She found her father in the office making out a few bills. He thrust forward his long chin and aggressive beard and scowled at her. "Oh, it's you, is it? Come at last where your duty calls you, eh?"
"Oh, I get along pretty well. It's my off-time, and I don't do much reading or writing. Who is the city correspondent of this place?" "I don't think we have any one who writes regularly.

As opportunity occurred, the "situation" was explained to the members of the League; and though many of them growled at the idea of giving a present to Mr.
