wbs, exclaimed Dinbury excitedly. 1t
1t IL incredible,
The Judge watched him keenly n he
took the new idea. Though Te1k.bury
bad known lis old friends nephew but
two or three dsys, he had taken fancy to
the boy.
Dinbury was about twenty-hy, a well
set up, broad shouldered fellow, with a
fresh, unllntd face which made him look
much younger than he was. He had well
shaped head, with s.esdy, deep set eyes
and square Jaw.
By the way, said the Judge presently,
have you seen the evening pspers' Nof
Brig them to NJ. Danbury, willism, be
told the butler.
The yourg mans face was an amusing
study OF amsz ment as he read the vivid
accounts Of his arrival, his past life ard his
future plans.
Why, see here he exclaimed Here's q
paper never heard Of before with the
story Of my life written by myself, and an
other prints a picture Of me that's cross
between our bank president at home and
three dollar shoe man
You ought to have q secretary, said the
Judge, apropos to nothing at all. Young
men who have lived In an atmosphere OF
wealth but are Themselves poor are often
most helpful to newly made millionairca.
A tecretaryf said Danbury, who Of
course didn't understand. Why, Judge,
should feel like fool ordering man
about Besides, there's nothirg for him to
do,
Oh, there'll be plenty Of work, said the
old lawyer. There's your mail, and there
are the reports to consider. That reminds
me, promised Wilson would fnd lin
secretary.
When shall really come into that money
Judgs!
It will take US six weeks or two months
to settle everything, should think. But
shall be glad to let you have all the money
you want, my boy.
Thank you, sir, replied Dlnburv, but ]
was thinking will you give me a letter to
Nr. Wilson? I'd like to apply for that pos
ition as secretary.
You would? exclaimed the Judge. What

Well, ca "a travel very far, because you
sill need me to sign papers now and sgaiD
don't want to be entirely idle for two
months, ard don't want to 20 back to
