He made some arrangements, for he informed us that in the afternoon we would see some fellow whose title he could not translate into Dutch.

"Oh, I believe in pushing yourself," she replied, "but I think the right way to do it is to do your best possible work. To tell how many chances you have had well, it's like telling a man that he isn't keen enough to see what good work yon do. Besides, it doesn't seem loyal " "Bosh!" Meta interrupted her. But for a moment the girl was uneasy; then the feeling passed. She was quite as expert as Martha Erakine, and she knew what an asset she had in her air of health and competence! She felt very sure that no man in his senses would hesitate in choosing between the two in a matter of promotion. A week later, when a vacancy oc- curred, Mr. Rudolph did not hesitate. He chose Martha. Then he called Meta to his office and told her why. "You do good work, Miss-Carrick," he said. "But we value very highly a quality called loyalty. To boast con- stantly of opportunities elsewhere seemed to us a bit inconsistent with that feeling. I am telling you this because you have so much ability that it seems a pity you should miss op- portunities because of a thing so easily remedied." Meta came from the interview with high color and angry eyes. "Resign?" she cried in answer to Myrtle Bright's question. "You bet I resigned! Any- body who would choose Martha Erskine!" THE LEFT-HANDED CHILD. "The child is left-handed because it is 'made that way.' Left-bandedness, like right-handedness, has a definite anatomic basis. To handicap a child by training it to use a less efficient half of the brain, and thus to run also the attendant risk of developing seri- ous speech defects, is surely not a wise educational procedure. Expert left-hantfedness is much less of a dis- advantage, if any at all, than awk- ward aad inefficient right-handedness and the commonly attendant imperfec- tion* of articulate speech." Good Health.
