'"He great dry goods store Was" crowded,
for it was bargain day and many special
sales had been advertised. '"-' ' --- --
A large, important looking woman,
richly dressed, had managed, by a Uberal
use of her elbows, to get in the front row
and attract the attention of a salesgirl,
who stood as if. bewildered at the commo
tion around her. ' ' j- '" V ".: -. :' '
Here, clerk !" she called loudly. "A
dozen of black, 6K, and be quick about It
too, as 1 don't wantto be crushed tq death
by this vulgar crowd. ,.- ; " " ,
The girl addresseor a slender, - pretty
blond, with aristocratic features, Invol
untarily drew herself" up and opened her
lips as If to reply to this rude speech, but
rcinem berlng where s.'iO was closed her Hps
and turned to select the gloves. , " Ji
"Will you try on a pairf" - ; - :
- "Of course I will, and do be careful you
do not pinch my hand You glove fitters
jaxe so clumsy. " And drawing off her glove
the customer, displayed a hand bedecked
with glittering rings. ;' : '
"I must ask you to remove your i rings
or I cannot properly fit you. " And the pret
ty clerk waited patiently until the rings
were ostentatiously removed and laid in a
shining heap on the, counter. ' - ' . j
: After, severs unnecessary orders j the
gloves were fitted and done up and the
buyer began to put on: her rings. . As she
did so she . gave ajulck glance and cried
but loudly: ' i
i "You have stolen one of my rings i""' i
i 'The proud, disdainful look, which had
'appeared ; on the young girl's face ' at the
accusation gave way to one of anxiety as
tho woman loudly reiterated her charge. .
"Indeed, madam, I ldid not touch your
rings. You1 must have dropped itlj she
cried. Running around In front of the
counter, "She began" to- Gearch on the floor
lor tne missing DauDie, ana many bmuiu
lng by helped in the search but all in vain.
: "You ean't fool me," declared the own
er in positive tones. "You took that ring,
and you' ve got to return it or pay for it.
You just como along to the office with me
and be searched." ' And, seizing the; girl
by. the hand, she almost dragged her to
the office. ; . ! ; j . ' : ; . ' )
a Two pentiomen, one the proprietor, Were
in tho office when the two women entered.
"This girl has stolon a diamond ring
from nie, ,Mr. Gifford," announced the
customer, relating th& circumstance, '.'and
i want her seirchcd. 11 !
"Impossibloj . Mrs. I Hardlosi I assure
vouthat Miss began Mr. Gifford,
but stopped at a sign from his companion.
"'May I ask, madam," said tho gentle
man in a cold, clear voioe, "if yon are sure
you removed (he ring and placed it on the
counter? : Could it not perhaps have re
mained in the finger of your glover "
The ' young clerk looked at the gentle
man when he spoke for the first time since
entering the office and turned very pale,
then red again, so that to a suspicious
mind she was the picture of guilt. -'
''That is impossible. Such' a thing
never occurred,'' Mrs. Hardlos exclaimed
angrily; but, taking up the glove she had
worn, she gave an Involuntary cry or sur
prise. 4 The ring had indeed stuck in the
glove finger and now sparkled maliciously
as its owner pulled it out.
"With profound apologies Mrs. Hardlos
1 turned to the proprietor. He quietly mo
tioned to tho clerk to withdraw, but the
gentleman who was with him laid a re
straining hand on her arm.
"Do not go," he said, "until you have
given this this-person an opportunity to
apologize to you. as, you are tne only in
jured party," he said decidedly. '1 i
"How daro you, Sir? Who are you that
you presume to dictate to mer ' Mrs. Hard
los haughtily exclaimed, - v . ;
The stranger handed her his card, and a
marked change of expression was notice
able on Mrs. Hardlos' worldly features.
The name on jne cam was mat or a man
well known as a person of groat wealth
and influence,' ono whoso acquaintance was
eagerly sought by the most select. Besides
this he was a bachelor and . considered a
great "catch." I" . S
"You are quite" right, Mr. Jameson, but
I will atone for my mistake.' Here, my
good girl, take this," drawing out a $5
note ostentatiously, ''and call Us even."
If this was considered an apology In the
eyes of Mrs. Hardlos, it did not pass for
such In the eyes of her victim. With a
gesture -as haughty as any of her former
accuser the girl refused the offered monoy,
.and turning to the' proprietor asked if she
might be excused. I ; . j
With his permission she withdrew and
was followed by Mr; Jameson, who hastily
bade adieu to Ms friend i and overtook her
at the door. He spoke to her in low tones
for a moment, then raised his hat and left
her. The new clerk remained in her place
until her week was up, then resigned her
position. I - !...-. ?
About two months after the unfortunate
affair of tho ring Mrs. Hardlos received an
Invitation to a reception given in honor of
Mr. Jameson and bis brido.
' Greatly" pleased, she determined; to at
tend and' by every art jn her' power cause
Mr. Jameson to forget her Unkindness to
the poor glove clerk and make friends with
his wife, who would be a social power.
As she was ledj up to the. bride and
groom and looked at the former, a beauti
ful blond, dressed WithTolegant simplicity
and radiant with happiness, it seemed to
her that she had seon her before, but could
not recall whero. . j
bhe' was enlightened a ! few moments
later when she mentioned the fact to her.
, "Yes," replied the bride, "you are quite
right, Mrs. Hardlos. We have met before.
It was at Mr. Gilford's glove counter the
day you accused me of stealing your ring.
Perhaps if you had known that I was only
tnere ior a wees in payment of a foolish
wager I had made With some friends you
migm, nave acted auicrently. But I hope
you will . remember, Mrs. Hardlos, that It
Is always safer and more humane to be
sure of a theft before you accuse any one
of
oeing tne imer. And remember, too,
that a salesgirl, poor as she may be, has
xeenngs as wen as you Have yourself."
Then Bhe politely turned her back noon
the crestfallen Mrs.-Hardlos, who quickly
left the room, her hopes of forming an in
timacy witn tne inlluential Mrs. Jameson
having met with i their deathblow. .Ex

