At 12 o'clock John Jennings laid down his pen, got down from his high stool, and went quietly toward the of- fice of Mr. Campion, the new manager. He knocked timidly at the door. “Come in!” shouted Campion. “Oh, it’s you, Jennings?” “Yes, sir,” stammered Jennings, looking at Campion with courage born of desperation. “Mr. Campion, I want to ask if the firm couldn’t let me have i & little more than a hundred after this l month.

It would break his heart—if he were here—to see the little business he worked up slipping away into bankruptcy.” “You were not intended for busi- ness, as father was,” the younger sister said with more of the brogue “Anyway, I'll be lighting the shop before the shadows grow deeper in your eyes.” Nora smiled as she watched Anne struggling to reach the lamp that hung from the ceiling. Then she glanced at the now dark streets. “It's strange how late every one is in lighting up tonight,” she com- mented. But it was not in the least strange to one who realized the frantic con- dition that prevailed in the little shopping district. The small traders were in a state bordering on panic, for the electric current had been dis- connected, Patrick Malone did not possess so much as a candle with which to lure hungry mortals into his shop. Sud- denly Patrick’s eyes were riveted on the window of the rival butcher across the street. single candle the man was filling a half dozen newly purchased lamps. Suddenly he remembered the small shop that he had called a junk shop, and a second later he stood outside the store in which Nora Gaines and her sister attempted to wait upon a dozen clamoring customers at once. “It must have been father's spirit that tampered with that electric cur- rent,” Anne found time to whisper hurriedly into Nora's ear while she tied up the last lamp in the store and turned out the last quart of ofl for a customer. Nora sent a gwift smile into Anne's eyes, then found herself gaz- ing into the anxious face of Patrick Malone. “I haven't a single lamp left," she answered in a voice of regret to his quick inguiry. “We have plenty ot candles—if they will do.” Patrick decided swiftly, because two customers were demanding fllu- mination of any kind. “Sure they will,” he said, you have candlesticks, couple of dozen.” Back in the butcher shop, he lighted a single candle and found that he knew no more about the patent holders he had purchased than he did about dressmaking. So he rushed back to Nora Gaines for in- structions. “I'm so sorry,” she said swittly. “I thonght you knew how to fill the holders. She glanced at Anne. “Can you take charge of the customers for “and it give me a up process—he is in difficulties.” Patrick watched Nora as she stood in the glow of one candle and then on to the next until his small shop looked like a Christmas tree, and deep in his' mind was the convietion that an angel' herself was Nora. “And T'll mot tell you right oft what lighting-up tfme has brought me,” he said with a soft light in his blue eyes.

In fact, it was my intention to ask you to resign at the end of the month.” Jennings, struck dumb by the blow, only looked appealingly at Campion. ! “You'll have to go at the end of the | month,” said Campion. “We'll give you a month’s salary ahead. And no doubt you’ll fall into another position very soon—one more suited to you. That’ll be all, Jennings.” Utterly crushed, Jennings crept ) back to his stool. His mind whirled, chaos seemed to have opened beneath his feet. To lose his position, after 20 years’ service, at forty-three! What could he do? It was the most terrible thing that had ever happened to him. He said nothing to his wife. Mary and he never discussed office affairs. | The days flew by. Jennings had | barely a week at the office where he had spent the better part of his work- ing years. And as he sat on his stool thoughts came into his mind that he had never kuown before. | The safe in Campion’s office was an old one. On Saturday nights it con- tained never less than five or six thou- sand dollars, which came in durlng[ the afternoonm, after banking hours. | It would be the simplest matter to | slip the key of Campion's office from ' its hook in the night watchman’s little office, open the safe with the old com- bination, and retire with his booty. The idea became an obsession and he | resolved to put ft into execution on | the last Saturday of the month. , Everything favored his plan. Cam- plon had gone away into the country. At six o'clock Jennings went out among the other bookkeepers and clerks, but, as soon as the last had de- parted, he turned and made his way back, secreting himself in a corner of the etenographers’ room, where half- I blind old Sykes would never see him. \ Midnight arrived before he crept out ' toward the watchman’s office. The key to Campion’s room hung by the | door. Old Sykes would sit, dreaming of the past, behind a half-partition of wood, for hours at a time. In his stockinged feet Jennings crept up, ab- stracted the key and fled. He put on his boots again and crept 1 cautiously toward Campion’s office. He thought he heard. a slight noise with- in, and hesitated, but it was not re- | | beated, and, cautiously turning the key in the door, Jennings entered. A man in a black mask was Kneeling | ¢ in front of the safe, counting a pile of bills. At the sight Jennings’ scheme of theft was all forgotten. He remem- bered only his long service with the { firm, his watch-dog trust and obedi- | ence. And this burglar was about to | victimize them. With a shout Jennings leaped at the fellow, who, taken off his guard, | impetus. Then, seeing that Jennings . Was unarmed, he sprang at him in | turn, wielding a formidable iron | Jimmy, with which he must have pried | open the window that gave on the in- terior yard. Jennings evaded caught the fellow's arm. They wrestled i to and fro, Jennings calling for help | loudly. His strength was outclassed | by that of the other, for 20 years of | | office work does mot make for mus- } cularity. He knew that once he lost ; | his hold on the burglar's arm the Jimmy would descend. | The burglar fought in silence, but in | desperation, too. Jennings heard the | Quick tramp of old Sykes' feet outside, He put forth all his strength to throw i the other to the floor. But he lost his | grasp and the jimmy, raised, descend- ed with fearful force upon his skull. The last thing Jennings remembered | was seeing Sykee at the door, a pistol the blow and ’ was the discharge of the weapon. | When he opened his eyes, to find himselt in his bed at home, and his wife Dbeside him, Jennings' first | thought was of the affray. { “They got him? he demanded | feebly. | A tall man rose from the other side the bed.
