Charmingly attired ladles swarmed about the counters; harassed sakswo men pulled down Innumerable boxes and aniuercd unlimited questions; and the little baskets chased one another alou tho wires to the cashier's desk. At a farther counter, where pretty toilet articles held sway,. Annie Rogers stood g.ulug at her own fair Image In a pbte glass hand-mirror with russla loilher back. "He'll be sure to like It," she said, looking up at the young man who stood walling at her side. "I'll take it," she added, turning to the girl behind tho counter, and producing her purse; "it's ills birthday, you know," she went on, as the hand-glass went flying down the wire; "wo always make birthday pres ents to each other. "Dear old Uucle Dodsonl" "Uncle Dodson" he had always been to her,though she was only an orphaned relatlvo of his dead wife, adopted in her Infancy. "He's a lucky person with you to care for him," said Howard Canby, taking charge of tho hand-mirror as It reap peared in its neat wrappings; "you'll let me walk home with your' he went on as they stepped out into the crowded street. More than one noted them admiring ly as they walked slowly down the sticet together the graceful girl in her soft light dress, her cheeks grown pink and her eyes bright In the fresh air, and the tall young man, not far behind her In personal advantages, bending to talk to her. Hut they were not aware of these ap proving glances; they were not consci ous, Iu fact, of anything beyond their own absorbing conversation, a hint of which may be gathered from their part' Ing words. For, as they mounted the broad steps of the big Dodson house, Annie was murmuring: "What will Uncle Dodson say?' "He'll give us his consent nnd bless ing, of course, my dear girl," said HoV' aid cheet fully. And he cave Mr. Dodson's birthday present Into her possession, pressed her - i hand with a whlspeied word, and went I uown tuo steps remciauuy. TOIC0BS Oil uERMan1reMEBh A large valise stood In the hail, and an unfamiliar hat hung on the rack. Annie looked at them sharply. Pro bably It was some frlcud of Uncle Hod son's come to see him lie was some thing of an Invalid. Hut the hat a smart speckled straw, with a blue band had an uumlslukahly youthful air. She ran up the stairs wonderlngly. Mr. Dodson was sitting In the large arm-chair before tho window, where most of his time was spent. A young man of two and-twenty, or thereabouts, noticeable for nothing unless for tho cheerfulness of his rather boyish face, sat near him. Mr. Dodson looked tip with a wel coming smile as Annie entered. "My nephew, Dudley Hobart, my dear," he said. Tlio young man rose nnd bowed rather constrainedly, Annie thought. Mr. Dodson regarded her anxiously. "Sit down," ho said. Annie sat down at his side, feeling that something unpleasant was coming; and the young man quietly withdrew. "He. is my nephew my only rela tive," -Vr. Dodson began. "He will Inherit iny property, my dear." "Well?" said Annie cheerfully. "Well," Mr. Dodson repeated, strok ing her hand, "ho will Inherit my prop erty; but you must be provided for, too. There seems to me but one way. I have thought of it much; but the best way seems to be that you should marry. So I have sent for him," said -Vr. Dodson, going on hurriedly, "and we have been talking of it, my dear." Poor Annie' had listened silently. Was this kind-hearted Uncle Dodson who was saying these dreadful things? "A little too busincss-lifco to suit you eh?" said Jfr. Dodson, noting her distressed face. "Yes, of course, I ex pected that. Young folks nowadays have an Idea that their elders shouldn't have a word to say about these things not a word! Hut don't you see, my dear," he went on kindly, "that it's all the same thing. Suppose I had got Dudley hero without mentioning my little plan? Well, you'd have been pret ty sure to fall in lovo with each other. He's as nice a fellow as you'll find, Annie, and he knows a pretty girl when he sees ono, I imagine. Well, then, why should you hold back, cither of you, merely becauso I give a llt'tle pusli to a sure-enough aftalr?" The girl at his side turned her troubled face away hastily. It was a very simple thing surely to put an end to all this. The mere mer tion of Howard Canby would do If, she was sure, for Uncle Dodson was not an ogre. nd yet, how could she meet Ills pos sible displeasure and lib certain disap pointment? The words died away on her Hps. "A bashful pair of youngsters you arc, 1 vowT' said Jr. Dodson with a laugh. "If Dudley didn't behave tlio samo way! Oh, well, you'll get over Jt." Annie opened her lips, hesitated. closed them again, with a weakness and cow ardice of w ltlch she was painfully con scious, and rose, with helpless tears dropping. Her recent purchase was still In her hands, "I have brought a liltlo present for your birthday, Uncle Dodson," she said chokingly, and laid it on his knees. It was not until a rather late hour that afternoon that Annie found cour age to visit Mr. Dodsou's room again. She had carefully avoided Mr. Hobart. Mr. Hobart! It was certainly the ug liest name she had ever heard. . She had taken lunch In her room,and she had not been out of It since At four o'clock a messenger-boy had brought a very small parcel, addressed to herself In