! EYER sorry, Mr.. smithers," he be
gan; yer rush, know, but boys
think have to quit"
What's the matter now" Smithcf:
called from behind his desk.
Boys think too hard work. They
think like to 90 to hop-helds, get more
money"
Smitbers in the midst Of column,
did not look up.
q think maybe stay little while for
! $I.75," he added, obviously
Not a cent more, dye hear!'
| Smithers roared, as coon as he had
reached his total. The cool-headel
man Of a few weeks before was now
the haggard, heavy.eyed victim Of
oyerwork, oyerworry, and the intolcr
able heat And as the shrewd TamaH
looked after his retreating figure, he
| wondered how much farther he might
dare to toy with his endurance.
rs Mr.. Smthers in?" clear, high
voice rang above the grulfer sounds,
and before the over wrought Smithers
had time TO smooth out his forehead
Or temper the voice gurgled, rushing
up to him; oh Mr.. Smithers, I've
been trying all morning to get you on
the telephone. | hope you feeling
very goOdnatured and neighborly
this morning for / want to ask a little
favor of you"
Smithcrs looked UP banlily, but
without noticing his wOc-begOnc APP
pearancc, the voice ratified on: I'D
Ike to borrow about 500 trays from

sprinkling-car our roads are getting
so frIghtfuly dusty, and a dozen OF
two cutting knives, you always have
such quantities on hand, and Why,
what in the world has happened? You
look as If you had reached the last
notch Of cnduranCc!'
Something near r., think, an
swcrcd SmIthers, with a salow smile,
THAT damn Tama--I beg your pardon,
Miss Smytho--that-'
"Oh, not at ALI" she interrupted,
you could send over some pickers
adjusting turquois stud in her blue
shirt waist, wed be so much Obliged.
We are getting along famously, don't
you know, ! think It's such fun to
run ranch, DO you have any trouble
in getting menu"
The scarcity Of men Is not so bad
as"
"Oh, yes, Of course the high, clear
tones remarked. isn't 1t perfect
shame? But do you know was
about to forget my main object IN
coming over such a tragic thing has
happened. My dear little Dandy. you
know he has always been used to the
park roads, has gotten something in
his foot, do you suppose you could
loan me a horse for n few days?'
Smithers made some sort of dumb
sign the lady was pleased to take for
an assent
"Oh, thank you so much, she
gushcd, you know we find the neigh.
