Two , Caryl Takes a Position. Caryl Marvin awoke early In the morning of toe day upon which she was to undertake her "Job.' Julia, who had lain awake far into the night in , the -restlessness T of t apprehension, was not sleeping heavily. Caryl was too much excited to close her eyes again, but. .lay .still reviewing the -occurences of the day before. 4 , ' She had quarreled with the woman who chanced to be her teacher during the absence of the man who had been her instructor. .; He was -away on his vacation, a fact which .Caryl resented. Mr. Schmidt. had always'been nice to her and had often smiled at her indulgently when she made some error. Not so his substitute. Miss Waters had said that Caryl took dictation too slowly. - "You ought to write more easily after all these weeks here," she declared, "and you should be able to read your notes more readily." , "Lots of people can't read their own notes quickly," replied Caryl. " "I did not say 'quickly, Miss Marvin," the , teacher reminded her. "I said "readily'! "Well, then, 'readily, if that is what you said!" retorted Caryl pertly. "nd I repeat that many stenographers cannot read their own notes readily." i "Then they are not good stenograph ers," replied Miss Waters firmly, "and you will not be one unless you improve more quickly than you do now." "Then I probably won't me one!" muttered the irate girl. Angry tears came to her eyes. 'Miss Water's own patience deserted her. "I do not see," she exclaimed, "what Mr. Jennings was thinking of in giving me such a backward pupil! . He shows a lack of understanding as to how to grade students!" She repented her sharp speech as soon as she had uttered it. She needed the work she was now doing; it meant a salary without which she could scarcely live. If this, foolish girl who seemed to be somewhat of a iavorite with Mr. Jennings chose to repeat to him what the teacher had tsaid of him it might make trouble. Before . Miss Waters could retract her statement, Caryl seized the instrument the older woman had laid ready to her hand; "Perhaps you would like me to tell Mr. Jennings what your opinion of him is!" she suggested spitefully. "I see," glancing at the clocl:, "that it is nearly closing time. As I want to see Mr. Jennings before I go home I will go to his office now." She sprang to her feet and gathered up her books and papers. The startled spinister tried tp pour oil upon the troubled waters.

THE STORY OF

: Such a psychological and physiological phenomena is not infrequently witnessed in a murderer on the morning of his exception; by such a phenomenon a wondering world is stunned by the spectacle of a cowardly, vicious brute dying like a hero or a Christian martyr. Crawley rose and faced the little gentleman from Scotland Yard. His fine face was white, his lips hard set, liia eyes bright, but steady. "You wished to see me?" he asked, with perfect sang-froid. Mr. Paton bowed and murmured a conventional apology for disturbing Mr. Crawley at such a very inconvenient hour. " I suppose," he added, "you know what I have come about?" "I'm afraid I don't," answered Craw ley blandly. "But sit down Mr. Paton. May I offer you. some refreshment a cigar, a whiskey-and-soda?" "No thank you," interrupted the detective; "nothing for me. I never smoke till I've finished my day's work and I am limited to two glasses of whiskey a day, both of which I have unfortunately had." He sat down as spoke and closely observed the ar tist's white face. "You have, of course, heard that Lady Brooke rather mysteriously ' disappeared?" he asked. Crawley feigned unqualified surprise. Is that so?" he asked quickly. "Yes; but surely you do not mean to eay that your friend. Sir Godfrey, has not told you?" "1 haven't heard a word from him today, I I " "You were with him up till about noon, of course?" He Ask Crawley About Lady Brooke. "Yes." Crawley met the "bold scrutiny of the bulgy eyes with sublime nonchalance. "But do give me the particulars, Mr. Paton," he asked eagerly. "This is a great shock to me a terrible shock. I sincerely hope nothing is wrong." "I hope so too. By. the way, Mr. YOUR SPRING TONIC To take a tonic in the Spring is only aiding nature. Everybody needs it.

