half-past eleven, the manuscript was finished. Lois ran to help her mistress with dinner then hurried back to the library to i1 . ,3 await Miss Olsorfs return. When the young lady entered, she did not notice Lois. She. 4,4 , a went directly to the machine and began turning through ihe 4 :371 sheets of the manuscript, 11Why-ewhy4L-but just then she ;, i, caught a glimpse of Lois, who was watching her. 319131,... 11My dear girlie? cried Miss Olson throwing her a1 ms $5111 1 around the slender figure, 111 didrft know you could copy so VR e11. 14,.771 4 I shouldnit know the difference between your work and my a own? 1: 3-. After this Lois made great plans and one day she eonf.ded them to Miss Olson. ttD-o you ever have more copying than you 1 can do ?11 Lois asked. , i1 1tYes, indeed. Only this morning I had to refuse--there, why didrft I think of you? You could do it? 110, wouldn1t that be jollyV, cried Lois as she gave Miss w. 3 Olson a loving hug.

TTThis has simply got to take the prize? Lois said to herself, as she sat hemstitching an apron b There was to be a fair in Little Rock. A prize had been offered for'the best hemstitched apron and Lois Mattison was trying for it. The money was to help pay her expenses in high SchooL , At last the day of exhibit arrived and among the little white aprons might be seen the one Lois had worked. Her heart sank as the prize was awarded to one of her schoolmates. Leaving the fairgrounds she took the street which went by the school house. Two months before this, she was a very happy girl as she passed over the same road, for then she had just com- pleted the eighth grade and had prospects of entering high school. But now owing to her mothefs failing health and her fath-efs limited incomeall hope must be given up unless she could earn her own way. When she reached home, great was her surprise to find her parents preparing for a trip to Colorado. The doctor had been there that afternoon and said that Mrs. Matteson must have a Change of climate. Arrangements had been made for Lois to work for her board at Mrs. Larkins . KTI might as well make the best of it? thought Lois,.when she received the news. So without a grumble she took up her abode at Mrs. Larkin's. Miss Olson, a stenographer, who copied lectures on the typewriter after her office hours, was boarding there. She and Lois became intimate friends. Lo1s never grew tired of watching the stenographens busy fangers as they flew over the keys. Miss Olson, seelng what an. 1ntelh- gent girl she was, taught her how to write on the naachme. TTOh Lois, what on earth shall I do Pd cried Miss Olson as She came rushing into the room one evening. TtProfessor Law- rence wants this lecture finished by Wednesday. I am afra1d I candt do it' unless I catch a few minutes in the morning. To- morrow evening I have other work? . . The weary fingers were still at work when L015 sald good- night. But Miss Olson overslept in the mornmg and had to hurry off to the office without a moment at the typewrlter. . As soon as she had left the house, Lois went to the maehlne. Her heart leaped wildly at the step she was taking; even 1f she did fail the 'only thing would be the waste of paper,abut she was not going to fail. She had already told her plans to Mrs. Larkin; who relieved her of her duties for the forenoon. By

little birds chirp and chatter among themselves making com- ments, as it seems, on the glorious morning. The soft, tender tones wafted along the gentlest of breezes come from afar off. It is the school bell; calling the happiest of boys and girls of that mountain country to a little square school house down at the foot of a sunshiney cliff to school where studies are most loved among boys and girls, who have only nature to make them happy and, as a result, are always happy; to boys and girls whose minds are ever bright and redo,- to graSp things that are good. Climbing from my lofty perch as the bell ceases ringing and leaving one of the most beautiful scenes in the world, I take up the tasks of the day. alames Washburne, ,14. H OWAR D D AN :1 EL. Howard Daniel, a young man of twenty-one and an employee of the Chicago Imperial Furniture Company, sat with his feet upon the littered pine table that served him for a bookkeeperis desk, as it had served a half dozen predecessors. With chest Collasped and Chin drawn in, failure was plainly written upon a face lengthened by extreme dejection. The droop at the corner of his mouth and the tired look about his eyes marked one whose enthusiasm and ambition were all gone. The clock on the roof of the Herald Building was just strik- ing twelve and the sound was carried far in the clear atmosphere, despite the clangor of cable'cars, the rumble of wheels and the multifarius noises that made this part of the city a bedlam at the-noon hour. Hetknew that his employer would soon be in, as it was his custom to look into the office before he went out for luncheon. Howard much preferred not to see him today, as he had been fifteen minutes late that morning, on account of a street car delay,' and he knew by the way Mr. Herrington had glanced at him that there was a reprimand in store. 7 When Mr. Herrington came in, he was very angry and threatened to give Howard his wages and discharge him; then he decided to give the boy,,just one more trial. Mr. Herrington was a tall, heavy set man with slight drooped V shoulders and a broad furrow-ed forehead which indicated worry and responsibility, that had not improved his irritable disposi- tion. Heavy, shaggy eyebrows almost concealed his stern, deep- set eyes, while a square, firmly set jaw gave him an appearance, which would indicate to a stranger that it would not do to thwart his wishes. Howard was not the only one who found it hard to please him; for he was a man who cared for nothing but money. It was i this miserly spirit that caused him to fail to provide the usual conveniences in his office and in all departments of the store
