A boy whom she knows only as "Joe Grant," but who is really Joseph Grant McKenzie Merrill, son of the owner of the "Mack,". is learning the business, by starting at the bottom. He doesn't like the job until he meets Maggie. And neither of them realizes that they are falling' in love with each other, at first. Joe is impressed, by Maggie's intelligence and goodheart- edness, and gives her advice ou the subject nearest her heart, how to live the ideal life. She makes a sugges- tion for a better way of selling cer- tain lines. He tells his father, as if it were his own idea, greatly pleasing the old man. He finds that the girls he used to know don't interest him as much as Maggie does, and when Maggie discloses her love in a burst of jealousy, he realizes that he loves her, too. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Her face burned, her hands were icy, her confused mind was only a blur, and her heart one heavy, unen- durable ache. It had been pretty bold of her to question him, to rebuke him about Paula Younger. After all, it was his affair. Her thoughts burned, stung, writh- ed together. The one unbearable thought was that the half -past five o'clock whistle would sound, and Murphy begin to close the big jointed iron grills against the world, and that she would have to go home—what THOMAS FELLS AUCTIONEER REAL ESTATE SOLD A thorough knowledge of Farm Stock Phone 231, Wingham RICHARD B.

I wish I was dead, What'll I do? I can't ever, look him in the face again." She was standing at an angle of the jewellery counter that was placed in a sort of niche between columns. Suddenly she knew that a tall, lean man was loeinging on the counter be- side her, his shoulder almost touch- ing her own. "Still mad at me?" It was Joe's voice:, "Joe—" Her voice wouldn't come. "Joe, don't be mean to me," she said in a low tone, holding her words steady, not raising her eyes, "Was I mean to you, Maggie?" "Of •course—of course you're •not, Joe! It's just that I'm -I'm an idiot! It's none of my business who you lunch with—and I'm sorry I—blew tip " "It is your business, if you care, Maggie," he said, nicely, kindly even a little gruffly. "But I am going not to care." Joe experienced a queer little twinge of pain. She looked so small, so weary, so exquisitely pretty in this soft light, and she was such 'a loving little thing! "Inn glad we're friends again," he said awkwardly. "Yes, I am too." "I couldn'tof stood it," she con- fessed. The other employees of the Mack were streaming through the side door when Maggie came flying up from the locker room. Joe was lingering at the top of the stairs, "I thought I'd walk with you to the corner." 'Oh, that's grand. Which way do you go, Joe?" "Down past the city—out on the Elmingdale road." t! agave-. .-nalueeseetwereeeteeritieene'e —.n...a., ���. -tsxvits ^ '�^•,'.y3r _�....::::-.,�... His big arm held .her tightly ... "J -j -Joe Grant" she said, breath - nasty. a, ., - -TMesere'-., �= �` -'" ^ "'' else could she do?—heartbroken and alone, and bear the week -end with Joie "mad" at her. He had already been elevated to the offices, which were placed in a position of some dignity and seclus- ion, on a mezzenaine deck at the far rear of the store. Sometimes, when a customer had brought in a defective article, Mag- gie had to guide her upstairs, to the window marked "Complaints," and once or twice other errands had tak- en her to the offices. But she had no excuse to -day. She turned the knob of the glass door rather timidly, and saw Joe standing at the window in the back of the room, with Simmonds, a buy- er, both intent upon the inspection of some sort of material. "What is it?" Simmonds asked sharply, "Excuse me," Maggie faltered, "but is Miss Pope up here?" Simmonds came towards her. And Joe—as she saw with a sinking heart —casually turned away and began to study a bloated, bursting book of "swatches." "Was Miss Pope up here?" Sim- monds asked. "Miss Pope,' Joe said, in a quiet voice, " is downstairs in the music department." Maggie's face was very red, she looked only at the 'older. man, "I didn't see here there," she said thickly. And somehow she got herself out of the glass door again, and somehow flew down the stairs, and was fever- ishly busy instantly with a large card- board box of lockets and chains, in the jewellery department. And all the while her heart pound- ed as if it would hammer her to pieces, and her shamed thoughts al- most suffocated her, "He .knew I went up there to talk to hiin—what'll he think I am! He didn't want to speak to me at all-,- and I bluffed that Miss Pope was tip there -lie seen -right through mel He saw right through me, Oh, 1 with 1 was dead! 1 can't have hien thinking "Then you want the Ten car."