You may 'be a little nervous and that makes you not as quick as some; but I have no doubt that Mr. Jennings' v Judgment is right , Caryl - stopped her by a gesture. "That remains to be seen,": she said significantly. - "If I can persuade' him to let me take a 'position soon and give up my work. here I may, not think it worth while to tell him that I have heard one his "teachers doubts' his ability to. run a school." There was a" malignant spark in the girl's eyes as she spoke. Now thinking it over as she lay watching the morning light creeping into her room she smiled in self-congratulation, "I spiked her guns, all right," she said to herself. "It made it unsafe for her " to tell .him that she thought I was not fitted to take ! a position. " The scheme had worked. Fate seemed to be on the girl's side, for she had entered Mr. Jennings's office just as he received a message from Mr. Delaine asking for some one who could be his secretary. Caryl had spoken

"I can get in the pond and have a swim and get back home without mother knowing It,", said Bennie Dog. "She is always fussing a'oout men 'and here I am almost grown up. too.' '. Bennie Dog slipped off his-clothes and ran into the water; he could not swim far, but the' water felt cool and he stayed longer than he intended to. Just as he "as crawling up the "bank he heard someone coming down the road and Bennie scampered back into the water and hid behind some bushes near .the bank. It was Tommie Cat taking a walk along the road that be beard, -and when Tommie came to Bennie Dog's clothes he stopped. ""Ha. ha!" he said to himself. "Bennie Dog is in swimming. I don't believe his mother knows it." Tommie Cat looked all around, but did not see Bennie toy anywhere. "Oh. poy Bennie ! " he said. "I am afraid he is drowned. I shall have to take his clothes home to poor Mad- J am Dog and tell her the sad news. Bennie Dog did not hear what Tommit Cat thought and he could not see what he was doing, but as Tommie's footsteps died away down the road. Bennie D6g crawled out again and looked for his clothes. "Whatever will I do?" thought Bennie Dog. "I cannot find my clothes anywhere." ; Bennie sat down on the bank. He could not go home without his clothes; his mother would know he had been in swimming, for he would have to tell her he had lost his clothes. "I'll wait a while," said Bennie. "Perhaps Tommie Cat took them for a joke and will bring them back." But dinner time came' and Tommie Cat did not return. Bennie was hungry and a cool breeze was blowing and he felt cold. "Oh. dear! Oh, dear! What will I do?" Bennie Dog cried. "Oh! how I wish 1 had not gone in swimming." Bennie crawled under a bush and curled up as snugly as he could and went to sleep. When he awoke he heard voices and peeping out, he saw his mother and Grandfather Dog and Tommie Cat coming toward the pond. Bennie's mother was crying, but the thing that made Bennie dog sit up and stare was the way Tommy Cat was dressed. ' ' Ho wore Bennie Dog's red jacket and srjravv hat. "I found them right here," said Tommie Cat as they came close beside the bush where Bennie Dog was hiding. . "Oh! my poor little .fellow," cried Bennie's mother, leaning against . a tree; and Bennie felt so sorry that he almost called out, "Here I am," but he didn't, for he was not quite sure what would happen if be did." "If he was drowned here," said Grandfather Dog. "he may have floated down to the other end of the pond by this eime. We better walk along." "Oh, Tommie Cat, you look so like my poor Bennie Dog in that coat and hat," said Mrs. Dog. "1 am so glad I gave them to you, I know poor Little Bennie would want you to have them." When his mother and grandfather and Tommie Cat were out of sight Bennie crawled out from under the bush and looked up and down the road: no one was in sight, and with one leap he started off on the run for his home. The door was locked so he could not get in, but an old shawl of his motheo's hung on the door and Bennie wrapped it around him and sat down on the steps. In a little while he heard his mother DR.

But she dared not-irritate him again by suggesting a cheaper wine. f "Here, let me crack that for -you." Warren took the huge red claw .with which she was struggling.." "There you are," as he crushed the shell and forked the white meat out on her plate. The wine was served in an ice packed, napkin-covered holder. "That's right." Warren nodded at the label held out for his inspection. With the solicitous air with which a waiter always pours an expensive wine, he filled the ice-chilled glasses. "That's a bully good song," grinned Warren., "Listen to that!" The colored, quartet was playing a rolicking air. The big fat mulatto at the piano singing over his shoulder; "Talk about your subway.
