No, I haven't dared to e bope that,” answered the doctor. “I have simply come to see a patient.” Silently the girl opened the house loor and the doctor ascended the stairs until he came to the room in which his son was lying, racked with fever-and delirious, upon & bed. “He must be moved at once,” said the doctor. “I am going to take him away to the hospital in my automo- bile.” i It was all he could nerve himself to do to utter the words, for a son, even though lost for years, is still a son— at least, to most of us. Wrapped in rugs the patient was transferred to the automobile, which made its way at a slow pace into the suburban district where the doctor lived The story that Mildred told was & painful one. For years her husband had been working for the company; he had started at the bottom and was just getting a fair salary when he was attacked by a. mysterious disease. After a month’s absence he had lost his position; that was two months ago, and the disease. which no doctor could diagnose, had made inroads upon his system until his life seemed about ended. “But this isn't the way to the hos- pitall” she exclaimed, as the machine turned mto a pretty lane and stopped before a comfortable-looking house. |t “It 18 my house—my private hos- 2 pital,” answered the doctor. | And half an hour later Harold was comfortable in bed and feebly conm- Step into her father's shoes. scious.

Before Tom Graves had been in‘the | teller's cage twenty-four hours he re- alized that something was wrong with Van Loeuw’s methods. On the sec- ond day he was sure of it. Van Loeuw and he had entered the bank within a week of each other. Van Loeuw was & college graduate, while Tom was only the scn of a coun- try storekeeper. That ought not to make any difference worth noticing in America, but everyone knows it does. especially in large country towns like Roxbury. It made this difference in particu- lar: Van Loeuw was privileged to call on Mildred Leeson, the president’s daughter, to dine at her house and take her driving in the automobile he owned. Whereas, Tom Graves, who had, in his boyhood, often served Miss Mildred behind the counter of his fa- ther's stare, could scarcely gather up his courage to look like an ordinary man when she bowed to him in the street; and then, seeing his confusion, Mildred would smile again, in a kind- ly way, which Tam usually missed, be- cause his eyes were on the ground. Everybody said that Tom was of he kind that are born to be drudges nd to work for men like Van Loeuw. Van Loeuw mnever doubted that he was destined to marry Mildred and He told i That was when conceal the love that came into his | But Tom did not think of that. He heart.
