That night he wrote to Alice: 1 "1 have hired out to a most unmitigated old scoundrel and yet one of the 1 sharpest lawyers I ever met.

His room was small b and cheerless and In comparison with his home quarters a mere den. V Hit it i< was a question of saving, nnd the lux- n ury of space even ho could not afford, o There is no *""? ? lonesome place in t the wide world than a great city to n one born nnd bred amid the freedom r of the wide fields and extended woodln ds, as Albert had been, and now that 11 b was shut in V brick walls all day t and imprisoned wh one small room at night, with a solitnry window opening r -- ? ? r>*,vi tn nsh barrels and ' garbage, it made him homesick. lie was n dreamer by naturo and loved tlie music of running brooks, the * rustling of winds in the forest and the x?ong of birds. The grand old moun- | tains that surrounded Sandgate had |>een the delight of his boyhood, and to c 0sh in the clear streams that tumbled down through narrow gorges and ^ wound amid wide meadows or in the ( Illy dotted mllipond his pastlmo. He had the artist's nature in him also and loved dearly to sketch a pretty bit of natural scenery, a cascade in the brook or a shady grotto in the woods. He loved books, flowers, music, green meadows, shady woods and fields white with daisies. He had been reared among kind hearted, honest, God fearing people who seldom locked their doors at night and who believed in and lived by the Golden Rule. The selfish and distrustful life of a great city, with its arrogance and wealth and vanity of display, was not akin to him, and to put himself at the beck and call of n mercenary and utterly unscrupulous old villain, as he believed Frye to be, was gull and bitterness. For two weeks ho worked patiently, hoping each day *hnt the one and oniy menu iue city held for hlin would call, passing his evenings, as he wrote Alice, "in reading, smoking and hating myself a little and Frye u good deal." He had hesitated to write Frank In the first place, disliking to ask favors, but It could not be helped, and now he bcgau to feel that his friend meant to Ignore him. This humiliating conclusion wns growing to a certainty and Albert feeling more homesick than ever when ono afternoon while he was, as Usual, hard at work in Frye's office Frank came In. ' "Pray excuse me, 0I4 man/' remarked that youth briskly after the first greetings, "for not calling sooner, but J was off on my yacht about the time you came, and then I ran down to New York to take In the cup races. You see, I'm so busy I do not get any time to myself. I want you to como over to the club and lunch with me today, and we can talk matter* over," "You will kindly excuse me," replied Albert.

You will meet some good fellows there, aud we always make up a game of draw? small limit, you know. Say, old man," he added Interestedly, "how do you like Fryer As that worthy happened to be out , Just then the two friends had a good chance to exchange opinions. Albert's ( Is already known, but, for reasons, he did not care to express It to Frank at , this time. f "Fryc is a shrewd lawyer, I pre- i mime," ho answered, "and so far I i have no fault to find. lie takes good | care to see I have work enough, but ] that is what I am hired for, and I have 1 been rather lonesome and glad of it." s Then to change the subject he added: y "I want to thank you once more, 1 Frank, for getting me the place, c Things were in a bad way at home, j md I needed it." "You may thank dad, not me," re died Frank. "I was just going off 011 j. 1 trip when your letter came, and I urned the matter over to him. Frye's ill orney, you see." . ? , r ?\ re you personally w(*JI acquainted ylth Mr. Frye?" asked Albert, having 1 in object in mind. v ^ "fcjjo, not at all, except by sight," H&thc answer.

