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 the law. and/so were perfectly safe. And there you are!” To Be Continued To-morrow. But, no— Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. DON'T GIVE HER UP. I"}EAR MISS FAIRF I am deeply in 1 AX: 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 Slave to Fashion.

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. mothers always ask so many questions.’ 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. absently braiding her hair in her nice, clean, plain, tidy little room, with her mother’;* picture, taken when she was about Jennie's age. sitting there on her little white bureau, poking right at her. Rut Jennie went to sleep that night, thinking of a great big. bright restaurant, with its beauti fully gowned women, heavenly 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 —if she just didn’t HAVE to work so hard." as she went out (To be Continued.)
