"I have, let us say. 2 guineas a week." he returned hurriedly. "Put won't you try mo first?" said Mary, rather taken aback by this unceremonious way of arranging the matter. "No, no.

"But it mightn't ho true," she faltered. "I would really rather"? "Do you want a character with me'.'' he broke in. "But everybody knows you," she cried ingenuously. "Everybody has read your books." "I wish they did. I should make a decent income then. X'o, no, Mrs. Conway. 1 know what 1 am and what I'm not. I know my own limitations and exactly what T am capable of.

Alan Stacey continued: "You give yourself away continually because you cannot conceal your real feelings. In a souse you are had for yourself because you cannot dissemble. You couldn't tell a downright lie if you tried, and you are so honest that you wouldn't try." "I do hate lies," said Mary in a tone as if such a fact were rather to her ueiriiiiuiJi niiiii unji'iwist'. "Lot mo look at your hand. Yea; it is capable?precise, upright and highly nervous. Wo shall bo able to work together very well, I am certain. At all events, let us try tomorrow morning." "Mr. Stacey," said Mary, rising as bho spoke. "1 will do my very best." "We shall get on splendidly," he replied, holding out his hand. "X am doing a particularly difficult piece of work just now, a most difficult subject, in which the handling is everything, tho whole difference between success and failure. 1 was writing with my fist? yes, doubled up so?in despair, when my servant told me you were here. Look at this"?spreading out his hand and showing an angry swollen red ridgo of muscle which rose between the first and second fingers and extended beyond the wrist. "That means tho in tensest and most exquisite agony. It seems to disappear above the wrist and to rise attain in the nndorsido of the arm, from where it runs in a rope of pain to the very armpit." "It must be horrible," said Mary "Arc you working now?" "I was when you came.'

"Don't call ino 'sir,'" he said, half amused and half irritable.

A rough terrier dog lay before tho open window and a big Angora cat, brindled like a bulldog, was in possession of a fur rug before tho empty fireplace. It was a revelation to Mary Conway?sho had never eeen such a room in all her life before Sho established herself fit a table and they began She was amazed at tho ease and rapidity with which Alan Stacey poured out his story, taking it up at tho last written word and spinning it out in the most vivid and interesting way, almost, indeed, acting it all. So for nearly two hours they worked without a liitch, until tho servant canio to say that luncheon was served. Alan Stacey drew a long breath and rose to bis feet j "Come to lunch,he said. "I rjed to have ideas a hunt not interrupting the flow of genius?but I take my meals at regnlnv times uow ? it pays better all round Do you think you've got all | that ?" "1 think so." said Mary. "If yon ! will allow inc. 1 will transcribe it after j lunch so mat you can sector yourself.' | CHAPTER IX TliK 1NTKKI UKTKI:. To Mary's surprise tho table was only laid for two persons It was essentially a man's table; it was small and was spread with a nice clean cloth and serviettes: its dominant note was a cruet stand. "Take that seat." said Alan Stucey. with a gesture to a chair. "It will be a simple lnucli. I warn you. If 1 eat a i ig meal now. 1 am no good for the rest of the day Same people like a regular dinner at midday. I believe it means apoplexy if you only cat enough and sleep soon enough afterward. What have you today, John?" "All omelet, sir " K!iiil .Tnlin "'iii,il cold beef and salad. " "A h'.nchcon for n king, if tho omelet and salad aro properly made. Don't yon think so. Mrs. Conway V" said Alan Stacey. "I do," said Mary, wondering j whether sho ought to be honest and say that a dish of scrambled eggs was the nearest approach to an omelet that sho had ever tasted in her life. "I have a little Frenchwoman who makes both to perfection." he went on "Some people like to make a salad at table. I don't. I know several delightful houses where it is the task of the young ladies to dress the salad, and they do it with n diffidence which results in loathliness. Tell Maltide that thin omelet is excellent. John." "Very good. sir." Mary ate her portion and allowed herself to to persuaded into taking a littie more, but she refused wine and persisted in taking only water. "I must keep my head clear," sho said firmly "1 wnut to do your work and myself justice this afternoon. " Alan Stacey tried hard to overrule her, because, as he said, they ought to have a mild celebration of their first day's work and their first meal together. It is true that ho liked and respected her the better that she held firmly to her point "When the book is finished, Mr Stacey," she said, "if you then think luy work worth celebrating, I will do And then began a long spell oJ hard icork. it with pleasure. As yet you don't know whether I have not made the most fearful hash of your work or whether I may not turn out to be ten times more aggravating than either Miss Blank or the good gentleman who did net mind waiting."

