Let the new conditions commence at once.” “Very well, sir,” bowed Addison ‘Woods, his office manager.

He had actually felt sorry, when in the rush months Woods ! tirelessly, uncomplainingly remained working at the office many a time till clear after midnight. | Where was the leak? The books ' were amazingly correct. The works | were under competent management, yet there was a deficit in profit and in the volume of business done. “Yes—Who ls This?” So one morning Wayne started out to put in operation a new system of economy. Addison Woods smiled cov- ertly after his departure. He was very matter-of-fact when Wayne re- turned from the factory. “I have cut the office expenses forty per cent, Mr. Wayne,” he an- nounced. “There were four sub- clerks who could be spared, two | stenographers, and a cut on our sta- tionery supplies. By the way, too, I . have sub-let the rear office. It was not much use for us except as a store room.” and he took a casual glance in at a | dainty industrious figure bent over a | neat table covered with pens, colored ' inks and brushes. i “Who is she?” he inquired, mightily attracted by the sweet face bent over her work, “A Miss Eleanor Wharton. i for a fashionable stationer, I believe. Fills in wedding cards and decorates. ! She is quiet, orderly and minds her own business.” A month went by and late one | afternoon Wayne, passing the door of the rear room was arrested by the echo of a faint sob, He stepped over , the threshold to find Miss Wharton | with her face buried in her hands. . She was crying, but strove to hide her emotion as Wayne, rather wonderingly, approached her, “You seem troubled,” he said, with ! the usual frank earnestness of his ! sterling nature, “I—I have been greatly disappoint- ed,” fluttered the young girl,” I am afraid I shall have to give up the of- { fice, sir.” “Why, Wayne. “The business house I have been working for has failed. I can readily make a new connection, but my little capital is gone and I could not pay |tha rent here until well on in the month.” “Bless me!” cried Wayne cheerily, “we always give thirty days credit to the trade, why not to you? Rest easy, Miss Wharton, and if you wish to an- ticipate later returns just speak to our cashier.” She gave him a grateful look he never forgot. Two days later she came to him with happy beaming face, “Just think of it!"” she said buoy- jaatly. “T have made a new business | connection with so much work to do th&l I can employ all my evenings, if I choose. Can I remain here after how s that?" {inquired WIll saCl'lflce For caSh §; closing time if I pay for the lights?” Ten acres truck land, one lot near | school house; also 1 new six room : house one acreof land.

And one evening—he never forgot it | —he was seated in his room a mile away from the office, when the tele- phone called with a noisy jangle “Mr. Wayne?"—the tones breathless, “Yes—who is this?” “Your office—Miss Wharton.” i “YPS?” 1‘ “Come, oh! come at once. Do not ! lose a precious second!” | “What is it?" asked Wayne in star- tled wonderment. i “I have done a dreadful thing! It was for your sake—Oh, hurry! hurry!” Nerveless hands seemed to drop the receiver at the other end of the line. Wayne recognized deep agitation— more, distress and fright in the rapid accents that had come over the line. Then he sprang to action. A call to his chauffeur, and within three min- ! utes he was seated in the machine, | with the speedy mandate, *“Make time.” Wayne reached the building in which his office was located. He rushed up‘ the stairs. The office door was locked. | He was quickly beyond the barrier. He saw an empty lighted room. Then, were sub-tenant’s apartments there showed the sub-tenant herself. Her face was colorless, her eyes filled with a wild intangible horror. “Quick, quick!” she gasped, point- ing a terrified finger at the closed door of the big steel vault—"there! there!” She sank to a chair mercomo well nigh at the point of fainting away. “What do you mean?” inquired | Wayne, “In the vault.

Eleanor heard Woods say that his bank book, securities and safety deposit key were in his box in the vault, “I thought of you,” she faltered to Gerald. “I shut them in the vault.” Restitution was sternly demanded by Gerald when Woods recovered con- sciousness. The villain and his ac- ' complice left the office free to go “Very good,” commended Wayne,' Works where they would, but despoiled ol! their stealings. “It seems I needed a guardian and found one in you,” spoke Gerald ten- derly, as he and Eleanor stood alone in the office after the departure of the others. *“Will you continue in| that capacity and—as my wife?” he' asked boldly, , 8She could not say him nay—they were 8o suited to one another—and | they left the office arm linked in arm, heart linked to heart. \ (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Invisible Clock. A public clock which can be heard but not seen is one of London's curious possessions. It is in the tower of St. Mary Abbott’s church, Kensington, and is the only public clock in the imme- diate neighborhood It chimes the quarters and the hours, but commits itself no further. It has no dial, no hands, no outward and visible sign of any kind to show that it is a clock. This eccentricity, it is explained, is the result of two causes, one aesthet- ic, the other financial. When the tower was built in 1879 a clock was ! suggested as an afterthought, but the architect protested that it would mean the addition of 15 feet to the tower, | and the ruin of its cherished ]Jupur-: tions A second point was that the | church, having but slender t'unds,? a clock with a dial, | A compromise was arrived at by in- gtalling the works of a chiming clock | in the belfry, without dial or hands.— Spare Moments, could not afford Passing of Old Houses. Riders and walkers through the New England countryside and villages learn to look for the venerable houses, many of them centenarians twice over, which not only distinguish this region, but fit into its landscapes with a suit- ability which newer buildings some- how lack. As this interest grows, the observer begins to notice that they are all too rapidly disappearing to give place to modern houses which are certainly no improvement in work- manship and architectural design, and not necessarily superior in comfort and convenience if the old houses are properly handled. In losing these an- cient buildings we are losing not only ! parcels of history; we are losing quite as much a dignified and fitting style of domestic architecture which is all the more effective by being severely | plain.—Boston Transc r!pt | Where the Strain ls.
