to the city in the moht perfect confidence that sirs- gore would help her advise her perhaps even offer her a home in the fifth avenue man- ison untfl some opportunity to earn her bread should offer itself but said she what am i to do dear me v said mrs gore what a very filrarige question i should ihink yoa mighl have made up your mind as to thai before you leffhome t wasnt as wise then as i am now said ruby with flaming check as the rose up to depart reminded involuntarily of the old parable of the priest and the levilc dont you think yoa had better go back lo mushroom hollow said mrs- gore sweetly ko i dont r said ruby and she went away without another word she would have died sooner than tell mrs gore that she had not enoagh money icfl for a return ticket to mashroom hollow out into the snowy dark sli crent with a strange empty feeling at her heart she did not know where to go so she simply followed he current of passersby and when she came to a humble little bakery she opened the door and went in i have had nothing to cot since morn ing eic said to herself i cannot starve at the back of the store there were two or three little- oilcloth covered tables she sat down at the nearest one and asked meekly for a toll and a cup of tea and as she ale and drank she could hear the mis tress of the place scolding a girl across her counlek yoa promised to come tonight she said an now youve throwlrme over and id like to know what im to do and just our busy season too get- married indeed if you was going to get married why didnt yoa say so at first and her diatribe was only ended by the abrupt flouncing out of the 6forc of the young woman whom the was scolding ruby phelps had listened intently to this little byplay she was a girl of some decision and originality her mirni was made up at once she arose and came forward to the counter cannot i do said she yoa need a helper i want wort i will come for low wages until i have learned your ways i am willing and active will yoa try me but gasped mrs ely for that wis her name you are a hid i i am a woman who wants work said ruby i tliink i coald suit yon if yoa would allow me a trial ely will say it aint business said the bakers wife but i do needhelp dreadful and i never yet was mistook in peoples faces yes yoa may come for a rial week anyhow miss miss call me rabyv faaid the girl my name is rubina phelps and that night she slept under the humble roof dsiita avenue bakery at the end octhc week mrs ely declared that she never had had a help that suited her like rcbina phelps the girl was quiet and efficient she saw everything and was prepared for every emergency but fiie had been in her new place only ihree months when good mr ely diedl tividow wept and wrung her hands oh dear oh dear she cried what is lo become of me the children all babies and not a cent of insurance ou elys life were as good as beggars what shall i do 7 goon with the business lo be sure said ruby calmly mra ely stopped wlumpering aud stared at the speaker boil am only a woman said she i couldnt run the business then let me do it said ruby i know that i coald go on just as mr ely was doing he was talking about enlarging the restaurant wc could serve twenty tables as well as en we could liavo oreama and ices and chocolate as weff as tea and rollsv there ia emile the new french baker can get up anything ond little kate makes delicious tarts and pak we may as well be a place as a mere bakery and then you know we can diarge accordingly all that we want is to get our names up and ruby phelps prediction proved true when

steamer to cuba leaving only an apologetic letter for his wife debts at cards disastrous speculations any number of ex cuses were put ferward bui all hat mrs gore knew was that she was left penniless

week was out he again iv yoa sent for me sir said robert henderson going to the desk of his employ er the owner of the wholesale fruit store yes i sent for yoa to say that i rball not wautyoor services after thii week robert tamed a shade paler- isnt it a trifle sudden liri he ven tured to ask it is about as long notice as 1 usually give this is a dull season you know some clerks would think themselves fortun ate in having held on till now have i given satisfaction very pood indeed mr strong varied the set indifferent monotouy of his tone a lit lie bat even the little was gratifying from a man like him i will give yoa very good rccommcodatoni i dont know that they will do me much good any good in fact said robert to himself as he torned and went down stairs there are ten applicants for one situation this time of year many a luckless breadwinner turned suddenly out of employment will be able to enter into his feelings as he thought of bis widowed mother and the sisters who looked to h for help in the struggle to maintain a home sent off on short notice hey asked a clerk who came oat with him the list two as the house was closed for the night just like john strong but je is under no obligation to keep me when he didnt need me maybe not bat it seems to me if i