Mrs? Glenfie e-< By ZIEXJCX FOI ^ *2?J GSB CSEMTST^T^^ CE33S5 OBB9 "It's no use talking," said Mrs. . Glenfield, energetically. "Poor? Yes, I dare say he's poor; but so am 1 poor. I need the money for my rent, ana this is six weeks he's behind. Go to his room, Ernestine, and take the "bill; it's high time the money was paid." Mrs. Glenfield was a sharp-nosed, 'Jong-featured matron, whose face, originally pleasant enough, had grown sharp and acid with years of weary struggling to make both ends meet. A wido- who keeps a New York boarding house has plenty of 'opportunity to look on the shady side of things, and Mrs. Glenfield, somehow, found herself growing mis anthropical as she grew older. Ernestine, her eldest daughter, took the proffered slip cf paper, somewhat reluctantly, and went slow ly upstairs with it. She was a slight, small creature, with bright brown eyes, hair of soft chestnut hue, and arch, pretty fea tures. If Ernestine Glenfield had been the petted daughter of a rich man, her natural advantages set off hy swan's-down, silk and jewels, the world would have pronounced her a beauty. As it "was, with fate and for tune against her, she even was re "murkably pretty. I She knocked softly at Mr. Hamey's door, and a dejected voice answered: "Come in." . Ernestine pushed open the door and entered. .* Wallace Harney sat at the dingily coiered table, his head resting on his ^fflra^r^ThTliandful of sullen-look ing red coal glowed like ? vindictive eye from the socket of the grate. A pile of papers, loosely tied together, lay on the tahle, close to his hand, with an open not?, containing the "respectfully declined" of some great ' publisher, who had never taken the trouble to read Wallace Hamey's carefully written manuscript. . Mr. Harney was a young man, prob ably thirty years of age, but he felt much older. He had been fighting destiny all his life, and up to the present moment he had had the worst of the encounter. No wonder that he felt almost inclined to despair. Hb staVted up, however, at the light sound of Ernestine's footsteps on the worn carpet. ? -Miss Glenfield!" "You used to call me Ernestine," she said,.half laughing. -What makes you ?0 ceremonious now?" "I don't know," he said, vaguely, pushing the damp hair from his hot forehead. "Did -you want anything of .me?" Ernestine colored and hesitated then she laid the bill on the table close to the inexorable editor's note. Wallace Hamey saw it, and his cheek grew as scarlet as her own. "Mamma wishes-that is, she i hopes-"j hesitated poor Ernestine, who was a very bad hand at deceiv ing. "I see," said Mr. Hamey, " 'your money or your life'-that is the fash ionable formula nowadays. But if you happen to liave no money, what then?" "I-I am very sorry," said Er nestine, meekly. \ "I do not know why you should be," said Mr. Harney. "It is six weeks since I have paid your mother anything, but it is not bocause I have not been working hard. " "Mamma's rent came due last week," said Ernestine, feeling as if every drop of blood in her body were turned to liquid fire, "and-oh, Mr. ,Harney, I am so sorry!" The last words broke from her lips as she saw the pained look of mortification in the young author's face. Involuntarily she put her hand in her pocket, and drew out a rustling twenty-dollar bill. "Uncle Jason gave it to mc for a new dress," she said, "but my old one is good yet-black silk always looks well, you know, no matter how long ^jbu have worn it. Please, please, Mr. gHarnoy, take it." gi .'He pushed away her soft little hand g&lmost Irritably. "Ernestine!" he cried, passionate ly, "I am not yet fallen so low as to giake your little capital." %;-"But you will pay me back some may," she'urged, sill holding out the : bill. "I would rather not risk it." "Then let me give it to you. Oh, Mr. Hamey, please!" ijj?.-'He looked up in her face with a sardonic sor: of iauyh-the soft, pity ing light in her eyes seemed to strike j$ new chord in his heart. 'I will not take it, Ernestine; but, ieve me, it has done me just as ich good as if I had spent it all. si! your mother I cannot pay her I, hit zhe is welcome to my. poor belongings here.

"Yes." -Where?" "To the river, the railroad track, any lonely, desolate place, where I can end a life that has hitherto been of no use to myself or any one else, that I can see " "And leave me?" "Ernestine, it cannot be possible that you care for me." "Eut I do, Wallace," she owned, half laughing, half embarrassed. "NOT/ take my advice; it may be worth something, even though I am nothing but a girl. Wait a little longer, trust in Providence, and re member that there is one, at least, who cares for you." "Ernestine, my little darling. But it is of no use," he faltered, dropping the soft palm he had taken. "Hush! there is a knock al the door-more duns, I suppose." It was a letter which the little er rand girl threw into the room as if she too, fully appreciated Mr. Har ney's social and financial status in the establishment. "Miss Tiny," she cried, tartly, as she did so, "your ma wants you to come right down stairs d'reckly." But Ernestine, for once in her life disrespectful of the maternal behest, stooped to pick up the letter and hand lt to Mr. Harney before she left the room. ' "Perhaps it ls good news," she said, smiling archly, and then went away. Mrs. Glenfield was all impatience for her return down stairs; she want ed to send her to the dressmaker's about a dress which was to have been done, and wasn't done. And the con science-stricken dame of sewing-silk and scissors sat down at once to put on the finishing touches, and so it was quite dark before Ernestine again reached home. "What do you suppose has hap pened?" said Mrs. Glenfield, meeting her daughter at the door. "I don't know," said Ernestine. "Becky has broken another piece out of the china set, I suppose." Mrs. Glenfield shook her head. "Mr. Hacney has gone." "Gone! Where?" "The dear knows-I don't. Paid his bill and gave Biddy a quarter for herself, over and above. And he has ! gone." Ernestine's cheeks flamed up, and ? then grew pale. Gone! after what I she had owned to him that very morn- j ing. Gone! without leaving any fare- ! well word or message for her! Well, j it served her right for so far forget- j ting her womanly reserve and maid enly dignity as she had done. And poor littlo Ernestine went moping: about the house for a day or two,1 looking the mere shadow of her for mer self. At the end of three days Mr. Har ney came back.

Ernestine uttered a little cry of astonishment. "It is true," Mr. Harney smilingly asserted, turning to the girl. "You remember that letter you gave me? It was the legal notification of the death of a distant relative, whose very existence I was almost unaware of. I was his only heir, and his de c??.se has made me, all of a sudden, a wealthy man.

The conditions under which a street lamp should prove its efficiency are very different from those which govern the indoor lamp. This was brought out clearly in a recent ad dress before the New York Section of the Illuminating Engineering Society by Dr. Clayton H. Sharp. He pointed out that while in the building it is advantageous to have much of the light ol! a lamp pass upward and be reflected by the ceiling, in the cas?'bf a stree; lamp this would be a great fault, for the vertical rays would be lost. Only those rays that are cast directly downward and horizontally up and down the street can be util ized. For this reason he has devised a reflector consisting of a pair of par abolic mirrors arranged to throw tho rays in the direction of the street, so that practically all of the light will be used to best advantage.
