SALARY RAISE HIS VNDOINC

In one of the Broadway hotels
much frequented by mercantile trav-
elers, knot of drummers were seated
at gossip Of the trade after dinner.
What has become Of Johnes?" asked
one. Haven't you heard about h1m?*'
replied the man addressed. Have
you not heard of his rise and down
fall? Well, it was this way.
you all know Johnes was the best
seller Smithson & Co. had. Donald C
Rathbone offered him bigger salary
if he would come with them, and he
succumbed. Johnes was foxy and de-
manded written contract for five
years, which they gave him. 1t was
$4,000 year-and expenses. Well,
the first trip Johnes made he ran up
against hard luck. Everything seem
ed to go against him. When he got
back he was ashamed to show up at
the Office. He had not made his sal
ary, let alone his expenses. But, to
his great surprise and qualification,
his employers greeted him rapturous-
ly. We know how things go some
times, Mr.. Johnes,' they said, but nev-
er mind, we are perfectly satisfied
with your work And they sent him
on a trip down South.
! THAT trip was worse than the first,
When he got back he went into the

Flesh and Blood.

"Every now and then" he remarked
from his tilted chair behind the cold
stove in the livery stable office, "some-
body comes to me and tells me that the
automobile will drive the horse to the
wall as sure as shooting, and l pity
him. l pity him because he knows SO
little about human nature. Ihe
horse'll be driven out by automobiles
about the time that babies are driven
out by sawdust dolls, and not much
before.
"Do you remember two or three
weeks ago when Sadie Mac had to quit
for good in the Charter Oak stake at
Hartford? Reeled and laid down like
a tired child, as one writer put it. Peo-
pie were sorry from Maine to Califor-
MIA. Every paper had an obituary on
her. and some gave her editorials.
Wreck n racing car. the fastest ever
built. and how many mourners would
there be? The owner, maybe, II he
escaped with bis life. Yet Sadie Mac
was only an understood ma@-doing
her best and. doing it better than any
thing that's trotted in her class this
year, it's true, but nothing more than
a mare. What's the difference? All the
difference in the world. The difference
between the living and the dead; be-
tween the game, resolute, do-or-die
spirit that compels admiration and the
inAnimate machine that doesn't. TAKE
n clock that has stopped forever. even
a faithful clock, and you can't wiring
tear out of the children with force
pump. but they'll cry as If their hearts
were broken over a white mouse or
pet kitten or st. Bernard that's
passed on to the animal heaven. The
steam engine and the trolley haven't
mlt horses out Of commission and the
automobile won't; still, l hope for their
sake that it'll take few Of them out
of the hands of the brutal and ignor-
ant who don't know how to use them"

"But IL you would only 60 to your

She kissed his hand.
WAS ever a woman more beauti-
ful?" he cried. and showered his ten
derness upon her. 4 thought of Hilary
soon came, however. to cut these dem
onstrations short. He gave his be.
trothal a final embrace. and urged her
to complete her preparations for re.
turning with Miss Aspinwall. Jenny
hastened to do his bidding, and ers
long both found themselves in the car
riage with Hilary, who was much
gratified at the success Of Mr.. De
graw's undertaking.
AS Mr.. Degraw had promised not to
return TO his studio. he remained with
the ladies till eleven o'clock Then he
left for the depot. but before he said
Goodbye" Jenny drew him aside
and whispered:
"You will think I do not trust yOu

for the loan of your studio key till your

there, shall know that our love is
safe. and our wedding-day at hand
Can you understand such nonsense?'
And he. thinking that she meditated
some surprise for him. gave her the
key, and never suspected that in the
trembling of the small white hand
which took it. he saw the evidences OF
relief. such as the prisoner expert
enccs when he receives the cOmmuta.

Office prepared for roasting. Before
he could say word the head OF the
firm said, MY dear Mr.. Johnes, we are
delighted with the energy you have
shown. 1t is true the returns have
not been great, but we appreciate
what you have done. AS reward for
your industry we intend to raise your
salary $500 year. Hereafter you win
be paid weekly at that rate. Good
day
"Johnes nearly tainted and pinched
himself when he got outside the Of.
fee. At the end of the week Johnes
drew his salary, which was computed
a. the new rate, and signed the usual
receipt. A few days later he received
letter from the firm saying his ser
vices were no longer required. Johnes
was thunderstruck. He hurried to
the office, fiourshed his contract and
demanded an explanation.
your contract is no longer valid
said the head of the firm, blandly.
You broke it by accepting an In
crease of salary. Good day
"Johnes is temporarily out OF the
business. He wants now to know
whether that is good law or not. Is
it?'
None of the assembled commercial
travellers could tell him.

CHAPTER XLIII.
FATE TRIUMPHANT.

1t had been decided during the hour
Mr.. Degraw had spent with these la
dies that if lie found his mother well
and submissive to his wishes, that the
marriage should take place immediate
ly upon his return. AS he expected to
be back by Thursday noon. this would
leave them little over two days In
which to prepare the minds of their
friends for the event, and to make
such arrangements for the quiet cere-
mony they contemplated, as would pre-
vent undue gossip. and insure comfort
to the dainty and sensitive bride.
But Hilary was a power when her
faculties were fully aroused. She did
all. managed all. with cOnsummate tact
and Judgment. and though she could
not hope to save Jenny or the two
Dcgraws from criticism, she at least
managed to make II perfectly under
stood in their own circle, that 1t was
the ortist whom Miss Rogers was to
marry, and not his namesake from
Cleveland. to whom she had been re-
ported to be engaged.
Jenny. meanwhile. kept herself Sc
cluded. There was one task before
her. but that she kept for the last
moment.
At noon on Thursday a telegram
came from her absent lover, telling
her to expect him by three o'clock.
Hilary was out, but leaving the tele-
gram with Miss Aspinwalrs maid, she
dressed herself and went out. leaving
no word behind her, save that she cx-
pccted to be home before three.
She went direct to the building
which contained her lovers studio.
When she opened the door, three let
tcrs were lying on tho floor before her.
Lifting them with q trembling hand.
she glanced al their several post marks.
| They were all city letters. Tearing
them open one after the other, she
! looked at their contents. One only
| interested her If you read these words
rs she read them, you will see to what
/ a degree:
! "37 East ----- Street
"Mr. Hamilton Degraw.--Sir: This
afternoon, 1t was my fortune to pick
up, at the corner of Fourth avenue and
| Sixteenth street, an unsealed letter ad-
/ dressed simply to Mr.. Hamilton De
graw. AS it is name well known in
| this city, / was about to venture upon
taking it at once to your studio. when
a friend suggested that | should write
first and inquire if YOU had lost such a
letter. 1t is signed Jenny and seems
to be of Importance. IL 1t is your prop
