The dust and roar of the city gave way to the scent and quiet of an old garden; the heat to the dew of a country evening, its breeze lightly moving the leaves of the trees and fluttering the ruffles of a girl's muslin frock, with‘ its pattern of sum‘ mer blossoms upon it.

The city's lite seemed sapped with the heat. Even the old man, who never stopped his work for anything, realized that it was unusually hot to- night. He fanned himself with his newspaper and took a sip from the glass which stood near him on the ta- ble. A Useful Helpmate. “Rest! Who wants rest? It you let money rest it rustsâ€"rusts!
