It wasn't the girls good looks or am
bition that secured her a place after
meeting with many failures. She hap
pened into the brokerage Office of
Sweet & Son just as one OF their four
or five typewriters had tainted away
and had TO be sent home. at the end
Of the week her place was made perma-
nent and the austere and dignifed Mr..
Joseph Sweet astonished his good look
ing twenty-hye-year-old son by saying.
Tom, / think Miss Graham a tribe

begun"
When he saw that Tom was casting
Sleeps eyes in the direction Of the lat
est arrival he remarked.
Thomas l hope you won't encourage
Miss Graham to engage in converse
ton with you. She is an employee, you
know"
But a lady from head to heel, IA.

pen.
1T Is possible, Thomas it is posi-
BILE; but all female employees are ladies'
nowadays. | really think, my boy, that
you ought to administer a snub to
keep her in checkr
Tom took day to think the matter
over and then administered the snub
by asking Miss Graham to lunch with
him. The senior Mr. Sweet happened
to see them together on the street,
Tom had refused to snub and he de-
eided to do it himself. That very aft
ernoon he took advantage Of an oppor-
tunity to say:
Miss Graham, ] am so well satisfied
with your work that / shall advance
your salary | think / have heard
some Of them say that there is a clean,
cheap restaurant around the corner.
and l suggest that you lunch there In
the future"
Tom renewed the invitation after a
day or two, but 1t was not again ac-
cepted He could not make out just
what was wrong until the father ex-
planned.
Thomas, I attended TO that little
matter myself a few days
ago, and you may have observed that
Miss Graham seems to have prodted by
It. Please don't forget your dignity
again"

It was the first time In her life that
Helen Graham had been snubbed. She
decided that she would pay it back
with interest il the opportunity was
ever afforded. 1t came with surprising
swiftness. A week hardly passed wi q
the senior partner entered the Office
with anxious face and sat down beside
his son to say;
tom, / have a confession to make.

ing Sun mine to find that my interest

and it controls the water privilege,
Here are the names of several parties
who may be possessed Of shares In
the Red Dog Call In Miss Graham
and dictate letters to them at once, If
you please"
Miss Graham was called, and Tom
had not dictated twenty words when
her heart gave a sudden bound. The
Red Dog mine had been one OF the
chief causes OF her fathers financial
ruin. Among his papers she had found
certificates Of stock to the value Of
half a million dollars. She couldn't
tell why Mr.. Joseph Sweet was so
anxious to pick up this stock, but she
would bide her time. At the end Of
the week she querled Of the junior
partner
How much Red Dog stock is want
ed to control mattersy
''Half million at least, but so far
we can locate only about S250000
worth"
Five minutes later the junior was
saying to the senior:
Look here, father. I'm sorry you
felt It your duty to snub Miss Gra-
ham She can lay her hand on half a
million dollars worth Of Red Dog"
Miss Graham was sent for. She was
not at all frustrated.
Miss Graham, he started OFF, Ifs IT
true that you know where 1 can Sc
cure half million Of the stock of the
Red Dog mine y
1T is quite true" she quietly re-.

dignity.
