When I received my ili'prve of lluchelor i, licit i nci -ini j ii instil . of laws, 1 was sure that all that was left for mo to do to secure a lucrative practice was to hire an olliee and hang out my sign. Six months afterward my ollice door was opened by a well-dressed, middle-aged man, and' 1 immediately jumped to the conclusion that, at last. 1 was discovered; that mv first client had arrived. The first words my visitor uttered dashed my hopes. "Can you tell me where Mr. 's ollice Is in tills building'."" Mr. was (Is now, for that matter) a celebrated member of the liar, whose ollice wis several Moors below . With not a lit tlo effort 1 managed to assume an air of cheerful politeness and to set Mr. 's cliont on the richt track. The following week 1 gave up my practice to become the private secretary of Mr. Andrew Cutter, the well-known trustee, whose son had been my room-mate at Cambridge. Among Mr. Cutter's eestuis (or rather, clients, for this person enjoyed his income by the provisions of no will) was an old Irishman named O'Connor. Tears before ho had been maii-of-all-work for Mr. Cut ter, and lie possessed a faith in that gen tleman's judgment and integrity as linn as was his belief in his own descent from IJoger O'Connor, the last king of Ireland. After leaving Mr. Cutter's employment, O'Connor invested his .savings in junk. Again and again he turned his capital, al ways with the shrewdness of a man of small beginnings, until he found himself the lessee of a small building on one of the wharves, and an established buyer and seller of second-hand shi-chaiidlery. In time he added a branch to his business. He leased the ground-lloor of the building adjoining, and opened a saloon where lie supplied the roustabouts, stevedores, anil sailors with lair whiskey at regular prices. After a while the profits from both en terprises became burdensome to the le descendaut of King 1 toper O'Connor. The loss of the throne was followed by rather hard times among the succeeding genera tions of O'Connors, and the trader in shii chandlery had been allowed to grow up without oven the rudiments of an educa tion, lint he had inherit ed probably from some of his plebian progenitors (lie had a tew that were not of royal blood) a good stock of common-sense. This led him to entrust his savings, year by year, to his old friend, Mr. Cutter, who invested them in real estate for the thrifty trader. One morning in June, soon after 1 had begun to assume my duties as private sec retary, the door opened slowly and silently, and a small man in black, wearing a tall hat, stepped softly into the ollice. He was clean-shaven, save for a fringe of iron gray beard which followed the line of jaws and" chin, and extended from ear to ear. His short, tumed-up nose, Hat at the bridge and wide at the nostrils, combined witli his long, thick tipper lip, loudly proclaimed his royal bood. It was O'Connor. lie closed the door without a sound, re moved his tall hat, placing it carefully on the carpet, smoothed his hair nervously, and coughed slightly behind his knobby hand. At Mr. Cutter's cheery "All, O'Connor! How are you'.1'' be walked gin gerly on tiptoe across the olliee and seated himself beside his trustee. Then followed a short confidential appeal in a husky thoug could being when O'Connor phi notes on the desk before Mr. Cutter and immediately leaned back in his chair with a tremulous sigli of relief that also stt) plied breath for the words, "An' you may count ut yourself, sor, av you plase." Mr. Cutter hastily counted the money, and then calling to me to come and see what I made it, torsed the pile of notes toward the edge of the desk. The pile was a fine old collection of veteran lives and tens, that exhaled a ripe perfume of salt fish with an undertone of tar. As 1 straightened up after finishing the count, Mr. Cutter asked me, with a suspicion of a twinkle in his eye, "Well, what do you make it?" "One thousand, sir," 1 answered, and O'Connor, who had leaned forward and was watching me intently, again sank back with a long sigh, and a "Thrue for you." Soon he rose nervously and started toward the door. Mr. Cutter said : "I'm glad business is so good with you, O'Connor." O'Connor stopped, then tip toed back to the desk. "Thauk you, sor. But whispher!" and with a furtive glance about the ollice, fol lowed by a confidential wink at me, he con tinued speaking behind the back of his hand: "1 do be aftlier hirin' one o' thim type-writer ladies a week most, now, to worruk for me." "Well, well!" said Mr. Cutter, much as one might sympathize witli a child that was pleased, "you'll be president of a bank next, 1 suppose." O'Connor allowed the beginning of a loud laugh to escape him, lint immediately after, clapping a haud over his mouth, doubled up and wheezily forced the re mainder of liis mirth back into his system. Then he straightened up, and slowly draw ing his hand away from liis mouth until it rested among his fringe of beard, said, with an air of reverence: "Oil, my! but it's a high-toned lady she is! An' smart. An eddicujted !" ' He finished with an upward and outward gest ure that plainly said that the subject was beyond his powers of expression. "How old Is she?" I asked. "hook at that, now!" said O'Connor, turning quickly to Mr. Cutter, with a quaint pretence of shocked propriety at my question. "Shore, I niver asked her but she do look to be a shlipof agurrul." "And what does Mrs. O'Connor say to your having a young lady in your olliee, Michael'."' asked Mr. Cutter. O'Connor dismissed the subject with a toss of the head in one direction and an outwu.il wae of his open hand in the oili er, merely adding, as he reached the ollice door, "1 never bodther the ould woman wid me business numbers." Then he left the ollice as quietly as he had entered it. It may have been an hour after this 1 was about to leave the ollice to deposit O'Connor's money, together with what oth er funds had come in during the dav when there came a timid knock on the glass of the olliee-door, and a young girl entered. She handed Mr. Cutter a letter, and then sat down near the window. Sh could not have been more than seventeen, and was ileiuler and graceful, but looked vry ileiioate. Thure wa about her an air of shy. almost childlike appeal. Wlille I was observing thus particulars, Mr, Outtar called me to him, and said to h lluent whisper, through which I I , distinctly hear the brogue without ! f pl to ,y ni.i .. .n ti,.,,.,w) libit she was furtively t 1WV...I.W1 ,V ..V.V.,. ,,,,. 