"He's not our meal ticket!"
Annie Rooney's exclamation re
curred to Agnes Morley's mind as she
paused in front of the address en
graved on the card Hasbrook Bain
bridge had handed her.
She remembered, as she looked
fit the big apartment house, that
Mr. Bainbridge had told her he was
a rich man. He must have means
to live in this building.
She hesitated a moment before
entering. No, Mr. Bainbridge was
not what Annie Rooney had termed
the "meal ticket" of either of the
girls who had discussed him this
afternoon. But just now he was the
means with which Agnes Morley
could hire the trained nurse needed
by her aunt. She hated to liave to
depend upon any man for this i
money yet, how fortunate that
she could work for it!
After all, she reflected reassuringly,
she would be earning this sum, not 1
accepting It as a gift. The thought j
gave her courage to enter the wide j
lobby and cross to the elevator.
The liveried elevator boy looked at 1
her inquiringly.
"Mr. Bainbridge," sh< said briefly. I
"Are you expected?" the boy
queried.
The question brought a slight flush I
to her face. "I am,' ' she replied
coldly.
On the tenth floor the operator di- [
rected her to a door at the end of 1
the hall.
"E'even D," he said laconically. I
The descending car was out of sight!
by the time Agnes had pushed the but- 1
ton indicated. A man servant an- j
swered her ring.
"Mr. Bainbridge is expecting you,
madam." he said, before she could
speak. "Please come right into the
library."
A Pine Apartment
She had never been in a duplex
apartment before, and the elegance'
of all the appointmfer.-s made her
widen her eyes. It was like the inside |
of a house, she reflected as she saw
the mahogany railed staircase run
ning up from the square liall. The I
large room into which she was ushered j
was lined with breast-high book i
shelves. The rug covering the hard- [
wood floor was so thick that her j
feet seemed to sink into it. The!
furniture was upholstered in rich |
leather.
Above the bookshelves hung num- J
erous pictures in shadow now, as l
the only light that was burning!
was a shaded resting lamp on a
huge center table at which Has- j
brook Bainbridge sat reading. As|
his 1 servant addressed him, he j
sprang to his feet.
"All. Miss Morley, good evening!" j
he greeted her formally. "Thanks!
for being so prompt. We will get 1
right to work. Calvin." to the ser-1
vant. "show Miss Morley where she 1
can lay her hat and coat."
Without a word, Agnes went into |
the small ante-room to which Cal-
Coal Consumers
Are Blamed
For Present Shortage
There is undoubtedly a shortage of coal.
The mines aren't to blame. The miners aren't
entirely to blame.
That being true, the question is, what caused the
intense shortage?
The facts are that during the summer months the
miners were forced to close down often for a lack of
orders. The people were not buying coal.
Just what the idle time amounted to it is hard to
say. One thing is sure, however, very much
more coal could have been purchased last summer
than was purchased. If it had been bought it could
have been delivered.
The consumers did not buy coal when it
could be had. They may not get it when they
want it badly.,
It will be poor policy, this winter to wait until
cold weather to get your supply. Better order a
quantity at once.

