I had been away, and I bail not heard
what had happened to him; but it was
not lone before that ceacless, tludess
gossip brought It to my ears. When I
met hlni, and after we had exclmmred
greetings, he himself began: "V never
imc had many secicts, Tom. I will
tell you," and lio told me.
My good mother, you know, Tom,
was alw.ivs assuring mo that I wna a
(treat catch; over warning m that
there were endless numbers of bcIiimii
lng mammo3 looking nftei my money.
In fact, she finally put me Into n sort of
nerous terror of women; I was sure I
never should find one who would car's
for me myself; I was Jeremiah. Mer
rlvale's boh; I was the head oC tin tttcat
Menlvale mills; I was an olijoct ot cm
among men and women; I waxsuiiposi'J
to be a fellow with Infinite lelsuio. As
a matter-of-fact I have or had no icst.
You can't be the omplojor of home three
thousand persons without feellus a re
sponsibility; so my di.r fnMier hioiniht
me up; and I am glad now that I ncer
shirked. Save for two or thio aca
tlons and all the employes Imn these
as well there Is no heaidsr-worked
man In Niw York than the head of
Merrivalo & Co I am not inclined to
self-pity. Kather I pity dawdleis, and
God has gUen us no greater blessing
than this tame well;.
But my mother took another view of
It. She Insisted that I was not able to
protect myself against fortune hunt
resses, and she dclared, with her usual
superiority, that she would m ranee
my marriage.
"You must nmtry, iou kno v, Bob.
It's the best thing lor a. man But jou
must to marry thit ou will not be
mlseiable afttrward."
"Oh. bother maniagc," said ; "I
haven't time for that. '
"Yod'e been in love several times."
"I rot ccr it both tlmea in a couple
of months." said I.
"You might hae been caught," said
my mother, putting on her glasses and
looking mo over critical! she looks
like Justice with those glasses on.
"You are not In loe now, Robert?"
"Iet me consider," suld I. "No;
don't think I am."
"I have decided on the girl," she said.
"What have I to say about it?" said
X.
"You will be pleased, of course. It's
Bailie Pentland. She has beauty, dis
tinction, money."
"Oh, money be hanged!" I cried.
"Robert," my dear mother said, se
verely, "jou forget jourself."
"Oh, I'm sorry," said I, "but I'm
getting tlrd of being considered a
kind ot wild animal with n lot of hun
tersor rather hunti esses at my
heels. Now, I say, such maternal man
agement never turns out well In the
stories and novels."
"The stories and novels are not life.
They are responsible for a lot of de
lusions. Now Saltle "
"She has beauty, distinction, money.
What do we want of money?"
She is a cry nice glil. I never
found that money made a girl any
worse Bob. On the contrary, to gle
a girl who never h2 known money
some all at once, she likely loses her
head Those are usually the unfortun
nate manlages."
"Yes they may be," said I; "and I
grant jou Sallle Is a nice girl."
"Oh, well, what's the use ot talking
about it, Robeit 1 hae decided to
hae jou out of danger's way before
I die. While I live it's my duty to
you to join pooi, dear father to look
after jour fortune"
Bless me' the was alwajs looking
after my fortune Such dear, good
mothers with the best Intentions
often turn fellows to lclousness. But
I never had an strong Inclination that
way.
Salllo and I were thrown together
constantly. And she Is a tremendously
nice girl, you know You raiely meet
a nicer. It's not so easy aftei all to

AFTEIt YOUR FOItTUNE."
nnd a tremendously nice slrl; they are
usually when nice, only Just nice, nut
you don't care for girls, Tom; ou make
a mistake, old man I can tell you.
Yet when a girl's thrown at a fel
low's head h doesn't often fall In love
with her; nor did Sallle care so much
for me, as I found out. For one day
she went sttaleht to tho point.
"It seems, Bob, tirnt our families are
trying to many us"
"Now, I don't know that I shall ob
ject," said I She did look very pretty
that moment.
"Well, I do," said Sallle.
"I think we might get on very well
together." I retorted.
"Yes, we might." sho said, tapping
her hoot heel on the iloor reilectlvely.
"It mltrht be wotse "
"I hopo you think so, Sallle for my
vanlty'B Bake," said I. "I like horses.
You like horses. I know what a man
should wear, and I declare no woman
In New York la ever better gowned
than you. You know how to entertain.
You would, in short, make a fellow
very, very proud, Sallle."
"Is this a proposal, Bobble?"
"Yes," said I, looking her over.
"Well, Bobble, I refuse you, d'ye
hear? and I hope It will break your
heart."
Now, that Isn't nice to refuse me,
Sallle."
"But they'll keep on throwing us to
gether," said she, "You can hflp me
out a bit. The fact Is I can't tell you.

