He had held a positian in Bransforth’s company for six years, until Ranger was made head of his department. Ranger was an empty-headed man with the sole idea of being a good dis- ciplinarian. He had harassed the of- fice force until their work fell off in character and quality. And Howayd had been made the scapegoat, because Howard was the most efficient man Bransforth had seunt for both of them, and Ranger had stated positive- ly that it v.uas impossible for them to continue to werk together. e es- teemed Howard personally, but- It was the old st cf an ignorant super- intendent and & subordinate, last Bransicrth had turned to How “I'm sorry, M.

ZImmerman, Mgr. = you want = VI IR TR Only, positions such as Howard had filled, in a ¢hemical house which spe cialized on one or two articles of pro- duction, were almost impossible to se- cure. And Tloward and Luella were to have been married that May. “Never mind, dear. You will get a better position than before,” Luella sald consolingly. Her fiance kissed her, but he knew the awtu! difiiculty of the task before him. L. had been getting forty dol- lars a week, and the position had scemed so permanent that lived fairly well instead of trying to save money. Ile had only three hun-' dred in the bank, for their first sup- ply of furniture. And this was melt-' ing during he hot, dull summer months, when nothing could be ob- | tained, with fe:rful rapi.ity. July passed ard August was half way through, and the three hundred dollars was now reduced to helf that amount. Luella was always comfort- i | o1 fi ; and she did not dare to under | . | too. "| disappearance for me to find out that Baldwin, and I imagine that he want- ,ed to get rid of you because he knew | he had| Howard ever made. A moment afterward Tait came up to him. “We're mighty glad to see you back again, Baldwin,” he said. “Mr. Brans- forth said you were to go into Lus private office the moment you came in.” Howard looked up at Tait, and sud- denly the absurdity of his presence there struck home to him. He was appalled. He could only stare stupid- ly at Tait. He did not know what to say. Tait, mistaking his embarrassment for shyness, took him playfully by the arm and led him across the room to the glass door of Mr. Bransforth's of- fice. He ushered him inside and dis- appeared. Mr. Bransforth looked up and, rising from his chair, gripped the young man warmly by the hand. “I can't tell you how glad I am that letter found you,” he said. “I hope you can come back to us, Mr. Baldwin. It will be a serious disappointment to me if you can't, and something of & loss to the firm. To think that after trying to locate you all this time the name of your old address should sud- denly have come into my head! “First of all,” he continued, *‘I must apalogize frankly to you for my treat- ment of you. The fact is, Ranger came to us with the best of creden- tials from his old prace. I took the i trouble to look them up after he left, and found that he had written them himself and signed the name to them, “Well, it didn't take long after your he was absolutely incapable for the work. He was simply a bluff, Mr. that you saw through him. Dear me, how blind I was! Well, I want you to take his position. The salary is | seventy-five dollars a week. I hope | can count on you. You would have to start in tomorrow, if you could possi- bly manage it, for the whole depart- ment is simply in confuslon.” “I can come,” said Howard quietly, “on September the fifteenth.” Mr. Bransforth looked disappointed. “Well,” he said, “of course, if that is your ultimatum I must hold the po- sitlon open for you. But if it is the matter of a holiday, perhaps a little later would do.” “No, sir,” said oward. “You see, I—er—well, I'm going to be married tomorrow.” And that was the best prophecy that (Copyright, 1913, by W.

Princess Didit, a White Leghorn, belonging to Tom Barron, an English- man who has brought poultry raising down to an exact science, is the cham- pion competition hen of the world, having laid 282 eggs in one year. This means that she has smashed all previous records; has added hun- dreds of dollars to her individual value; has shown all poultry raisers that, after all, it is blood, breeding and care that “tell” and has added the finishing touch hoped for in the North American’s second internation- al egg laying competition which has Just closed. Princess Didit is one of a pen of five White Leghorns entered in this contest by Mr. Barron. These hens were received a little more than a year ago by those in charge of the competition. They quickly recovered from the effects of their long journey across the ocean and were in excel- “l Can't Tell You How Glad | Am Thst the Letter Found You.” ing; but she would weep secretly after Howard was gone. The censeless tramp, tramp through the hot streets, with the constani rejection every- where, wore on the young fellow's nerves. He hardly dared to see Luella now. They might have been married hap- pily three months before. Howard was becoming desperate. Even Sep- tember bore with it no certainty of a position. He had always avoided those parts of the city contiguous to Bransforth’s. | The thought of passing down tbel same streets throug’ which he had! walked in hayppier s was intoler- able. But there came iny when he found himsel’ in that cighborhood. | And then—perbaps it was the heat, | which had beon intense that week, or | the result of thie nervous exhaustion | brought at his despo ‘.(lvnc_\'—@ but a curious lipse of memory over- came him.

Cites a Queer Precedent, Mr. Justice Holmes has the reputa- tion of citing more peculiar cases from the old lawbooks than any other mem- ber of the Supreme court. He dug up an additional one Saturday to the amusement of his associates, when it was contended in a libel suit that the declaration was insufficient because the offense was not stated properly. “That leads me to recall a case in the old books” said the jug ice, “where an indictment set forth that the accused struck a man on the head, splitting the skull until a portion fe]] down on either shoulder, and the court held the indictment defective because it did not allege that the man wag killed.” The justice observed that it was a hair-gplitting decision, and he didn't intend it as a pun, either—New York | Times. | How They Do It. “I have invented a new dance™ “What do you call it?" “‘The Wall Street Wallop.' swing corners. change partners, sidestep.”"—Washington Star, [l e | Yon’ ‘ | i Best Butter, 3 brands, per pound Best Oleomargarine, per pound Can Salmon (180 kind) .
