But neither Miss Elkins nor Mr. Berlin
knew what Miss Minster was perfectly
well aware of—that the grease spot was
caused by the careless handling down of
the oil can of the carpenter who was
loosening a hinge on the counter door.
«If you're going to discharge any of
the ‘young women in my department,”
said Mise Minster to Mr. Yardley, the
acting member of the firm of Yardley &

<1 She ain’t worth her salt.”
Eh?’ said Mr. Yardley, who was not
without perceptive powers of ‘his own,
and who had been rather favorably im-
pressed with the blue-eyéd novice ini the
white goods department.
¢] cannot quite agree with Miss Min-
ster,” said a calm voice behind the acid-
tongued Superintendent. ‘So far as
my judgment goes, Misf Elkins is an
excellent clerk, and is constantly im-
proving in all respects.”
And Miss Minster looked around with
a startled air.
‘Contrary toher expectations, Eda was
retained, and by means of the machinery
of gossiping tongues, that belongs to
every such establishment, she soon
learned through whose beneficent agency
it was.
tHe has been so kind to mel” she
thought. ‘Oh, I wish—I wish I could
do something for him! But that never
could be possible.” ee
Eda was just bexinning to be reckoned
‘among Messrs. Yardley & Yardley’s first-
class Saleswomen, when one day a letter
arrived at Mrs. Timson’s humble door
for her. f :
A distant cousin on the Canada
frontiers was dead, and there was no:

wooded and watered, and containing a

But not until Mr, Yardley, on his re-
turn from Japan, stopped a day or two
4t Six Rivers, to view the famous cas-
cade there, did Walter Berlin ever dis-
cover Eda’s sweet plot.
“1%” said Mr. Yardley, pushing his
spectacles on the very apex: of his bald
head. “Thanking me for the present
of this house and farm? Why; man
alive, I had nothing to do with it!”
Berlin looked across at Eda. Sudden
color suffusad her cheeks. If ever in-
nocent guilt betrayed itself in a woman's
pure face, it was now,
© Why, of course!” said Scratchall
(who had been invited to dine at the
farm to meet the traveler from Japan),
answering the look on Berlin's face. “I
wonder you never suspected it before.”
“Dear little conspirator, was it yout”
said he. 7 i 5
And there was nothing for it but for
Eda to confess and receive absolution on;
the spot. .
Zaita Bhandee, the Irish soothsayer
with the Hindoo name, was right. The
line of love had prophesied correctly,
and Eda was happy with the ‘‘dark man
