 By George!' he said to Freddy Fur ulval. That office boy of yours is a freak. May l ask what on earth in- duced you to hire hIm?"
 You may" Freddy replied. "The sole consideration was that he's a member of the Benvenuto Cellini cir. cle of the TaSso Settlement on Mott street, at which yOur sister Mary is a worker"
 Quite so" Oakley commented. But where's the connecticut"
 Spoken like brother" said Fred. dy. "I suppose you don't know Mary Is awfully down Uu mo and calls me one of the idle rich"
 "I do know It." Oakley replied. Last night at dinner she said you were only playing at practicing law"
 "Precisely." said Furuivul, and Fay Tor shall be the mcunS of dlsillusionlng her. He is under strict injunction to inform her. first. what large and lucrative practice I'm acquiring. and, second, how by preccpt and example | I'm making man out of him."
 He felt in his pockets for some Ciga. rettes and found none there.
 "Taylor." he called. And when Tag llatcla appeared in response he threw the lad a quarter. Get some ciga' rettcs," he said. "the kind we're both partial to-"
 You dou't mean to say you feed him cigarettcsT" said Oakley when the boy had gone

 By JCve! What won't fellow d( when he's in lOve?" Oakley ejacu lated
 You're quite right" said Freddy but there are compeusations. I've in yited myself over to the BenyenutC Cellini circle tonight, us Taylor's guest and Mary will be there. Here he 1! now," he broke or suddenly. Greet ings. Taylor"
 The stuutcd youth entered. and. grin uiug shcepiShly, deposited packag, of cigarettes on the desk, from whicl Freddy took it.

 The TaSSo settlement on Mott stree accomplished two results. neither O which was important from the stand point of sociology. Imprimis, it pro yided Hector GinhouIiac, its founde and head worker, with living, and secondly, it catered to a laudable anC charming taste for social service" il various wealthy young spinSters.

 True, Gilhouliac had no money anC even made melancholy jest of his pov erty to Mary.
 But you are rich in your life work she would say.
 GinhOuliac would answer with a re signed smile, induced, no doubt, by tn, aptness of Mary's observation. Ho would, indeed, be rich if his plans ma tured as he hoped. Moreover, he sin cerely admired Mary. Her face wa lovely rather than beautiful.
 In most men her glance might wei provoke a sense of their own unworthi ness, but in Ginhouliac It aroused onl, self congratulation. The proposition seemed delightfully."- easy, save for on, obstacle-namely, the cost of suitable engagement ring-and this difficulty t a person of Electors ingenuity migh be readily overcome.