1 ... . ......I l,ti,,(lti, rf ImuL- " line X I'l Iridium l It ini' in au unilcrtoiif, nil 1 stood by his dusk: "That wnril In chandlery of mine" n fa vorite name with htm for O'Connor "wants to open a bank uccottnt in his own name. 1 suppose that girl Is his new type writer. Head that," handing me the let ter the girl had brought. It was type written throughout, signature and all, and was characteristic. "Sir: 1 do be thinking 1 would like to have money in the bank. And if you please, which I mean no offence to you, will you deposit same in the 11 national bank, South Boston, in the name of yours with respect, M. O'C'oNNOIi." As 1 finished reading the letter Mr. Cut ter told the girl to tell Mr. O'Connor that the matter would be attended to. She then went out, blushing slightly as she crossed the room. Hcfore long 1 left the ollice to make my deposits, not very well pleased that 1 was obliged to take the additional journey to the bank in South Boston. As 1 rode in the open horse-car a fresli , , , , , ? "lt ,WXl thin tlannel coat was blown back, showing the ends of O'Connor's bank-notes pro truding from my breast-pocket. To avoid any possibility of loss, 1 took them from my coat and put them carefully in the in ner pocket of my waistcoat. 1 then be came interested in a newspaper 1 had bought on the way, and before long was, without knowing it, carried a block or two beyond my destination. I was walking back when 1 noticed a man and a gill standing near a doorway ahead of me, not far from the hank. The girl's figure seemed familiar, and as 1 drew nearer 1 recognized her. She was O'Con nor's type-writer. She and her companion were talking earnestly while they anxiously watched the approach of the horse-cur following the one 1 had just lett. Every look, ev ery garment of the man bespoke the sharp er. As the cur drew nearer he stepped back into the doorway, and the girl after a hur ried word of parting, walked quickly to the entrance of the bank. She stood there, waiting, until the car had passed. Meantime I had approached; when she turned to go back to her companion she came face to face witli me. She started violently and turned very pale. Her attempt to conceal her confus ion produced only a very toreed smile, which show ed her a novice at dissimula tion. "You are from Mr. Cutter's ollice, aren't yon'.' Do you remember me'.'" "Yes," 1 replied ; "I remember you per fectly. You a:e Mr. O'Connor's type writer." "Witli a painfully strained little laugh she said : "Yes that is it and Mr. O'Connor sent me over here to meet vou. He has changed his mind about the monev. He wants it to pay for some junk he has bought and and will you please give it to me?" She held out her hand, and I saw that it was trembling. She had spoken brenthlely. liken child who has learned a message bv heart. As i she finished 1 instinctively put my hand in I my breast-pocket. hue she was talking my mind had been unconsciously recalling the appear ance of the man, their behavior, her evi dent uneasiness at seeing me approach from an unexpected direction. Now it oc curred to mc that she could not have had time to go back to O'Connor's since leaving our olliee. But I asked no questions. 1 fumbled in one pocket alter another, as suming an expression of great surprise, and finally said, witli an ejaculation of ex treme annoyance : "I have come way over here for nothing, after all. You wili have to go back with me. and 1 will givey on the money at the ollice." There was not a trace of disbelief in her face as she stared at me. She was unde cided, but not distrustful. She looked anxiously toward the doorway where she had left the man, glanced tip and down the street, and after a moment's hesitation started with me toward a passing car. As 1 followed her 1 looked back over tn shoulder, but the man was not in sight. 1 said little to her on our ride back to d quite content to ow and then 1 felt lancing at my lace ad my paper. When we reached the ollice I opened the door and let her walk in ahead ot inc. She crossed the room and took the same seat she had had, the one by the window, while! went to Mr. Cutter and quietly, in a few words, cxdaincd the situation. I had barely finished sjieaking, when the door opened softly and O'Connor entered. He stood still and stared at the girl. She paled in anj instant, and sat trembling, re turning his stare. "Is your modther worse?" asked O'Con nor, after a moment, in a hushed, kindly voice. The girl shook her head, and mur mured that she had not been to see her mother yet. She had rolled her handker chief into a ball, and was nervously pass ing it from one hand to the other. "O'Connor," said Mr. Cutter, "have you decided whether you want that money de posited or not?" O'Connor looked at him in mild surprise. "Do whatever you think's the best wid it, Mr. Cutter," lie finally answered, sim ply. Mr. Cutter handed him the letter of instructions about opening the bank ac count. "Did you write that letter, Michael?" O'Connor stared blankly at the letter, Stone in the Kidney.