Howard's well-known writing, which, when she had opened It eagerly, had been found to contain a little band of gold, ttl with a glittering stone. It is a most unnatural proceeding for a young lady to burst into tears at the first sight of her engagement ring; but that is what Annie did. For the pretty shining thing seemed only the symbol of her trouble and per plexity. She knew perfectly that her right course was to put the ring on the prop er finger, go boldly to Mr. Dodson, and explain its position there. She did, indeed, get as far as putting it on, and gazing at It fondly, and ad mlrlngly, and tearfully, from every con celvablo point of view; but there her courage failed her, Dear old Uncle Dodson! How could she dash his well-meaning hopes to the ground with a cruel word or two? He was so far from strong, sudden disap pointments always did him harm. She had dried her eyes as these des pairing thoughts came over her, and started nieclianlcallv for Mr. Dodson's room. Mr. Dodson sat facing tho window, as usual. Ills head was thrown back and his eyes were closed. Annie drew a sigh of relief; he was asleep. Dudley Hobart was sitting In a corner of the room, with a newspaper In his haud.and his feet disposed comfortably. If not gracefully, on a second chair. He rose hastily as Annie entered. "He is asleep," he remarked after a timid pause, "I liadobscncd It," said AnnIcshort ly, not deigning to look at tho speaker. '1 he young man looked confused. He laid down his paper, anil passed his hand over his closely-cropped head In troubled way, and finally offered her a chair, There seemed to be nothing else to do and Anulo sat down sillily. Mr. Hobart took the other chair. If Annie had glanced at htm, shu might I ,iave secn pleading looked filled . boyish face; but she looked coldly j over his head at the wall-paper. There was silence for several mo ments. Then tho young man, with a nervous clutcli of his chair-back, and with a vis ible effort, began desperately: "He said he had told you his his plan." Annie was cruelly uuresponslvc. "May I Inquire what you think of It?" said Mr. Hobart, with a face grown pale with agonized embarrassment. Annie rose sharply. "Words could not express what I think of It!'' she said, flashing an In dignant glance towards the young man. "It is absurd and abominable! He is dreadfully mistaken," iho went on more mildly, Indicating Mr. Dodson. "It can't possibly be!" Tlio occupant of the arm-chair moved restlessly; he was waking up. Annie lowered her voice as she went on severely: "I am already engaged. I " She paused In bewilderment. The face of her listener had been suddenly transformed with unmistakable relief and joy. He seized her hands warmly. "Engaged? Well, if wo aren't iu the samo boat. So ami!" Annie's severity vanished. Her cold gaze gave way to a quick smile of sym pathy. "Aro you, Mr. Hobart?" she cried. "I'm so glad." "Don't call ine Mr. Hobart," said the voting man Impetuously. "Call me Dud. Everybody calls me Dud." Annie laughed, and they sat down again In a friendly way. I have only been engaged since this morning," said Annie confidentially. "Sec ho has just sent mo a ring. He's the nicest fellow In the world. You'll think so whon you sec htm." "He ought to be the happiest," said Dud gallantly, taking her hand to ex amine the ring. They had lowered tholr voices care fully; further than that, Mr. Dodsou's presence was Ignored, "The ring I gayo Genevieve was some thing like it," Dud continued briskly. "Pretty name Oenevleve Isn't It?" "Very pretty," said Annie. "She's a pretty girl, tool" said Dud warmly. "I just wish you could know her! She's only seventeen; but you wouldn't think It. Here, I'll show jou her picture." He took it out carefully from an inner pocket, and held It up triumphantly. "She Is pretty," said Annie, looking approvingly at the fair young face In the picture. "I knew you'd think so," said Dud, looking gratified. "I have Howard's picture in the al bum downstairs," said Annie. "I'll run down and get It." She tripped away softly, and came hurrying back breathless, with tho plush covered book In her hand. "He looks as though he had sonic thing In him," was Dud's masculine comment. "Well, ho has," said Annie with a proud smile. "Of course," she went on hesitatingly, "we must tell Uncle Dod son?" "Of course!" said Dud faintly. Their eyes met; they smiled guiltily. "To tell the truth," said the young man, "I'd rather be shot!" My case exactly," Annie responded. You sec," said Dud, looking anxi ous, "lie means It all as a favor, a bene fit to us; and to go and knock all his plans endways In that style I'd just as lief be let out of it, for my part!" Precisely as I feel," murmured An nie. "What shall we do?" "Don't ask me," said Dud, An uneasy pause, filled by a helpless contemplation of each other with wrinkled brows "Of course we must tell him," Annlo repealed Irresolutely, "Of course," said Dud again. But that was as far as It went A rustling sound from Mr. Dodson's armchair roused them to a sudden sense of his presence, Are you awake,UncIe Dodson?"tald Annie, getting up slowly to go to htm, Dud following. 