Several years ago, when Chief Mey-
ers was a Giant, he asked Christy
Mathewson to advise him how to In
vest some money.
"Buy Rock Island!" was Matty's re-
ply. So the chief put up $1,000 only
to see the stock drop to nothing. OF
course, the Indian, who loves his dol
lars, was bitterly disappointed. He
couldn't talk to Matty without showing
his feelings.
Last spring when Meyers had been
sold to the Brooklyns Matty faced him

was eager to discomfort him. shouted

Jennie.
"Well, New York is an awful place
for young girls, an hope"
Mrs. Tucker had a way of pausing
before a momentous climax. Jennie
again supplied it.

snapped the girl. "Well, I guess
know enough not TO get out OF the
straight and narrow path. I've never
had anything all my life but narrow
paths, and I ought to know one when

An audible masculine chuckle just
inside the door of the store where
they were standing made Jennie quick

She saw it was Joe Burrows who had
laughed, but she did not let him know
she saw him. Joe was the son of the
proprietor, Seth Burrows, a skinny
shriveled, money-making machine who
kept his sole heir very carefully in line
%ith his object in life. Joe worked
the farm part of the time, and helped
in the general supply store at inter
walls. Before Joes mother died she
had stood by her son in his desire fol
an education, and so, much against
the old mans parsimonious ideas, Joe
had been allowed to go through the
high school in the neighboring town

being somewhat like him in that re-
spect, a mutual attraction had grown
up between them. Then came Miss
Kraft to visit the StevensOns, who
lived in the most pretentiOus house in
the place. She was a settlement work
err in New York, and having acciden-
tally met Jennie, she became inter-
sted in her; and when the girl told
her of the necessity for finding work,
and her desire to go to New York
to try to earn something, Miss Kraft
promised to see what she could do.
Joe had very little sympathy with
Jennie's desire for New York. She
was perhaps foolishly reticent regard
ing the real reason, not explaining as
she had to Miss Kraft. She thought
he did not care. He did not ask her
to stay. And Joe believed she wished
to get away from the little village,
himself included, to find in the great
city the chance for excitement and
the kind of life he loathed. SO it was
a misunderstanding all around. He
did not know that one word from him
would have kept her there, even
though she had scrubbed floors for a
living, and perhaps he had not yet
thought of speaking that word.
So with the bitter memory of his
Indifference ranking in her heart,
Jennie went down to the great city.
The place Miss Kraft had found for
her was that of @ saleswoman in a
cheap department store downtown.
The pay was so small that though she
shared a small, comfortless room with
another girl, prepared her slender
breakfast over a gas jet, and ate q
ten-cent lunch, there was very little
left at the end of the week. Out of
this meager amount she sent some
thing to her mother with reassuring
words Of a raise in her salary. AT
first It seemed to Jennie she would
not be able to stand the privatiOn and
hard work but pride and a deterni-
nation to hold on kept her at 1t.
Miss Kraft conducted a club for
working girls on the East side, and
she asked Jennie to join. The mem
bers were mostly Of foreign parentage,
and included Russian Jews, Poles,
Roumanians, Germans, Scandinavians
and Italians. At first Jennie, all un-
used to their manner and mode OF
expression, unwittingly held herself
aloof. But she found them so bright,
so responsive, and with such an eager
desire to learn, that soon all barriers
were leveled by the spirit of CANA
raderie in the quest Of common
cause.
In June the club discontinued fol-
the summer. Miss Kraft Informed the
girls she was going to be married In

Aluminium Money.

The fact that the Chamber Of Com
merce of Marseille, owing to the short
age of currency, has issued aluminium
counters for small change, is another
illustration of the way in which old
customs are being introduced to meet
the exigencies Of the times.
Among the numerous minor Grecian
states, and in early medieval Europe,
