From Sae1etY to Trade.

Ei:s!.ages is the sGa "f rich ala !i=ass= yer nere. The rich old lawyer told his son a year ago that Ss did not want him to be out st night after half-past ten. One night the son, who was fond of sO- siety and of whom society was fond of. did not reach the big stone house of Highfyer pere until midnight. Old uighilyer put & nick in the post. but ssid nothing. By-and-bv it occurred again. This time young HighnFer was informed tha; a repetition of 4he Oifenss would be punished with banisbment withsnt psy. The next night the clock was striking F when young HighfiyCr walked softly up the veigety stairs. Oid HighhyeT met him at the top, witE watch in hand, and formally and sol- sIanly read his order of expulsion The young man slept his last sleep and ate his last breakfast in tha5 house with az parent calmness and eomPosure. and then walked out and down the broad steps, smoking his last cigarette. He repaired at once te a big dry goods sfors and obtained a position as sales man with little difficulty. He gotta roOgA and arranged for board. \ year has elapsed. Father and son are firm, and no communication has passed between them; probably none will as they ars determined characters The funny thing about it all is that the gay dam sels of society, for whose sake young Hfghfiyer sacrificed home and fortune, nos, cut hinn lead when they meet him en the streets. "He is in trade, you know" snd therefore damned socially here. < law student Is ali right, but & dry goods clerk isn't fl I were the youth, though, l wouldn't mind t.