At last his gate met that of the girl. Her face was drawn with entreaty. O'Connor handed the letter back to Mr. Cutter. "Head It to mo. sir, av you ld'ase;" and he muttered something about his oyeslght. Mr. Cutter read the letter aloud to the end, and there was silence. Slowly O'Connor's expression changed from surprise to comprehension, from comprehension to homely compassion. He turned his head and looked at the girl. She met liis look for a moment, her 11)1 quivering, then weakly clasped her hands and bowed her head. "Well?" said Mr. Cutter. O'Connor rapidly moistened his lips. "Misther Cutter, 1 did not write that letther." The girl sobbed softly ','1 thought not," said Mr. Cutter, dryly. "1 dec(ted it," said O'Connor, and 1 saw him close his eyes, and offer up a very hurried prayer for divine forgiveness. Without further remark he crossed to tjie girl, took her geiitly by the hand, and led her out of the olliee, softly closing the door behind him. Kor live minutes neither Mr. Cutter nor 1 spoke, wlille the sound of childish sobs, mingled with soft but hoarse whispering, came in at the transom. Then O'Connor returned alone. He w as replacing his wal let in his pocket as lie entered. He was a pitiable object. As he stood sheepishly glancing from Mr. Cutter to me, his arms hanging list lessly by liis sides, he lookud like a very amiable, but very ugly, bull-terrier in dis grace. "O'Connor." said Mr. Cutter, after a long pause, "you know you never dictated that letter." "Yis, sir," whispered O'Connor, hum bly. "You know that girl mount to be a party to a theft." "Yis, sir," in a lower whisper. "Do you intend to keep the girl hi your employment?" "No, sir the gurml lias gone to her modther." O'Connor was becoming a lit tle less limp. "Does her mother live in the city?" "Yis, sir no, sir she said she did 1 mane. 1 thought " O'Connor sudden ly grew defiant: "Nlvermind, her modther lives In Cinciiinern so! But 1 don' give a doni if her modther 'd live in Boolgana, the gurrul shud go to her so'" i Alter wiping the perspiration from hi-. face In one quick comprehensive mopping with a large led handkerchief, he placed his tall hat tiruily on his head with botli hands and walked out. "Blood will tell," said Mr. Cutter tome 1 "He certainly lellects no discredit on lni ! royal ancestors," and he hurried after liis ward in chandlery to shake him by the . hand before he should leave the building, j Srrib)ierH MaiHUini .

Last Friday afternoon the grand jury, which has been sitting during the March term and investigating tlie evidence presented by Dr. Parkhurst and his agents as to tlie existence of dives and disorderly houses, as well as the general violation of the ex cise law without interference by the police, brought in a sweeping and damaging pre sentment. This presentment says that It la upiKirent to all that gambling houses, housMi ot prostitution und saloons are oien in violation of the law and that the ioliee are fullv aw are of their existence The onlj raids madi upon them are made by citizens The police rule provideo that the captain of each precinct shall send to ihiIkv headquarters, a list of the gambling and disorderly houses in their respect ive preciticta hucli reports are made und al though the law gives Kiwer to the suierinteud ent to issue bisown warrant and have his ofllcers break into such place, without going to ouuri, such proceedings are not taken lu luct therein no appearance, of police interference w-itu gamb ling nouses, houses of prostitution, or saloon keepers who violate the excise law Facts like these lead the grand jury to the inevitable conclusion that the law is not enforced because tlie police are iu cor rupt collusion with tlie rum-sellers and dive-keepers. As a result of the grand jury's action.last Sunday was what is known as a "dry Sun day" in New York, the police having passed word among the saloons that they must be closed. There was wrath among the thirsty crowd in consequence, and in some places extra policemen were detailed in front of tlie saloon doors to quiot the tumult. Henry- M. Taber, the forcinau of the grand jury, expresses the opinion in pri vate that nearly $10,000,000 is collected annually from the keepers of gambling dens, saloons, concert halls and houses of ill repute in New York city and distrib uted among tlie members of the police de partment as the price for leaving these places unmolested. The lowest anil cheap est places pay regularly 80 a mouth for this purpose, aud the "higher grade" are assessed larger sums in proportion. Piophobia At which " The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table7' makes merry, has its origin in the unpleasant results which many people experi ence after eating pie. This discomfort, or distress, is nothing more than the pro test of our digestive organs against hog's grease. The ordinary stomach draws the line at the "rich ness" produced by the use of lard. Aware of this fact, modern science has intro duced a clean, delicate, veg etable substitute for lard. It is called By its use good pie and good health are easily har monized.
