The young man started to laugh, but
checked himeelf. when he saw displeasure
plainly visible in the girl's face.

; don't go," cried Denton eager-
ly, "Do let me explain. Of course you
.are asking me for the position of typewriter
—there is nothing funny about that, cer-
tainly, as you say. It is my own sitaation
that is funny. I get some work now and
, then from Brown and Ripley, but that is
really all I 'have to do,. and that isn't
much."
" Then 'I think'it very unkind of Brown
and Ripley to send me up her on a fool's
errand." Tears of Vexation came into the
girl's'fine eyes, 'netting them intoea tender,
pathetic beauty, which appealed to all the
chivalry in the young man's nature.
" No,

not to blame ; they didn't,' mean ant, un-

but me and I don't know that I am. Please
take thet chair for a few moments, and 1
will explain, for I don't want you to go
away with a wrong,impression against any-
one." -- -
Edith, seeing, hint very much in earnest,
eat down, and Denton took the chair by the
cluttered desk.
" You see, We are beth looking for work,
so there should be no emisappreheneion be-
tween us—we should in-sjny- way have some
sympathy for each other. My keeping you
waiting, and all thate'evas what might be
called pure bluff, the same with intent to
deceive. The plan is as old as the hills,
of course. Dickens had some of his young
men do the same thing, and young men will
keep on doing the same thing until human
nature changes. I assure you that if a
Chicago business man hapeiened to come in
here with some law work for me to do, he
would not have the least respect for me if I
did not keep him waiting. If he thought
that'his job was the only one I had had
that day, he .wciuld go away and give ie to
seme one too busy to attend to it. I don't
growl. It's the rules of -the game. Here
am I fully equipped for my. profusion. I've
got th,e stetutes of the State of Illinois a
my fingers' ends ; I would bring knowledge
and energy to bear on any piece of business
intrusted to fne, .yet I don't get the ijiess, except, a little of the overflow of such
1,
irons, as Brown and Ripley's and other suc
m •
int people like them, who -know I do the
ork well.
" Now, about typewriting. I ought to
have a typewriter; That's another curious
thing; people in Chicago have no respect
for a pcn•written letter ; .they regard it
merely as an indication that you can't af•
ford a stenographer, and so they have no
use for you. Pm tired writing letters with
my own hand and apologizing the my type-
writer is away or ill, or somethi g of that
sort. I feel that no one believe it. I've
bluffed Brown and Ripley on this nattor for
some. time, but the fraud will be liscovered
4tioner or later. That's vvhy the sent you
up here, and that's their_ first -step in find-
ing me eat; They've ten typewriters down
there, and they can't understand a man get-
ting along without -any." ,
"Then why don't you engage me? T

