Tiiis time there was no mistaking the

"Harry, I should be very angry with

I want vutt to understand that girls

"It is not man's work, Harry," said
the girl, quickly. "Work is classified
according to its excellence, and not
the sex ol 'I he worker. Hut there is no
nsc in arguing with you," turning to
leave the room, -"tin second thought,"
and she paused on the threshold, "let
me predict that you will fall hopelessly
in love with one of this very cliss of
women, marry her, aud become a
thorough convert to theideaof women

'Marry' a creature of that stamp?

Harry Itiellougall was not at heart
uu luioieraut man, out nis wnoie lite
environment had been conservative in
tiie highest degree.
His residence in the west had' becu
but short, and he was daily surprised
at the freedom accorded women about
liiui. He marveled at the nnconscious
nesa with which business men accepted
into their precincts the.enlranco of
business women, and abhorred,
tnrough ignorance of the thought of
the times, their "intrusion," as he
called it.
lint a few months before young Me
Dougall had come to Kansas from
Connecticut to take charge of a flour-
inir mill iatlv nnrfthnjuari Vitr ltlv Inthu,
a property situated in a small town
buiuu tinny nines west oi feiuston,
Henrietta's home.
The business was prospering, and
prosperity does not make an intolerant

liston his altercations with Henrietta
had become more spirited, culminating
in the application by the girl for posi
tion as bookkeeper in his mill, and his
pompous refusal of it
The next morning, before breakfast,
a telegram Informed Harry that .his
father had been the victim of an acci
dent in the old. mil! at home, and de
sired the ii.iiiio.,iute pic;e:ico of his
on. He h.ui barely time to write in
structions to his bookkeeper, placing
necessary (andtt at his disposal, before
the nost train for the east.
"What a pity you did not accept my
offer of yctcrday,'' raid Henrietta
jokingly, ju they stood beside liai
wattiu;; train. "Just, think how ivoli
Icouki b..ve taken care of your inter

"l'oaf!'' ejaculated -liitrrv, with ejt.l

trueting news came from the west that
his trusted '.bookkeeper '(Henrietta's
detestation), had .deft suddenly, with
me content oi inc sate, j ,
Tiie young man's state of mind can 1
be iinarnned. His father was not yet '

thar!"
With a light heart, Harry pushed
open the omee door, then stopped,
aghast! He saw, busily writing at the
desk, not the bent form of David
Boardman, but a young lady. For a
moment he stood staring at the trimly
attired figure and sleek, dark hea d
Then a low, yet decisive voice said:
"Were there any letters for us to
night, John?"
Before Harry could frame a reply,
the young woman, turning, met his
gaze.. .She rose and advanced, a trifle
of color coining to her cheek, yet her
demeanor cool and unruffled, and asked:
"I beg your pardon, sir. I thought
It was the janitor. Is there anything
I can do for you?"
Harry pulled himself tnirthor n,i
replied:
"I should like to see Mr. Boardman "
The girl looked nuzzled fm- mn.
ment, men answered:
"I fear yon have made a niisuilm
,Jir, Boardman lives in Elliston, the
next town east."
"I certainly can have made no mis
take," returned Harrv. deoideillv "1
have letters in my pocket dated at this
piace, ana settling the details of a
transaction by which he becomes part
owner of this property."
"Jir. lloarilnnn certainly ha no in
terest here." stated -his informant, "J
am Miss lioardumn, ancl have' bought
half this mill, which I am managing
until Mr. McDougall arrives from the
east".
For an instant Harry felt as though
he were on a toboggan slope several
miles long, not knowing where th'e.cnd
might be; but he pulled" himself (to
gether and handed the lady one of his
cauls. .
At sight of the piece of pasteboard
the young lady looked wondcrstruck,
and again flushed a trifle. Then she
looked up, and ventured: ; , -
"And you thonfrhW ,,; .
"Yes. I thought so." ho riiiubfI
comprehensively. "But I am so be
wildered uowtjiat fam past all think
ing. Will yon please explain some,
things that I cannot understand?"' '
Within a few moments Harry ilia
covered that instead of selling an in
terest in hismlll to Mr. David V. Board
man, he had delivered it over tn a
Philistine in the person, of Dor
othy P. Uoardmnn, "the aforesaid
gentleman's niece and junior-partner,
that she, having extra funds on her,
hands, and hearing of JlcDougali's
trouble, had felt sorry for him, inves
tigated, found that the investment
would be a good one, aud.made him an
offer. . .,..';.
She had not intended to deceive him,
but had merely sitrned her name u
she was in the habit oi doing in her
tmsmess relations, without dreaming
of being contused with her ancle, not
tailing into awomit Harry's short resi
dence in the state. ... .
It was as.onishing to-see how readi
ly the yonn.? man reconciled himself
to having for a partner this yonng,
businesslike woman,'; with the bright
eyes and ojiiet voice. : ,,-
Miss'lioardmau went back to Ellis-:
ton at once, aud Harry took up iiis
work alono. His bookkeeper was
never found, perhaps becauve'' 'tlio
amount of his embezzlement was not
large enough to make much itir, but
Henrietta s:;i! it was because ot his
''broader outlook.".
