Iâ€"â€"" ‘"‘Yeu‘ve got your month‘s money," inâ€" terrupted Mr. Jeffery sternly. ‘"What more do you want?" * Well?" he said, now impatiently, . with anger gathering on his heavy face. It wes clear that he did not intend to help her out of her difficulty in speaking. Magâ€" gie wondered desperately why the three shillings which she etill held out to him did not tel! their own tale without need of explanatory words from her. "Don‘t you want the money toâ€"night, after all?" he inquired yet more sharply. "Becavse, if not, why did you bother mo abhout it? You girls ceem to be all fools. You don‘t even know your cwn minds." ‘She had not long to wait, in very truth, for Mr. Jeffery called her to him at the mcement of her reâ€"entering the shop. He was ctanding in front of the pay desk, and he held some money out to her. The tiisl sum of it was three shillings. Magâ€" gâ€"e took it thankfully, and ~then stood gtil, waiting for the rest. "M you pleage, sir, youâ€"youâ€"" She broke off, stammering, and held out her paim with the three shillings lying in it. "1f you please, cir, Iâ€"Iâ€"â€"" she was too confused and too shy to get out the words she wanted to say. She eould only stand, humble and flushed and irszloling, before th‘s man, whom she supâ€" posâ€"d to be her cwn and her mother‘s and Alsels sole stay and hope in all this cruel and strange labyrinth of London. â€" "What are you waiting for?" her. em: ployer jnguired sharply. ‘IT‘he. others are gone, aud the cooner you follow them we better.

The money would make her a messenger ef relief and comdfort. The sooner she arrived, the cooner would her dear ones be made happier. So she resolved to inâ€" dulize in the extravagarce of a seat in the omn‘bus, and went downstairs almost kLgh&»hoarted'ly, saying to herself again take her a good pa:t of the way into the hourt of the great city, and acrocs it to the western eide. She ought not, perhaps, to coceund even so much as twopence in ib s manner now that pence were so few, and bad to be earned so . hardly; every etonomized halfpenny, too, meant a little more fire in the garret which she called sane ca the Monday morning. M‘zs Jones, Mcse Lloyd, and Mics Merriman would bave to wait until Monday this time as wsual; it was only Maggie who was to be pesd teâ€"night. But all the girls knew that the accounts were in process of being arade up, and each of the throe more exâ€" perlerced ones was praying below her Jareath that the deduction which fines wou!d make from the slender sum total af her montsly revenue might be as small o pous ble. â€" But the inexperienced Maggie did not exare their asscret anxiety. Her mork Lrave‘y done, in spite of the bodily fatigue whoch she never now could get sufficient ret to overcome, she was up in the dorâ€" mâ€"tory busily tying up the parcel of her bight clothes to take home with her. If ‘She were not kept waiting for her money, whe would be out of the shop early enough toâ€"a sht to get an omnibus that would home, or a little more nourishing food for the sâ€"ck little girl who lay in pain therein.

"‘Exactly," put in Mr. Jeffery in his turn. ‘"Phat‘s where fines do such a lot cf good. If it weren‘t for ‘em, none of you young women ever mwould think of anything except your own simpering faces and bits of ribbon and nonsence of that kind. In your case, Miss Maitland, I am sorry, of course, that the fines should have totalled up to so large an amount. But, as I said just now, it is entirely your own fault, and I cannot show you any leniency that I haven‘t shown to the othâ€" ers. And I must say that it doesn‘t greatâ€" ly please me that you should only . ‘be sorry for having disobeyed my rules when you findâ€"that your disobedience is costing you some. of }your money. This shows & very bad spirit; a very bad spirit indeed, And now you must goâ€"_at once. It is tims for the shop to be elosed for the night. You had better take your three shillings and ibe thankful.