"I have really nothing much for you to

blushed and looked at the floor for a few
mo ents wit lout anewering. . 1
1 I am afraid 1 ami vtiry impracticable. 1
ko w little o' shorthand, but am trying to
learn. I am not eveln very export at the
typewriting yet."
"Where was your last situation ?"
_. "I never had a sitaation, That is why I
knew so little of the salaries paid,"
"Now, you won't mind 'my Speaking
plainly, will you? There isn't the remotest
chance of your getting anything to do in
Chicago in that line' until you have the
business literally andfiguratively at your
fingers' ends. I suppose you have a father
or mother to support, or both, and have
doubtless been used: to—to—easier times.
HURON EXPOSITOR
Ib doe's great credit this 'resolving to earn
something, and by-and-by, you will succeed,
but you must be fu4y-equipped first."
"1 heve no father or mether ; I have no
one to look after but myself, and I thought
I might be able to earn what money I need
ed, I have a little money, no I should not
want a salary for a while."
" You don't belong to Chicago, do you?'
"Whore are you staying ?"
"At the Grand Pacific."
"Good heavene I Paying four or five or
six dollars a day 1"
"My father ueed to stay there when he
came to Chicago, and 'I was with him on
several occasions. I didn't know where
else to go."
"Well, you gee, °ireumstances have
changed, and you must change with them.
It's hard, but Inevitable, And I assure you
not uncommon. Take Ripen, for instance.
Up to the time I was twenty -.I thought I
Was going to succeed to a fortune, but I
came into bankruptcy instead, Have you
any woman friend in town?"
1 "No. At least none that I should care
to go to."
111 understand the feeling. Well, now,
let me advise yen. I see the line you oughb
to take just as straight as a string. You
leave the Grand Pacific, at once, and get
some nice respeotable place where they will
ask yen les' for a week than the Grand
Pecifio will charge for a day. I'll send
Billy with you. He'll know the sort of
placea ' That boy knows everything; then
he con bring your machine right up hers. I
won't pay you any , salary, but then you
won't need to pay any office rent. There is
any amount of overflow typewriting to be
done right in this building, and as goon an
you get aootuitomed to the form of it, and
all that, you will get a share of the work,
and all you 01111 make you can keep. You
will do' letters and documents for me, and I
will teach you something of the way they
should be done. Then, by -and by., when
you have learned shorthand, you will be
ready for a situation ,anywhere, and I will
give you the highest recommendation that
can be put forth. That is always the first
question asked an applioant, Where have
you been working?' How does that plan—
what do you think of that outline ?"
"The only objection is thee toe much
favor is showalo me. .1 am willing to pay
my share of the office. -1 have mere than a
thoueand dollars with me."
"A thousand dollare 1 Gracious ! You're
rich, Still, I suppose even that sum won'e
last for ever, but by the time it is gone you
will be better able to earn your own living
than sou are now. So We will consider
my scheme adopted, for you will really be
favoring me it you typewrite my lettere."
Billy proved an admirable chaperon, and
as a guide to Chicane he was unequalled.
He talked all the time, and made no at-
tempt to conceal his admiration for the new,
typewriter girl, It was a case of love at
first sight with Billy. Inj gratitude, Miss
Remy took him to a ready-made clothing
establishment and fitted him Out with a
new suit. She- wished to have him meas-
ured, bet Billy was too impatient. He
wished to have the suit at ogee. He guided
her to an impuing emporium, as it was
called, and there he saw a Wilms coat, all
glittering buttons down the,front, which ap-
pealedto his youthful fancy'.
" But that's a page's uniform, Billy," ex-
postulated the girl.
"What's a page'm ?" ask d Billy.
"A boy that opens doore and makes him-
self generally useful:"
" Well, that's what I do'm." And Billy
was so set on the scintillating buttons that
they were purchased for him. A hair -out -
ting establishment sheared Billy's long red
locks from the semblance of a mop to the
likeness -17f a-ecrubbings heilitasand setting
his new oap jauntily on one side of his bead,
the youth owned the town, end his swagger
up the street made no more of his posseas-
ion.
He strutted in on bis master, and that
amazed individual nearly feli off his chair.
"Fo' de Lawd's sake, Williyume 'what's
struck you? qouldn't you have got a few
more buttons on if you had sewed them up
the back? Turn round, Well, well, well,,
well = Have you joined the fire brigade, or
merely the militia ? Isn't there a drum or
bugle goes with that outfit ?If
"No, sir. Ws whae a page uses to open
doors with."
The advent of Edith Remy proved most
propitious for Room 5, Floor 15, Of the Sky-
light Banding. Young Mr. Ripley, of the
prosperbus firm down etairs, happened in
one day with some instructions for Denton,
and he stared very intently at the new type-
writer girl, • After that it seemed necessary
for him to come often, each time bringing
with him iecreaeing huffiness. The company
below appeared to have awakened suddenly
to the merits of the young lawyer on the
fifteenth floor. Besides this Mr. Ripley,
jnnior, had it good deal of outside type-
writing which could be done as well, if
more slowly, in Room 5 as anywhere else.
Often this work required minute instilla-
tions, which Mr. Ripley gave direct to the
girl, so that there might be no miata,kes.
The girl was eager to do her work as it
should be done, and paid marked attention,
.whilst Edward Dunton looked uneasily
across at the pair, but said nothing. He
found himself wishing Brown and Ripley
would send somebody else up with their
messages.
One morning Miss Remy approached his
desk with radiantlace, and placed an open
letter before him. Ho read it in ii1ence, the
frown deepening on his brow as e did so.
It was from Brown and Ripley, billing Miss
Edith Remy that one of their ypewriter
girls was leaving, and they offered the posi-
tion to Miss Remy, with a salary of ten dol.
tars a week. He looked up at her and the
expression chilled the enthusiasm in the
young girl's face.
" Are yo U going to accept the eituation ?"
he asked, coldly.
j" Why, no. I hadn't thought of doing
that,"
"1 will give you ten dollars a week. I
have been going to speak about it_ for aome
clays, and I wish I had done so before you
received this."
"1 don't want any sum per week ; I am
perfectly satisfied as I am. I l)ope you

thought you would be pleased, but instead
of that, you seem angry."
"1 am not angry with you, Miss Remy;
but now that you do not intend to accept
the propoeal, I may say that I consider this
letter it breach of etiquette, on the part of
Brown and Ripley. It would never occur
to me, no matter how prosperous I was, to
lure away the—the assistant of another

