HAMILTON'S ROMANCI By nal STRANGE VINT-I& [Copyright, WV, by the Author.] A few minutes later she had passee out eh the house and away from her old life forever. She had made her plats easefully with a view to furthering her reeources to the uttermost—she had taken a single room in a respectable house in Blooms- bury. She was not destitute, for she had still nearly £100 to call her own. Mrs Hamilton's life had been insured for a sum which had almost covered the cost of her illness and burial, and Mary had bought her mourning with a keen eye to economy; in fact, she had spent and meant to spend nothing that she could possibly avoid. She knew that, if need be, she could live for a year on her little store, and she knew, too, that it was a totally different thing to seek a living free and independent, Rothe was, to seeking It while tied and hampeeed with an EnTalid mother. But she did not find it an easy thing to drop into a pleasant, comfortable po- sition, such -as she wanted, by DO mean& Per several weeks she tramped to ahd flee here and there, always seekihg something more or less indefinite, a something which she found it difficult to describe in words. Then she pulled herself up short old began to think the situation out in a different way, and she came to the con- clusion that she could not go on in this vague, indefinite way; that she must make up her mind to follow a certain course, and she must follow it. The question was what. She went over all the openings which she had already tried to follow up, and she came, after much anxious cogitation, to the con- clusion that there were only left to her now—either of which she might take as her metier and train herself to become proficient in—nnrsing and typewriting. She inquired fully into the merits and demerits of both. She found that she could properly qualify for a nurse under a training of at least three years. Even then she would not• have gotto the top of the tree, and it was more than likely that long before three years had gone by she would have broken down, for she was not physically or constitutidnally an especially strong person. If all -the tales she heard of hospital or infirmary training were true, she felt that a month or six week* would about show her how fruitless it I was for her to attempt a career of which Magnificent health and nerve are the very first requisites. So practically the career of a nurse was disposed of and put on one side as an imhossible one. There only remained then open to her that of a typewriter. The accounts which she gathered of this way of making a living were inore hopeful: She would pay 10 guineas to be taught the trade; and six months wOuld see her in a fair way of earning a decent living. Shti could, until she was proficient, live very cheaply and quietly in her modest little, room, and she would have every interest in forcing herself ahead as quickly as possible. There was nothing in the manipulation of a delicate and intelligent machine (this was the way that a young girl, whose acquaintance she made in a tea. shop, epoke of her typewriter) which could he in any way revolting to her or which was in any sense beyond her powers. "And of course." said the girl, "if yon go in for ishorthand as well, you just double yonr value from the very start," "Is it difficult?" Mary asked, rather diffidently. "Yes, it is difficult," the girl replied, "but by no means insurmountable. And the advantages are enormous. Oh, it is a grand life for a woman. Any woman of average intelligence can make a liv- ing at it, and a woman whose intelli- gence is above the Average can do more than make a living. She can command her own price. , Then it is a free Wei I mean in this way. If a woman goes in for nursing, she needs years and years of training, and goodness only knows whether she will prove herself a really skilled nurse at the end of it. She needs superhuman etrength, endless patience, infinite tact, and for what? To earn at best 2 guineas a week; to be treated a little better than a servant, to be al- ways in a position that is entirely tem- porary. A typist, on the other band, es- pecially if she is also a stenegrapher, can easily make 2100 a year, provided that she is really good at her work. She has her fixed hours, her fixed holidays. She has always her Sundays and her Saturday afternoons. All the tact that is necessary for her is to mind her own business and hold her tongue, She has her evenings to herself. and. if she like -s, al enjoyed good health until about two years axe when 1 noticed my back began to ache fre- quently; it became sore and lametand headache soon added to my misery; also found that my general health diminished. 1 became thin and weak and nervous, having severe pains at regu- lar intervene' writes Mrs. Augustus Hmory, Treasurer New Century Club, 34 Dean Street (Roxbury), Roston, Mass.

Doctor Pierce's Favorite Presoription restores weak and sick women to sound health, laT curing the local womanly dis- eases which are generally responsible for the failure of the general health. A wom- sn'irentire being is centered in lier wom- anly nature. When the delicate" womanly organism is attacked by disease; when there is irregularity or a disagreeable drain; when inflammation burns and ulcers gnaw the general health will reflect the progress of disease, in increasing weakness, nerv- ousness, backache, headache, loss a appe- tite and sleeplessness. So sure of it is the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. Y., pro- prietors of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion, that they offer $ao° reward for wouien who cannot be cured of Leucorrhea, Fe- male weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb.

