A POSITION OF TRUST By G. A. BARNES. 0000000000000000000000000 | Mr. John Shaw, capitalist and the 1father of a marriageable daughter, er and editor of the Morning Tele- gram. That Bradley was the son of a | man who had been, during his life, a | bitter enemy did not prejudice Mr. | Shaw; he had beaten and broken the other man, and that ended the matter. If old Bill Bradley’s son had been a | business man, he might have felt dif- ; ferently toward his proposal—but an editor! “No, sir! sent,” he shouted angrily. child marry a poor editor without prospects? No, sir! Never!” You have not my con- tested. “The circulation of my paper is increasing, and—" “No, sir! I want a man for a son- in-law, not an editor.” And Mr. Shaw turned his back to the editor. Bradley stood for a moment, looking at the broad, uncompromising back of his desired father-in-law, with a hearty “All right. Good morn- ing, sir!” went back to his paste pot and shears. The next morning’s issue of the Tel- egram contained this advertisement: “Wanted—A man for a position of trust. Apply in person to John Shaw, Central Building.” Mr. Shaw was a man of many af- fairs, but he made it a rule to see everybody who called at his office, and | often carried especlally pressing mat- ters home with him. When, about ten o’clock the next morning, the office boy announced that a gentleman wished to see him, he laid aside the matter on which he was engaged. The “But I have prospects,” Bradley pro- glared across his desk at Bradley, own- | “Let my | caller was a very young man, but car- ried himself confidently, as if he knew his worth and felt the world must rec- ognize it also. “I called to see about that position, Mr. Shaw,” he began briskly. “What position?”’ demanded Mr. Shaw, The young man looked nonplussed. “The position mentioned in your ad- vertisement.” A “My advertisement? I know of no advertisement,” | —slmply as a matter of friendship.” l The young man seefn&l l;ewudermi,'| “I saw in this morning’s paper an ad- vertisement for a man to fill a position of trust,” he stammered. “There i3 certainly gome mistake. I have no position vacant,” the capl- talist growled. A few uninterrupted minutes fol- lowed, then a card dropped upon the papers before him, and, turning, he found a stranger at his elbow. “Your boy wasn’t in the outer office, 1 1 ) i 4 ! | { ' . \ o ' i lh BB T 51 (EHEHHEr N grEn A §\‘"1'43'«5"3’*'!”!“1“5"!“9'%*'5’%"X"x’ oy ;»«i'ééx“s»«w««sus»i%éwfimit?@gw»w;u All Suits Cases, Hand Bags and Trunks at greatly Reduced Prices.

Farly the next morning the stream of applicants recommenced. that time it had not occurred to him to inquire about the advertisement | to which they all referred. Now, how- | ever, he looked carefully through his copies of the morning papers, bntg found nothing of interest. He did nnt: subseribe to the Telegram, and 80 sent the boy to the news stand for an issue of the previous day, and soon found what he looked for. took his hat and went to Bradley's office. The expression on his face | boded no good to that gentleman. It seemed the editor was busy that morning, and Mr. Shaw had to walt aome little time, which was a new ex- perience to him; usually his name was an open sesame to any man's office. He walked impatiently about the un- tidy little ante-room, and when he finally entered the editor's office his “What does all this mean?” he de- manded loudly, shaking the paper flercely. “Who put that advertise- ment in there?" “I did,” sald Bradley, so coolly that Mr. Shaw forgot the scathing denunci- ation he had intended to deliver. He glared at the editor wildly for a mo- ment. “Oh, you did? Well, of all the impu- dent, cursed presumption!” he began, lashing himself into a fury. Bradley drummed on his desk and smiled, and when Mr. Shaw finally stopped for lack of breath and exple- tives, the young man motioned him to 2 chalr and offered him a cigar, which he was too amazed to refuse. “You see,” said Bradley, as he held a lighted match \'o the cigar, “when I called the ofher day, you told me yod wanted a'man; and from our conversa- tlon I knew it was a very confiden- capital capital Hal apd important position he Was 16 {@degtbguidid g occupy, or you wouldn’t have been so persistent on the point. So I put the advertisement in my paper—it is one of the best pulling mediums in the city “Well, of all the infernal impu- dence!"” snorted Mr. Shaw, as he riished out of the office, slamming the door behind him. That afternoon the editor received a note that made him smile. In rugged characters he read: “Dear Sir: I have reconsidered my ' decision of a few days ago. I feel cer- tain that a man with as much nerve as you may be trusted to look after any man's daughter. Come out to din- ner tonight.
