John Gresham came into his place of business like a hurricane. His low- ering brow suggested the thunder- cloud. The girl at the “Information” desk stared at him in open-mouthed wonder. Diggs, the office boy, ten minutes late and just hanging up his cap, tried to fade away from view. He was halted by a stern peremptory challenge. “Late, are you? Don't repeat it!” Diggs wilted. Over behind the rail- ing Ned Warner, bookkeeper, started, stared hard at his relative and em- ployer and then bent his head over his books, a kind of uneasy half guilty ex- pression on his face, Miss Ina Vaile, the stenographer, turned quite pale. Never had there been a more peaceful harmonious of- fice, never a kinder hearted chief. To gee Mr. Gresham now—stern, savage, almost brutal—it was chilling—aw-' ful! | “I want it understood here and now,” fairly shouted Mr. Gresham, “that there are going to be new regu- lations in this office. Diggs late this morning, cashier yesterday. Two of our collectors, I nnderstand, were out‘ all night a week ago. I have been hearing things and it's got to stop. I won’'t have anybody in my service who appears here for work jaded and worn out with late hours. I'm watch- ing things—look out!” Here Ned Warner groaned to him- self and looked worried. A dense si-, lence fell over the room as Mr. Gres- ' ham passed into his private office.

But he soon will."” “You—you are going to tell him?" “I've done it already—by letter., 1 just left it on his desk. Ina, for mer- cy’s sake hurry in there, quick! Get that letter. It's no time, the present, for father to read it. I'l be less cowardly and go to him openly when he's out of this tantrum.” “Oh, I fear! I fear!" trembled poor | Ina, but she went to the private of- fice. “Huh! for anything?” de- manded Mr, Gresham, so flercely l'mt‘ her heart sank. “Why, I—I was looking for letter.” “That it?” challenged Mr. Greshar and he held up a missive just opened “Well, I've read it.

Demand by fu 11 n: Nicknames e ubstitution, Delicious and the genuine Refreshing THE CocAa-CoLA COMPANY, ATLANTA, Ga, felt the responsibility as a sacred charge. The youth was lovable but weak, and his dealt with him very gently. That morning Mr. Gresham had learned of his being seen with a gay young card- playing and drinking crowd. This was the cause that morning of his unusual spell of temper, as his employes deemed it. A dark cloud seemed to hang over the office all that day. Mr. Gresham remained in his office until noon. He walked out of the place then, his grim sllence adding new uneasiness to his anxious watchers. Ina, pale and sad looking, was start- ing to leave the office for lunch when Ned approached her in the anteroom. “Can I have a word with you, Miss Vaile?” he inquired. “Why, certainly,” replied Ina, who always liked the young fellow, “You have been a good friend to me,” he said with sincerity and hu- mility. “I am in deep distress and I feel that I must make a confidant of you. I am responsible for the trouble here this niorning, I am sorry to say.” “T did not know that,” replied Ina, with true sisterly sympathy. “Well, I am. I have been a foolish, disloyal fellow to the kindest man that ever lived, Mr. Gresham, and he knows it. Oh! my sins are not very heavy, but I have wasted time, gone with riotous companions and other wise disappointed him. He was hint- ing at me when he burst out so this morning,” and Ned, with honest tears of contrition in his eyes, told Ina the whole story, ending up with: “For the sake of you others I guess I had better go somewhere and make a man of myself.” “You will do nothing of the sort!” declared Ina. “There is too much good | in you to throw yourself away. Go stralght to Mr. Gresham, tell him all you have told me, turn over a new leaf and make him happy.” “I'll do it, and T'll reform, T vow 1 will!" cried Ned earnestly, It was late in the day when Ina indulgent guardian | | | o timidly entered the room of her em- | ¥ | ployer, little dreaming of how favor: | ably Ned Warner had paved the way | for a gracious reception.