It doesn‘t make any difference that there were no customers in the shop at the time. Business hours are business houz. You‘d ‘better ibear this in mind. You want straightening up a bit. You don‘t seem to understand properly yet that a shop 23â€" gistant has got to be brisk and emart. You‘ve moved around during the past week or two as if you thought you were doing the floor a favos iby walking about on it. Now, do you want any more of the odds and ends on this list There‘s one fine of a shilling for eating in the shop. You were munching a crust, or something, andâ€"_" Another sob interrupted him. "It wase only a bit of the bread I‘d had on my plate for breakifast, sir,‘ she pro. tested in eager, desperate selfâ€"defence. ‘I hadn‘t time to eat it before I came tipâ€" stairs, and so I ibrought it up in my pockâ€" et, as I was hungry. I didn‘t know I was doing any hanm. I never meant to do any harm about the other things, eithor. It‘s only that I haven‘t had time enough yeb to learn what you want and do it. And oh, sir; if you‘d only let me off a fow of the finesâ€"just a fewâ€"th‘s time, T‘ll proâ€" mise you to try hard to do better next month.. You see, I never thought what I was doing, andâ€"â€"" ‘"‘Now there comes a little item of a shilling for disorderly conduct in the shop. You have been much too inclined to forget that your hour= jbehind the counter are your business hours, and beâ€" long to me, and that corsequently any moments epent in laughing and chatterâ€" ing with your fellow shopâ€"girls are moâ€" ments robbed from me. This very evenâ€" sequently his voice hardened still more as he proceeded with the miserable cata: logue of the sins of omission or commisâ€" sion. for which she mwas now financially suffering. He paused to scrutinize her white face in order to acsure himself that she had become keenly alive to the delinquencie; which she had committed and the shortâ€" comings in particular which he had found it necessary to rekuke her. He saw her lips quiver, but he thought at the same time that she looked stubborn; and conâ€" "Ignorance of the law is no excuse," reâ€" turned her empleyer, shaking his heard. ‘Didn‘t I toll you you had to copy ths rules out for yourself and take them homs and learn them by heart? You could do this very well on Sundays; it would be a better way of spending the day than lazâ€" ing wibout, as I daresay you do. Well, now, and here‘s the next fineâ€"two ghil: lings for being late after the time allow ed for dinnerâ€"it shows there‘s a lot Of laziness in you whenever there‘s nobody to stir you up, and here are some more sixpence for unnececsary talking in bed room; sixpence for striking matches careâ€" lessly about the premises; sixpence for defacing wall with nails; threepence for keeping customer waiting; threepence for leaving piece of buttered bread on plato at teatime; threepence for carrying slico of bread up to dormitory. All food must be caten at the proper meal times." "It mwas only a little picce of brown Paâ€" per and about a yard and a half of string that I took away, sit," she pleaded in gelfâ€" defence. "I never thought that anybody could look on that as thicving. And I didn‘t know there was a ruleâ€"" "Here, Ill read you down some of the fines on your list, and then, perhaps, you‘ll understand and clear out, instead of keeping me here, with the gas burning to mzate." He stepped back into the cashier‘s box. and in the next momeat again with the notebook that had been lyâ€" ing coen on the desk. He showed Magzie a long column of figures extending over three pages of it. ‘"That‘s your lot." He read out a few of the items." "For taking two pieccs of paper and one piece of string out cf the shop withâ€" out permission, contrary to rules, three shillings." A cry of surprise, mingled with a ha‘fâ€" stiffled sob ‘broke from the trembling girl‘s throat. "There!" commented ‘Mr. Jeffery, with increasing eeverity of tone. ‘That was dewnright «dishonesty! If I find you doing it a second time I shall call it thieving and you mnvill be punished accordingly." "But it was ~eixteen shillingsâ€"sixteen shillings," the misercible, dimlyâ€"wondering girl repeated in an odd, strained vo‘ce. It was clear that she hardly knew what she said. She stcod with decperate, pitiful eyes uplifted to Mr. Jehery‘s rebukeful countenance.

