HE three girls sat and stared al
one another in dismay.
The milkman had just driven away
from the gate. The rattle of his
wheels was still audible; and the eldest
of the three, the one with the apror
and the bunch of keys, faced the oth
ers with a countenance that was stil
pale from the conflict.
“To think of his impudence!” she
cried. “Did I ever imagine that a milk:
man would dare to sit in his wagor
and shout at us—absolutely shout—
and ask if we were ever going to pay
that bill?”
“Oh, it was awful!” moaned the gir:
with her elbows on the table and the
pen in her clasped hands.
“But still, you know,” said the curly: |
haired girl, with an air of conviction,
“we really ds owe him the money—
and maybe he doesn’t like to wait. You
never ean tell what milkmen think op
those subjects, What did you tell him,
Marian?”
“I told him we_xpected to have the
money in a few BB ys,” said Marian, of |
the apron and keys. “And so we do,
if—if any of Madge’s stories sell.”
A general groan went around the
group, and Madge sat with a frown on
her brow, biting the end of the pen-
staff.
“Abd surely some of them must
kell!” cried she of the curly locks, re-
turning to her sewing, ‘“Theycan’tall
miss!”
“And suppose they sell as ‘The Der-
eliet’ did?” said Madge, in her most
pessimistic tones. “That was accept-
ed more than a year ago, youremems
ber, to be paid for on publication—and |
it hasn’t been published yet.” |
“I hate these old magazines that |
don’t pay for a story till the author is |
dead from starvation,” grumbled Kate,
threading her needle with a jerk.
“They'd {eel nice if they had to bring
out that story some day, ‘By the Late |
Margaret Bertram’—but then just as|
likely as not they’d publish a lot of
praise of ‘the promising young author,
whose career was cut short in the very
beginning,” and so on. But I'd rather |
have encugh money td pay the milk-
man than to have columns of post-
”

mortem praise.
“But, oh, Madge, that last story was
so good!” eried Marian, the hopeful.
“Somehow, I feel almost sure it will
be accepted.”
“I know it was a good
plied Madge, half musing. “I felt as
thcugh my very life were going into |
that story. It seemed almost to write
itself. There was strength in it, dnd
courage, and inspiration. And yet—I |
think it will come back.”
And even while the others protested
came the postman’s whistle, and there |
were four large envelopes for
Margaret Bertram, inclosing fou: @e- |
jected manuseripts; and among them |
was the story which had writtea it
self.
The three shrinking girls sg
looked at one another, and sej

will never be serious again.” e
4nd so it came to pass that when
the milkman drove up to make sar-
castie remarks to them-ladies-as-they-
call-themselves- what-don’t-pay-their-
| bills, he found his bill paid and him-
sell dismissed with a celerity that gave
him much room for painful thought;
and the landlord’s little-matter-of-rent
was settled so graciously that he vol
untavily put a new lock on the back
door ard mended the front steps.

Then for some bewildering months
Madge found herself going irresistibly.
along with {he current. She wrote ir
the new style with a fatal facility, and
her work found a market so readily
that there was no time for thought
There were no-longer any small, irri
tating debts to vex the souls of the
young gentlewomen, and all three of
them were able to have wraps as the
cold weather came on. How long they
had gone without!—and had pretended
with airy laughter that they found the
weather really oppressive when they
were half frozen. Tradesmen who had
{ been rude became respectful—such a
promoter of courtesy is the reputation
of being in easy circumstances.
And Madge had letters from this and
that magazine, asking for her picture
and a sketch of her life. Critics ~om-
mented on the amusing character of
her work, and even found in it a won-
derful depth of philosophy and a sur.
prising knowledge of human nature.
She was invited to become a member
of literary societies and press clubs.
Young editors of new-fledged maga-
zines besought her to furnish articles
for the opening numbers—something
bright and catchy—something in the
style of “Ma’ Jane’s Quiltin’,” or “The
Ghost Jim Saw.”
“Oh, how my ambitions have all been
wrecked!” she cried, piteously, one
day. “I know I an capable of better
work than this. I feel ashamed of all
this notoriety. I have degenerated in-
to a mere scribbler of comic sketches
—a kind of clown, whosg biisiness it is
to grin and prance and make fin
speeches, to keep #he people on the ~
benches amused.”
“Still, we pa.d the milkman,” said
Kate, suceing jly, looking up from her
work. cr
“And after awhile you will be able ta
go on with your real work,” added
Marian, hopefully.
“TY wonder if I ever can?” she mused,
wistfully. “I wonder if the world will
{ let me do it? Somehow, I am afraid
they will «refuse to let me wash off the
paint and be my real self.”
One evening she was tempted out
to some social function at the house
of a friend and there she met agertain
