Things wcro at sixes nnd sevens at tho cement works, a mile and a half from the village of Clydesdale. The works had not been making money for several months, and tho stockholders were disgruntled. At a called meeting to discover what was wrong one of the biggest stockholdnrs had said: "Tho thing Is plain enough to me. None of tho mqn do three-quarters of a day's work. They nro paid too much. Thcro Is n spirit of extravagance pre vailing. There Is wusto everywhere. Tho manager seems to coddle every body. I think wo have got tho wrong man." "Hut can wo find tho light man, Mr. Harnca?" was asked. "Not a doubt of it. 1 have a nephew who has JiiBt finished at college who can take hold of this thing and make It pay. Ho htiH a head for business. There will be no loafing and no cod dling under his management. You will seo everybody toeing tho mark." "Ho is a young man,, I take It?" said the one who had spoken before. "Twenty-three years old, but got tho brains of a man of forty." "Ho might bo willing to servo as as sistant for a year, to get u fair grasp of the business." "No, sir. Ho can tako tho position tomorrow and go right ahead. I havo every confidence In him, and he has all confidence In himself." What Mr. Barnes said had to go. Young Denton Carlisle was tho son of his widowed mother and 'the nephew of his pompous undo. He had scraped through college. Ho knew the college yell, but very little beyond It. He had been In a campus "rush" or two, and had twlco been arrested for creating a disturbance In a theater. What tho young man rather thought would fit him was the managership of a national bank, but after being turned down at half a dozen of them ho Was resting his business head when his Uncle Barnes arrived. "Denton, I am going to make you manager of ' the Crescont Cement workB." "Bully for you." "You know about cement, don't you?" "I read that they used millions of barrels of It on tho Panama canal." "Wo havo 140 men at work. Do you feel yourself competent to manage them?" "Do I? Do I? Well. I rather guess yes!" "Most certainly ho can manage thorn," added tho fond mother. "Outside tho otllco forco they are what is called Dagoes, nnd aro said tt bo rather hard to manage," observed 'tho uncle. "That don't worry mo a cent's worth. They'll Bet on to my Btylo In about twenty-four hours." ' "Wo aro not making a dollar." "I shall make a cut of the pay roll tho very first thing." "I hopo that won't bring on a strike." " "If It doeB then let 'er come. I can fill every man's placo In two days. I am going to tako hold with a strong1 hand, undo." For two years Miss Nottlo Clarkson, daughter of a wjdow Irving within half a mile of Iho works, had filled the placo of bookkeeper and cashier at a salary of $10 per week. Aside from a boy to act as messenger, sho consti tuted tho "office force." She was a fair-looking girl and her work bad been well done. Young Mr. Carlisle walked Into the offlco oh a Monday morning, and with out giving his namo, proceeded to say: ' "I presume you have heard that playing at work Is over with around thlB shop?" "I have heard that there was to be a new manager," sho replied. "And one that Is going to drive busi ness. You have been getting $10 a week, I believe?" "Yes, sir." "O shall cut It to eight. That Is all your services aro worth. What 1b the Toy getting?" "Five a week." "Ho can tako threo dollars or go!" Miss Nettlo was tho sole support of tho family, and sho decided to tako tho cut and stay on, though tho boy walked out. Nothing was said about cutting tho wagos of the men. It waB expected there would be a cut, and at a secret meeting every man pledged htmsoU to strlko if tho pay roll was meddled with. There were somo bad men among the laborers and at least half a dozen who Intended to mako something out of the row. When the Saturday pay day cam Miss Nettle, asked the now manager who was to go to tho village bank after tho money. She and tho boy had always gono for tho money, taking a Bhort cut through tho woods. During tho wcok Mr. Carlisle had spoken to her only threo or four times, and then on business matters. "You need not worry about the flnancos," bo Bullenly replied; and then wrote out and posted up a notice to tho effect that tho next week tho men would receive doublo pay. There wbb a storm of indignant pro test, but tho now manager met U. "Thero Is tho notice If you don't HLo It you can quit," ho said. "Will thoro bo a cut In wagos?" was asked "Thoro ought to be. Nono of you nro earning your wages." "Did you think wo wero so short that wo had to skip a pay day?" asked the girl after considerable hesitation. "As you scum Inclined to worry about that which Is nono of your busi ness 1 will accept your resignation," replied tho manager. And while tho humiliated girl was putting away her books and putting on her hat ho wroto out a check for hot week's salary and throw It on the desk. She left It there as she walked out with burning cheeks and tear-fllled eyes. The money was sadly needed at homo, but sho'd go hungry sooner than touch It. It was tho noon hour. As she walked slowly homeward unable to realize as yet what a change an hour had made In three or four lives, sho turned aside Into tho woods to have a gcod cry and to plan what sho should do. Sho sat down utider a tree bcsldo a great bowlder and had como to tho crying part when aim heard tho tramp of men not far away ono-two-thrco-four they came Into sight nnd then turned to tho left and sat down on tho other sldo of tho rock. They wcro laboring men from the works. They had come there to talk things over. Miss Nettie had not como In rontact with the foreigners every hour In the day for two years without getting a pretty good understanding of thoir Ian guago. What she listened to chased tho tears from her eyes and made her gasp for breath. It was all right to skip a pay day. Thero would bo a double amount of fcash to bo brought from tho bank tho next week. . They argued that tho man ager would bring it himself. The four would be on hand to meet him on the path, and he was to be assailed nnd robbed. Further than that, his body, living or dead, wbb to bo carried to the old hut of a charcoal burner half a mile up tho mountain. They would rob him and thereby rob their fellow workmen, but avarice has no con sclonco. After three or four days they could slip away from tho works and divide the money nnd mako a safe get away. In case the blow of the club did not finish tho manager then and thero he was to be left to recover oi die, as the caso might bo. When they had sworn a solemn oath of loyalty they moved away and left tho girl al most too weak to walk homo. What was her duty In tho case? II was plain enough. It was to give Mr Carlisle notlco of tho conspiracy, that he might defeat it nnd save tho funde and his life. She would return to the office at onco'. No, she wouldn't! Tho manager had-lnsultcd her nnd humiliated her! Ho had forced her tc resign when thoro wbb not enough food In tho house to last three days. Ho had cut down hor salary. Ho was a prig a call an Insufferablo egotist. If sho returned ho would sneer at hor story and say that she had cooked it up in tho hopo of getting her placo back. He would ask her if sho thought him a child to bo thus tnken in. And tlion he would swagger around and do claro that ho could look out for' him self against a hundred DagocB. No, sho would not go back to bo In sulted over again. Tho mother said yes, but the daugh ter said no. It was not for either one of them to decide. Next morning tho girl woko up with a fever and partly delirious. Sho had worried for hours. The days came and went. Tho mother took no steps, and when Saturday came again the patient was not nblo to lift her head. So Sunday, and so a part of Monday. Then newB camo to tho houso that Mr. Carllslo and tho funds ho was bringing wero missing. They said he had absconded. Just after noon, whtlo the mother had run into tho houso of a neighbor to glean further particulars, tho sick girl left her bed and dressed herself and disappeared. After a long hunt they found her In tho old hut on tho mountain. Tho manager lay thero with a fractured skull and raving, and tho sick girl had his head in her lap and, was weeping. The money was there. Occasionally a circumstance may change a man's whole nature! Mrs. Carlisle Insists that that mar riage was a shocking thing, and that society will never receive her son's wife, but among those who don't care a copper whether It does or not are tho bride and bridegroom.