Ralph detested labor; and was fond of ease.
At present, he was meroly a clerk in a
fancy store on a salary which was certain

"Won't I go it?- said. he. to himself as
he munched his rolls and swallowed bis
coffoo. "I was'meant for a jolly life, and;
I'll live it."- - : :
And turning his hat . sideways on his
bead he hurried to ' 'the 6tore," wbere his
entrance was greeted by an angry glab.ee
.from the proprietor who advanced, watch
in hand, and inquired curtly:
"Well, Mr. Fitissihimons, are you aware
that you are-15 minutes late?"
i "Perfectly, sir, V Said Fitzsimmons pert
ly. . "Fifteen minutes and a half . Mulct

and ritaalmnions, btherwise "No. 4," did
"forward" to his lace, but slowly and
with much dignity, when a lady entered
the store, and advancing straight to'his
counter requested to "look at floss silks
for embroidery." -,
She was a tall young lady, of very inde
pendent manners, dressed plainly. No one
of any importance, of course, Fltzsimmons
decided, would shop in such attire. ;
V "What color?" said he without moving
and with his handa in his pockets.
" llet me soo your stock," said the lady.
Jf "Can't you tclll me what you want?"
fsald Fitzsimmons.
v"I have told yon that I Wish to look at
your floss silks," said the lady.
"Oh," said Fitszlmmons. "Well, there
'they are- If they don't do, I can't help, iti
I can't gratify the Whims of females in re
gard to shades, and I've given up the at
tempt. Six and six are 12, and"

the lady, rising.; - .'
"I beg your pardon, ma'am," cried the
proprietor, advancing, "Has anything"
"Mr. Fitzsimmons called her a female,"

had "great ears." j ,

gorgeous drawing room in Fifth avenue
In the wake of his friend Howard. Three
people arose to greet them an old gentle
man, an old and a young lady.
"Mr. Brown, my friend Fitzsimmons.

Fitzsimmons smiled and bowed. The
old gentleman began to talk,the old lady

"Very," said EJeanor. "And you know

j A Stamp Tip From Canada.
The gradually spreading renown of Koo
tenay brings us many letters of inquiry as
to its capabilities from all sorts and con
ditions of people in the United States.
With praiseworthy honesty these good
folk nearly always inclose a 2 cent United
States stamp to pfty the cost of reply. We
have often heard Britishers called down
for living up to the belief that they were
the people and hat their language and
their sovereigns were good all' the world
over. A large experience teaches us that
the Britisher is very nearly right, but his
pride is nothing tff the humble confidence
, which so firmly believes in the universal
omnipotence of the United States postage
stamp. One almost hesitates' to break-the
spell of such simplicity by telling Our
cousins to save their cents j because these
stamps are of no earthly use outside of
their own country. Nelson MineTi
