T ——— WORRIES OF ONE GIRL BY NELLIE COOKE. “What's the trouble tonight?”’ asked the young man who was calling. “You Jook bothered about something and you are painfully quiet.” “That's & dreadful slam,” said the girh with mild resentment. “There isn’t necessarily anything wrong mere- ly because I'm not chattering like a magple. I shouldn't like to be told that I'm a chatterbox.” “] never said such a thing of you,” declared the young man. “You couldn’t be a chatterbox if you tried. I am just wondering why you are more than usually silent. Are you tired?” “Not exactly. Just worrled.” “Why are you worried? Who 1s fll? Why didn’t you tell me? Is it your mother? She has been looking a lit- tle pale lately, I recall.” “No, mother’s all right, 'm glad to say. But there’s lots of things to worry about besides iliness. People's bureiness may not be getting on well.” “You certainly are a trurap!” erled the voung man, admirirgly. “It is Just like a girl of your nature to worry when her father is feeling anxiety. 1 hope he appreciates your thoughtful- ness.” “Oh, it isn’t father!” the girl de- clared, hastily, “I haven't the slight- est idea how father's business is do- fng. I don't have to give his affairs a thought.” “No reason why you should!” agreed the young man., “You couldn't | possibly get hold of the deta‘ls of his large affairs if you tried. It isn't a girl's place to keep track of such ' things. When sbe is married it's dif- | ferent. Then a {2llow could tell her everything about his business.” “Even the troublesome things,” the girl said, understandingly. shared is & worry divided. what I always think.” “It it isn’t something relating to your family that is going wrong, what in it?” “Well, 1 suppose you'll think me foolish—" “You're never foolish!” “You don't know me, I'm afraid. You see, there's a little fur store that's vpened up over on the corner.” “Yes, I've noticed that litile otore.” “Well, that's it.” “That’s what?” “Why, don’t you understand? That's what I was worrying about, that store.” “What happened there? Did they lose your furs or spoil them in any way?" “They haven't had any furs of mine, and father says he doesn't wish me to take mine to him. I don't know what I can do about it.” “Take them to somebody else.” “But you don’t seem to get the fden,” said the girl, patiently. “It's because I want to help the man that That's [ want to let him clean my fuys. | They were cleaned inh the epring, 8o I don’t need anybody else to do the work over again, yet that poor man bkas just set up in business and 1| don’t think he's had a single custom: er yet."” “Did you promise him any custome ers?” “Why, of course not. I never saw | him before he opened the store.” “Then where does your responsibil- ity come in?"” “Everybody's responsible,” sald the glrl, severely. “When a new store opens in a neighborhood it is every- body's duty to help it get a start. This neighborhood has let three stores fail in the last year, and I'm awfully afrald this one is going to go, too.” “I shoulda’t think a fur store was needed in this neighborlood, should you?" “That isp't the point. The point is that the man has got to support his family. He has a wife and three chil- dren, besides an invalid mother or an aunt or something, ful for words.” “So you worry yourself into a nead- | ache over {t?” said the young man, indigrantly. “I think the man ought to be ashamed of himself, The idea of his worrying you like that!” “Now you're laughing at me.” “Indced, I am not,” said the young man, fervently. “But, really, I know of something lots worse that I wish you would go to worrying over.” “Oh, dear!” cried the girl. “VWhat | awful thing is it?” “Why, it's—it's me,” confessed the young man. “Will you take me (o worry about permanently?

H, FERGUSON. “It {s a gamble,” sald Loomis, “and it might seem attractive to others. Not to me.” “Well, {sn't everything a gamble, business or sport?’ asked DeWitt. “You can't tell how you are coming out, no matter how careful you are about going in. The chance that stocks will go up or down is just the same as the chance that the ball will fall in the red or the black on the roulette wheel.” “Not the same,” rejoined Loomis, “for full knowledge of the market and the holdings enables the operator to fsrecast ordinary fluctuations. There can be no forecast of a happening that is governed only by chance.” “May I suggest,” interposed the pro- fessor, “that the analysis is destructive of both contentions. Mr. Loomis as- sumes that there are happenings ‘gov- ! erned’ by chance. Perhaps if he will | examine the phrase he will discover | that it is paradoxical. Is what he calls chance governed by something?” Loomis hesitated, and with my view.” “On the contrary,” sald the profes- sor. “I believe there i8 no such thing as chance. More, I am willing to rest my belief on your experience. Have you ever known of an occurrence that ultimately proved to be utterly pur poseless and out of time? Don't an- swer me too quickly. Let me tell you | of a strange series of what my friend | Loomis calls chances. The story has just come to me fairly complete. i “Nine years ago two children, broth. er and sister, were placed in a char- itable institution in New York city. Their mother had died and left them unprovided for, their father had dis- appeared some time before. The boy was ten years old, the girl seven. iran away, and, strange to say, left , westward. It was in the summer and { he made his way easily for fruit and , Plentiful and sleeping out of doors was not a hardship. He had many ad- ventures along the road, but none | ' when he found himself in a little vil- lage in southern Michigan. His cloth- ing had been worn to rags and he was beginning to be shy of town, fcaring New York. But in Mattawan he saw a kind-faced woman who not only DeWitt | o+ home Saturday evening.

He said that his parents were dead, that he was going to California, where | the gold came from, and that he had ! made his way alone from Rochester. | The woman tried to induce him to stay for a time with her, but he was afraid and got away as quickly as he could. “Ile arrived in San Francisco Christ. | mas week, by that time well inured to hardship but still self-reliant, His first { meal in that city was earned the next morning selling papers, for he found | not only instruction but help among the newsboys. For a long time he made no more than a bare living, but by the time of the fire he had begun ] | to save. Three Years ago, then fifteen ! years old, he realized that he noeded‘ | an (‘duc.m(m more than anything else, | "ond he besan to attend nizht school, | Ie kept hN place on the street se llm" the morning papers, but in the after- | noon gave it up to others while he went to his studies. he learned of a place with an engineer. | ing firm here that would be ooen for him if he could prepare for it. To make it ke would require at least six months at the university, and it seem. ed out of his reach. Ie needed $200 to sustain him, for he would be oblig. ed to give up his newspaper selling. Every plan he could think of prosents | ed the same necessity—2lore money-— and he knew of no way to get it. Two | days later he picked up a purse on tha | walk where he had stcod so many mornings, and in the purso was $600. It seemed like a dircct answer to his | wishes, but he wanted to be honest. The next morning he turned quickly but tremblingly to the ‘lost and found® advertisements. What he hoped not to see was there, and two hours later | ’he was on his way to the address i glven. To his knock the door opens (ed and there, not recognized for a' minute of curious surprise and strug. | gling recollection, stood his sxstvr. whom he had not seen for seven years, | “ITer story was even more intersting than his.
