She is next to me in the line of promotion and, oh, ever so much more expert at stenography work than myself. She is poor, friendless, she tells me, except for a crippled brother in a hospital." "I'm!" snorted Mr. Ross, who did not at all like Miss Elson. "She has played: that for fair on your sympa- thies, has she?

Mary went home with a happy It is something for one bird to telt another that Canada has created a series cf reserves in the Province of Quebec where birds are safe from man-made troubles. Unlike most bird refuges, Perce Rock, a pic- turesque island near Perce Village; the east and north cliffs of Bona- venture Island, three 'miles further away; and the northernmost of the 'Magdalen Islands, 124 miles out to | 'sea, have been set apart specifically to protect birds whose value to man- part of nature. There is no attempt to argue, for example, that the gan- net, the kittiwake, ar the razorbill auk should be protected because they "help: the farmer'; they are protect- ed simply because they are birds. ~~ No human being may steal an egg from: their nests; may - be, brought within a mile of their island sanctuaries. Naturally ; all other birds are equally safe, and 'the three refuges will be a help to- ward carrying out the purpose of the * international treaty for bird "protec- tion. J «Making Over" a Climate The latest: 'suggestivn to ard "making over" a climat: deals wii that of Rastern Canada, which man; people think would be {igproved if it were mada milder, Mv. 'RB. T. Elliott, a Canadian engiiecr, thinks such a change could be brought akout by closing Belle Isle Strails. Arnoug the opinion, would be that Montreus! would becowe an open port during the whole year, the banks of per- petual blossom cf iowers and shrub- bery. and, incidentally, people «ll the 'world over would Jong. to live there. As an engineering preblem, there seems no reason' to donbt that the Straits could be closed, aithongh at an expense which Ca mad might not assume just al this time. Whether the seasons ia be greatly changed is another watrer, not conclusively settled by thooreti- cal probabilities. He Was Through.

She received a grim, sarcastic glance from the chief clerk wv henever she met him and others in the office made under- toned remarks as to her being a sim- pleton. One day while they were at 'Tuncheon at a restaurant, just as they Aros from a table, Blanche accosted young man passing them. Mary 3s introduced to Mr. Arthur Holmes, who spoke a few words to both as they went their w ay and then took a chair at the table they had just vacated. He was a _serious-fa ed 'but frank-eyed young man, and did not seem at all in harmon vith the free, over-friend- ly manner, of Blanche; but Mary seemed to bays a decided interest for! him. {© "1 worked or Mr. Holmes once," plained Blanche. Somehow the memery of Mr. Holmes was a pleasant 'one with Mary. She had reached home and was getting ready for tea when there came a ring at the.door. Mary, quite flustered, faced Arthur Holmes, hat in hand. . "l'urdon my unceremonious call," he said, "but after you left the restaurant I found a purse lying on a chair. Some money and your card were jnside and I have taken the' liberty of returning it." Mary had not missed the purse. She thanked Mr. Holmes and was not sor- try to escape the loss of several dol- , lars. She asked him in and her moth- ex- 3 er invited him to remain at their eve- ning meal. Mr. Holmes lingered for lowing Tuesday. A change. came over Mary Dunston 'after that. Blanche had offended most of the office employees with her queen- ly airs, affecting the rightful domina- | tion of a superior. She rather ignored Mary and then, bit by bit, the latter began to discover the true character of the girl she had benefited. "She has fooled you sadly and meanly, Miss Dunston." a fellow emn- ployee told Mary. "She has no crip- pled brother, she spends more than half she earns at dances, cabarets and the like, and she sneers at you behind your back as a silly. fool hoy she has duped. " Mary was grieved and «hurt, but there was compensation for the base betrayal. a regular caller at the Dunston home. He was Mary's first steady caller and a new life of pleasant rational enjoy: 'ment was begun in his cheery, courte- ous companionship. "Oh, Miss Dunston," one "day said the. same. « girl employee who had spoken to her before. "Miss Elson hax been discharged for nonattention to work." © "You surprise me," said Mary. "Yes, and she left last evening in a great huff. And what do you think! 1 saw her later coming out of a caba- ret, quite unsteady; so to speak, and "the young man I have seen you with, se much was Helping her into a cab."
