen.
 Well" his wife asked when he joined her a few moments later, ''is she going at once or will she stay the week out?"
 "She isn't going" Isn't going?"
 ''No, she says you're like a sister to her and she can't bear to leave you. "Oh, Harry, you're-wen, you're a dear We'll just have to learn to be as good natured and forgiving as Mary Chicago News.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Concerning Profitable Building.

Mir Editor: I was in hopes some one would take the pains to show in the columns of The Bulletin how money could be invested in the erec- ton of tenements so as to produce a profit. AS an owner of property a is an interesting subject to me.
 Eighteen years ago l bought a piece of property in Norwich and it has stood in the tax list but an estimated price for 13 years but in order to equalize taxes in Norwich the taxa ble value of my property has in the past years been advanced 29 1-2 per cent, and although very much improved and kept in repair the de- preciaGon has been fully 33 per cent. I am in the enjoyment of the prop erty. but figure as I may I cannot make out how this property could to me were it offered to rent, for 8 per cent. on the cost.
 There is nothing Norwich Is more in need of than comfortable, sanitary, cheap tenements, but since the average wage is only $512 a year to meet conditions right ought to be had for from $75 to $100 a year. do not know but tenements can be built to rent for that but with the short days and high wages of labor of every kind and the greatly there's ed price of building materials I can not figure out a four per cent. in come as the result of such an in Vestment
 There may be others who can and it would be pleasing to me to see a specific statement of how it can be done, sor I believe if it could De clearly shown that per cent. could be guaranteed above taxes, upkeep and rental losses for new property of the quality needed there are millions in the savings banks of Norwich which would immediately seek em- ployment in such enterprises giving work for many more citizens than are employed in the city today.
 It takes something more than pohtprandial addresses to furnish a guaranty for such a venture.
