Mr. Miggles took a hand in visiting the employment agencies, and brought home a collection for his wife to choose from. All were discarded. It just so happened that Miss Janet Brewster, president of the Society for Improving the Condition of Domestic Servants, had decided to enter service in order to get first-hand knowledge of the problem, and when Miggles returned to the employment agency for a fresh batch, he caught sight of her, dressed in a picturesque Swedish costume, and hired her on the spot. "Lena's" advent in the Miggles family caused quite a sensation and Jack was particularly impressed, and as the days went on, his attitude toward the new maid began to be remarked upon by the rest of the family. In the meanwhile. Count d'Estang, hopelessly smitten with the wealthy Miss Brewster, sought the aid of a private detective to locate the object of his adoration. This added complication served to mix matters, especially as Mrs. Miggles missed a valuable pin from her dressing table and jumped at the hasty conclusion that "Lena" had taken it. An examination of the maid's trunk disclosed an outfit of very expensive clothes, and, as this constituted quite conclusive proof of the maid's guilt, the detective was ordered to arrest "Lena." This sensation, happening as it did, in the midst of a reception, caused quite a commotion, especially as it was quickly learned that Euphemia was wearing the missing pin, thus proving "Lena's" complete innocence. Mr. Miggles' threat to discharge her was met with Jack's declaration that if "Lena" left the house he, likewise, would go, and this set everything at sixes and sevens. The very next day, to her great delight, Mrs. Miggles received an invitation to speak before the Society on the servant question. Her preparations for the event were very elaborate, but she was hardly prepared to find that the celebrated Miss Janet Brewster was none other than "Lena," the maid. Quickly, a change of heart took place, and Mrs. Miggles rushed back home and had the maid's room refurnished and repapered so that when "Lena" returned, she would find everything improved. In due time, the fair deceiver appeared on the scene, only to be met with the greatest deference by all, and. as the detective and Count d'Estang also arrived a short time after, they were met with a warm reception. While all of the foregoing was happening, a mutual attraction had sprung up between Jack and "Lena" which culminated in an engagement which delighted the entire Miggles family and brought assured peace where only discord had dwelt before.
