You are requested to draw two week,

you are acquainted seek another position
P.V. KNIcIEI,
President Droyers' Bank
Philadelphia, Dec. IL. 1887.
How many times John Jones
had read this note he could
hardlS have told. Reasons
wiz >Mhich | trust you are ac
quaintcd." He the cashier oil
the Drovcrs' bank. dismissed
for reasons with which he was
acquainted. What did he
mean? What were the rea,
sons, and why was he suppos.
ed to be acquainted with them:
These were some Of the ques.
tons he was putting to him,
self as he sat in his room al,
most stupefied.
He did not fear inability to
procure another situation. John
ones was too well known and
had been faithful in his servi
ces at his bank to fear that
But why was he dismissed?
Well, he couldn't find out
until the next day. unless. tc
be sure, he called upon Mr.
Knickcr at his home, and that
John couldn't do in the state
of mind he was in just then.
The feeling Of injured limo
cence is not altogether un.
pleasant after all, and John
finally dispersed the constant
lyrecurring questions and pre-.
pared to go out. He would
go and see Beth, his Beth, and
he would decide what to do.
John Jones had been sick
all day. A blind headache
had begun to bother him be.
fore he had left the bank the
day before, and had grown
constantly worse all that night,
until when morning came he
was unable to go to his bust
ness. The headache was for.
gotten now; occasionally a
throb of pain would make him
vince ply sically, but his
thoughts were too thoroughly
occupied with that unaccount,
able note to realize the pain,
He soon left the house and
decided to walk up Chestnut
street and thence to see Beth.
He saw no one, did not even
feel excrtion Of walking until
he brought up with a bang
against a gentleman who was
going in the opposite direction.
He mechanically apologizcd
and started on. but soon did
the same thing again, and saw
he was unable to think about
the present even unough to
dodge his fellow pedestrians.
He called a cab and gave the
driver orders to take him to
Beth's home. Before he rea-
lized that they had started he
was aroused by the sudden
pulling up of the vehicle, and
the man. clambering down
from his seat, opened the door
and stood waiting for him to
get out. He did so, and start
ed up to ring the bell when
the driver called after him. He
had forgotten the mans fee.
He paid him, and pulled the
bell.
The door opened and he
passed in, not speaking to the
servant who admitted him.
