TheJackson S DAVID WON A WIFE -2 1 { Encounter With a Burglar Lucky Stroke for Plucky Young Salesman. B8y AUGUSTUS GOODRICH SHER- WIN, There was only one ray of light vis- ible about the plant of the Interstate Manufacturing company. That was in a corner of the main office, where David Harris sat poring over an account book. Once in a while he lifted his eves and stared dreamily at the wall. It was not from weariness or distaste for the extra work he was doing. It was when the picture of his fiance, pretty Mary Lee, came float- ing into his mind. and the air castles soncerning her formed a perfect vista of magical creations As to the extra work, David welcom- od that heartily. It meant extra money, and ready cash was a large ele- ment in his prospects just now. The company employing him did not pay princely &:lar Prociieal, hard-fist- od old Silus Mary's fatiter had set the figure Dovid mast carn 1ofore he would con. 1t ty i b tiage .ith nis daughter.

From the office we worked up a ten thousand dollar order for four ma- chines from a Mr. William Henry of Acton. There were other bids, but our goods seemed to please Henry “I remember the case,” said David. “Three days ago Borden started for Acton. The next day we forwarded to his address at the American hotel there the specifications and contracts. Today we learned that he had gone off on one of his irregular bouts. I have just received a telegram from the American hotel, stating that he has not shown up there. You know Borden throws everything to the winds when his drinking fit takes him. I believe that some business rivals are in a plot to sidetrack him, and probably have his shut up somewhere, dazed or drugged.” “That is a pretty bad state of af- fairs,” suggested Pavid. “Now for the remedy,” said Mr. Morse sharply. “The contract is to be let tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. If you think yourself strong lenough to undertake &he Jjob—start out. If you succeed it will mean a good deal for you, I can tell you that. A train leaves in half an hour.” “I shall be a passenger on that train,” said David simply, and put on his coat. At five o'clock the next morning Da- | vid was camping on the front porch of | the home of Mr. William Henry. He had reached Acton at midnight, had got the forwarded specifications and contract at the hotel, and had learned that Mr. Henry lived at a suburb ten miles out of the city.

David grab- bed at the man. The latter nearly stun- ned him by kicking out, made a dive for some near shrubbery, and disap- peared. “What's all that racket?" demanded a stentorian voice, and a man in pa- jamas appeared at an upper balcony out of a room opening upon {t PAGE AEVYVY Arc You Going to Build? | If so, or if you need lumber or building maierial of any kind, In mill work, | or for any purpose, let us figure with you. doors, sash, blinds, etc., we are the leaders.
