When Letty married George she was ‘not under any illusions. She knew | that he was a dreamer and that he ‘thought more of star-gazing--literally | as well as metaphorically—than of his | position as a clerk in the insurance company. But Uncle Tom was a well- to-do merchant, and he had promised to take George into his office at a sub- | stantial advance on the $15 a week which the young fellow had been re- | ceiving. In which he proved himself & man of his word. But two months of trial convinced ‘lthe merchant that he had got hold of i ‘ what he termed a “lemon.” “Otf course, Letty,” he said, “I am | perfectly ready to keep him on for your sake. I domn't suppose there's | anybody else would have any use for & man who spends most of his time writing out columns of flgures on pieces of paper and adding them up. What in thunder does he want to do it for? Can't he find any other way to amuse himself?

And George was upon his knees beside her, trying to comfort her. “Letty! I am a brute,” he said. “I didn't mean that, dear. No, it was 23 much with the thought of your fu- ture as of my own.