Edward Dunton looked up at her'a faint

placed his hand on hers, which rested on
the desk.
"1 would say anything that would keep

She withdrew her hand abruptly, a flash
of anger lighting her ()countenance, the first
he had ever seen there.
"Sir, you mike it impossible for me to

'' Very well. I believe yeti to be a man

Idw4ird Dunton busied himself at his
deals for a while in silence, then rose, took
hie h&, and went out, lolling Billy as he
passed through the ether ream, that he
would not return until after lunch.
"All ': right, sir," said the genial Billy;
"I'll put up the' Baok in five minutes'
card." When this ditty was performed
Billy rapped at the inner door and entered,
with it doleful expression on his chubby
face, 31

" Ah, Mr. Billy, you've been listening at

to get t eir ears boxed."

"'Deed I ain't'tn. And what makes you

He wo jdn't take all that trouble if he—"
"Bil y, what are you talking about? Mr.
Dunton never-essw• me home in his life.

Billy scratched his flaring head in visible
perplex,ty. He was getting in deep water.
Well, what the 'nation Is he dein',
then? Soon's you leave every night ;le

hall window, and's sodn's you're oub the
front door, he's out after ye. I thought
he's tryin' t'ketch up'n nee ye home."
0 Billy, you are very much mistaken,"
said the girl, earnestly.; now, let me give
you some advice. Yon must not watch
people; you must not listen at key-holes—
tha s rery unmanly; and you muetn t
speak t anyone of what you've just told
"All right, mum."
Because if you do I cannot stay here
any longer. I think I ought to leave now,
but I'll Stay for your sake, Billy."
Billy Imes somewhat overcome. He beg-
ged her iot to tell Mr. Dunton what he had
said, an when she promised he went back
to his r om and had to whirl_ many times on
the :tall stool before he recovered his cure
ternary erenity.
IO wa two days after- this that young
Mr, Ri ley came up. "I say, Denton,
we'Ve g t a bit of work that'e entirely
out of our line, but it's from a client
we , do a great deal of busineas for, and
we 'don't want to offend him by refus-
ing. • His 'name is Deidrich Van Ness,
and he lives in Peoria. .Be is a rich
pork -dealer, and although penurious, there's
evidently money in this if you can ;carry it
off. He is a guardian ot his niece, Nora
Vatil.Ness, a girl of eighteen, who will come
into;half a million when she is twenty-one.
Well, a- bile ago she bolted, and ,the old
man; has been fussing round quietly trying
to fled hr. He hasn't succeeded, and now
he cmesJ to ea. , My father has written him
that it is a case for the detectiven, but the
old Man won't listen to that. He says the
detectives are more fond of giving away
their cleverness to the newspapers, and
getting hong notices of their cuteness, with
a two -column cut of themselves, than of
finding anything that is lost, and I guess
he's about right. He wants this done quiet-
ly, and above all things he fears it's getting
into the papers. For this he's willing to
shell' out handsomely."
"Has he any clue ?" asked Minton.
," No. Yee see she was going off to
visit a friend in the southern part of the
State. She never put in an appearanee
there, and three weeks had passed before
her Peoria folks knew she had skipped."
, "How much money had ehe with her ?"
1 "Re thinks she cau't have very much,
but he had a lot of jewellery that she
might have turned into money,"
"That ought to be a good clue. She, of
course, made for Chicago, and sold her
trinkets here. We must, have a descrip-
tion of them. Then we ought to have her
photograph."
f 4 ee, my father wrote about that, but
it seems the young woman was clever
enough to destroy them. They can't find a
picture of her in the house."
"There ought not to be much difficulty
about that. Som e Peoria photographer is
sure to have a negative."
The girl at the typewriter gasped, then
went nervously on with her work, spoiling
white paper.
" Inquiries about the negative would
have to be conducted very circumspectly.
The Old man is in terror lest the scandal -
becomes public. That is a great handicap."