One of the most arduous duties which falls to the lot of the soldiers is perhaps that of outpost work, the special functions of which are to gather information concerning the enemy‘s movements. In order to obtain this information nearly every dâ€"vice is tried ; one such method is shown above. â€" Under certain conc‘â€"= ns a windmillâ€"offers a good point of vantage for an observer, who â€"i2â€"«i= on the axle, lining his body up against the arm of the sail (Concerning the general duties of outposts, the following quotaticn {rom an officer‘s letter was pubâ€" lished recently in The Times: "I went on about 300 yards in front of my scouts. It was a pretty jumpy job. The enemy‘s trenches were about 950 yards from ours. I paced about 158 yards andâ€" then got down on my hands and knees and crept on for some way, expecting every moment to run into the German trenches. It was pretty black, and I could only see a few yards in front of me. I had a loaded reâ€" volver and map with me. Every now and then I came across a dead German.. Well, I couldn‘t think why I hatn‘t struck the trenches, so I went off on my left a bit. The stars had gone in and I was pretty well lost in the middle of this big plateau." She knew where Miss Dare was now; that is, unlees she and the young preachâ€" er and their party had left the neighborâ€" hood of Stoke Newington within the last two or three days. So she set her white, trembling lips, and made her difficult way thitherâ€"towards the north of Londonâ€"as fast as her tired feet would bear her. Presently she might have to spend some coppers out of the three shillings on some method of conveyance if such were to be had. Hervown tired little feet could never carry her so far unaided. 7 2 How happy che had been in those daySi when she was Christine Daro‘s sewing maid! How much better it had ‘been tfl live then in her quiet country sphere o humible work than it was to live now, toiling almost without rest for sheer bread â€"and row confronted with the mrospect of failing to get the bread! _ She oped away from the questioning policeman, and went in the direction of the heant of the Metropolis. She had made up her mind what she was going to do. She was ncot going home at once with these three shillings, still clasped in her cold palm. Bhe was going first to Chris tine Dare, her former mistress, to appeal for the help which she had been so proudâ€" ly unwilling ito ask for before. . An hour pacced, and the end of it found her still there. The ead of ajsecond hour might have found no difference had it not been for the passing cof a policeman, who stepped and asked her what she mwas doing there. The girl got up then and braced herself. in a dazed way, to face the world again. Ah, yes, it would be bitter to have to acknowledge that she herself, the trusted breadwinner, had by her awkiwardness and ignorance and general failure to please brought upon their heads this bitâ€" terest of all possible disappointments. The fault wase hers, alfter all, but they, as mwell as hergelf, would have to auffer for it. How could she go and conmfess to them how tlind and fool:sh she had been, ard would they not have every reason to reproach and rebuke her, eâ€"pecially when she should bave to acknowledgo that her felâ€" lowâ€"workers, Mics Jones, Miss Lloyd, and Mics Merriman, did manage somehow to take home a proportion worth mentioning of their legitimate earnings? She herselt must be a very awkward, helpleez, incomâ€" petent girl to make mistakes enough . to albsoib so many shillings, and Alice, dear little Alice, would have to bear the hardâ€" est brunt cif the consequences of her unâ€" cpeakable folly.

