MARGARET MELBURY'S

— » . (Continued.) thing wrong about them, for the profits of the business always have and always should have paid for all machinery needed. How you have managed to se cure them I do not know, but if they are legal claims, which they appear to be, I must see them paid. I see they are pay able October first, eighteen hundred and eighty-eight, January first and April first, eighteen hundred and eighty-nine. They will be paid when dye—when due, I say—but not one dollar of stock m this concern do you get. Furthermore, as economy is m order, I must dispense with your valuable services. You will please give up your keys and vacate your quarters here as soon as possible. I am thankful this is Saturday after noon, as it gives me Sunday to turn about." "But, Miss Medbury, consider!" "I have considered," was the quick re ply, "and I want you to go, and that at once." Gathering up their alleged notes the brothers stood looking at each other blankly, but as Margaret stepped to the door and opened it both took the hint and started out. "This is the eighth day of September. I shall be prepared to pay the first note when due," said she as the two started to go down the stairs. Mr. Charles turned about at the land ing and began again m hiseuave way: "My dear young madam, we did not expect such an outburst as this. It is hard enough to accommodate a parent by lending him money and then to be. turned upon by the offspring of that friend. Were it not that my duties as executor compel me" "Your duties as executor will not be required of you. You will leave matters just as they are—selling off nothing, handling nothing. I have seen the will,! and it is entirely optional with me, the sole heir, to sell or keep and run this business. Rather than trust you or your brother I will keep it and run it as best I can. Like yom* editorial services, your services as executor I can and will dis pense with." Here, slamming the door m his face, the excited girl ran across the hall, and sinking into her father's chair found relief m a flow of tears. She had kept up, she knew not how, until now, but here her woman's nature as serted itself.

CHAPTER II

"Oh, Jack! lam m trouhlc." Margaret had wept for some time when her will finally came back, andi with a determined wiping of eyes, but with quivering lips, she arose and ar ranged her hair, and picking tip her gloves prepared to go. She was unde cided as to whether she should go down stairs and notify Mr. Simmons, the book keeper, of the discharge of the Blites, but after debating the matter a moment or two decided to go home, think mat ters over and come fresh to the work Monday morning. She threw open the door to go, but started back, for there on the threshold, immovable as a sphinx, stood Jack. His apron was wound about his big bare arms, his face was as solemn as a martyr's, and he looked so utterly lugubrious that Margaret could hardly refrain from laughing even m her pres ent trouble. His face looked the pity he evidently felt, and m liev impulsive way the girl appreciated and' expressed that appreciation. Extending both her hands, she exclaimed: "Oh, Jack! I am introu bl e — serious trouble, too, I fear — and I need friends. We used to be friends, Aren't we yet?" Jack made no reply, but m an awk ward way grasped both her hands m his, and looking straight down into the tear ful eyes stood as immovable as before. | Finally his eyes twinkled, and dropping her hands he said, "I beg your pardon, Miss Medbury. I forgot myself. It seemed again as if you were the little Maggie I used to tease at school. Welll Well! Little one, you've a big job on hand." "What do you mean, Jack— Mr. Hazeley, I mean? Do you know all, or do you refer to my difficulty m making you my friend?" "I knew all, Miss Medbury. I could not well help hearing all, and you do need friends. You have acted very hastily, however, m discharging these two men. Who can fill their places?" "That is true," said Margaret, with a

laugh that had a sound of hysterics m it, "but what was I to do? I see now that I am not a diplomat. Oh, what Bhall I do?" "Keep cool, little woman. That's the first thing to do. Your father was as nonchalant m times of the greatest ex citement as any ordinary man would be on his way to dinner. If you propose running this paper you must get the mastery of your nerves first of all. Do you know anything of the business?" "About as much as I do of anything else I never took an interest m," was the despairing reply. "Dear niel I*fear I was hasty with those two men, but their attempt to swindle was so apparent that I lost all control of myself. You see I waa looking at their faces. You only heard their voices. I should have dissembled, and if I had it to do over again would give them a soft answer and seek advice. As it is, the fight is opened, and we must go through with it to the end. What that end will be God only knows."
