! The factory foreman
2T was just such an American vil
lage as you see in pictures. A
background of superb bold moun
tain, all clothed in blue-green cedars,
with a torrent thundering down a deep
gorge and falling in billows of foam;
a river reflecting the azure of the sky,
and a knot of houses, with a church
spire at one end and a thicket of fac
tory chimneys at the other, whose
black smoke wrote ever-changing
hleroglyrbics against the brilliancy of
the sky. This was Dapplevale. And
in the rosy sunset of this blossoray
June day, the girls were all pouring
out of the oroad doorway, while Ger
ald Blake, the foreman, sat behind the
desk, a pen behind his ear and his
small, beady-black eyes drawn back,
as It were, in the shelter of a precipice
of shaggy eyebrows.
One by one the girls stopped and re
ceived their pay for one week's work,
for this wa3 Saturday night One by
"A FEE! FOH X.UATt
one they filed out, with fretful, dis
contented faces, until the last one
passed in ' ut of 'the desk.
ishe was slight and tall, with large
velvety-blue eyes, and a complexion aa
delicately grained and transparent as
rose-colored wax, and an abundance of
glossy hair of so dark a brown that
the casual observer would have pro
nounced It black; and there was some
thing In the way tb ribbon at her
throat was tied and the manner in
which the simple details of her dress
were arranged that bespoke her of for
eign birth.
"Well, Mile. Annette," said Mr.
Blake, "and how do you like factory
life?"
"It is not disagreeable," sho answer
ed a slight accent clinging to her tones,
like fragrance to a flower, as she ex
tended her hand for the money the
foreman was counting out
you have given me but four dol
lars" she said. "It was to be eight
j.u! i, the contract"
"HumphJ" be grunted; "you ain't
mucli accustomed to our way of doing
things, are you, mademoiselle? Eight
( of, course; out we usuwi tnv
i 0a vav what?" Annette de
manded, with flushed cheeks and
Darkling eye.
Mjeof getting yew tbe rttuatfoa, nad
emolselle to bo sure," said Mr. Blake,
in a superior sort of way. "Such places
don't grow on every bush. And folks
naturally expect to pay something for
the privilege."
"I did notl" flashed out Annette Du
velle. "Oh well all right Because you
know, you ain't obliged to stay unless
yon choose."
"Do you mean," hesitated Annette,
"that if I don't pay you this money "
"You can't expect to stay in the
works," said Mr. Blake, hitching up
his collar.
"But the other two dollars?"
"Oh," saia Mr. Blake, "that's a per
centage the girls all pay."
"But what is It for?"
"Well, it helps out my salary. Of
course, you know, the girls all expect
to pay something every week for keep
lug their situations in a place where
there's so many anxious to get in."
"And Mr. Elderslle?"
"Oh, Mr. Elderslle," repeated Blake.
"He hasn't much to do with it I am
master at the Dapplevale Calico
Works."
"Mr. Elderslle owns it, I believe'
"Well. ves. he owns It But I man
age everything. Mr. Elderslle reposes
the utmost confidence in mj capacity,
ability and and responsibility. Mr.
Elderslle is a good business man. He
understands his own Interest And
now If you've any more questions to
ask "
"I have none," Baid Annette, quietly.
"But I want this money myself. I
work hard for it I earn it righteously.
How can I afford, and how can the
others among these poor laboring girls,
to pay it to your greed?"
"Eh?" ejaculated Mr. Blake, Jump
ing from his seat as If some Insect had
stung him.
"I will not pay It" calmly concluded
Mile. Annette.
"Verv well verv well. Just as you
like, mademoiselle," cried the foreman,
turning red in the face. "Only if yon
won't conform to the rules of the Dap
plevale works "
"Are these the rules?" scornfully de
manded Annette. '
"Pray consider your name crossed
oft the books," went on Mr. Blake.
"You are no longer In my employ.
Good-evening, Mademoiselle Whatever-
you-may-call-yourself."
And Mr Blake slammed down the
cover of his desk as if It were a patent
guillotine and poor Annette Duvelle's
neck were under it
Two or three of the factory girls,
who had hovered around tho open door
to hear the discussion, looked with
awe-stricken faces at Annette as she
came out with the four dollars which
sho had received from the cashier in
her hand.
"You've lost your place, ma'mselle,"
whispered Jenny Purton, a pale, dark
eyed little thing who supported a crip
pled mother and two little sisters out
of her mulcted earnings.
"And he'll never let you in again,"
added Mary Rice. "He's as vindictive
as possible!"
"it matters not," said Annete. "He
Is a rogue, and rogues sometimes out
general themselves."
"But you can't starve," said Jenny,
"Look here, ma'amselle, come home
with me. It's a poor place, but we'll
make you welcome till till you can
write to your friends.
Annette turned and impulsively
kissed Jenny on her lips.
"I thartk you," she said, "but I do
not need your kindness. My friends
are nearer than you think."
And Annette Duvello went back to
the little red brick cottage, all thatch
ed with the growth of the woodbine,
where she lodged with the wife of the
man who tended the engines In the
Dtpplevale works.
"Does he cheat yon, too, of your
money?" she asked, when Simon Pet
tengill came home, smoke-stained and
grimy, to eat his supper,
"One-sixth I have to pay him," aaid
Simon, with, an involuntary groan, as
he looked at tho live little one around
his board. ' Yea, miss, he's a villals;
but tb world U full of sue. And I
And It a pretty hard world to get on
with. Mr. Elderslle never comes hero,
or mayto things would be a bit differ
ent Mr. Elderslle lives nbroad; in
Paris, they say."
"He is in this country now," said
Annette. "I intend to write to him."
" 'Twon't do no good, miss."
"Yes, it will," said Annette, quietly.
Tho petals of tho Juno roses had
fallen, a pink carpet all along tho edge
of tho woods, and tho Dapplevale
works woro their holiday guise, even
down to Simon Pettlnglll's newly
brightened engine, for Mr. Elderslle
and his bride wero to visit the works
on their wedding tour.
"It's a pity Ma'amselle Annette went
away so soon," said Simon to his as
sistant; " 'cause they say tho master's
kind-hearted in tho main, and she
might have spoken up for herself."
Gerald Blake, in his best broadcloth
suit, anu mustache newly dyed, stood
smiling In the broad doorway as the
carriage drove up to the entrance, and
Mr. Elderslle, a handsome, blonde
haired man, sprang out and assisted a
young lady, -a a dove-colored traveling
suit,- to alight
"Blake, how are you?" he said, with
tho carelessness of conscious superi
ority. "Annette, my love, this is Blake,
my foreman."
"Mademoiselle Annette!"
And Mr. uerald Blake found himself
cringing before tho slight French girl
whom he had turned from the factory
door a month before.
"I must beg to look nt the books,
Blake," said Elderslle, authoritatively.
"My wife tells me some strange stories
about the way things are managed
mere. It became so notorious that tho
rumors reached her even nt Blythcs
dale Springs, and she chose to come
and see for herself. Annette, my dar
ling, the best wedding gift we can
make to the..o poor working girls is a
new foreman. Blake, you may con
elder yourself dismissed."
"But, sir '
"Not another word," cried Mr. El
derslle, with a lowering brow, and
Gerald Blake crept away, with an un
comfortable consciousness of Annette's
scornful blue eyes following blm.
Elderslle turned to his wife.
"You were right, my love," said ho.
"The man's face Is sufficient evidence
ngnlnst him."
And a new reign began for poor
Jenny Burton and tho working girls,
as Tvell as for Simon Pettengw.
Annette never regretted her week's

