Osborne raised his right hand. with
a quaint, peculiar gesture.
'If you want me to lend you some,"
he said, 81 tell you frankly that | won't
do it. / like you first rate. | believe

such an excellent product of nature.
Read the riot act to Sunderland. and if
he doesn't dispense and lay down his
arms then go and read it to somebody
else"
Haven rose somewhat %unsteadily and
took up his hat from the table.
Il thank you,' he said, "for your ad-
vice." with just a bit Of emphasis on
the last word. Good afternoon"
He went back to the office of the
magazine. Sunderland had gone for
the day. Haven paused in the outer
doorway and was presently accosted
by a truly wise young man who was
connected with a large advertising
agency. He had taken a fancy to Ha.
ven, and that was why he broke a very

ture. Those fell

COURSE"
There was an accent Of contempt in
his tone as he jerked his thumb toward
the mere mechanical individuals who
were sordidly thrusting greenbacks in
to their pockets.
II haven't drawn a full salary in
eight weeks" said Haven, with a
groan, '.and I'm down to the hole in the
bottom of my pocket--down through it
into my trousers leg, by jingo!"
"Is it sop replied Sunderland, laugh
ing in a confidential fashion. "Too
much brain, too much brain! You liter
airy people never know how to make
money count. But, between ourselves,
I'm in a good deal the same fix myself.
However, that doesn't matter. Wen

Ravens nominal wage was $50 per
week, and he had a considerable bal
ance in his favor on the books, but he
had learned the futility of arguing with
Sunderland.
81 suppose So" he said.
The business manager slapped him
cordially on the shoulder, and in SO do
ing gently turned him around so that
he faced the door.
Cali right, my boy" said he in the
most friendly fashion. "I'll see that
you get it tomorrow"
Haven, with his hands in his pockets,
clutching cold keys and a lucky piece
that was a counterfeit in lead, remain
ed dazed for some seconds, and when
he turned about Sunderland was deep

"ShOW It any
how!!' cried Osborne. Nobody can
take away your Independence. That's
the gift Of God, and it belongs to you.
IF Sunderland wants you, he'll find
some way to pay you, or if he can't
there are others who will. So long as
you have something that the world
wants you car get a price for it. But
don't labor under the delusion that
Sunderland and his magazine are the
world"
PRECISELY" said Haven in a weak,
high pitched voice quite different from

Cy tudI Idly Ou Tie ldDlO. watch
The sight emphasized his
need, and when Osborne put the money
into his pocket Haven felt an absurd
sense Of loss.
"Mr. OSBORNE" he said, s'I'm in a
peck Of trouble. I am a man hanging
on to the tail Of a bear. I want some
body to help me let 60"
Then he proceeded to describe the sit
uation Of affairs on the magazine.
II can neither stay there nor quit"
he said in conclusion, "for I haven't a
penny. / haven't even the price Of q
luncheon"
Osborne laughed. It seemed to Ha-
ven an unkind thing to do. He said to
himself that he hadn't made his case
strong enough. He went over it again
and added a few more troubles, where
at Osborne laughed again heartily and
him. But, suddenly observing the aw-
full gloom that shrouded his visitors
cOuntenance, he checked his laughter
and said earnestly:
"My boy, you don't know what trou-
BILE is, and you'll never be good for any
thing until you do"
Haven was angry. 1t seemed easy
for a man without a care to talk in this
strain. The value Of trouble as an ar
chitect Of character is easy to see from
the outside Of the structure.
Il think you scarcely appreciate the
difficulty" he said in an injured tone
Of voice. II can't move. I'm tied hand
and foot"
"You must move" said Osborne.
"That Is what we are here for-action.

nj was salary day, and Paul Haven
was waiting a the cashiers
window while some of the chief
men connected with the mechanic
al departments of the magazine
were drawing their pay. Haven was
the editor, a position which had highly
gratifed his young ambition when he
had obtained it, about six months be-
fore the date of this narrative.
The business manager, Mr.. Sunder-
land, beckoned from the door of his Of
flee, and Haven walked in that direc-
ton, but his eye was on the money
window, and his air was that of a
dog that is being drawn away from a
bone.
'This is a great number" said Sun
derland, taking up a copy of the last

$500 1--WE got to raise some
money somewhere" he
said, speaking aloud with the intensity
of his thought. where. in the name
of all the gods?"
He had not been long In the city. His
acquaintance were few outside the cir
Gle Of contributors to the magazines
pages or waste paper basket. These
persons, for a hundred reasons, begin
ming with the item that they had no
money, were entirely out Of the ques-
tion in the present emergency.
Haven had pawned rs watch to buy
an overcoat in the days when he had
first hoped for the editorship of the
magazine, urged by an unreasonable
cold wave and the necessity Of Impress
ing Mr.. Sunderland. Later. when sal
airy day became a movable feast"
several other articles of price had fol-
lowed the watch into hat pOurn from
which it is SO hard for anything to re-
turn. There vas al old fashioned ring,
ger, but there was also a girl in Phiia-
uelpnla VINO q given MN tnaC ring
in exchange for one of his.
"When l starve in the gutter" said
the editor, clasping the ring with a
firm grip, "this shall be found just
where it is now"
AT that instant his subconscious
mind sent up the idea of George Os-
borne as if it had been a card on a sal
Ner. The subconscious mind always at
tends to business. 1t is not led away
by sentimental considerations. 1t comes
up to the surface from time to time to
take note of the situation and then re-
tires into it's OWL secret place to rumi-
nate upon the essential thing. We may

himself had evidently been
engaged upon some writing
In that field Of thought.
He greeted Haven with
the frankest cordially, very
encouraging and yet humil-
iating, for this granting of
equality made the young
mans errand seem the
meaner and the cheaper.
Haven hesitated, and. then
his eye fell upon some mon

hint in the matter of borrowing money.
Osborne was in the publishing. bust
ness, a man of comfortable means and
a we'll regulated life. He had bought
several short stories from Haven be-
fore the latter had taken the editorship
of the magazine and had expressed a
hearty appreciation of the young mans
ability.
But Haven didn't wish to borrow
money Of Osborne. In the deepest parts
Of his mind he knew better. More SUI
perficially, he was aware that such a
proceeding would be a bad Introduction
to a business scheme of some magni-
tude which he desired to propose to Os-
borne when it should be thoroughly
worked Up in his own intellect.
If he had not been SO burdened with
troubles, the perfecting Of this scheme
would have been, in Ravens opinion,
an easy matter; but he had worried so
much about his phantom salary and his
too real expenses that it had seemed
impossible for him to pull his mind to-
gether. Moreover, he was anxious on
account of the young lady already men,
toned. She and her mother were liv-
ing upon a small income. which from
certain causes was in danger of being
reduced. Haven opened every letter
from his sweetheart with fear and
trembling, thinking that it would give
him the news that the blow which
he was wholly unable to parry had
really fallen. There was no reason to
dread actual calamity; they would still
have enough to carry them along until
he should be able to take the burden of
their needs upon his willing shoulders.
Still the prospect of any sorrow for
Lottie Palmer was misery for Haven.
The young man was much embar-
raised when he was ushered into MI.
Osborne's Office, and he was perhaps
the worse for an empty stomach. The
publisher, a squarely built. hale and
ruddy man Of fifty years, sat by a

had lodged in through
the other door. The
young man walked out
Of the Office without say
ing a word.
1t was the luncheon
hour, and Haven became
Immediately conscious
of that preposterous,
gnawing appetite which
always assails a man
who has not the where
