of my talk with Mr. Wheat. She heard
it, in spite of the baby's renewed cry

assented, .'Um hum" as though she
did not know she was crying. When l
finished she made me feel like great

without fiinching the removal Of my
things from O'Mara's old desk and the

in the next room. I bore that bravely,
because my heart was confident IN its

AT the mere sight of Annie, however,
my courage oozed away.
She was waiting for me in the door

Yet before reached the house Annie

But if all the other offenders are to be

The chief clasped his hands behind his
head and leaned slowly back in his
chair. At the end Of that operation he
said indulgertly:
we are not considering every man
Of conspicuous position in the depart

When that had soaked in he went on :
I'VE could not escape considering

In that strain we talked until long af-
ter midnight, forgetting our dinner I'M
til o'clock, and going to bed at last
only that we could be at work early the
rext day. We were expressing for the
6rst time the accumulated indignation
of five years. And the sights and inN
justice of five years IN one of the
executive departments can rouse the
Heart to a bitter protest indeed, when
once it breaks lose. 1 went over my
purposes in entering the service-my air
castle of earning my way to the At
tCrney Generalship: my ambition TO
achieve one promotion every year for
merit; my faith that I could rise to
post of responsibility and dignity by
serving the Government Loyalty. We
both recounted my experimentation my
first promotion had come IN order to get
me out OF the way; and my second in
lieu of the credit for compiling the
laws; how insuborGinates and incompe-
tents We're promoted all about me; how
the examination for promotion defeated
it's own purpose; how my superiors.
even when my friends, found themselves
unable, for merit alone, to reward my
work whistle salary they said it de-
! served; and, row, how the application
oe the law had been specialized in or
der to punish me While scores of other
offenders were unScathed
Evidently we had both thought on
these things In silence for many years
We agreed that L had given the sys-
ten a fair trial l had not been easily
discouraged. In the face of all these
rcverses l had continued to work as
capably and as indus1riously as I could
ever have worked for myself. And yet
l had not succeeded.
Is it any wonder that we both loathed
the service? Is it any wonder that we
were both ready to make any sacrifice,
almost, to escape it? Is it any wonder
that we agreed that night to strike out
and be rid of it, If it WAS not too late?
