Mr.. Currier is good for anything he
orders" he said to the man in charge;
lone of my old customers. This is Mr..
Bryan, Mr.. Currier. He will take good
care of you. and stand for you Just
the same as would. The fact is, have
sold out. I've just turned over the out
fit to Bryan. By the way, isn't Mr..
Sturtevant friend of yours?"
l nodded. l couldn't have spoken if
l had tried.
"Well." continued the ex-"night owl"
man, 'he came here one night, about
a month ago and told me the most
wonderful story l ever heard. I've Just
bought a place on Eighth Avenue.
where l am going to run a regular
restaurant-near Twenty-third street.
Come and see me-"
Again the Wonderful Story.
/ started to walk homeward, finger
ing the solitary nickel in my pocket
and contemplating the certainty of rid.
ing down town in the morning. When
l reached Union Square, examined
my address book for the home of
Sturtevant, but it was not recorded.
Then l remembered the cafe in Univer-
sity place, and, although the hour was
late, it occurred to me that he might be
there.
He was. In far corner Of the room,
surrounded by a group of acQuaint-
ances. l saw him. He discovered me at
the same instant and motioned to me
to join them. There was no chance for
the story, however. Half a dozen men
were around the table and l was the
farthest removed from Sturtevant.
Its too bad, Mr.. Currier." remarked
one Of the party; you should have
come a little sooner Sturtevant has
been telling US a story, 1t Is quite
wonderful. really. l say, Sturtevant,
won't you tell that again, for the bene-
fit Of Mr.. Currier?"
"Why. yes. believe that Currier has,
somehow failed TO hear the magic story,
although | think he was the first one
to whom mentioned it at all. Sit down
here and you shall have it
We were interrupted at that instant,
by uniformed messenger who handed
Sturtevant telegram. 1t was from his
chief, demanding his instant attend
ance at the Office.
TOO bad" said Sturtevant, rising
and extending his hand. Tell you what
I'll do. old chap. I'm not likely to be
gone any more than an hour or two.
You take my key and wait for me in
my room. In the escritoire near the
window you will find an old scrap
book. bound in rawhide. Read that and
wait for me until | return"
Reading the Story at Last.
With that he went out, and l lost
no time in taking advantage Of the per.
mission he had given me.
l found the book without difficulty.
1t was a quaint. homemade affair. |
found the story curiously printed. 1t
was quaint and strange.

(Note-The Magic Story as related
Is not magic. but while an intensely In
terestiug narrative Of Success" is
simply one Of the most comprehensive
and uplifting pieces Of advice ever
presented to struggling mankind. 1t
breathes action and determination to
succeed-a living example Of the words
of the indomitable Richelieu, that there
Is no such word as fail. President
Roosevelt's strenuous Life" was dis
counted In this story hundred years.
II awakens enthusiasm, II urges and
compels. 1t is, too, most enchanting
tale.)