would, be for me to go to Peoria, and get

"Perhaps ; still, the old man iss coming
to town to -morrow or next day, and I'll
bring him up here to have a talk with you."
"Very well, better telegraph him to
write but a description of the jewellery."
Danton examined the papers one by one,
made some notes, then went down to the
offices of Brown and Ripley. ' As soon as he
was gone Miss Remy tore up the typewrit-
ten sheets at which she had been working,
put on her hat, and left the room.
"'My," cried Billy, hopping down from
his stool, "you look soared to deathqn.
What's the matter? You're white as

country, for a week perhaps," And before
Billy could exprese his 7orrow adequately
the girl was gone.
Four days later, when be returned to the
office, Billy had such now to tell her that he
forgot to enquire after hey health, but per-
haps that might have been accounted fey
by the fact that she was tlooking extremely
well,
"Oh, say I Miss Rem, we're going to
find a girl what's run'd away. Gee, isn't;
that fine? There was an old gent here the
day after you left'm, and he's agoin' t' give
Mr. Dunton five thousand dollars if he finds
that era girl."
" You're been listening at the key -hole
again, Billy."
"No. -I didn't, honor -bright. They
spoke so loud I didn't have to."
Edward Dunton was either more solicit-
ous about her health or more polite than
Billy. ,She told him she had been staying at
a quiet place on the lake shore, and he ad-
men her to go back there for another week
-set. bast. But finally he admitted :that be
was most needful of a typewriter girl at
that moment, and he gave her some de-
scriptions of herself and her jewellery to
copy in triplicate.
That evening Mr. Denton's chances of
reaohing affluence in his profession through
the patronage of Brown & Ripley were ex-
tinguished. As Miss Remy was turning up
an unfrequented street to reach her tempor-
ary home she was surprised to find young
Mr. Ripley by her side. She was diSquieted
by the thought that he had evidently fol-
lowed her thr-ough the more crowded thole
oughfares, and had accosted her only when
they were alone. "Good evening, Miss
Remy. A fellow gets no sort of chance of
speaking with you in that office so I
thought I'd just happen along and escort
you home. Where have you been these last
few days? I tell you I was juet heart-
broken when I went up to No. '5, and found
you weren't there."
" You mustn't talk to me like that, Mr.
Ripley," said the girl, coming to a stand-
still and refusing his proffered arm.
" Why not? When a fellow's clean gone
on a girl isn't he to be allowed to say no?
This is a free country, you know."
"Because it is a free country; I ask yeti
to stand aside and let me pass.'
" Ob, if it comes to that the side -walk is
as much mine as yours, you know.",
Both atarted when it new voice came into
the discussion.
If it comes to what, -Mr. Ripley ?" Ed-
ward Minton stepped quietly into the space
between the girl and the man who had Just
disputed her right of way. This action had
the instantaneous effect of making young
Mr. Ripley extremely angry,
" Who asked you to interfere, you miser-
able whelp of a half•starved lawyer ?"
"1 My interference seems to have been
necessary, when aeyoung lady'can't go un-
molested to her home."
"Young lady 1 Oh, I see bow it in. This
is your meeting -place, and I-------"
Dunton's fist broke the silence, and Rip-
ley -when down at full length, and remained
there.
May I accompany you, Miss Remy ?"
"1 shall be pleased if you do." •
Next morning Miss Remy found the office
in the sole possession of Billy, who was
quivering with excitement, each particular
perpendicular red hair seeming to radiate
electricity."
"Oh, Miss Remy, Miss 'Remy, you ought
a -been here earlier, mum. There's been the
awfulest" row. Old Ripley wan up here,
and's gonno put Mr. Dunton in gaol, 'cause
he knocked his son down last night. Mr.
Dunton's gone out t'get hail. Ripley says
he's a-goin' Cruin him, an' if we don't find
that girl I guess he will."
To Billy's disappointment the girl went
through to the other room and sat down at
her type writer without making any com-
ment on his startling intelligence. When
Edward Denton came in -he made no allusion
to the exciting visit of the elder Mr. Ripley,
and went on with his work as if nothing in
particular had happened. ThereforMiss
Remy found herself compelled to open con-
versation on the subject. She took with
her the two letters she had typewritten, and
stood by his desk in the same position she
had occupied on the day he placed his hand
on hers.
" Mr. Dunton," she began,

I warn you that you may have to wait fer

The young man «hpok his head. "1 shall
do it for nothing, air not at all," he said.
It wait a blessing that Billy had been
cured of his propensity for listening at the -
keyhole, for thmethe proce dings of these
two young people will be f rever unknown
to the world, unless either ,of themselves
cares to tell.
