‘"‘Wlinl js llio mutler, Slclla? Voii lock ns if some mi^forlmie had huppehed lo VtCi.’'

The girl addressed wiis. a lull, sliilely young creulure, .slill in her “ Icens,” with’a sinking face, iiiid a manner whicli, llioiigli not aw kward, was a little loo abrupt and energetic lo be graceful. She ruphed:

“ 1 am disc^rra-gedr^“ VVliatl ^ u ? d i d n ’t suppose you

ever could be lIiiiV|j and I don't see why you should he. I'm sure if I were geltiiig llfteen dollars a week, m a steady situalion, with hours only from nine iiiiltl live, 1 Should think the woild very charming.”

The last speaker was a sleiHlcr, ileiicutc womuu,' iir her early iweiUies, and tlie work on her lap ami lying about belruvetl lier occupalion to be lliivt of a drc'^smtiker. Site'sighed a.s she spoke, 'iiu'l did not slop her busy sliiching while she talked.^

*T know, aear,” saiil Stella, ruefully, “ it does seem fingiiiieful In me'lo find fuult witli my pocilioii; hut ihcii I am not to good and jmi' iciit as you; iiml ! iicn, loo, 1 am constaiijlly seeing men advaiiceil wl.ile I stand .still. My salary is the same .as it was two years ago; ^el d_imii.g lIuU Tuiu* almost every clerk in Mr. (Jruikshaiik’s uHicc lias been-iTi’omolod. uiul Iheie isn’t one o f ‘them who is any more faitlihii' or clever than I. T);ey have had clmiiees lo show their capabiliiies i 1 have not. Mr. Cruikshunk Heals me uli cly,—lhal is, ho 18 courleous, and all tlml—but lie never e.vpccl.s Riiylhiiig of me beyr.Md my daily muiid of laking hliorlhimd notes' of his loiters and instruclion.s, anil then lype- vv.rlUng them.,.. I find, indeed, lluiL lie gives me the most importanl of this sort of work to do, bccnu.se I make so few mis- lukes; but that is ns far as I gel, a,nd il docvsn'i siili'fyme. My,father was a niim who advanced lapidly, and would have become wcallhy hud ite lived longer. 1 am liKo him in energy and will, and 1 think, loo, in clear busiuesa pen epUoiis."

VVliile Stella was lalkmg, she wa# walk­ing about the room pulling away u few things, and gcttilig ready to go nut.

“ Your cluince will conic, Stella. It- must! You litive gruuiKleii yourself so well, and are always so rendy for every enulgcncy. J think if \uu were asked to go to Alaska lo-nigiit, you could bo oil before 1 coulfl gel iuy mind imiile up, and while i should have In lake a liuiik, you could go with only a grip-sack.”

t!>te]la laughed. “Yes, I suppose I could, fur 1 am always well and strong, and don’t necd-lo carry bolli thick cloliica and Ihin, to be prepared tor all changes of weallier, or to burden myself with an alcohol lump, a hot-wuler bag, and all Inc i#st of the traps that w'ould be absolutely necC.s.sar) tor a frail liKle thing like von. Keally, Kitty, 1 am ushamed at having been for a moment discoimiged, wlicii 1 look at yon and see liow liurd ion work, ami remem­ber whul you have to contend iigainsl, and all without a murmur.” 8o snyiiig, the tail girl held to kiss her companion’s ptil<5 cheek, and turned willi quick, (irni step to go lo the ofHce where sac was always on time—not a moment loo soon or loo lute.

Arrived at the office of llie great Anglo- American Polyglot Insurunce Company, Stella was surprised by Uie picsem^e of iho Amei’icuu liead of tlie firm, who usually by noVuean.s maulfesled Ihe prompiness which lie requiietl of his subordinates. He sat forward la his cliair. Ins elbows resting on hi8 desk, Uie lips of the fingers of [lolli hands pre8 ed tiglilly logcllicr as he held them erect and sliglilly waving in ihe air belore his face, Ins whole bearing that of a mau wlio is brimful of an impatience which he IS striving lo control-

Apparently he did not see Sudla, though his eyes rested on her a Iructiun of a sccoiKLui..Uieii -rupid sweep; so he was gieallv flurpristul when she stepped quuMly forward, saying in her low. clear vbice:

vVUiie lie was speaking Slclla liad been resuniiiig her lull and jacket', and slic wa.s out of tlie door hv the time the lust word wiiB spidien. A few minule.s more and she was in the room she had so laltdy left, ex­claiming;

Kitty rose lia>lily. “ Wb'd.ciHi j dp to liclp you'r” 's!ie askcii, h.ei' face llii.sliiiig with generous pleasuie.

While talking Stella was putVmg into iier satChcl'a few toilet arlicleH,' ii cliangc of un'dei’clnthmg, a night dress, a [mir of I’ubbei’s and a waterproof.

“Guod-ht'e,” she said, and with a waim kiss the friends parted.

“ I will do II,” she said fli’inly. without awaiting the . tMUie|n.s!on of Mr, (.Jnnk- sliank's ‘'cntciiee, while a rich glovv iikmuiI- ed to her (dieeU and the light of couruge and self-rellancP came into her e} c-j.

Notwithstanding the season, tlu; weaUie.r was pleasant during most of tin: voyage, and Hlella Bpenl mueli time on deck, t:n- joyiiig lo the full the bracing air and the sciLse of frebdum from care of eVery sort, bhe knew llmt she had been cnlru«lcd with an important uiiiUer. filic muijl secure, an I llmt fiuickly, the powers ncccsHary to enable Mr. Cruiksliank to act for the di­rectors in a grave emergency. Sonu’ of ll)c.>ie directors, a.s .she liad galluu’ed from her correspomlence, were distrustful, ami in the words applied lo Carijlo by Ids inollier, sliglilly mndifled, “ gey dl lo deal wi’,” bill (luring the voyage lijtella would not allow herseif to dwell upon lliis, and on tlie whole, she felt herself equal to (he task she hud umlertakeii. It way not self- eouceil which, gave lien this eonfideiice, but a just stdT-relianec. Roih cmiscioii.sly ,aiid uncoubciously she had ad her Lie been training lier every faculty of mimi and bydy. She had ever done with her ]>ow- ers all lhal was lior.s to do, uml she knew Uiut, now iH-r “eliance” was come, slie should be capable of improving it.

The morning of the 5ih of December found Stella tauded in Liverpool, just in tunc to allow her to call upun the two di- recUrs wlio resided in llial city, and with, onlwfming for dinner, to catch the Irulh which, I’UHhing up the two liumlred mde.s lo London, would get her there m lime lo meet the directors before hiisiuess hours were over. If curious looks were cast at the quiet, self-possessed young girl, IraYeb ing alone, and proving her ability lo do so, she was loo earnest to heed lliein.

“ I was tbiuking, brother Ward, that^our trip llirougb the meadow cacli day islike little things that are ouly indulged m occasiouallv until they become habits. Before you know it lliey have made paths right in the heart and life, and crushed the beautiful verdure of good out of the place that God designed for it.

Thus the inroads of sin gel ioto Hie fair fields of the iiearl, until many, if not •Hi of its beauties are trampled down and destroyed.