Already hats mado of Jot and mnline, or Jet and laco, with n touch of velvet In their composition, have appeared, and, while appropriate for present wear, they aro airy enough for summer. Tho Jet hat does not belong to ono senson but to all of them. It is a good investment in millinery. Many of tho new hats aro qulto high. Tho shapes themselves are moderate In height, but the trimming gives the effect of very high crowns. This phase of tho new styles is liked for tho combination of Jot with ma lino or laco. Two hats of this kind nro shown here, both of tho prettiest of tho latest hiodols. In ono of them u turban ohapo Js developed with a band of Jet covorlng tho brim and a soft puffed crown of nlallno. Over and around this crown ktbcrc is a standing ruffle of maliuo (doubled) supported by lino wires. No other trimming is used. Such a hatjjs useful at any season. Thanks to tho rocent discoveries of manufac turers, tho mallno is not as fragile as it looks. It 1ms been mado -waterproof. Tho Jot is ono of tho fow mil linery materials that have lasting qualities. Tho model of Jet and lace Is also n turban shape. It is somewhat elongat ed and has a soft crown of Bilk nnd VESTS AND GIRDLES FOR ELABORATING THE COAT SUIT IN ORDER to change tho appearanco of your dressy coat suit, or for tho sako of elaborating your tollotto upon occasions that demand It, tho soparato vest is a thing of beauty and a source of comfort. It 1b made of the handsomest and most brilliant of fabrics; bits of rich, highly colored brocades, gold embroidered satins, and ribbons which cost more than their weight in gold. Dut tho llttlo Test is small and takes only a short length to mako It. It Is a touch of gorgeousness meant to brighten up and lend lustre to tho quiet garb. If ono owns a coat suit of a good vel veteen or satin or any other of tho popular suit fabrics, tho separate vest and girdle will tono It up to fit tho most exacting of occasions.