It is a fine lite for a thonaan—there is no info - take about that." Therm:at-of this chance meeting and conversation with an utter stranger was that Mary went straight away to a cer- tain school of typewriting and at once entered basalt as a pupil for the entire course, and then she set herself to work. She was an apt pupil. Her well bal- anced mind, tinged by disappointment and trouble, but unruffled by the great- er passions of life, quickly grasped the intricacies of the cnrions dots and dashes which seemso mysterious and confusing to the majority of mortal& She made rapid progress, and before the six months which "she had allowed her - 'self for her pupilage had come to an end she found herself established it the office or a small firm of brokers at a salary of 15 shilling's a week It was of course but a beginning. Still it was a beginning, and Mary had accepted it gladly, both for what it brought her and as an earnest of better thing�. to come, And each evening when she had left the office and bad had tea at the nearest X. Y. Z. shop she went off to theischool and worked bard at her ehortband. A.few months more ;taw her in differ- ent circumstances, for she left the firin of . brokers and engaged herself to a lawyer of large practice, who paid her 80 shillings a week and treated. her pleasantly into the birgain. After near- ly a year in this office her employer sud- denly died, and she was thrown out of work. Not that she was destitute --by no means. She had lived carefully, almost frugally, keeping always in mind the poissibility:of a rainy day in time to come. She took a week's holiday and spent it atDovercourt, where she sat by the glorious sea, basking in golden sun- shine and the keen brisk air, reveling in novels and drinking in A full supply of health and strength, which would last her for at least a year to come. Among the books she had taken down with her was one which had been lent to her by her one intimate friend, the girl Lucy Chalmers, who had first given her information about the life and ca- reer of a typist. Mary had been three golden days by the sea ere she began to read it. It was called "A Lover's Creed of Love." It is almost impossible for me to tell the effect that this story bad npon Mary Conway. It was a story of passion pas- sionately written. It was fervid, full of life and stir and color, and it was clean and wholesome in tone withal. It was unmistakably the work of a man rich in imagination who was yet full of common sense and sound judgment. It ; fascinated, enthralled, amazed her. She went to bed and dreamed of it, She read it over again several thites during the rest of her week's holiday, leaving the other books unread after the first glance into their, to her, meaning- less pages. Duting those few days she lived with it. Then she went back to London. She was feeling stronger and more really Eight cents a pound is what a young woman paid for twelve pounds of flesh.

She stood firm upon her own feet. She owed not a pen- ny to any man. Iler first errand was to go to a great shop where typewriters are sold: ' "I wish to put my name dowu on your books," she said.

It was with , a beating heart filled with nervousness and apprehension that Mary Conway found herself waiting at the house of Alan Stacey, the novelist, In Fulham.. It was evidently a somewhat old house and was inclosed in a high walled garden. It was at the gate of this gar- den door that she waited patiently after giving a humblepull at the handle of the bell, such as she wonld tot have given at the door of a duke. Ali last she rang again, and then her summons at- tracted attention. She heard toptsteps on the other side of the door, and then it was flung open, and a man in the penal decorous garb of a servant stood to hear what she wanted, I "Does Mr. Alin Stacey live here?' she asked. "Yes, ma'am." "Is he at home?" "Mr. Stacey is not out, ma'am," the man replied, "but he does not usually see any one at this hone Mr. Stacey is in his study, ma'am." "Still I think he will see me," said Mary, eagerly, "if you will give him this card." - "Walk this way, ma'am/' said the man, taking theard between his finger and thumb in th peculiar manner of a well trained servant. ' He led the way down a broad flagged pathway which led to the house. It was covered by a kind of 'veranda, and on either side a charmIng garden spread until bonnded by the old wall. It -was a charming garden, rich im anciente mossy turf and gay with many flowers.

