He walked back 10 his desk. Pretty soon
they called him in again, and the president
made little speech. He said the lesson
had been an unpleasant one but they were
disposed TO take it in the spirit in which it
was given. Perhaps he was right They
had no desire TO punish him, but-here he
hesitated and stammerec a little-they were
also unwilling. that Is to say, they had no
desire 70 keep financier OF his capacity in
the humble place in which he had hitherto
been employed. Therefore, one Of their
number, Mr. wilkins. who was the agent
Of an insurance company, at salary Of
four thousand dollars a year had decided
to resign that ION, and would have Mr.
Smith appoint, successor. Meanwhile
Mr. Smith could take a vacation of two
weeks. Pittsburgh Times.