Small bowH of black velvet ribbon nro poised at each Bide. Llttlo bouquets are often placed In this position, Instead of bous. They nro mado of little, lino (lowers or llttlo fruits.

It is trimmed with Jot orna ments, ono at each aide, consisting ol a fiat cabochon Into which a splko of Jet is apparently thrust. In splto ot its Klniplo shnpo and construction, this model is smart nnd almost stnrtllngly novel. Thoro Ih no doubting the favor with which thcHO hats ot Jet havo been re ceived by thoso who aro tho first to buy spring millinery. They wllf bo worn during tho wholo season, but, as no ono is content to own but ono ,hat, after holding tho center of the stngo for a while, they will bo relo gated to second place, with (lower and rlbbon-trlmmod millinery taking pre cedence.

JULIA BOTTOMLEY. fact, for functions to which ono wears a hat, tho llttlo brilliant vest nnd tho smart girdle mako tho suit Impres sive. It is a happy Idea to havo a bit of tho samo coloring in tho hat worn with these chic accessories. Tho small black velvet hat has mado opportunities for tho addition of trimming to har monize with colors worn in tho cos tume. Crdwns covered smoothly with tho same rich and Bhowy fabrics that are used for making vests, will bo found e'ffectlvo. The small waistcoats ajo embellish ed wltluhandsorao cut steel, Jet or rhlnestono buttons. Jet and rhino stone combined aro in great favor Just now. They are tho last word in the matter of brilllanco and look well on any color or mixture ot colors. Besides the llttlo vest thero Is tho girdle of .brilliant silk Tlbbon or piece goods, and tho specially good wide velvet ribbon. Plaids and Ro man stripes in such fasclnativo color combinations that one instantly falls In lave with them, furnish many of tho girdles. Brocades aro liked, but to bo worn at tho samo tirao as a bril liant vest, tho girdle of plain velvet ribbon furnishes about tho best choice. The80 girdles appear to bo adjusted loosely about tho flguro and extend somewhat below tho waist line. But think not that this is easily or care lessly done. They aro carefully placed, tho wearer adjusting them in front of her mirror and pinning them with the smallest of tiny safety pins on tho under sldo. Tho pins do not show, of course. The girdles, if of ribbon, are nearly always "crushed' a bit. Tho effort theso days Is not to mako the waist look "trim" and small, but to suggest ease and freedom. Tho effect of a handsomo, harmoni ous glrdlo in toning up a gown can hardly ho overestimated, "That glrdlo makes tho gown" Is a comment ono la apt to hear when a successful glrdlo lifts an ordinary gown to Its own ele gant level.

Watch Carefully the Child's Diet Start Them Off Right With a Good Laxative and Then Watch Their Food. Mothers aro often unconsciously very careless about tho diet of their children, forcing all to cat tho samo foods. The fact Is that all foods do not agreo allko with different persons. Hence, avoid what scorns to constlpato tho child or to gtvo it Indigestion, and urgo It to tnko inoro of what Is quick ly digested. If tho child shows a tendency to constipation It should Immediately bo given a mild laxative to help tho bow elB. By this is not meant a physic or purgative, for theso should never bo glvon to children, nor anything llko saltB, pills, etc. What tho 'child re quires it) simply a small doso of tho gontlcBt of medicines, such an Dr. Cnldwoirs Syrup Pepsin, which, In tho opinion of thousands of watchful moth ers, Is tho ideal remedy Mr any child showing a tendency to constipation. So many things enn linppen to a con stipated child that caro is necessary. Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness, and many other annoynnccH that chil dren should not havo can usually be traced to constipation. Many of America's foremost families are never without Syrup Pepsin, be cause ono can never tell when somo member of tho family may need It, and all can uso It.