"But I thought she took down what you dic- tated," she said almost breathlessly. "Yea, but if she saw what ehe thought was an error she was always kind enough to mend it for me," said Alan Stacey,. smiling at the remembrance. "She knew just a little too -much for me. She must have been overeducated or something. My last helper had, on the contrary, no ideas. He had a note- book and a sharp pointed lead penciL When I was in form, he was excellent When hhad to get a certain amount of copy turned out by a certain time and I hadn't so much as the ghost of an idea In my heah, he used to sit on the edge of a chair waiting till I did gettan idea. If he would have read the newhepaper, gone to sleep, walked about the garden; if he would have yawned even, I should not have minded, but he never did. He said once it was all in the day's work whether he worked or waited, So, when I couldn't work, he waited. I had to get rid of him. I found him an excellent billet and swore I would never have an- other helper of any kind. Then my hand came in and said: 'No; I'm hanged if yon shall tise me. I'm delicate.' So I sent to Bloomingby's. So now, Mrs. Cos. way, you see what kind of man I am to deal with—nervone, irritable, almost eccentric." "I am not afraid," said Mary, mill- ing. This man was wholly delightful to her, surrounded by a halo of ro- mance, still young, strong, unconven- tional and wholly human. "Have you omen any of my work?" he asked. "I have read the 'Lover's Creed.' a dozen times at least," she answered. "Alit Then you will to a certain ex - .tent understand me. I should need you from 10 to 5 each day. Well, not on Saturday afternoons. That goes without staying." "I am ready," said Mary. "You would lunch here—by the by, where do you live?" "In Bloomsbury," "That's a far cry." "T should seek for rooms in this neighborhood," she said quickly, "I am not wedded to my present quarters." "Still better. You are married, Mrs, Cosway?" "My name is Conway," she Raid gently. "I am a widow." - "Oh, forgive met One Hies to know' everything. Have you children?" "None—nor a single relative in all the world." ' "Itaor litthesoul i" The words slipped ont nnconscionely, as if he were think- ing aloud. "Then about terms." "I will take what you are accastoin- ed to pay," said Mary. "I have, let no say, 2 guineas a week," be returned hurriedly. "But won't you try me first?" said Mary, rather taken aback by this un- ceremonious way of arranging the mat- ter. no. Your speed is 120, and you look as if you would just suit me." "But ray references!" she exclaimed. "Mrs. Conway," said the novelist, turningaand looking directly and fixed-, 1 "My name is Conway," she said gently. ly at her, "I would just aresoon not see yonr referencee. I know tub well the lies one tells When one wants to pass some one on to one's friends. I know too well what they are 'worth.

"But everybody knows yon," she cried ingennonely. "Everybody has read your books." "I wish they did. I should make a decent income then. No, no, Mrs. Con- way. 1 know what I am and what I'm not.

