What was I, to view and send my | heart out to a lady of evident wealth and fashion—I, Norman Earle, out at elbows, out of work and very nearly | out of money! “Still, I could not refrain from look- ing and realizing that at last that which comes to all mankind had set a torch aflame in my heart—love. “Who is she?” I heard one of the two men near me ask. “Miss Stella Virden—the niece of the big mine owner.” “And the man with her?” “Blackleg, gambler—Rodney Beale.” | The man who held the rcins of the spirited steeds attached to the lizht | elegant spired trap looked it. From! the first I hoted him—worse thang ever as I noted Lis etil eye gloat over | the angelic creature at his side, who| shrank from him in or dislike, I | | could not d tish which. Then I sighed as the Lorses grandly | | curved into the next street, for I never | expected to see the girl again. And | then a clanging bell rang out, shouts, the clicking of iron hoofs and a fire engine crossed the intersection, and,: alarmed by it and driven to wild| flight, the mettled horses came dash- ing into view again, I saw in an instant what had hap- pened—one line had snapped at the bridle ring and was useless to gfiide or control in the hand of the driver. In furious flight the team swept the frail trap across the cobble stones like a whip lash. The man showed his teeth in vicious rage for a moment. Craven that he was, he leaped from the vehicle, leaving his charge help- less and in peril. 1 saw her face grow white, but her compressed lips told of infinite courage as she held to the side of the seat and stared ahead. “Don't try it!" “Sure death!™ Nothing daunted me. In the nick| of time I was swaying from the car-| riage pole. Once I was Lulf down un- der the cruel grinding fect of the horses.

I was dizzy, the damp of blood where the contact Lad come, but I held to the trembling I faintly heard ind thankfulness he imp iiled girl— crowd on the side- from the lips of huzzas from the | walk. Then the man Beale, who had play- ed the coward, came rushing up. le seized the bridle from my hand. “I am Rodney Pecle,” be said. “Call at my oflice for a check. I could have struck him, but just then I noted the girl in the seat. Eagerness, gratitude in her sweet ani mated face, she was bockoning to me. Her little hand rested on my arm as 1 backed away towards the vehicle. Her eyes looked down into mine, “You grand hero!" she spoke, the vi. brations of her musical tones sirik- ing a rapturous chord in my heart of hearts. “How may I thank you!™ I realized not my boldness. I was blind to all save the spcll of her magie perfumed presence. She wore a rose at her breast. I pointed to it “Give me that,” 1 said simply. She handed it to me with a smile and a blush. I lifted it to my lips. Then the team was led away and 1 stole down a passage way between two houses to escape the plaudits of an excited mob and because 1 was faint from excitement—and the need of focd. The latter drove me to seek work four d r. I never went near Beale for that cl t. 1 stole many a e ne L ! ey a ( 1 ) &way from the miners the money Vir-' | guessed { of my lunch. that Beale had the rich miner owner in his power fcr some past crime and had demanded the hand of Lis niece ke B as a bribe. I knew nothing about practical ' & mining, but I knew enough to do patrol . service as a night waichm the diggings. Every night 1 was let down in the cage. Until daylisht it was my duty to watch out for fire damp or cavings in, to tl some accompaniment of beating against the sea en mine. I wag resting from my rounds one midnight and had sat down to my accustomed lunch. 1 fell to thinking of Miss Virden—Stella, as 1 called her in my secret thoughts. 1 took out the faded rose she had given me.

A government inspector who was investicating a fraudulent mail or der schene rocently questioned many womien vwhe had been robbed by the company. e of the women ex- | pected symputhy. They received in-' stead a sharp rebuke, says the Youth's Companica. “Didn't you know,” the inspector asked, “that you couldn't buy an ar- ticle like that for a dollar? You know the velue of such goods in relia- ble shops. You know that the price is about the same everywhere. How did you expect a mall order concern to sell you the same at a fifth of the regular price? Were you trying to get .something for nothing?” The question was a fair one. A writer on economic subjects has de- clared tiat the desire to get some- thing for nothing is the “fundamen- tal immortality of life” Every wom- an should remember that remark.
