JicksontiUc. rlt. uars 'OLD EBBBBBBBBtSSBl / ooooooooooooooooo MNSFERJF UNO By WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY. "Square as a die and honest as a Quaker." was the reputation that Jarvis Mercer had won in Lindgrove after sixty days' business establishment in the real estate and mortgage line. "And good as gold." was the ardent and sincero addendum of his office secretary, Nellie Ward, but she said it to herself, as she glanced timidly at her employer, and blushed self consciously. 'ler true womanly heart was full of gratitude towards the shy, reticent man who had started her in business life. She needed work sadly when she applied for a position a grado better than clerking in the village dry goods store. Nellie had an aged aunt to support, ar.d when Mr. Mercer offered her nearly double her former salary she felt as though rare opulence had become her portion. Mr. Mercer had shown her unusual indulgence. He had been patient in teaching her how to operate the typewriter He had set her easy and pleasant tasks. From the first he bad placed entire confidence in her. and th's pleased her greatly. In fact, at the end of the first month she attended to bank and other business when he was absent. Her employer arose and came over to where she was busy at her desk. She felt her pulses quicken and was angry at herself for the emotion. "I am going away for two weeks. Miss Ward," he said in his quiet, gentle way. Her tell-tale heart informed her that rhe would miss him. She dropped her glance from those kindly eyes of his. "You will find all necessary memoranda here." he continued, placing a package before Nellie. She noticed that the bank book was included, containing some checks of a large amount. Adding to this the large cash balances usually carried, and the fact that she had authority to || ||j e 1/ "It's a Raw Deal, Sharp," Spoke One of the Men. sign chocks during the absence of her employer, a sudden wave of emotion overcame Nellie. 'Oh, sir." she spoke impetuously, "how creatlv vou trust mo?" "And how greatly you appreciate it, .Miss Ward," he returned with a quick smile. "You have developed into a splendid little business woman. 1 don't know how 1 could get along? that is. you have been so useful and willing." ile turned away shyly, like a great schoolboy making a blunder. The inutual embarassment, his tacit recognition of her harmonious position only seemed to increase her growing regard. "lly the way," he went on, after a moment or two of consultation of seine papers, "here is something particular. It is a power of attorney au thorizing you to act for me in the matter of a real estate transfer. I have had a very good offer for the upland forty acres." Neiiie knew the tract well. It was on< of two pieces of property left to him by his uncle's estate when he came to Lindgrove. There was the lowland forty acres near by. a worthless stretch of swamp property. "These people." and Mr. Mercer extended a card, "will be in. they say. in s day or two and pay two thousand dollars cash for a deed. You will execute it. please, and take the money." "Marvin & Sharp. Brokers." was the legend the bit of pasteboard bore. "And now good-by. Miss Ward," continued Mr. Mercer, clasping her hand and holding it "I leave everything in your charge, knowing you will attend to the business better than I possibly could It will be your turn for a two weeks' vacation when 1 return." "Why, Mr. Mercer, I have scarcely been here two months." "And need a little recreation, like all of us." brightly reminded Jarvls. Then his expressive face dropped solemnly. He stared at his little heeler in surprise. A tear drop had fallen upon his hand. His clasp tightened, his breath came quickly. Then In turned away and abiuptly left the room. "I'love him." N'ellio told herself. "It is folly, for he cculd never think of a simple, untutored girl like mo, but-*-; love him!" Who would not! she challenged, as i i J # she thought of tho kindly deeds he had done secretly Bince coming to Lindgrove. He was not a rich roan, far from it. but hie simple charities were many, and one concrete deed ot goodness, where ho had Baved a poor widow from foreclosure, had complete , ly won Nellie's heart. it was two mornings later when Nellie entered tho front office of the suite unobserved. The boy who upeueu up wits ousy in anomer room and had not noticed her, nor had two men seated in the outer apartment. She was about to apprize them of her presence when a remark attracted her attention sharply. "It's a raw deal. Sharp!" spoko ono of the men. "That's the kind that pays, isn't it. Marvin?" and Nellie instantly knew that the speakers were the expected clients of her employer. "Yes, but if it's found out?about that letter, you know." "It won't be. If it is, we've made our turn, haven't we? See here, look at the rationale of the thing: this wayback sleepy Mercer has a tract with uncovered riches under it. \Yo discover it. So does the Vulcan Steel company. They write him offering him ten thousand dollars for the land. 1 intercept that letter and it never reaches its destination. We canic personally and get an option on the property. The Tidewater Iron works pays us richly for it. That's our business? making a commission. See here." and there was a rustling of paper. "There's a sample of some of the prime stufT under that forty acres." In a flash Nellie comprehended the plot in motion. What should she do? mercer was nve nuiiuroa iniics away. She had only surmise to go on. The office boy coming in announced her to the visitors. They stated their business. Nellie had her orders. Oh. for time, for advice! Then, self-reliant little business woman that she was. she prepared the deed the men asked for. executed it and received tko two-thousand. Messrs. Marvin & Sharp marched off jubilantly to record the deed. Nellie nearly collapsed when she tried to realize the bold, defiant thing she had done. The men had left what looked like a lump of clay behind them. It was the specimen they had talked about. From one of the professors up at the college Nellie learned that it contained a rare substance known as cresolite. employed in blasting furnaces to fuse metal. Then Nellie waited, expecting an explosion every day. Having secured their deed the schemers were taking their leisure. One day Mr. Mercer aje i peared. "l'.y the way. Miss Ward." he spoke, after a warm, friendly greeting. "I no 1 tice in the weekly paper a transfer of . the swamp tract." j "Yes, sir." replied Nellie, her breath I coming quick, "1 sold it to those clients. Marvin & Sharp." "ltut they wero to have the upland acres." "They think they have got them," explained Nellie. "They are swindlers. for they intercepted a letter of fering you a large amount. Oh. Mr. Mercer! I have tried to protevt you. I hope I have not done wrong." and. i 11 U l l 111 ^ till 19 It'iirs, .M'llH' IOIU till. "You are going to blame mo!" she sobbed, as she looked up to find his eyes fixed upon her. "I am lost in admiration!" cried Jarvis Mercer. "I need a guardiin. as you have proved. Miss Ward?Nellie, could it bo possible that you would accept such a responsibility?permanently?" "1 love you so?I love you so!" was all Nellie could whisper, sheltered in those stronp, protecting arms. <C?>pyrtirbt. by W. O. Chapman.j I HAS HOME THAT IS UNIQUE j Remarkable Domicile Provided by the Government for Uce of One of Its Officials. Many people are quite happy in the homes in which they live; many more of the millions of New Yorkers wish that tin ir lives had been cast in different places; but it is safe to say that even the most satisfied individual would envy the home of one resident of New York, a resident who lives on no street, alley, or avenue; lias no neighbors; neither owns his home nor pays rent. Out on tlie extroino end of one of the longest piers in the Hudson rivr ! there is perched a tiny building, wrought of corrugated iron, and resembling more nearly a bomb-proof shelter than a peaceable dwelling. This strange little apartment, nevertheless, is fitted with all the comforts and luxuries that combine to make a bachelor's existence suft'erable. Rich paper sheaths the walls, heavy carpets lie underfoot, a piano stands in the corner, capacious leather chairs offer the comfort of quirt ca.se, while an excellent manservant obeys and anticipates the slightest whim.
