An OFFER OF WORK
By MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD
RIDGE.

"Oh. man!-do you want to do some
work."
It was little Flo Duncombe, q pretty
child Of eight years, who shouted the
words at q young man passing the
fencedln garden where she stood with
her sister, lola.
The latter, eighteen and beautiful,
was rather sorry that her impetuous
companion had SO familiarly called the
passer-by "man"-for he was a man.
indeed-straight, athletic, bronzed and
carelessly dressed. but under the sur
face the clear eyes and intelligent
face proclaimed the gentleman.
Work, little one?" smiled the
stranger. pausing and at one glance
at the lovely face of lola, becoming in
terested. 7 am always glad to work.
What b IT."
Rose leaves and down." chartered
Flo excitedly, important and eager
Il fear my little sister has been
presumptuous," spoke Miss Duncombe,
going nearer the picketed fence. r.
I needed some assistance"
And am glad of an offer Of work, /"
declared the young man promptly,
dotted his cap, cleared the fence at q
bound and stood awaiting orders.
Miss Duncombe showed q puzzled.
irresolute expression in her fair face.
She could not quite estimate this
brisk, willing stranger. He carried q
portfolio under one arm. Was he a
canvasser? He did not look It. lola
could not exactly analyze him and as
she regarded him there was a pleased
look on his face, as though he read
her thoughts and was whimsically
pleased to act the man of mystery.
lola was obliged to say something to
relieve the unnatural strain Of the
situation.
THE work is less arduous than tedi
Gus and painstaking," she said and
she led the way towards an ornate
summer house. It was quite com
plete structure Of itself, being sup.
piled with doors and windows, but
these SO arranged that in summer
time they could be lifted out of view,
making Of the pagoda-like ediice an
open air pavilion.
AS she neared its door the young
man instantly understood the allusion
of little Flo to rose leaves and feath.

New Shoulder Straps.

The English shoulder strap is now
being used by the woman with beau
tiful neck. instead of the conventional
American shoulder cap or frilled eve
ming sleeve. America has, however,
gone a step farther. One strap is al
lowed to drop alluringly from the
shoulder. as though by accident, but
really by artful design. Another pref
ty and equally careless" effect is that
of sewing a rose to the side front Of
the gown, just as though, in the act Of
falling to the floor from the bodice, its
thorns had caught In the gown and
held 1t suspended.

went on his way little Flo made him
promise to come and see them when
he returned from his stretching tour

distant.

lola. A newcomer in town. q Robert
Wilder. came pretty regularly to see
her. but lola took little interest in
him. He had bloomed forth In the
village as young man Of fortune on
q vacation. Mr.. Duncombe had met
him at the town club and took quite
fancy to him. This was, however, BE-
cause a. his partner Ct whist the tai
ented young man won most Of the
games from their adversaries at cards.
One evening this delectable individ-
ual met Jim Carr, q servant at the
Duncombe home, In . secret way.
Judging from their conversation,
these two had known one another in
a sinister way in the past. Further
than that, it appeared that the vaunt-
ed young man Of wealth had some
hold on Jim.
"See here. Carr" he said On the
present occasion. you know what I'm
after: rich wife. II old Duncombe
has the money think I wouldn't OBJ
ject to becoming his son.in-law."
"You want TO be spry. then" Id
tised Jim.
"Why u that?'
There's a young artist fellow who
has been around for an evening or
two. He met Miss lola about q week
ago, it seems, and. on his way to the
city. has decided to stop in the village
for a week or two. My opinion is he
is in love with the girl"
"Oh, we'll, I'm pretty solid with the
old man." boosted Wilder. "see here,
I want you to do something for me
and I'll pay you we'll"
"All right-what is 1T"
II want you to act a. my dictA-

manage to overhear what conversation
goes on in the house; like what old
Duncombe says about me, and how
the girl regards mer"
Sure" replied Jim readily.
Then report to me day after TO-
morrow" and at their tryst Jim ap-
peared at the time appointed.
I've got some news" be advised
Wilder.
Let's have it."
There's closet managed to hide
in just of the library, where I over.
heard q good deal. Night before last
heard Mr.. Duncombe telling what q
capital fellow you WERE"
"Good!" commented Wilder.
Then l overheard them talking
with his lawyer. From the conversa.
ton gathered that he is worth about
hundred thousand dollars.
"Excellent-so on, Jim,- directed
Wilder.
Last evening, though, q stranger
called. He was inQuiring about you.
He is detective from the city looking
you up for q swindling game there,
and he told Mr.. Duncombe an about
it."
POUNDS! then I'm done for" ex.
claimed Wilder, II reckon I'll make
tracks from town before I'm picked
up" and Wilder started to move away
There was something more" ad

"Yes-well, what about him." ques
toned Wilder irritably.
HE proposed to Miss lola this after