Good Business.
A writer who spends his summers at
the seashore tells the following story:
An Ignorant countryman who saw the
sen for the first time was much ira-
nrfissed with tho effect of tho bluo
water and asked a fisherman if ho
could tell him the owner, as ho would
like to buy a gallon to take homo to
his wife. Tho fisherman replied, proud
ly: "Us, me man wo own It!"
"Lnnd sakesl" exclaimed tho rustic.
"Could you sell me a gallon for 50
rents?"
"Sure," said tho .fisherman; and ho
disappeared, returning In a few mo
ments with a jar of water, for which
he received the countryman's BO cents.
The latter departed with his pur
Minso. Returning later in tho day, af.
tcr tho tide had gone out, he gazed In
silent wonder at tho water, which had
ran fliind fnr from tho beach.

to secure tho agency for tho St. Paul

not miscarry. They seldom have. In
1800 the Hill, Griggs & Co. transpor

firm was very successful, but not suffi
ciently successful to fult young Hill.
About that time he made many trips
up into North Dakota, or the Red
River valley, and there he saw natural
agricultural facilities second to nono
In the country., It was a howling wil
derness almost,, but neyor mind that;
the opportunities waited to bo taken
advantage of, and young Hill forth
with did take rfdvantage of them. In
1870 he started tho Red River Trans
portation Company, opening up tho
northwostern wilds lo the farmer,
and a year later he had bored his way
Into the interests of tho nudson Bay

But In tho meantime ho bad his eye

In tho city tho popular newspaper

ly press has an equally strong hold on
tho reader. Tho best nrgumont that
advertising pays is found in tho prog
ress advertising has made In tho past
few years both In tho city dally and
tho country weekly.
There Is as much reason why the
country dealer should ndvertlno In his
local nowspaper os that tho city adver
tlser should persistently cry his goods

the country merchant gets fully an
largo returns from his advertising, ac

In preparing his advertisements tho

an advertisement are not all realized
In a week or oven n month. The re

Tito dlroct returns are not all the
advantages of the merchants' adver

itable one. Tho local newspaper Is
constantly pointing out to Its readers
the mistaken policy of buying from
