There was work for him to do. handed a helper and came down from the city. The El the broker. There were only two others in the family--his wife and his daughter Qertrude. That Miss Ger- trude was engaged to young Mr. Da- venport, the novelist, had not excited the country to any great extent. He came down with the father every Sat- urday noon and remained over Sun- day. He had written many a tale where the lover was a hero and the girl a heroine, and where romance and adventure were thicker than rab- bit tracks on the first winter's snow, but the course of their true love had been almost monotonous. They hadn’t even been attacked by a ferocious grasshopper while saun- tering about the lawn. Theirs was a gentle, every-day cooing, and neither party suspected that an old tomato can was going to iotroduce thrills and throbs. 0O1d Slade didn't like his helper, who gave his name as Griggs. Griggs knew his business, but he was vain and conceited. He thought himself a Don Juan. He had read novels in which chauffeurs, gardeners and stable boys married the heiress of the family, and he was on the lookout for just such a financlal transaction. It was his hint to Old Slade that he was going to win the heart of Miss Gertrude Ashton within thirty days that 2ot the old man down on hi nd made rail out: “You let up on bheir coneeited fool and attend to your won't last here a day lon And then what does Miss do hut find out and in a spirit of mischiel seem to enconrage the hopes work, corner. Griggs came on a Monday morning,. Mr. Davenport did not come down the following Saturday. Old Slade could have dropped a hint the first day that Miss Gertrude was engaged, as the matter was public property, but he was suffering with his hand, and then 1t wasn't his business to be dropping hints. By Friday of the fol- lowing week he decided to go to a hospital In the city and have his hand treated. or five days, and Griggs would have charge. That wasn't the shock Griggs was to get; that was the glad hand. With old Slade out of the way there must follow declarations of love and an elopement and marriage. One of the first things he wounld do after { the couple had been forgiven and he | had been installed as the sole and only son-dn-daw would be to hreak Slade’s neck and discharge hin with in ha! ha! During Saturday fore- noon he wis too busy with the lawn ’ mower to declare his love, and short- ‘ Iy after lunch Mr. Ashton and the | lover arrived.

You two un- masked villains will not dare to ralse a hand. That's all. Open your mouth to the gag.” The butler had remained up for Mr. Davenport to come in, so that the house could be locked up for the night. After a eouple of hours had passed he aroused the house and a a down, but he had seen nothing. The grounds were gone over, a shouted, but he could not be traced. When morning came the sheriff was telephoned to, and he came out with two constables. There was an all- day search without result, Then the | auto was remembered and the sheriff gave it as his opinfon that the miss- ing man had been seized and carried L off {or revenge or to be held for | ransom! Acting on that theory, he ‘-»|n nt most of the night telephoning Fand telegraphing, Griggs had been very officious in the search, and just {at dusk he eame in to find Miss Ger- trude alone on the veranda. It was an opportuntty and he whispered: “The villaing have been folled!™ | “What do you mean?" “Be in the arbor at 10 o'clock!™ “You idiot, what do you mean!" | the girl flung at him as she saw the | grin on his face I love you!™” And that settled Mr. Criggs, He had sufficient sensge to see that he had made a mistake, and as he had nothing to pack he took the highway at once. It was the girl, at a family council, that figured out that Griggs had had something to do with the strange disappearance, and she afterward led the search of the outbuildings. Mr. Davenport was no more used up than a man that had been starved and gagged for twenty-four hours would nathrally be, and after a day or two was all right. They didn't overhaul Griggs, because they didn’t want to, and Mr. Davenport agreed with his fliancee when she sald‘: “Why, I think it's positively nice that we can point to a bit of romance in our courtskip! It was getting too humdrum!” Job for Actors. “One class of persons with whom actors out of a job stand high is the managers of department stores,” said a theatrical agent, “They covet them for floorwalkers. If men hanging around here take that kind of a job not many of them would need to be idle, & ugers in ety shops offer them . and conntry storekeepers write aph for them. Actors make kers. They arve graceful, suave, they know how to places and telew ideal tloor the e please women “But it is a3 is worth to mention as a man's life such a job to the much average actor, Hig pride is a precious possession, and Lhe would rather go hungry than work in a store in New York.