- His arm was under her elbow, and she gave him once more the delicious sensation of nearness, confidence and sweet smallness and youth. He had never seen her so delicious- ly pretty, so small and loving and en- chanting. She could hardly keepher little feet on the. ground. Tired? Depressed? Hungry? Not when Joe Grant, tall and lean and 'protective and most appreciative, was beside her, was guiding her along the fight- ed street. Her walk was a combination of jump, bounce, and dance step. Joe had to laugh sympathetically at the laughing face, the eager eyes that de- manded his sympathy. "This is my corner, Joe." His steps had been quite autornati- cally turned toward that particular quiet block where he had parked his roadster. They were close to the handsome, low -slung car now. "Here's some feller left his road- sten here," Joe said, "You'd wonder he'd have any busi- ness in this neighborhood," the girl innocently commented. "How far away do you live, Mag- gie?" "Oh, not so far. Pop and I walk it every morning. 'Bout --I think it's thirteen blocks." Joe had palmed his'key, "Want me to rust you home in this car?" "I get so sick of my automobile, it's a treat to me to walk!" Maggie assured him. She was horrified when he slipped into the machine, and chal- lenged her cheerfully, "Joe Grant, get out of that car! D'you want to be sent to jail?" "Oh, come an, get iri, Maggie --- don't be so searry." "But, Joe, isn't it locked?" "Nope. Key right herd Get in, Maggie, and—listen! I'll bring it back to the other end of the block and let him hunt for it awhile, to teeth him a lesson about forgetting to lock it!" "Joe, you could be sent to jail for that l" "Oh, come on - e t won't take' five minutes!" In the end, she yielded,. "Maggie, how'd you like to own a car like. this, and have a big, fluffy white fur coat, and be riding along here this way—down to Elmingdale, or the Westbeach Arens, or one of those fashionable places?" "Joe, b'leeve me, I've seen girls do both ways, and there's nothing in let- ting fellers buy you coats and take you out riding. You don't mind being poor, do you, Joe?" she asked an- xiously. "Don't you?" "I? Why, but what else would I be?" she demanded blankly. "Don't you ever think of yourself as rich, with beautiful clothes, and a maid, and a big, comfortable room?" He glanced sideways. think of myself, as straight," she said briefly, "Anyway, we're pretty near living the ideel life now, and my father says that all day long he thinks about— our house, and how nice and shady and quiet the kitchen is, andall the new dish towels—" "We're getting out, of debt, and ev- en Liz said it was some comfort to come home to our house now -and she s-s-said—Liz said—thats-s-she—" "Maggie! For heaven's sake! What are you crying about?" "Be-because—because they said I did it, Joe! Evert Ma said that I made them all conmfortabler--and happier—and it—it makes me cry .to have them love me so!" He abruptly ran the car into the curb, and stopped it there, and put. his arms about her, and tipped up her. face. "Nov, look here, stop it. Stop this bawling right away, or you'll have me crying, foo." His big arm held her tightly, .jam- med against him, and her bewildered, ecstatic, tear -stained little rosy . face wasclose to his own. "J -J -Joe Grant! she said breath- lessly.. "Maggie Johnson! You've known this was coining, haven't you?" "J -Joe Grant!" "Surprised?" "No -but -but -I guess -maybe I' thought—" "Go on. Don't thought what?" "I thought you. ding me along." It as at this juncture that for a terrible moment Joe Grant- disappear- ed from his own consciousness for a few seconds, and the Joseph Merrill who was a truant from college, who belonged to the same world as this smart roadster, took his place. To play the part was all very well insomuch; as it concerned only him- self. But here was this'. bewildering little madcap armful of passionately earnest femininity in his arms, her tear -soaked lashes almost touching his cheek, her whole being only too obviously ready to yield itself td his guardianship forever. His big arm held. her tightly . , , "J-J-JOe Grant" she said, breath- lessly.

