The stenographer bowed to the coachman n his box. Joyce took off his hat and then leaped down and stood ready to speak to the fair and dignified young woman. She asked after the man's family, bowed again, smilingly, and walked quickly away, down the long, lighted street.

He was waiting for his employer Henry May bee, the railway magnate At last Maybeo came out into the ntien air reioicinsr in his liberty. As he opened his carriage door, for him self. Mavbee was arrested by the sound of honest Joyce's voice. "I've just seen Miss Salome, sir "Where." asked Maybee, looking up and down the street. "She came out of that big door, sir. an hour ago. and she stopped and asked after the children, and then went her way without saying any thing about herself." "Well which way?" Maybee's voice was anxious. "Just down street that way," said the man. "Very good, thank you. Joyce." "She do be workin in this big place," said Joyce. Mr. Maybee stepped into the car riage, closed the door; and Joyce gathered up the reins for the home ward drive. Before the fire sat Lewis, the rich man's son. lie looked up when his rather came in. His salutation was but an indifferent murmur. The elder man affected a brisk cheerfulness.

"You must have a change," began :he elder Maybee "Quiet and rest would be a change," sighed Lewis. "I've been traveling :hese six months and I'm tired of lew things. Let me stay here.

"What's the matter with him? Why, rou're his physician and ought to inow!" retorted Mr. Maybee. "What's the real matter with him? persisted the doctor. "In lore," said the father, laconic ally.

ROYALTY ON DRESS PARADE. Bizarre Costume King Menelik Wears on Christmas Day.

The blow had been sudden, this serious turn In what he had regarded as a piece of sillv nonsense. He sank back in his great leather chair, when he had said good-night to the doctor. Deep thought took hold of him. He had no particular griev ance against Salome Mclntyre. Her father had left her to tne care of his old friend, and after she came from college she had settled in the Maybee home, which was ruled, as to its do mestic affairs, by Aunt Sophie an an cient widowed poor relation of great pride and self-importance. All had gone well until Lewis came home from his trip around the world. He fell an easy victim to Salome's big blue eyes and prstty ways. The father saw at once what had hap pened. His plans for his son were sadly interfered with. He tried to pack Salome away on a visit to her western friends, but the girl wouldn't go. Then he had what he called a "business talk" with her. He ex plained how little money she had and told what pains he had been obliged to take to save for her even that, and talked about her earning her own way, and the upshot of the business talk was, that Salome left the house, basr and baggage. She wrote for an ac counting as to her small nronertv through an attorney. Mr. Maybee promptly turned the matter over to his attorney and the lawyers settled the whole affair within a month. Sa lome prepared herself, and went to work as a stenographer, but she an nounced her plans to no one. Lewis, easily led to believe that Saome had fled before his lover-like attitude, was in despair. He was trotted here, and galloped there. South, East, West and North, by sea, by land, in foreign countries and at home, and he grew daily into settled invalidism. A Friend in Need. William II.

"Yes, sir," said Joyce, his small black eyes twinkling. As Salome worked as a stenogra pher, in the Wampum Building and a very poor stenographer, if the truth were to be told of course Joyce saw her come out of the door, as she did on tnis, as on every other evening, at half past five.