MONDAY EVENING,
vin led her. She scarcely glanced at
the combination cloak and dressing
room, but, laying oft her hat and
jacket, and giving a hasty glance
into the mirror, returned to the
library where Bainbridge awaited
her.
"Here is a typewriter," her host
said.
He turned on the light in a hang
ing lamp on one side of the room,
and the radiance fell upon a small
rolltop desk which, when opened,
revealed a machine of the make to
which Agnes was accustomed.
"That is all X will need this eve
ning, Calvin," Bainbridge told his
man. "Leave a siphon of vicliy in
the icebox and glasses on the din
ing room table before you go out."
"Nothing else, sir?"
"Nothing else to-night," Bain
bridge told him. "Close the door
behind you when you go."
W T hen tho servant was out of ear
shot, Hasbrook Bainbridge resumed
the pleasant manner to which Agnes
had become accustomed of late.
Bainbridge 19 Genial
"Well, child," he said genially,
"this is nice, isn't it? Are you ready
to hear about your work, or shall
we have a little chat first? There
Is no hurry, you kno/."
"I want to know about the work,
please," Agnes replied.
She felt vaguely uncomfortable,
although she could not have ex
plained why. The man, noting this,
fell in at once with her mood.
The matter he wanted copied, he
told her, was many pages from an
old English book he had come
across recently, and which he had
been able to borrow for a few weeks.
"It is so valuable that I dare not
let it go out of the house to an or
dinary copyist," he explained.
"Moreover, I must be on hand when
the work Is being done, for some of
the old type is hard to decipher and
you will need to ask me about it."
"I see," she said.
She gazed at the book curiously.
The covers were of dark brown
leather, stained with age. The lan
guage in which it was written was
indeed, as her employer had said,
"old English."
"It looks like some of Chaucer,"
Agnes remarked.
Bainbridge glanced up in surprise.
"Do you know Chaucer?" he que
ried incredulously.
"We had htm at school, of course,"
she said gravely.
Did this man suppose that she
knew nothing of English literature?
Vet she was but his stenographer,
not his equal. The thought quieted
her nervousness and made her man
ner cold and practical.
"If you are ready for me to begin
T would like to do so at once," she
suggested. "I cannot stay much
over an hour this evening."
He made no demur, and she began
the typing. It was slow work, and
she wondered how many nights she
would have to come here before she
would finish the task assigned her.

TOUCHES OF FUR
MOST IMPORTANT
Winter Frocks and Coats Just
Must Have Fur Trimmings
Somewhere
By MAY MANTON
0206 (With Basting Line and Added
Seam Allowance) Dress with Applied
Box-Plaits for Misses and Small Wo
men, 16 and 18 years.
Fur trimming makes such an important
feature of the Autumn fashions that it
fairly cries out to be discussed. This
frock shows it used most successfully.
The dress is made of the wool gabardine
that is such a pronounced and deserved
favorite and the little belts that are
arranged at the waist line are very new and
very smart. Skirt and body portions are
made separately but are joined beneath
the belts. The box-plaits are applied, but
their edges are joined to the separate
edges of the skirt and they add to the
width while they give exceedingly be
coming lines to the figure. The model is
a charming one for the frock of silk, as
well as for the frock of wool. Taffeta
would be handsome and gros de Londres
is much used, and either silk poplin or
wool poplin would be smart. If wanted,
the fronts can be rolled open to give a
V-shaped neck.
For the 16 size will be needed, ?l<j
yards of material 27 inches wide, yards
36 or yards 44 or 54, with 5 yards of fur
banding; the skirt is 4 yards in width at
the lower edge.
The pattern No. 9206 is cut in sizes for
16 and 18 years. It will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Department oi

