liner. They had come to see him start
for Europe. The last they saw OF him
that morning Smith was waving his
handkerchief to them from the vessels
side. And all the while he smiled in
the happiest manner imaginable.
When the steamship had passed down
the Earrows and got out near Sandy
Hook a pilotboat came flying up to her
side. The steamship slackered speed,
the pilotboat ran close under the side,
and Smith was lowered to the deck of
the pilotboat. where his friend greeted
him warmly. An hour later and Smith
was ashore at Sandy Hook. From there
he made his way to the Atlantic High
lands, where, at a modest little hotel,
he engaged room for month.
It was week later that the banker
was one night asked in casual way by
his daughter as to the whereabouts OF
Mr.. Smith.
"Why, bless me-" he replied; 81 for
got to tell you, didn't l? Smith has gone
to Europe. wish he had remained at
home, because l miss him very much"
When Miss Brown had been informed
as to young Smiths whereabouts, she
was displeased. She did not really
think he could go off in that fashion,
with just calm and formal goodby, she
told herself. The more she thought of
it the less she liked it. When three
weeks had gone by she was quite sure
she had never meant to say ''no" to
Smith when he asked her to marry him.
eff he'd only come back" she would
say to herself. 81 never knew how much
cared for him until he went away"
One evening her father came in and
said:
'Well, Smith will be back tomorrow
and I'm glad of it. The business hasn't
been run SO smoothly since he went
away"
From her father Miss Brown learned
that the private secretary was expected
in on one of the French steamships, and
that most Of the clerks in the banking
house were going to the dock to meet
him.
The French steamship which came up
past Sandy Hook that morning was
slowed down long enough to take aboard
pilot. And with the pilot came aboard
another gentleman who, the pilot said,
was a friend Of his. The other was
Smith, who had only that morning left
the small hotel at which he had been
staying and got aboard the pilotboat.
He was attired in the costume usually
affected by tourists. He had grown
stouter and become bronzed during his
stay at the Highlands.
When Smith had been greeted by his
friends in the Office the senior member
Of the firm invited him to dinner. He
marked, and with approval, that Smith
seemed more anxious to talk about bust
ness than the places he had visited in
Europe.
They had reached the house, and
Smith was passing toward the library,
when he suddenly came face to face
with Miss Brown.
ooh, Gus-Mr. Smith," said she,
startled for the moment into betraying
herself, "Tm so glad that you have
come observation-disclosures papa has
missed you so much" she added. But
Mr.. Smith did not believe it was alto
gether on her fathers account she was
glad he had returned, and later in the
evening inquired more particularly into
the matter.
A short time afterward the signs on
the banking house were changed. There
after they read, Brown, Blue & Smith,

A City Where Americas Representative

All Americans who visit Glasgow are
proud of the American consulate in that
prosperous city. AT first view consul
late would seem a small matter to be
proud of, but it is saddening fact that
many American consulates in Europe
are shabby, dingy and poverty stricken.
The position in Glasgow is almost the
best, yet the salary is but $4,000 per
year, and in a prosperous season the fees
add to that no more than $4,000.
The building, however. is in one of the
incest neighborhoods in the city, at the
corner of Wellington and West Regent
