Mr. Armitage i8 a rising man of | business, and many a girl would con- sider herself lucky to receive the at- tentions he has shown you.” “Mother, his attentions are more than distasteful to me. I cannot bear to even have him speak to me.” “There are a good many reasons why you should encourage him,” de-, clared Hilda Mason’s stepmother. | The girl's lips closed tightly. A wor- ried, anxious look came over her face. | She put on her wraps and left her humble home for her daily work, i The worldly udvice of her stepmoth- | er had made little impression upon ! Hilda. Mr. James Armnitage was prac- tically her en r. He was in full charge of the silk factory of Meserve | & Co., one of svveral operated by that wealthy firm. Hilda's father had been engineer of the plant half his life time. | Her brot..er, Bob, was in charge of the shipping room. A smaller brother was errand boy in the office. Hilda had light agreeable work in the sample de- partment. ! It was only recently that the Masons ing for them. A strike, sickness, the | failure of a bank carrying away their savings, had brought about a hard ex- pericnce. Now, with all hands at!| work, the future looked encouraging. | Armitage had come to the plant about a year previous, From the first Hilda had felt repelled by him. He had a hard, cynical face. He was piti- less in his exactions with the workers. He was a widower, and Hilda had heard that his wife had died of a broken heart, Armitage had seemead 1o take a fancy to Hilda as the tf htless Mrs Mason put it in When on tw had ashed places ol enjoyed get home “I wo i wreteh,” a diochor Hilda, mecting hor on i8 @ suake, a tyvrant V. way i recently he sion to take Hilda to ut, she had not shoes on the o girl told “He o discharged Street, Armitage Slunk From the Room. me out of sheer meanness girls despise him he won't be here long.” “Why not?” asked Hilda, “I shan't tell you, but you'll ses do hope you are with him.” Hilda protested indignantly, She evaded Armitage, and twice when he called managed to be out of the way Hence her stepmother's advice, A new interest came into the life of Hilda one day Armitage passed through the sample department accon- panied by a bright-faced athletic young man. The latter seemed interested in everything he saw. Something abont the neat graceful Hilda held his glacce. She noticed it and flushed, but his look was so pleasant she could oot feel offended. “He 18 a Mr. Harold Macy,” a com panion told Hilda. “He has come well recommended to Mr. Armitage, and is | going to be a kind of an overseer.” Armitage was absent for feveral days inspecting another mill. It was a . and all the tood thing—- One [ not falling in love cand was glad to. 1 room where she sat at work next morning. He was pale and stern look- ing. He forced a smile, as if asking al welcome. Hilda reluctantly touched the hand he extended. He tried to re- | tain it, but she arose to her feet. “I heard of your having quite a so- cial time during my absence,” insinu- ated the manager. “Hilda,” and he came a step nearer, and his eyes had an eager, sinister glow, “the time has come whea circumstances force me to reveal my feelings towards you. | have spoken to your mother; I wish you to become my wife.” | “Oh, Mr. Armitage!” breathed Hilda tremulously. “You must not—that is, 1 cannot—cannot ever marry you.” | “Because, I suppose,” sneered the! manager with a dark scowl, “you have | taken up with this new employe,l Mucy ?” It was coarsely said. Words and manner were oifensive. Hilda bridled. ! “Mr. Armitage is a gentleman and o dear friend of mine,” she said staunchly, as though defending him | from aspersion. i “He shall not remain here long to cross my path!” cried Armitage sav- agely. “Come, Hilda, be reasonable,” he added in a pleading tone. “At least consider my appeal. I truly love you. I can give you comfort, luxury, a so- cial position far beyond your own.” He could not but note firm denial in her eyes; more than that, positive aversion. It maddened him. Armitage sprang towards Hilda and threw an arm around her. “You shall become my wife,” he ! cried. “I am not used to being crossed T 3 .| in my plans. Girl, do you understand | _ had felt that prospects were brighten. | (hab i1 Kold tha walfeia ettvout fase | ily in my hands? 1 can turn you and vour father and brothers out of your positions. Only love me, and they shall be well taken care of.” : In an excess of emotion the manager attempted to’ kiss Hilda. With a | scream she beat his face with both her hands. ' 1 “That will do,” spoke a calm but | masterful voice, and Armitage was I hurled to the other end of the room. | “You!"” panted the manager, recog- nizing young Macy, his eyes bluzing with fury. “You are discharged from my employ. Out of here at onee, or 1 will have you thrown out.” Your employ?” repeated young Macy, =My man, T advise rou to get oflice and b dy for an ac- which will be demanded of my tuther, the owper of th o res counting o by husiness. 1 have t shed him, an e will b omorrow, A dis charged girl «upl r a hint of your double dealin dividing sales profits with our ¢ 1 came hero ed name to get the de- My correet name is Vietor Me- under an as tuils, sorve,' Like the craven he was, Armitage ! ik from the room.

Few cities are doing as much build- ing as Buenos Aires, easily the largest happy week for Hilda. The new em. | ploye passed through her department | frequently.

But for the | glum looks of Mrs. Mason, it was a | second happy occasion for Hilda. 1t | { made her happier still when she| fancied she noted something in his eyes, that told he was thinking of her | | with a warmer sentiment than of sim- | | ple friendship. | Armitage, returned, came into the ST —————. - ~———TEE | western hemisphere, but such work | some from the center of population south of the equator and the fourth city of the goes on under difficulties in that part of South America.
