The ready smile, the bold NOrthwind, all sing

JOB HENDRICKS MAKES a CALL.
James Ellison was seated at his desk
in the library writing, now and then
stopping his work. with pen poised to
think, his eyes fixed on the bright gar
den that spread out beyond the win
dow. He was still a handsome man for
all his fifty years and grizzled hair and
mustaehe. Seated there quietly at his
desk, he had not the appearance of a
man who had lost his wife in such a
tragic manner but & few short days be-
FORE Apart from a certain nervousness
which manifested itself when he heard
unexpected sounds. he might have been
taken for a man who is at peace with
his fellows and the world. 1T was in
one of these pauses Of his work. while
his eyes rested on the garden beds
without. that a distinct cough close to
him caused him to turn swiftly around
In his chair with muttered exclama-
tion.
He found himself facing small man
In q brown suit, who stood in a respect
full attitude, twisting a shabby hat be-
tween his red fingers.

The stranger waved his hand in q
deprecating way and smiled.

yourself unnecessarily &