Alan Stacey, who was as keenly interested in tho result of tho experiment as she was, came in from tho garden and x*eud over the fair typewritten pages. lie did not speak till he had read to the end. "Mrs. Conway," he said then, "you are a perfect treasure. Can you keep it up?" "How ?' "Yon have taken me down literally, word for word, point for point. You have caught the exact spirit of mv idea. Mrs. Conway, if you can keep it up we shall get on splendidly." She had Hushed up scarlet in her excitement and suspense, and Alan Stacey, looking at her. said to himself that turely his star had been in the ascendant when such a dainty creature had suddenly fallen from tho skies in lieu of the bulldog features and staring goggle eyes of the patient individual who had but just left him. | "lam so glad," she said with her pretty, shy air; "so proud to be able to help yon. I'll try hard never to be anyi thing but your interpreter." , 1 He laughed aloud and held ont his hand. "That's a good name for you, Mrs. Conwnv.

I don't menu all that intricate bewilderment of small, featureless, mean little streets which lie between Fnlham palace and the cemetery, but a corner on the other side of the railway line, a corner which then was still rejoicing in tall old trees nnd spacious wide fronted houses, such as kept an air of dignity about them which came as a surprise to the stranger wandering through the.neigbJiprjjoodv, |; pp ?< uojrmwaftJ round and squari : n i r,iss. Some Figures that wifl be of Interest to Farmers. Great interest is taken in the discussion as to the relative merits i f tlie round and square co'tcit Lu'r, :?tj I tl:e following letter fioin an operator on the fjuare hale fur twenty-five years, gning hisexjeri once-with what is called the 'if! b> 64 standard bale of cotton," gives some "facts and figures" which arc more or less in point: "I have been operating this size press box for twenty-five years, and t has always ?iivon perfect satisfies tion. I heartily disapprove the method of the round hale trust. A J.'JOU bale ginner operating one of the round bale presses would in ten years Collect front his farmer patrons and pay the tound bile people $'J0,00<) rental on otic of their presses, the iicuul cost 11' which I estimate to be not more than $500. They agree, however, to give this amount back to the ginner's patrons in the price ol the cotton, so packed, as compared with the same grade of cotton put up in the old style. Will they fulfill this promise, and how hmg will they do so? Tlicy claim tin t cotton put up in round bales, on account ot the density, less insurance, etc., is worth 45 cents per hundred pounds more than it is put up in the old style bale l'lieir discriminations, as 1 under srand the matter, arc not against the 1*4 by 54 standard bale, but against the old style, irregular size bales. * iiCt us slop ana u^uie vnat therereally is in the so.callcd 45 cents per hundred pounds increase in the price of cotton, and not accept without <|uestioning the seemingly plausible calculations of the round bale advocates. ' 'fake a -4 by 54 standard bale for example: Lint cotton, 478 pounds; bagging and tics, 22 pound;-; total 500 pounds at 0 cents, $30. To this add at least 50 cents per bale lower ocean rates obtainable on acocunt of increased density in compression, 50 cents; total, $30.50. Less ginning, $1; less cost bagging and tics, GO cents; total, $1.G0. For this bale the farmer receives $28.90. "For comparison take the same amount of cotton packed in round bales: Lint co'.ton, 478 pounds; bagging and tics, 5 pounds; total, 483 pounds at 0.45, $31. If. Less royalty, $1; less cost of ginuing, $1; less cost of bagging and ties, 40 cents; total, $2.40. For these bales the farmer receives $28.75. "From these figures )ou will see that the round bales do not net the farmer as much as be would receive for the same amount of eotton packed in the sejuarc bale, notwithstanding the fact that the 45 cents per i __.i_.-j i- * j..i_ i a.. fiuuurtu pouuua is nuij uuuntu lur round bales in this calculation."?