tending, that you are refused by me
for nil time."
"What's the game, Sallle another
man?"
"Oh, bother; do ou suppose I would
tell jou If theie was? It's because 1
want It so.'
"All right," mid I. "Its a go." And
we kept on pretendlnj,, and I getting
all the time tather Interested In Sallle.
Now one morning v.nen I leached the
oltlce, Jobson, the head clerk, said to
me ns I sat over the mall.
"MIes Ralph goes today, sir." Jllss
Ralph was the stenogiapher.
"Got another?" said I.
"There's been a hundred and seven
applicants. I've about decided on one.
She's tccommended by the pastor of
Tun SMOKING PISTOL
my chutch." JobSon Is a very serious
elderly man, an Invaluable accountant.
"The only trouble, Mr. Metrlvale, Is
that she's rather pretty."
I looked up. "Now didn't I toll you,
Jobson, that I didn't want her to be
pietty. It distracts one's attention"
' Yes, sit, I know," Jobson put In.
"I'tetlncs In a stenographer some
times spoils the contlnultj of an 1m
pottant letter."
Ye., I would, In fact, dictate to a
phonogiaph. If the dictation would he
corrected. But corrections bring In the
stenographer again."
"Oh, there are others," said Jobson,
"Only I want to please Mr. Smythe,
who recommended her, and ihe's very
quiet and ladvllke "
"Is she out theie?"
"Yes, sir."
"Show her In. I'll look her ovei and,
decide."
And I burled myself In the mall
again. The door shut, an J o; -ned.
"Take a chair," said I. Ten minutes
must have passed before I remembered
that was a vety Impoitant letter;
but still studvlng It, and without look
ing up, I temembered, and said:
"What's joui name?"
"Clnil&sa Henlow," said one of the
prettiest voices I ever have heatd. I
looked up In some burprlse the voice
&o expresses a woman, pnd this
seemed to me the voice of one of the
manor born She was still standing, a
young girl, not moie than eighteen,
with a thin, plqpuant face, framed with
dark, brown hair, and expressed by
laise, ilnik e3, which se -med to have
mat mome.it an expression of merrl
n rut that .surtduilj turned to sious
re??. "I beg your pardon; I was so busy
with the mall." I stammered. "Do take
a chair. Mr. Jobson says your are
highly hecommended."
"It was very good of Mr. Smythe;
ho Is our minister."
"You know nbout copying?"
"I have had three months' experi
ence with Wolf & Stern."
"Ah, they failed; that threw you out
of n position."
"Yes, sir."
"I shall bo very glad to have you
tty it, Miss Henlow," I said. What in
the world had become of my objection
to a pretty girl? What would Jobson
think' But then If she were efficient,
that, after all, wasn't a reasonable ob
jection. Jobson thought she would
do; his opinion should bo sufficient.
"If you will be here tomorrow at
nine-thirty, wo will begin," I said. "I