had a clerk that i knew was a good one and that needed work id oiaosge to carry him through the dull season especially if i wasa rich man like him whats this a heavily loaded dray had drawn up to the curbstone the driver of which had be gun to unload boxes addressed to tbo firm hows all this said robert going to wards him its too late lo deliver goods tonight i know it mister said the draymen respectfully bat i coaldut help it this time t they were dae here two hoars ago yes and the lig fire dowuhere blocked everything the hoses were all over the street and nothing could pass i got caught tt was hose before me and hose behind so i couldnt get out bat the place is locked foe the uight then t suppose ill hive to stack the boxea here oo the pavement the atufftl freeze if it slays oat all nifiht what can i do v said the man looking much perplexed i was hired to baal it and i have hauled it i cant help the de lay i come along dont bother youreu about it said roberts friend to him it imt any coucern of yours yes it is said robert half absently why it isnt part of your basiness to se to the receiving of the goods no said robert bat i couldnt feci ribl if i didnt try to do something in sach a uiaddle f yoare a simpleton said the other goodhumoredly as he walked avay it isnt pour muddle aud yuu jus turned off loo i jet the boss look after bis own concerns l hare was exactly the difference between the two yoang men robert possessedvery clear and decided ideas as to his daty to his employer and cod id not reconcile his cocsc it- nee to the allowing of his interests to suffer iu any way which lay in his power to prevent even though bis special da ties were entirely taart- from this line of the baiinejf 1 he turned again to the drayman who had ceased unloading aud stood by his horses wearing a look of distress and inde cision if i get into a mess with the boss like enough hell dismiss me he said that wont do said robert heartily hes just dismissed me and so i know how it feels well contrive something i gaess do you know where mr strong lives i might telephone him to know what hed like done but the man did not know robert was beating his brain for eoraeolher plan when the dour of a large store a little distance down ihe street opened antf two or three workman came oat robert darted to wards them reaching the door just as a man stepped out and was about to lock it the young clerk qaickjy explained the perplexing circumstances attending the de layed delivery of the fruit ending with i do you think you could let me store it in here yoa are emply i see yes were empty said the man but im only the janitor of ihe building j have not anything to do with it except to see it locked up aud safe from fire but he coutinaed look fug at the troubled face cf the drayman wha had come near mr rice isnt a hard man and if youu take the risks of it cant doa mite of harm u i can see well jast set u in here for the nig lit if youll see that it is removed before time for work ta begin in the morning mr rice ia having the store fitted ap for opening ill be on hand early said robertthe drayman heartily undertaking to be with him with- willing hands the three worked until the iodwaa transferred within shelter ju v true to i appointment robert was where he had promised to e with the first ray of murky light which made its way among the lull buildiugv and the boxes were oat and piled before mr strongs door meeting the proprietor of the store which had afforded sach valuable help in time of need robert made explanations which were folly satisfactory he seems to be the right sort of chap said mr race looking after robertas he harried to work twasnt his business to look after the fruit so the drayman says well i like the aort that make it their business to look out for the interests of those who hire them theyre scaroe and worth their weight in oid ia a basiness if theyre lively and bright loo as he seems to be out of his situation the man says well if strong doesnt know when hes well off im under no obligation to tell him ill send for the young fellow and talk to him again tho drayman went to mr strong with his report of what had taken place and remembering roberts kiudness to him in bis dilemma did not fail to say a few words in praise of the young mans energy and tired his presence lo the office and said to him i have changed my mind about letting yon go henderson basiness is looking op and i guess yoa may work on thank you air said robert but i have taken a situation with mr race yoa bavs when did be hire yon the day after i stacked the fruit in hit store r hm mr strong was not tbe man to allow anyone to see his chagrin as he noddod a good evcoiug ive made a mistake he said looking after robert thats tbe right sort of fellow to keep about and rice was sharp enough to see it well ill keep standing offer before bimaod perhaps hell come bacv bat mr race was sharp enough to retain a valuable employe when he bad him and robert if enjoying the steady advancement and prosperity which belongs not with eye- service bat