When he spoke, his tone and man- ner had subtly altered. "Why shouldn't 1 kid you along?" he said. "You're too touch of a kid, yourself, to get mixed up in love af- fairs!" She drew .herself up, fumbled in her bag for a handkerchief, wiped her eyes quite openly, and said, in a com- posed, cold voice: "You must• drive me home, Joe. My father and mother'll be wild if I'm late." "Maggie -listen. Don't take that tone!. You know how much.I like 'you—I've got to stop this; I've got to stop this, I'm to fool if I don't. stop this," he added in his heart. "Why, you're not eighteen-yqu're a little girl!" "I'm eighteen to -morrow, and I'm not a :little girl at all," she said, with swift dignity. "Eighteen! Why, what would your father think if you married at eight- een!" Joe protested. "Damn it -and damn me for a fool!" he ejaculated: "Now I've said it! This is the first time thatword has come into our conversations, and I'mthe one that introduced it." Maggie cleared her throat. "I've had a great deal of responsi- bility in my life, and there is nothing so developing to the character as re- sponsibility," she began. "Since I was ten year old, I've been tryin' to earn a little an' spend a little less, to bear wrongs patiently. Pop says he's aLways been anxious to live the ide-al life, too, but he never thought. it could be done on a postman's sal- ary." "Listen, Maggie. Listen, dare ling—" "Since' Christmas," she went on, "it's been♦ you, Joe. Everything ~I done -everything I've done," she cor- rected it, "has been done because I was thinkin' of you." Hew caught her small agitated hands and held them tightly, "Maggie, just be quiet, dear. There is no need for you to get so excited and upset. Listen, dear, I like you immensely. I think you have snore character than any girl I ever knew. I wouldn't give up your friendship for anything in the world. But you are only a little girl, Maggie, you're going to have a dozen, beaus before you pick out the man you want to marry." He winced, interiorly. "I hope our friendship—" "I know, Joe. I know. That's you. That's your side of it. But 1 was ta!kin' about me." She caught at his lapel with a small bare hand, and raised' her beautiful, wistful,. childish eyes. He laughed suddenly, boyishly. "Ah, Maggie! You little idiot!" And this kiss was a : different kiss. The little figure rested against his breast, the little hand was crushed against his heart, and the fragrant soul of her seemed to be drawn through her fresh, half -opened lips. Then they talked, Maggie's hand locked in his, her head • resting lux- uriously against his shoulder. "I'm getting thirty-five a week, Mary Margaret. And I'm not going to have my wife world" "Oh, Joe—I'll die -to hear you say 'my wife!'" "That's about—one forty a month."

Each servant was to . buy and sell, using discretion and enterprise, thus en- larging as much as possible the mon- ey entrusted to him, But his citizens hated him. No wonder the Jews hated Archelaus, for. he made a terrible massacre at the very beginning of his reign. And sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign ov- er us. We know from Josephus that. the Jews did send an . embassy of fif- ty to Augustus—who were met on: their arrival at Rome by eight thous- and Jews -to recount the 'cruelties, of Archelaus and plead for deliverance for him and the Herods generally. Although not immediately successful, the embassy was one of thecircum- stances which led to his ultimate de- position. And it came .to pass, when he was come back again, having received the. kingdom. When the nobleman in the parable returns (v. 27), he commands his enemies, those who have refused to obey him, tb be slain' in his pres- ence. The fulfilment of this judge- ment, as far as the Jews were con- cerned, took place in the siege and fall of Jerusalem. Thathe command- ed these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to'hinm There is a time of accounting for all, onlyas we do" our best from dayto' day, with Christ's help, are we ready for his judgment which is sure to come. That he might know what they had gained by trading. This is the test always, what we we have done with what God had given us—not what others have accomplished with their possibly greater gifts and op- portunities, but what we have accom- plished in the place where God has set us and with the gifts he has giv- en us, THE FAITHFUL STEWARDS. And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more. The statement is. made modestly, as if the servant had: had nothing to do with the matter, but the money had increased itself. But in reality 'he has been constant. in his watchfulness for opportunities,. quick' to see them as they have been offered, and untiring in his labors to, secure his end. And he said unto : hiin, Well done, thou good servant. The king was to give, a vast material reward, but he- gives the spiritual reward first in his. commendation. Christ blesses his. faithful servants in many material` ways,' but their chief joy is 'his ap- proval, and the fellowship with him which results from willing service.,' Just to' hear these words from the. lips of the Saviour will be worth all' thrones and crowns. Because thou. wast found faithful in a very little. The least duties must be hallowed by the Christian aim. Have thou auth- ority over ten cities. The man that- puts hatputs his money to good use, get both more capacity to gain and more - gains. And the second cafime, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds. The achievement of the man with two talents was equally praiseworthy with that of the man with ten tal- ents for each had gained a hundred per• cent. - on his trust. But in the parable' we are now studying, the first man had gained one thousand per cent., while the second lead .gained. but five hundred. The gain in both cases is large, and readily wins pop- ular applause. Neveretheless, the gain of this second roan, large as it is when considered of itself does not represent complete' faithfulness. It was possible to realize a thousand per cent,, and he has earned but five, hundred per cent. The first, there- fore, represents the limit of possib- ility, through untiring service, the se- cond, easy-going mediocrity. W. E.