usually have about thirty letters at
that hour."
"Thank you much, Mr. Merrlvale,"
she said, rising. "Good morning, sir."
"Good morning, Miss Henlow."
"Now," said I to mjself, "I don't
lll'o the way she says 'sir.' It sounds
too son lie for her." And I went Into
rnv mall again, to hear Jobson's voice
over my shoulder.
"It's nil right, Mr. Merrivalo? Her
prettlness was no objection?"
"An objection, of course, Jobson," I
said, severelj'. "But you recommended
he.' so highly that I overlooked that "
The next morning I found Miss Hen
low awaiting, pencil and notebook In
hand. She looked nbomlnably pretty
and now that her hat was off, her hair
was remarkably fine, and her hands
very pretty nnd slender.
"You are prompt," I remarked.
"Yes, sir."
"Please don't say 'sir,' " I Inter
rupted, Irritably.
"Oh, I beg your pardon," she began
with a little blush, which made mo
frel uncomfortable.
"You know I'm not your superior
socially," I went on feeling very fool
ish. 1 declaro I never felt more fool
ish In my life. Sho said nothing.
"Now, here's the first letter," I be
gan. The words went on; I rattled oft
a dozen. "That will do for tho pres
ent." A half hour passed. Sho returned
with the letteis, which were very well
done.
"I meant," said I, wheeling nround
In my chnh, "that of course I am jour
emplojei thnt Is, Merrivalo & Co. are,
but that's all But you see I'm not
so verj' old." The explanation ended
rather lumely. Miss Henlow Just said,
"Are they correct, Mr. Merrlvale?"
LAY ON THE TLOOR.
"Quite so," I said. "H'm, you are
not a New Yotker?"
"No. a Vitginlan."
"I thought vou spoke dlftctently from
us."
' I believe there Is .1 slight difference
In the accent," sho said. "Ate thftc
anv moie letters? I beg pardon, but
Mr. Jobson "
"Yes, there aie more. Let Mr. Jobson
wait."
As I went uptown that night I re
flected that the new stenogtaphev had
a eertaln admirable reserve. "Sh will
do," said I .
1 was the mon immersed with the
fact that she would do the next dav,
and still more the next. In fact, I be
came quite cutlous, about her, and, be
ing unable to dttect her talk In any di
rection but purely business ohmnt'K
I lnqulted of Jcbson. He told m- that
she lived with her mother In a boarding
house on Eighth stteet; that her fa
ther had been a Confederate colonel,
killed at Appomatto.
"Oil, I se"," said I, but I found myself
looking on Miss Henlow with tome re
newed Interest.
"Ah," said I, one day, "you find copy
ing entirely congenial?
"I can make more money at It than
an thing else "
"You've tiled something else, per
haps?" ' Am I not satisfactory, sir?" she be
gan, teers in her eyes.
"Oh, quite, quite," 1 hastened to say.
"I was Just curious vou know. I think
it line for a w oman to be abla to earn
money. Some of them do so much bet
ter than tho men."
"Any more letters, Mr, Mcirlvalo?"
she said, looking down. You Know It
was n.s If she were cotrectlng me.
One Sunday I pas3Jd her on lower
Fifth avenue. She made a pretty little
bow, while a tall, rather gawky, ted
halied )oung man Jtired savagely
"That fellow has no bublnp.ss to bo
walking with her," said I; 'She's his
superior." And then I fell to laugh
ing over my vagailes. I thought I
would tell them to Sallle PentUnd, but
I didn't, which was queer, Salllo sd ap
preciated a joke. But the net day I
said to Miss Henlow: "I saw you yes
tcrda) on the avenue "
"Yes, Mr. Merrlvale; yes."
"Now, I thought I knew tho gentle
man. I like to place people, you know."
"Oh, he's on the Street In a banking
office. He's a Mr. Samuel Sladdlng
He's in our boarding house "
"Ah, yes," said I, "m your boarding
house. We will begin, Miss Henlow"
She looked at me quickly, and I fan
cied her face flushed, "Yes," she said
I made no more personal Inquiries
after that, and some months passed;
she was alwa)s there, always demuro
and Interesting, and now gowned with
a eertaln deft simplicity; for I had
told Jobson to increase her salary.
Then that happened which changed
tho whole situation.
One morning about eleven, I think, I
was dictating to Miss Henlow, when
Jobson appeared.
"He's hero again, sir. Ho won't gp
'away."
"What docs he say he wanU?"
"Something about Arizona property.
Griffith Is his name, if you don't re
member." "Show him In."
The door opened. My back was
turned. I heard tMIss Henlow rise, and
then suddenly a voice rang out like a
clarion:
"You won't Tuln any more corpora
tions!" Before I could turn It all must have
been In an Instant a pistol nhu deaf
ened me. Springing up, I saw Miss
Henlow struKRllnc with a tall, cadav-
erous person, who flung her In a heap
on the floor. The smoking plBtol lay on
tho floor. I noted these details ns I
threw myself on the gibbering crea
ture. But almost as soon as I was on
him tho clerks from the outer offlco
were assisting me nnd had htm pin
ioned. "A crank!" cried Johnson, shrlllv.
But I was leaning overho girt on the
floor. She looked vety silent, and very
beat'llful, too, at that moment. I lift id
her up nnd bore her to the couch.
"She saved your lite," said Jobson;
"sho knocked down the man's hand Just
ns ho fired."
"I know, I know," I said; "and -she's
dead."
But tit that moment hr-r eyes opened;
a ellght color How over her face; she
straightened herself up.
"I think I fainted; It was very fool
ish of me," she said.
All tho clerks but Jobson had fol
lowed the prisoner.
"Bring some water, Jobson. And or
der a cab for Mis? Henlow."
"I thought ot tho water," ho said,
stepping forward.
"It's very good of you; thank you so
much. I shan't need tho cab."
"You saved mv life," 1 said.
"Anybody would have don It," sho
said. "The water makes me feel bet
ter. But ah, thank yon, Mr. Moirl
vale. I will take the cab, I boll.ve."

An authority on tho subject gives a

that polnttd toes give rise to much buf

flat one, that Is a supr"rt to the foot
and not a hindrance to walking. Whero
the onkles are weak, boots nhould be
worn lather than shoos, as the former
give much more support. Great care
must be taken that the heels of the

To keep the feet In perfect health,
they must be well washed every day

should cut the nails after your feet

of Diaz is planting through the length

note the perfect mania to have them
and to have them of the best.
Every state capital has its free pub

the state earnestly follows Its lead. In
every state there are noimal schools,
generously endowed by the government
for the fit ttalnlnz of these teaehers,
and the attendance Is encouragingly
large. There are also countless Indus
trial schools, art schools, professional
schools and the like', not to mention the
host of private schools, of which some
are entirely admirable. The teaching
of religion In public schools Is abso
lutely prohibited. "That," President
