affaire jest a she took her pots and kettles in hand ja k spinner the millionaires son flying al jog upon his bicycle came very near rot ning into a yoong man who sat upon a urtutass moaning piteoaily and at once a ighted good ieavenil ihaventhartyon he cried ko si replied the person addressed who was enveloped in a mysterious water proof cot tune and covered from head to foot with ashes was claiie dead when yoacami up ive got the cholera or the typhua danno which and ill lose my job tor i m able for it no longer and there is no met 73 oa yoa if yoa neglect a thing ii it is ev it so with yoa no

empt the rest of the barrels foe you jolly fan or me yoa know and yoatl keep your job ind all that the man petrified with astonishment coold only lift lis hands and in a moment more a still m te astonished drug clerk had a patient wel paid for in advance and was mixing hot water and whiskey and spicing it wel with cloves and dropping cholera mixtur 2 into a glass and applying mustard plasters in the little back room behind the store six more loasev said jack walking beside the cart straight down the man said he shouldered tie first barrel and damp ed it a shower of ashes covered him bat he only laaghsd next came a nno can quite elegant in appearance but filled with decaying vegetables and ornamented by the inanimate- forma of three murdered kittens mr jack gakped but he intended to finish his work of charity now that he had began it and witi varied results new experien ces to him th i young athlete emptied five barrels on he sixth pavement he found none what an ai hmsns duty waa he did not koow bat he had his invalids interests at stake and mast dps best for him so be descended th suraay and rfcng the bell in a momeita gitt in a rdop cap a big apron and rubber gloves opened the door beg parden i am sure said jack bow ing but do you wish your ash barrel emptied he spoke in the most elegtnt manner but he was covered with ashes as with a garment hik moustache was whitened his bands begrimed cinders adhered to his kair and his facelwas dirty tbe maid before him was not quite free from mirk- of kitchen labor it was emuy who had been washiug the pois and kettles for t io

bring it back when it is implied you an too kind said emily unaware of the pot black on her chin not at all said jack of the cinders and they towed as if thoy were dancing the lancers in a mo nent jack had damped tbe ashes and retnrc ed with the can he wss greeted by a great poff of smoke and emil blushing and coughing came out into t ib area for air beg p rdon said jack but the house is not on ir i hope not said emily the fire went out and im trying to kindle it but it smokes s perhaps it is the damper said jaak iil looklifyoa dont mind i shall be grateful gasped emily it is the damper said jack and these things in the ovens now if i may have a bit of paper and some wojd 7 he fotnd them himself made a fire opened the windows and waited nntil the srhokehak vanished from the kitchen and then shut the windows wha a wonderful ashman emily thought what an elegant girl to cook jack said to 1 imself it is so kind of yoa said emily so stupid 0 me bui i did not know- about the dan pers i never made 1 firehefore but the arvants have taken french leave oh i said jack to himself j the young lady of the house doing amateur kitchen uousework i might have known it ani she thinks me the ashman nd hosighid good day he said bowing befon emily could reply a head was thrust i 1 at the window that of the origi nal ashman an 3ete yoa air but he said an sure thi medicine the doctor did be

out of his coat ofashes and sent him to her brothers room to find clothesferush and wash basin whe 1 he met her agahi she wore neither mob up nor apron but was attired in a pretty morning dress and ber bair curled bewitc1 ingly on her forehead and since this was the son of herfathers old fri nd it seemed but hospitable to ask him to loneh mamma woatd not be at home i he was quite alone it was awfully impror er bu this latter point never occurred to emily nor to jack and these two we both young and liked sweet things and ji k declared that he never had so delight al alanch before it as a romance which is different from a flirtation that little episode and it alwayt remained in the memory of those two yo iag people as the sweetest moment of their lives wbt a her mother returned emily