Despair? yes. it was comething very like decpair which had overcome her on this evening of her ter.lole dearppointment. How cou‘d she go home with only tho three shillings instead â€"of_ the wsixteen which she was expecied to bring. What were old Mre. Maitland and the little s:ok sister to do in the dour or five weeks which would have to elarsa bafore any . more money came into the poor feraily treasâ€" ury? The present was iblack enough; the ipresent with ite fireless garrot and foodâ€" less oupboard. But the future threatened to be cven worse; and the more so by reason of the fact of a hideous suspicion having been roused in herâ€"a cuspicion that, try as she might, work as hard as she might, obey. the shep rules asâ€" she might, there yet would always be & colâ€" umn of deductions for juct and unjust fines, which would reduce her monthly inâ€" stalment of salary, or wages, whichever people might choose to call if, to so poor a eum in comparison with what it ought to have been that to count on it any longâ€" er as a certain means of support for her adcptive mother and sister would be both futile ard foolich. He had been practically pushing the girl out of the shop as he spoke, and his last words were followed by the slamming of the outer door behind her. She found horâ€" self alone with her bitter disappointment and grief, out in the inclement night of snow and icy east wind, with her three shillings hold tight in her close shut palm, and with the idea of going home gone utâ€" terly out of her mind. The omnibus, which earlier in the evening she had planâ€" ned to take, presently ruimibled along tho road closs by the pavement whereon . she stcod; but in her halfâ€"dazed denpair she let it go by urstopped and almcst unnoâ€" All this was not quite clear to her as yeb; it was only beginning to dawn darkâ€" ly upon her brave unhappy little soul. In the meantime the home must still be thought of. Ought sho not awfter all to 5g0 there at once? Was it not better to take the three shillings there straightway than to keep the watching old mother racked with susper=e just because the ontire sim was not forthcoming? She did not dream as she went that the Windmill Used by Frerch Outpost for Observation Purposes. "Here, my son,""‘ said the father to, Willie. ‘"what does this ~mean? Your report| gives you only fifty for arithmetic,. and your teacher makes the comment that vyou can‘t count up to twentyâ€"five. What are you goâ€" ing to do with such a record when you go into business!? _ ‘‘Now don‘t worry, father,‘‘ replied the son. ‘‘To count up to twentyâ€"five isn‘t necessary for success in busiâ€" ness nowadays."" ©‘Not necessary gasped the father. ‘‘No, sir. I can start a tenâ€"cent store.‘" When a fellow is always on the fence, he ought to be pretty well balanced. As she went she revolved in her mind her experiences during the past month in the shop, and the long list of offences which Mr. Jeffery had so unsparingly read out to her a little while ago. What an overwhelming list it had been, eating up, as it had done, not only her month‘s money. but also all excent three shillings of the amounts which she had earned as premiums by successfully selling certain goods which had been a long time on hand. She had of late striven hor very utmost to do her work so well that her employer might be more than satisfied with her; she had used all the power of persuasion that she pcsseâ€"sed to induce customers to buy more then they had come in for. She had done everything to promote Mr. Jefâ€" fery‘s interests except tell the lies that he had required her to tell. The simple faith which had been taught her from her earliost yeare had not allowed her to obey him in this matter. For example, when some evidently poor custemer would ask for a better quality of calico than any which the shop had in stock, it was exâ€" pected of the assistants that thoy should, by a iittle adroitnecs of hardling, show the first article again, describing it as a better qualisy zoods and fixing a correâ€" eporndingly higher price upon it. . Mieges Jones, Lloyd, and Merriman, practsed this game daily, seeing no harm in it, and having even ibecome proficient in it, but simple littls Maggie, aston:ched _ and grieved regarded it with horror as a disâ€" honest practice, and shrank from it with a quiet persistence which had â€"several times angered both Mr. and Mrs. Jeffery that the unconccious offender had several times narrowly escaped instant digmisea,l.‘ Her companions had only laughed at her scruples. ; (To be continued.) Yes; this was indeed to be a momentous night for Chrstine Dare and Brian Hardy. But Maggie Maitland, tramping to Stoke Newington in the eagerness of her great need, could not foresee this.. She could not have guessed that such would tbe the caso, even had she been less desolate at heart, and thereby able to think of whait might be happening to otheâ€"s outs‘de her own unhappy little family. She felt ms if a second great disappcintâ€" ment on this unhappy night would break down her stremgth and her hope for ever. She walked as long as she could, asking her way of the very few persons whom she met. The snow weas still falling in whirls, driven by the Aerce wind; she felt the inâ€" teme cold )._netrate through her threadâ€" bare jacks: to the very marrow of her bones NC caid to horeelf that it was wonden‘â€"l 2cww tmuch more one felt the cold whea cne was in trouble than when one‘s hcea.t wes light arnd happy.
