But he resigned suddenly about'a Week after his wife had ‘départed to visit her father. Just walked casually into Thorne Blaisdell's office ene after: noon to say: i “I'm leaving tonight. Think Tyler can’ take good care of everything, but heré fs my address if he wants to ask anything.” For a moment Thorne Blaisdell hadn't understood that John was leaving permanently; he assumed that he was going to see his wife. But when John did make him undgr- stand, the older man flushed with anger. For over three years Thorne Blaisdell had been befriending the youihful Lindsays. He prejudiced against John at first be- cause of his slow, reticent ways. But he had grown honestly fond of him and delighted in his dependability. He had given him his first job merely because John was married to the | daughter of his dearest friend and sorely needed the work. He had rented them a little cottage on his estate for about half what it was worth because he was interested in helping them. And in a thousand and one ways both Mr. and Mrs. Blalsdell had made life casier and pleasanter for the young couple, Much as “Uncle Thorne” loved that charming little matron, Mrs. John Munro Lindsay, he knew quite well that she had never really learned to adjust herself to John's mod ing capacity; that she wiruggling under the having been a wealthy man's oniy daughte; But he rejoiced in small victories over self and laughed indulgently over her mistakes. He knew John was a plodder, but realized that he was no stupid plodder, hat he had to come to be a genuine power in the organization. The older man had been wont to say this sometimes when little Mre. Lindsay fretted at him because her John was not being advanced more rapidly. “But. T'nele Thorne, what. use that going to be to us # hundred Years from now?" she had demanded petulantly. He had patted her should “Not much a hundred years from now, but it will mean a Jot smoother traveling for you about five vears from now, - Mistress Merry. so - just you stop fretting. What he had forborne cause he didn’t” want to rouse her flaring temper was' that ome thing that stood in the way of John's ad- vancement was that young man's bitter despondency, his lack of confl dence in himself during the freq periods when John and Merriam w not “getting along well.” he_ older man_ knew that Merriam and John bit of a spat before for her father's, but it had not “to add be- of course; NEAR 13TH AND H STREETS A section where property is due for a PRICE, $ brick.