'Wldo awake, my dear," said Mr. Dodson promptly. "Docs your head ache?" said Annie, bending over his chair and feeling deep ly hypocritical. Mr. Dodson's reply was a strange one. It was a short, sarcastic laugh. His companions exchanged startled glances. Could he havo overheard them? No; it was Impossible. Hut he turned upou them abrubtly. "So you've gone and encouraged that good-fo-nothlng young Canby.have yon, miss?" he began, fixing Annie with a humorously stern gaze "thrown your self away on that young upstart eh?" Poor Aunle could only stare, bewlld ercd "And you. sir," Mr. Dodson weuton, turning to his uepbew "you've tied yourself to some littlo chit of a school girl not out of bibs yet, T suppose? A nice pair you are!" Ills listeners stood speechless. "Did jou overhear us?" murmured Dud, at last finding his voice with an effort "Not a word, sir not a word!" said Mr. Dodson coolly, "You're a clairvoyant, then!" ejacip lated the young man, half believing it Mr, Dodson laughed again, In evident enjoyment of their confusion, "And you were afraid to tell me.eh?' said he. "You were going to deceive a poor helpless old man?" "No, no!" said Dud In weak protes ta'.lon. Hut Annie a face expressed only a growing wonder. "How did you knov,Uncle Dodson?' she said, beseechingly. For answer, Mr. Dodson took up tho hand-mirror Annie's birthday present from Its satln-llned case, held It be- fore bis eyes, and motioned thetnoto I look Into It, I reflected, with wonderful distinct ness, the entire rear of the room, includ ing the chairs In which they had sat. "When I saw you, my dear," said Mr. Dodson, looking up wills twinkling eyes Into Annie's astonished face "when I saw you exhibiting a diamond ring which appeared to bo a recent acquisi tion, and bringing up the album to Bhow well, let us say old Mrs. Presley's pic ture and when I saw you, sir, whipping out an absurd little tin-type and actual ly talking about it as though it were something worth looking at I drew my own conclusion." "You aren't angry, dear Uncle Dod son?" said Annie timidly, a queer mix ture of relief and apprehension in lior face. "But 1 am," said Mr. Dodson, with a smile which refuted his words, "and I think I shall leave my money to well, say to a Home for Destitute Dogs. Neither of you deserve it!" "Hut neither of us want It," said Annie tenderly. "You'll enjoy it your self for a long time yet." Dud echoed her words. "I suppose I shall dlvldo It It equally between you," said Mr. Dodson musing ly, "but you don't deserve It!" Mr. Dodson was the liveliest of tho gay gathering at Annie's wedding a few months later. He gave away the bride; he made a stirring speech, and he led a quadrille. But his words of congratulation to young Mrs. Canby were a puzzle to the bystanders: "You owe It all to tho hand-mirror, my dearl" BLEEDINO THE CLERKS.

This Is a specimen of humanity that loans money for eighty days in sums not exceeding half the borrowers salary, at at the rate of 10 per cent, per month; that Is, If your salary $100 a month he will loan you $45 cash and take your note for $50, payable in thirty days. These money lenders claim this exorbitant Interest on the ground that the Insufficient security subjects tlicm to frequent Tosses. Hut I do not gco how they can lose; a clerk Is completely in their power. They never accept n note without tho name of a second clerk In good standing as an endorser. If either clerk refuso to pay his position In the department can be placed in jeopardy by the ten-per-ccnter filing a report of disregard of obligation against him. The lender's only danger of loss depends upon tho rare contingency of death, resignation, or discharge severing botli tho principal's and the endorser's con nection with the department before tho note falls duo. This money-lending business is a lucrative ono, and the foundation of many a handsome fortune in Washington has been thus laid. Officers for its prosecution are numerous In the vicinity of the departments, and many private bankers, lawyers, and real estate agents have a considerable run of this custom. In the Corcoran build ing, just opposite tlio Treasury, an cx- member of Congress from Virginia has done a very thriving business In loaning his money at five per cent, a mouth, uuderstand that he started out with capital of $10,000, and even at five per cent, this will yield him the handsome Income of $6,000 a year. On pay diys after the the departments close, he is ono of tho busiest m.-n In Washing, ton; his office is thronged with clerks, some soliciting loans, some renewing old ones and paying interest, and a very few taking up their notes. It is said that after pay days this man seldom has a cent of his capital left unloancd. A BUSINESS CHANCE. The son of a prominent dlylno went out to Dakota with the Intention of going Into business, but returned In very low circumstances financially, lin ing walked about half tlio distance. "Why, I am surprised, my son," said his father; "I thought there wero great opportunities for making money in the Territories. Didn't you strike a chance?' "Well, yes, In a measure; but the fact Is, father, I didn't hold the right kind of a hand. It was good enough' so I bet all I had on it; but the other fellow's was better and he raked in the pot." The nextSunday the minister preached on "The Crying Need of Mlssonarles In tho West." g THE BEST TGKtC. ?