CHAPTER I.
A Sporting Proposition.
a gilt lettered door on
II II se venteenth floor of a New
IIfI York office building a tall
IMBJ young man in a fur lined coat
stood shivering.
Why did he shiver in that coat? He
shivered because he was fussed, poor
chap. Because he was rattled, from
the soles of his custom made boots to
the apex of bis Piccadilly hat. A pain
ful, palpitating spectacle he stood.
Meauwhile. on the other side of the
door, the business of the American
branch of that famous marine insur
ance firm, Boyd's of London—usually
termed in magazine articles "The
Greatest Gambling Institution In the
World"—went on oblivious to the shlv
erer who approached.
The shiverer, with a nervous move
ment, shifted his walking stick to his
left hand and laid his right on the
doorknob. Though he is not at his
best, let us take a look at him. Tall,
as has been noted, perfectly garbed
after London's taste, mild and blue as
to eye, blond as to hair. A handsome,
if somewhat weak face. Ycry distin
guished—even aristocratic—in appear
ance. Perhaps—the thrill for us dem
ocrats here—of the nobility. And at
this moment sadly in need of a gener
ous dose of that courage that abounds
—see any book of familiar quotations
—ou the playing fields of Eton.
Utterly destitute of the Eton or any
other brand, he pushed open the door.
The click of two dozen American type
writers smote upon his hearing. An
office boy of the dominant New York
race demanded in loud, indiscreet
tones his business there.
"My business." said the tall young
man weakly, "is Willi Boyd's of Lon
don."
The boy wandered ofr down that
stenographer bordered lane. In a mo
ment he was back.
"Mr. Thacker 'll see you,' he an
nounced.
Mr. Thacker sat in plump and genial
prosperity before a polished flat top
desk. Opposite him at a desk equally
polished sat an even more polished
young American of capable bearing.
For an embarrassed moment the tall
youth in fur stood looking from one to
the other. Then Mr. Thacker spoke:
"What can we do for you?" Mr.
Thacker was cold and matter of fact,
like a card index. Steadily through
each week he grew more business
like, and this was Saturday morning.
The visitor performed a shaky but
remarkable juggling feat with his
walking stick.
"I—well—l" he stammered.
"Oh, come, come!" thought Mr.
Thacker impatiently.
"Well," said the tall young man des
perately, "perhaps it would be best
for me to make myself known at once.
1 am Allan, Lord Harrowby, son and
heir of James Nelson Harrowby, earl
of Baybrook. And I—l have come
here"—
The younger of the Americans spoke
In more kindly fashion:
"You have a proposition to make?"
"Exactly," said Lord Harrowby and
sank, with a sigh of relief, Into a chair
as though that concluded his portion
of the entertainment.
'"Let's hear it," boomed the relentless
Ttaacker.
Lord Harrowby writhed in his chair.
"I am sure you will pardon me," he
said, "if I preface my—er—proposition
with the f.tatement that it is utterly
fantastic. And if I add also that it
should be known to the fewest possible
number."
Mr. ThacUer waved his hand acrost
the gleaming surfaces of two deaks,
"This is my assistant manager, Mr
Richard Mlnot," he announced, "Mr
Mlnot, you must know, is in on ull thi
secrets of the firm. Now, let's have it.'
"I am right, ,'un I not," his lordsltii
continued," in the naHinnptlou that youi
company frequently taken father uu
uy&! i\shs i
"Our company," answered Mr. Thack
er, "Is chiefly concerned with the for
tunes of those who go down to—anc
sometimes down into—the sea in ships
However, there are a number of non
marine underwriters connected with us
and these men have been known to risk
their money on pretty giddy chances
It's all done in our name, though tb
firm Is not financially responsible."
Lord Harrowby got quickly to hi.'
feet.
"Then it would bo better," he said
relieved, "for me to take my proposi
tion to one of these non-marine under
writers.''
Mr. Thacker frowned. Curiosity ngi
tated his bosom.
"You'd have to go to London to d<
that," he remarked. "Better give ui
an inkling of what's on your mind."
Ills lordsiip tapped uneasily at tli<
base of Mr. Thacker's desk with hi!
stick.
"If you will por-iam me—l'd rathe)

"Oh, very well,'' sighed i'-,. Thaeker
"How about Own Jephswn?" askec
Mr. Minot suddenly.
Overjoyed, Mr. Thaeker started up.

Mr. Minot set down he telephone
"Owen Jephsau Is on h'.s way here in t

"Good old Jephson." mused Mr
Thaeker. reminiscent. "Why, some oi

Jephson wrote a policy for the Dow

"I am encouraged to hope," remarket!
Lord Harrowby, "that Mr. Jephsor
will listen to my proposition."
"No doubt he will," replied Mr
Thacker. "I can't, say definitely.
Now. if I knew the nature"—
Rut . when Mr. Jephson walked intc

Thaeker was still lamentably ignoranl
of the nature of his titled visitor's
