C. Bastment "I wish"-- Miranda said, then stop- ped, sighing. She was so little used to having her wishes come true. | + Miranda loved color and light and music. e in her there must have been a stain of trop: | dc blood, else how aggount for her de- | sires any more than for her silky black hair, her liquid black. eyes, her fine olive skin touched with scarlet? Her dancing as well was wholly untaught, untimed save by the sweep of the wind, the lulling patter of raindrops on the cattage roof. She danced only | when she thought herself alone. Her grandfather, the minister, thought dancing of any sort a deadly sin. | He had a heart kind and true, this bent, white haired old gentleman, and nd it was 'gh : up the feminine counterpart of its fa ther. » It was 8 queer, a piteous jest of fate that gave her, a woman born for the missionary cause, such a piece of quick- silver as Miranda for a daughter. How the girl came by the quicksilver exsept through the grandmother was a puszle of heredity. Her father was a mission- ary, meek in all things except regard- ing his chosen work. There he had a lion's heart, a Spartan's endurance. Thus Miranda had been left behind when her parents went to the far east. That was ten years back--so long ago they were little more to her now than 'memories. " Miranda picked up her mother's lat- est letter. The paper was thin, the writing fine and crabbed, but she was able to read an account of the dancing girls in one of the heathen temples. After the third reading she shut her eyes. Her mother had dwelt feelingly upon the horror, the impiety of it all, but somehow there had crept between the lines enough of the east to bewitch the reader. She seemed to see it all-- the crowd, the lights, the wreaths of smoking incense, the figures swaying in time and tune. And as she thus saw mentally there came to her a longing | not to be resisted to dance dance, dance, the night away. It was evening. Her gruadfather was away at a special service in his | mission chapel. She had been left be- | hind to finish some slight household tasks. Half a mile down the street the Brixton fancy ball was in full blast. She had a card to it--one she had not dared to display. Now, insane- ly, she made up her mind to go--not- withstanding her formal regrets. She would not go as Miranda Aé¢ton--ratber as a dancing girl from a' world un- known. ft, amase until he caught "Miranda, I en to pluck you a brand from the bu g--but, oh, you wanton! You have it certain you will burn for this fn everlasting fires." He swung upon' heel, but turned back, saying dully, *I shall be waiting when you choose e--home." Miranda sprang 'toward him, but Landon restrained: Ber. "You will only make things worse,Y Le said. "Listen! Tom Brixton will veuch for me--that I mean you no harm $n what I say. Let me take you awayito the city. It Is the place for such/as you. Here life will be a burdes to you and those around you. There you may be happy and famous and yi! "Let's get ont of this," Brixton sald, opening a locked glgor that led to his father's office and 'wihg the minis- ter 4nd Landon within it. Miranda fol- lowed then,' moving like one in a dream. There werd low, earnest words, whose import she ald not catch, then' somehow 'she Was fhisked off to the parsonage. J She did not- "that night.

Why, he could not understand. Tom Brixton might possibly have enlight- ened him. It was Tom who kept Mi- randa in touch with what went on in the little brown cottage, and when he said simply "Come!" she knew sowme- thing of what to expect. But not all. No fancy could paint for her the mother face, wan and full of mether longing, or show the father, thin and bowed, with yet something of soldier fire in bis faded eyes.

'MORALS IN BUSINESS. "ancial Life of Toron reader must. wonder how the to. about thelr usual! pursuits, and meet their friends #nd acquaintances, afier the exposures they have been subject- | master plumbers of Toromto can go ©OUTt that caused the dréd dnd fifty business men of prev- lous good character who are fgund to have been joimed together in an oath- bound brotherhood to extract imordjn- ate gains from those who came to them as customers. It would be reassuring if disgrace attended such exposures as these. But does it? asks The Toronto Star, which thus continues: The most discouraging feature of the whole thing is that disgrace does mot follow exposure and conviction. There is a general public censure and a collective upbralding of offenders, but for the In- dividual there is apology and excuse. He says for himself and his friends repeat that he was but one of many, but he could mot hold out alone, that he is as straight as the next man, and 80 on. Or he will go further, and say that in joining together they only aim- ed to secure a profit of twenty-five per cent.; that they desired to brace up in- competent conipetitors, who tendered below cost, demoralized trade for a time, and went bankrupt at last, to the injury of many. He will even grow . i Go i, was 4 in Perhaps it will be found that some, being so cireumstanced that they could, have gone just as far. Business needs a new declaration of a moral code. Every man in businéess- should face the fact that he himself must decide some things for himself, --what he will do and what he will not do, irrespective of what his oppon~ ent in business does or what he sus- pects his opponent of doing. Nine~, tenths of the dishonesties in trade are done under sheiter of the excuse that. rivals In business do these things or, worse, and must not be allowed to. prosper too greatly by their unfair practices. This is contemptible rea-. soning, for each supplies the other. with a pretext for sharp practices against third parties. The mam who fights the devil with fire spreads the, war. There must be a standard fromi which a man cannot depart without, tnourring moral blame--there must be a line which, if he steps over, he de- teriorates and becomes less than hon- est. Thereafter he is honest only in the comparative sense, and can omy admire himself by bringing up comn- trasts with those less nice in their methods. When men get as far as, that they begin calling In lawyers to interpret honesty for them, and the. only boundary they respect is the limitation the law imposes. They no longer ask themselves "Is it right?' They ask their lawyer: "Is it legal', If he doubts it they retain him te eoatrive it somehow. Why should not a business man test {s practices by asking himself if what & proposes to do is right, and just, and whether it is such treatment as he would like to receive were ul other v's shoes isthe 3 and, Yet the Pp judge to desig- nate the operations of these represén- tative Toronto business men of to-day as downright robbery and plunder of ed to, The reader must be ally curious as to the manner in which a master plumber will carry himself when he meets any one of those men who have been Ris customers during the past three years--men whom he has plucked like plgeons, men he has lured In to become the prey of his se- cret band. Any man who has plain, old-fash- foned ideas of right and wrong, of good and evil, will suppose that indel- ible disgrace has come upon the hup- their for the methods pursued in their. establishments so long as they are the usage of the trade, the whole conscience of busi-. ness will become no better than that of the most unworthy person or most, cl 1 firm in trade.