So far as you yourself are concerned, honesty is the dominant note of your life." Mary could not help starting. Alan Stacey continued: "Yon give yourself away continually because you cannot conceal your real feelings. In a sense you are bad for yonreelf because you cannot dissemble. You couldn't tell a downright lie if you tried, and you are • so honest that you wouidn' "1 do hate lies," mid Mary in a tone as if such a fact were rather to her detriment than otherwise. "Let me look at your hand. Yes; it is capable—precise, upright and highly nervon& We shall be able to work to- gether very well, I am certain. At all events, let no try tomorrow morning." "Mr. Stacey," said Mary, rising as she spoke, "1 will do my very best." "We shall get on splendidly," be re- plied, holding out his hand. "I am do- ing a particularly difficult piece of work just now, a most difficult subject, in which the handling is everything, the whole difference between succeee and failure. I was writing with my fist— yea, doubled up so --in despair, when my servant told me you were here. Look at this" --spreading out his hand andshowing an angry swollen red ridge of muscle which rose between the first and second fingers and extended beyond the wrist "That means the intensest and most exquisite agony. It seems to disappear above the wrist and to rise again in the underside of the arm, from where it runs in a rope of pain to the very armpit." "It must be horrible," said Mary. "Are you working now "I was when you can.' "Why don't you let me begin right away, sir 2" she ventured to say. He looked at her again with the same quick, alert glance as before. "Don't nail me 'sir,'" he said, half amused and half irritable, "I always called Mr. Desmond so,'` ehe said raeekly. "He had an office and a lot of clerks; that was different. I don't require that kind of thing. One 'sir' would upset me for a morning. Come into my study. I like yon for tackling the work straight away, We'll try how it goes." Mary followed him into the study, a long, low ceiled room with many hooka a few pictures, some guns, fishing rods, golf clubs, two luxurious Etofa aomages and half a dozen capacious chairs. A rough terrier dog lay before the open window and a big Angora cat, brindled like a bulldog, was in poesession of a fur rug befohe the empty fireplace. It was a revelation to Mary Conway—she had never eeen such a room in all her life before. She established herself at a table and they began. She was amazed at the ease and rapidity with which Alan Stacey poured out his story, taking it up at the last written word and spin- ning it out in the most vivid and inter- esting way, almost, indeed, acting it all So for nearly two timers they worked without a hitch, until the servant came to say that luncheon was served. Aka Stacey drew along breath andnose to his feet "Come to lunch," he said. "I used to have ideas about not interrupting the flow of genius—but I take my meals at regular tfniea now—it pays better all round. Do you think you've got all that?" "I think so,"said Mary, "If you will allow me, I will transcribe it after lunch so that you can eeefor yourself.' 1•••••••••••••••• CHAPTER IX, THE INTERPRETER, To Mary's surpriee the table was only laid for two persona It was eesentially .4 man's table; it was Amen and was spread with a nice clean cloth and ser- viettes: its dominant note was a cruet stand, "Take that seat," said Alan Stacey, with a gesture to a chair, "It will be a simple lunch, I warn you, If I eat a big meal now, I am no good for the rest of the day. Some people like a regular dinner at midday. I believe it means apoplexy if you only eat enough and sleep sop enough afterward. What have you today, John?" "An omelet, sir," said John, "and cold beef and salad." "A luncheon for a king, if the ome- let and salad are properly made. Don't you think so, • 31ra. Conway?" said Alan Stacey "I do," said Mary, wondering whether she ought to be honest and say that a dish of scrambled eggs was the nearest approach to an omelet that she had ever tasted in her life. "I have a little Frenchwoman who makes both to perfection," he went on. "Some people like to make a salad at table. I don't. I know several &light- ful houses where it is the task of the young ladies to dress the salad, and they do it with a diffidence whieh re - stilts in loathliness. Tell Maltide that this omelet is excellent, John." "Very good, sir." Mary ate le -r portion awl allowed herself to be persuaded into taking a little more, but she refused W1114.1 and persisted in taking only water. "I must keep my bead clear," ehe said firmly. "I want to do pinr work and myeelf justice this afternoon." Alan Stacey tried hard to overrule, her, because, as be said, they ought, to have s mild celebration of their that day's work and their lint meal togeth- er. It is true that he liked and re,-pect- ed her the better that she held firmly to her point. "When tbe book is Welted, Mr Stacey.' she Paid.

"I don't Wilk so," be said in a tone of conviction. His instinct proved to be correct, as the instinct of a man who has given his life up to the study of character usual- ly is. After a delightful luxurious half hour of chat Mary went back to the study and began to work, and by o'clock had finitshed her transcription ot the morning's work. Alan Stacey, who was as keenly interested in the result of the experiment as elle was, Zane in from the garden and read over the fair typewritten pages. He did not speak till he bad read to the end. "Mrs. Conway," he said then, "you are a perfect treasure. Can you keep it upt" "Row I" "You have taken e down literaily, word for word, point for point You have caught the exact opirit of my law Mrs. Conway, if you can keep it up We shall get on splendidly." She had flushed up scarlet in her eZ- citement and eu spense, and Alan Stacey, looking at her, said to himself that - merely his star had been in the ascendant when such a dainty creature had sud- denly fallen from the aldee in lien of the bulldog features and staring goggle eyee of the patient individual who had but just left him. "I am so glad," she said with her Pretty, shy "so proud to be able to help you. try bard never to be any- thing but your interpreter." He laughed aloud and held out ble hand. "That's a good name for yot, Mrs. Conway," he said. "I can river say 'my typist does this' or 'my etenur replier &eta that ' You're not me ectn. retary, and it would sound pretenjtious to call you no. But quterpreterd—that'a a splendid name for you. 1 shall alwayo call you by it." And so he did.
