TOPA Y ’S INSTALLMENT.
"Well, they can leave you now,
all right." the lawyer remarked un-
symjpathetically, but with returning
cheerfulness, since he saw the end
of hi-- quest in visible form before
hint. He i f ached quickly forward tor
the packet, which Aggie extended
willingly enough But Tt was Mary
who, with a swift movement, caught
ifnd held it.
"Not quite yet. Mr Irwin, Ini
afraid.” she said, calmly.
The lawyer barely suppressed a
violent ejaculation of annoyance.
But there’s the money waiting
for you," he protested, indignantly.
The rejoinder from M^fy was
spoken with great deliberation, yet
with a note of determination that
cau-'d a quick and acute anxiety to
the General’s representative.
1 think. May explained tranquilly,
that you had better see our lawyer,
Mr. Harris, in reference to this. We
women know nothing of such details
of business settlement.”
"Oh. there’s no need for all that
formality.” Irwin urged, with a great
appearance *>f bland friendliness.
‘ I Thought You Would.”
Just the same,” Mary persisted,
unimpressed. "I'm quite sure you
would better see Mr. Harris first."
There was a cadence of insistence in
her voice that assured the lawyer as
t«* the futility of further pretense on
his part.
"Oh, 1 see, he said disagreeably,
with a frown to indicate his com
plete sagacity in the premises.
I thought you would, Mr. Irwin.".
Mary returned, and now she smiled in
a kindly manner, which, nevertheless,
gave no pleasure to the chagrined
man before her. As he rose she went
on crisply: "If you'll take the money
to Mr. Harris. Miss Lynch will meet
you in his office at I o’clock this
afternoon^ and. when her suit for
damages For breach of promise has
! been legally settled out of court, you
will get the letter. • t * Good-
afternoon. Mr. Irwin."
The lawyer made a hurried how,
which took in both of the women, and
| walked qutckl> toward the door Ekil
he was arrested before he reached it
by the voice of Mary, speaking again,
stijl in that imperturbable evenness
which so rasped his nerves, for all
its mellow resonance. But this time
there was a sting, of the sharpest,
i in the words themselves,
j "Oh, you forgot your marked
I money, Mr. Irwin.” Mary said.
1 The lawyer wheeled, and stood
staring at the speaker with a certain
sheepishness of expression that bore
witness to the < «*mpleteness of his
discomfiture. Without a word, after
a long moment in which he perceived
intently the delicate, yet subtly ener
getic. loveliness of this slender wom
an. he walked hack to the desk, pick
ed up the money, and restored it to
the billra.se. This done.* at last he
spoke.* with a new respect in his
voice, a quizzical smile on his rather
thifl lips.
Aggie Ends the Silence.
' Young woman." he said emphati
cally, "you ou r ht to have been a law
yer." And with that laudatory con
fession of her skill, he finally took his
departure, while Mary smiled in a
triumph she was at no pains to con
ceal. and Aggie sat gaping astonish
ment over the surprising turn of
events.
It was the latter volatile person
' who ended the silence that followed
on the lawyer's going.
"You’ve darn near broke my heart,"
she cried, bouncing up violently, "let
ting all that money go out of the
j house * * * Say. how did you
I know it was marked?”
"I didn't," Mary replied, blandly:
"but it was a pretty good guess,
wasn't it? Couldn't you see that all
he wanted was to get the letters, and
have us take the marked money?
Then, my simple young friend, we
would have been arrested very neat
ly indeed for blackmail."
Aggie's innocent eyes rounded in an
amazed consternation, which was not
| at all assumed.
"Gee-!" she cried. "That would have
j been fierce! And now?" she ques
tioned. apprehensively.
Mary's answer repudiated any pos
sibility of fear.
"And now.” she explained content
edly. "he really will go to our lawyer.
There, he will pay over that same
marked money. Then, he will get the
letters he wants so much And. just
because it’s a strictly business trans
action between two lawyers, with ev
erything done according to legal
ethics ”
"What's legal ethics?" Aggie de
manded, impetuously. “They sound
some tasty!" With the comment, she
dropped weakly into a chair.
Mary laughed in carefree enjoy
ment. as well she might after win
ning the victory in such a battle of
wits.
"Oh." she said, happily, "you just
get it legally, and you get twice as
much!"
"And it's actually the same old
game!” Aggie mused. She was doing
her best to get a clear understanding
of the matter, though to her it was
all a mystery most esoteric.
Mary reviewed the case succinctly
for the other’s enlightenment.
"Yes. it’s the same game precisely."
she affirmed. "A shameless old roue
makes love to you. and he writes you
a stack ot silly letters."
The pouting lips of the listener took
on a pathetic droop, and her voice
quivered as she spoke with an ef
fective semblance of virginal terror.
"He might have ruined my life!”
Mary continued without giving
much attention to these histrionics.
"If you had asked him for all this
money for the return of his letters, it
would have been blackmail, and wed
have gone to jail in all human prob
ability. Hut we did no such thing—
ro, indeed! What we did wasn’t any
thing like that in the eyes of the law.
What we did was tnetelv to have your
lawyer ako steps toward a suit for
damages for breach of promise of
marriage for the sum of ten thou
sand dollars. Then his lawyer ap
pears in behalf of General Hastings,
and there follow a number of confer
ences between the legal representa
tives of the opposing parties. By
means of these conferences, the two
legal gentlemen run up very respec
table hill- of expenses. In the end,
we get our ten thousand dollars, and
the flighty old General gets hack his
letters. * * * My dear." Mary con
(luded vainglortously, ”\ve'r*‘ inside