V( hey say he is rich nnd a skinflint. jn [e always reminds me of a hungry nl uzzard." Albert thought of Burns' apt cyn- ni rlsm Just then nnd wished that Fryo p light for one moment see himself as w thers saw him. Ho felt temptod to 7 ell Frank Just what Frye had said v nd what Ills opinion of him was, but clsely kept It to hlmselr. "Well, I must be going," said Frank it last. "I've got a date for the mat. his aft., so ta-ta. I'll call round some J 41 ve. at your room and take you up to w he club." ci When his friend had departed, Albert s esumed his rather monotonous copying he gist of a lot of decisions bearing " ipon a case that Frye had pending ust then, and when he went out to n uneli it was, as usual, alone and to a v :heap refctaurant. P "It's nice to have a rich father, a \ racht, plenty of money and nothing to t lo hut spend It," he said to himself rue- I fully that night as he sat In his cheerless room smoking and dwelling upon the picture of a gay life as disclosed by 1 ids friend. "Iiut we are not all born to 1 fortune, and perhaps, after all, I might I ? ...I.I..I. In unv illr. loil<lf UU ? Ul au %JlLf n iMVii, IU mij is the best way to look at it. CHAPTER V. rjTTlHEN, ft few days after Frank I VV I hati called upon Page, the latB|SS tor chanced to mention it to Frye, lie made a note of it. "I am Rind," lie said cordially, "that your friend has hunted you up. I knew he was away on his yacht when you came and was going to suggest that you call on him as soon as I knew ho was at home. As I told you, cultivate hlin all you can. lie will servo as a door to get you into good society. When did he call?" "T? ?/low tt'liiln vnn were aw ua vuiu vii?j ?T M??v. w? .. out," answered Page, "and he invited me to lunch with ldni at his club." "Which, of course, you did?" said Frye. "No, sir. I knew 1 shouldn't havo time for It during my one hour, nnd, then, you had given me a lot of work to do that day." A shade of annoyance came over Frye's face. "Well, that's all right, of course," he said, "but when he calls again take all the time you need it' he asks you out^ and," with a scrutinizing look at Pago, "as I said, cultivate hint. It's business. Ills father is my most valued client, and the more intimate you become with his son the sooner you Will havo an acquaintance that will be of value to you." Page could not quite fathom all this, but the more he thought of what Fryo had said the more certain he became that kindly regard for his own welfare did not enter Into that shrewd schemV'l sateqlattou* 89 TO uwe ???mmm* m u more disgusted also eae"h 'day with his employer's eyuicul indifference to all sense of honor and honesty, coming to the conclusion that he was no better than a thief at heart. Beneath Albert's disposition to adapt himself to those he mingled with lay a vein of sterling good sense, fine honor and the energy of self saeriilce, if necessary, and Frye's attributes were so obnoxious to him as to be simply repulsive. At college he had ; never indulged in much "larking," and Just why the bond of friendship be tween himself and the good natured, I self indulgent, happy go lucky class- i mate, Frank Xnsou, had been cement- ' ed is hard to explain, except upon the theory of an attraction of opposites. When, a few days later, that young | man appeared at the oitice Just before closing time and suggested they "go I out for a night's racket." as he phrased it, Albert was not inclined to accept. "What are you up to?" he said as they walked away from tho ottlee, "and what do you mean by a racket? If it's likely to be expensive, count me out; I can't afford it." "Well," answered Frank lightly, "you are working too hard and need shaking up, so I thought I'd drop round and do It. We will dine nt the club, then go to the opera house, where there is a burlesque on and no end of pretty chorus girls. 1 know two or three of tliom nti.i __ , ...... .1.1.1 1UU S1IUW wo will take them out to supper." "It's all right except the end-up," answered Albert, "and on that I think you had best skip me. As I said, it's a diversion I can't afford. I've no money to spare to buy wine for ballet girls." "Oh, that's all right," responded Frank cheerfully. "I've asked you out, and it's my treat. I'll pay the shot this time." . . ? "I shall pay my s?. are if I go," asserted Albert firmly, "but I would rather omit the after part. We will have the evening together, and then you can go J and entertain your chorus girls, and I'll I go to mv '-00111." It was a laudable resolution, but it , came hard, for beneath all Albert'sr good resolves was lurking desire for a ,l( little excitement to break the di^l mo- l; notony of ids life. He had been to the 1 theater only twice since he came to V Boston, desiring to save in every way le could, and only the week before had lent Alice one-tliird of bis first month's talary. At the club Frank introduced dm to several of his friends, and of 1 ?i'.rso iney wore asked to join them in ' i social glass, which did not tend to trongthen Albert's resolution. At the heater tlie exhilarating music and the s litter of a stage full of pretty girls c ad their effect, and by the time the ? how was over he found it impossible to ? esist his friend's urging that they go y irnnnVi*^11 lUlvl,x/r"w'oor aU(1 mcet the t iris ho i?

Favorite Camp Story Tlironffh Which Oencrnln Are Crltlclaed. Unlike other Russian soldiers, the ossaeks are very intelligent In mllllry matters and do not hesitate to ritleise their generals freely uuiong tieiuselves. They have bitter tongues nd a genius for satire. There Is a fa orite story which has been told la 'ossnck camps for generations. It is landed down from father to son, tho lames being changed to lit the miliary commanders of the day. Freely rnnslntcd, It runs gomething like this: The war god of Russia was asleep n heaven one day when he was awakened by the confused clamor of two aosts In battle on the earth beneath. He shouted to the Angel Gabriel: "Ix>ok out and see what my Cosjacks are doing." "They are fighting the Turks, and Princo Fotemkin is leading them." "Oh, that's all rlghtj^said the war god. "He's a good man." So tho deity went asleep again, only to bo awakened by another turmoil. "What's that?" ho asked sleepily. "They aro fighting the Turks ngalr under Suwnrow." "He's a fine fellow. They'll do al right." And so the story goes on intermlnn bly around the campflre, each mni adding the name of his favorite com mnnder until at Inst one of then makes the Angel Onbrlel mention th name of some general who happens t be regarded by the Cossacks as a dul fer. Then the next man makes th war god reply in accents of grea alarm: "Oh, my beloved Cossacks! The; must be perishing under that man! 1 Is time I interfered.

They have too ninny and too expensive amusements. Tliey do not think It worth while to save nickels and dimes. They have risked a competence In trying to get rich quickly. They allow friends to impose upon their good nature and generosity. They try to do what others expect of them, not what they can afford. They prefer to incur debt rather than to do work which they consider beneath them. They think it will be lime enough to begin to save for u rainy day when the rainy day comes.
