That night the loneliness of his situation appealed to him more than ever before. He had almost forgot- ten the faithless young woman who | had been the cause of his migration to this half-settled and almost unin- habited region. He had the normal human need of companionship—yet he had no one *o call his, neither wife nor parents nor family. He surprised Mr. Smith by appearang at the post | office again the next morning. “I think I'll relieve you of the boy | for a few days,” he said. “It might be companionable—and then, whon; you get word of the sender we can have him shipped back again.” With many directions from good- | hearted Mrs. Smith as to the care of | the child, Johnson took him into the cart and drove away. And as the fat, | chubby hand stole into his own John- | son felt a curious goftening of the heart and a sense of a strange happl- ness. | He did not return for several days, and when he did appear at the post office, Mr. Smith was amazed to hear the child calling him daddy. “Well, you see,” explained Johnson, sheepishly, “I came to the conclusion ' that I was a sort of selfish cuss, liv- ing all alone, and I might as well do a little good in the world. So Johnny and I have sort of struck up a part- nership. He's going to run the home and I'm going to run the farm, aren't we, Johnny?" | “Yeth, daddy,” sald Johnny, cling- ing to his new father's coat. i Ed. Smith turned to his wife when the cart had rolled away. ! “I hate to think of Mr., Johnson's feelings when the real father turns up,” he sald. | “Perhaps he won't turn up,” an- swered hLis wife. Do you suppose—" “No, no, my dear; it isn't his,” her husband answered. “But it's a mighty queer situation.” The problem was solved a few days later by the arrival at the post- master's ofiice of a pretty and highly excited young woman, inquired breathlessly for the boy. vio dust of Alabama off his feet and set- fle in another state.

However, you wait here, miss, and I'll get Mr. Johnson down by telephone inside of a couple of hours.” Two hours later Johneon, looking very uncomfortable, arrived with the boy. But Jehnny absolutely refused to go with his new-found relative “I guess you'd better spend a day or two here, miss,” suggested Mra. | Smith., “Then he'll grow sort of used to you, and it won't be so hard om them."

U der existing circumstances, however, he realized that it would be a tedious road to the winning of that coveted prize, He was naturally indolent, self- sacrifice was painful to his refined nature, and, to express his secret “It's a hard outlook, [I'll admit” spoke old Lisle, when he and David found themselves alone. “That bank- ruptey of Merritt & ('o. has about swept our coffers clean, The worst of it is that it wiil take us fully a year to get a new standing with our modern process outfit,” “But when you do, it's clear sail- ing, isn’t it?” submitted David in his cheery, optimistic way “I hope 80, and \ir over to his desk.
