was that this was Joan. Derrick's de-
scription made her sere. There was nut

her decision iu a moment. She stepped
acro the grana to the hedge with •
ready anile.

Juan held out her hand, bud te,ok the
dowers, holding them awkwardly hut
with tenderness.
"Oh, thank yo'," she said. "It's kind
u' yo to gi' 'em away."
"It's s picture to nue," said ;uiee,
picking out • delicate pink hyacinth.
"Here's a hyacinth." Then as Joan
took it their eyes met. "Are you Joan
Lowry. 1" asked the girL
Jon lifted her head.
"Aye," she answered, "I'm Joan
Lowrie...
"Ah," said Anise, "then I am very
gam.'
They stood on the same level from
that moment. Something as 'ndescrib-
able as all else in her manner, had done
for Attica just what she had simply and
seriously desired to do. Proud and
stubborn as her nature was, Joan was
subdued. The girl's air and speech were
like her song. She stood inside the
hedge still, in her white drew among the
flowers, looking just as much as if she
had been born there as ever, but some
fine part of her had crossed the boundary.
"Ah ' then I am glad of that," she
said.
"Yo' are •'ery good to say as much,"
she answered; "but I dunnot know as I
understand—"
Anice drew a little nearer.
"Mr. Grace has told me about you,"
she said. "And 11r. Derrick."
Juan's brown throat raised itself s
trifle, and Anice thought colour showed
itaeIf on her cheek.
"Both on 'em's been good to me," she
said, "but I did rut think as—"
Anice stopped her with a little gesture,
"It was you who were so kind to Liz
when she had no friend," she began.
Joan interrupted her with sudden
eagerness.
"It our yo' as sent th' work and
things fur th' choild," she said.
"Yes, it was I," answered Atiioti.
"But I hardly knew what to send. I
hope I sent the -i;ht things, did I?"
"Yea, miss; thank ye'." And then in
a lower voice, "They wur a power v'
help to Liz an' me. Liz wur bard beset
then, an' she's only a young thing as
thank yu' "
In averse of lines, however, he acci-
dentally discovered that there had been
occasions when, notwithstanding her ap-
parent ungraciousness, she had everted
her iudueued inis behalf.
The older coolers resented his youth,
the younger ones his authority. The
fact that he was "noon Lancashire"
worked spinet him tot, though even if
he had been • Lanceahire titan, he would
not have been likely to find overmuch
favour. It was enough that he was "one
u' th' mestere." To have been weak of
will, or vacillating of purpose, would
have been death to every vestige of the
authority vested in him; but he was as
strong mentally as physically—strnng-
willed to the verge of stubburnes. But
if they could not frighten or subdue
him, they could still oppose and irritate
him, and the contention was obstinate.
This feeling even influenced the girls
and women at the "mouth." They,
ton, organised a petty rebellion, annoy-
ing if not powerful.
"I think yo' will find as yo' may as
well leave th' engineer be," Joan would
say dryly. "Yo' will na fear him mach,
an' yo'll tire yo'rsens wi' yo're clatter.
I donna see the good o' barkin' so much
when yo' canna bit.."
"Aye," jeered one of the boldest,
once, "leave th' engineer he. Joan seta
a power u' store by th' engineer."
There was a shout of laughter, but it
died -out when Joan confronted the

always ready to break the rule. I sus-

"Joan's father?" exclaimed Anice in
distre...
Derrick made a gesture of sasent.
"lite is the wont num in the mines,"
he said. "The matt with the wont in-
fluence, the matt who can work twat if
he will, the man whose feeling against
my authority is the strongest, and whims

"Against yuu i But why i"
"I suppose because I have no liking
for him myself, and because I will have
orders obeyed, whether they aro my or-
der or the orders of the owners, I will
have wurk done as it should be dune,
and I will not be frightened by bullies."
"But if he is a d•ngerour man--"
"Ho would knock rue down trona be-

to feel vicious enough at the time," said
Derrick. "But his mood has not quite

us eould thrash the other at the outset,

Derrick clung most tenaciously. During
s two years' sojourn amo4tg the Belgian
mines, he hod studied the system ear-
nestly. He had worked hard to intro-
duce it at Riggan, and meant to work
still harder. But the miners were bit-
terly opposed to anything "new -fang -
led," and the owners were careless. Sd
that the miners were worked, and their
profits made, it did not matter for the
rent. They were used to c&sueltiea, so
well used to thein in fact, that unless a
fearful loss of life occurred, they were
not alarmed or even- roused. As to the
injuries done to a man's health, and so
on—they had not time to inquire into
such things. Thera was danger in all
trades, for the matter of that. Fergus
Derrick was • young man, and young
men were fond of novelties.
opposition wee bad enough, but in-
difference wee far more baffling. The
colliers opposed Derrick to the utmost,
the oompsny was rather inclined to ig-
nore him --.rime members good-natured-
ly, others with an air of superiority, not
unmixed with contempt. The colliers
talked with rough ill -nature; the Com-
pany did not want to talk at all.
Joan spoke awkardly.
"Do ye' knew --happen yo' dunnot —
what Liz's trouble is ' Bein' as yore so
young t,-o'rsen, happen they did n& tell
yo all. Most n' toimes folk is apt to be
fend o such loikc es this little un o'
hers."
"I heard all the story."
"Then come if yo' loike,—an' if they'll
let ye', some ud think there wur harm i'
th' choild'e to'.ch. I'm glad ye' donna."
She did not linger much longer.
Anice watched her till she was out of
sight. An imposing figure she was—
moving down the reed in her rough mas-
culine garb—the msesis.. perfection of
her form clearly outlined against the
light. It sunned impossible that such s
flower as this could blossom, and decay,
and die out in such a life, without any
higher fruition.

..Business wen say that it is hard to find
buys who can be trusted to handle money.
They cannot withstand the temptation ;
and now -a -days, owing to various causes,
the temptations are stronger that former-
ly. Nine tenths of the °dice and errand
boys of to -day are holding positions of
trust made se by the necessities of busi-
ness, and they are the children, for most
part, of men whose stations in Life have
not shuwn then, the necessity of incul-
cating in their boys theprinciplesofstrict
business integrity. The boys themselves
unused to the luxury of spending money,
charmed by its fascinations, induced by
older companions sumeumes, are led to
petty thieving. The desire to spend is
.natural enough, and but few boys are
philosophical enough, and not to say
morally strove enough, by either nature
or training, to withstand the temptation
of availing themselves of the opportuni-
ties to steel small sums. Their home
training has not made them strong and
honest. The existence of this evil is sug-
gestive to parents who expect their chil
dren to enter the lobed place of mercan-
tile ; it is suegestire to parents who are
lavish of their money with their boys,
and it is suggestive to the business nen
who are, and are to be, dependent "n
help of this kird. It is not enough that
a buy "takes to" a business life ; ae in
any other science, he shuuld be instruct-
ed, and his instructor should he his em-
ployer, and his employer should be qual-
ified to instruct him. The elements of
business, and not the least among them
is integrity, should be taught him, and
taught him thoroughly, at home.