MOTHER |i| By FRANCES L. GARSIDE
A
KRK are only a feu^ certainties
in life. One is Mother. You
can always depend on her.
Make Mother a present and it
pleases iter most when it is some
thing that will divide equally among
the children
It frequently happens that Mother
has better health than father and the
children because «lie doesn't have time
for sickness or any other recreation.
When a child excels its father, he
is teased about it. but when it excels
its Mother it pleases her almost to
death.
Photographs of Mother never.look
like her. for tiie reason that she seems
to have been idle when they were
taken.
'I'he children are sick. Mother is up
with them all night: father is sick,
and Mother is up with him: but when
1 Mother is sick does anybody know of
1 it but the Lord ?
A hen never tries to spread her
j wings over a rooster-sized son to pro
tect him. but Mothers do it.
When a child has a pain, fathers
. sympathy is dependent on his memory
I of h similar pain, but Mother's sym
pathy is independent of all experience.
When Mother prays It is for some
thing she wants for her children, and
when father prays it is for something
he wants for himself.
A really fine Mother never lets her
children see her cry or show coward
ice. There are certain qualities that
are splendid to remember in connec
tion with Mother, and courage is one
of them.
From the time Mother gets up in
the morning till she goes to bed at I
night every one in the household,
from her husband to the children
and the laundress, takes complaint.-
to her and lays therh on her shoul- ■
ders. It is a task too great for any
statistician to enumerate how many j
complaints a woman hears from the
day she enters her home, showered
with rice, till the day she leaves it in
a box covered.with flowers.
There are some bright spots in
Mother’s life. A great and shining one
is when sh* picks up the stocking ;
hag and finds a stocking that doesn't
need darning.
The only human being in the world j
whose duties and obligations arc not
bound by the clock is Mother.
And the great sorrow that con- 1
fronts us. her children, and that will
make heaven an unhappy place for !
her. is that when St. Peter lines us j
all up and passes out the crowns he
will not take our Mother's word for it

His First Mistake
O NE of the first tasks they set the
curate. wTio was handicapped
by youth arid inexperience, was
to investigate the boha tides of a
"widow woman" who had applied t«*
the church for help. He departed
j nervously on his errand and knocked,
as ill-luck would have it. at the wrong
door.
"How l«*ng has your poor husband
been dead, my good woman? What
number of children have you? Are
any of them working? If so. what
amount of* money are they earning,
.altogether?" were the questions he
fired, like shots from a revolver, at
j the slatternly woman who answered
j his summons. "I presume I am ad
dressing Mrs. Harriet Smith?" he
added, noticing, with alarm, that she
j looked angry.
"No you ain't." answered the wom
an snappishly. "My name is Seline
Jackson, my bairns go to school, and
my usband's doin’ what is necessary
to a plateful of steak and onions at
this very moment. Would you like to
know anything else? Where I was
horn? When I was christened? At
what age I started courtin'? Perhaps."
-he concluded, sarcastically, rolling
her tattered sleeve up above the el
bow. you’d like to see my vaccination
mark before you go?"
Hut the bashful curate, redder in
,he face than a poppy, was already in
full flight.

CHAPTER III.
W HEN Jennie got in the
house that night and found
her motherly boarding
house keeper waiting up for her
hot tea. she evaded her old
friend's look and questions, sav
ing she was tired and had a head
ache—hurried up stairs to her
room, where she could be alone
and THINK.
Why had she so long put up
with this sordid way of living—’
no good times, dresses* or theaters,
such as other girls have. All she
ever did was to hurry down to
work every morning a hurried
little lunch with the other girls at
noon and then back to work till
evening, when she would hurry
horn* to supper hnd then maybe
to see snipe of her girl acquaint
ances or to the movies" with girl
and boy friends.
How shallow and sordid and
monotonous it seemed to Jennie,
who hftd just had dinner in one
of the best cafes in town and
came home in a taxi-cab for the
first time.
What if she hadn’t been intro
duced to the man and what dif-
feren e did it make if her. mother
or father didn’t know him or ap
prove of him?
Hadn’t he been just as nice and
polite—a lot more ■‘■’o than some
of the boy friends she knew—and
hadn't he asked her to "call him
up” the next day? Rut shouldn't
she tell her old friend all about
the nice time she had that even
ing?—buf no—old woman always
asked so many questions—what
if THE MAN was a great deal
older than she—hadn’t he told her
that he had a little daughter just
her age. but his family was away
on trip to Europe, and he was
R'o lonesome since 4hey were gone,
and .wouldn’t she be his little pal
and meet his wife and daughter
when they arrived home—and she
must bring her mother, too. when
his family got back—no. it
wouldn’t do to tell her mother till
then, for she might not under
stand it like he and Jennie did.
didn't she like him just a little
bit ?
All this Jennie thought out as
she sat on th-‘ edge of the bed.

Rut Jennie went to sleep that
night, thinking of a great big.
bright restaurant, with its beauti

music, thick carpet, a fountain
playing in the center and the "taxi"
ride home that was so different
from the pokey old street cars
she was used to riding in.
She was sound asleep and didn’t
hear her old friend noiselessly
open the door and come into see
if there was anything she could
do before she went to bed—or
hear the murmur "poor little girl
