THE BUYING PRICE.
BY E. 0. JAMES.
: TTETTTTTTTF9

When Harold McGeary lost his
clerkship in Brandt's furniture store,
the town Of Laurel Grove enjoyed the
proverbial nine daysrwonder as to the
cause. In a town OF two thousand
people a position in such a store as
Mr. Brandts is considered fortunate
for bright young man like Harold
McGeary. Naturally, merchant OF
Mr.. Brandt's standing was not given
to public speaking about business
secrets, but somehow Laurel Grove
felt that Harold's excess OF bright
ness" had caused his discharge Mr..
Brandt could easily have confirmed
this rumor with some interesting de-
tails.
The young man had been quick at
learning the details of the business,
had taken an interest in values, and
had asked intelligent questions to a
degree that caused his employer to
think him n wonder of business sagac-
tty.
But all Laurel Grove knew the Me-
Geary family for the most confirmed
of innocent" gossip-venders. Let us
not use a harsher term. They were
too kind-hearted to love scandal, they
meant no harm. but the delight of
knowing and telling other peoples
secrets was to them as intoxicating as
strong wine.
What harm could there be in Mrs,
McGeary's telling the ladies of the
Wednesday Club that the Martins
were denied further credit at
Brandt's? Or in Della McGeary's
revealing-in strict secrecy--to ten
different persons the amount which
the new doctor and his bride owed for
house furnishings? Or in the know
ing public speculations of Daniel Nc
Geary, head of the family, as to Mr..
Brandt's income and his standing
with the wholesalers? Or in the con-
scious pride of the other McGearys,
as shown, for instance, by Eudora's
remarks about the price Of the high
school library furniture, or by the
lavish distribution Of yardsticks by
Evadne, agen ten, and Bryan, aged
twelve, cause our brother works at
Brandt's?"
But when Mr.. Brandt learned that
Bryan had proudly displayed to his
young compeers a card lettered with
certain mystic symbols, then it was
that Harold was quietly discharged.
The card ran thus:
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1908-06-20

and Bryan's talk was all of marked
price, selling price" and discount.
1t was merely Mr.. Brandt's price
mark code, in which each letter of the
word stood for a corresponding figure,
enabling him or his clerk to tell at a
glance the margin between the cost
price and selling price of an article.

There was a small band of three hun
dred cavalry in the Theban army who
proved a great terror to any enemy with
whom they were called to fight. They were
companions who had bound themselves to-
gether by a vow Of perpetual friendship
determining to stand together until the
last drop of blood was spilled upon the
ground. They were called 1.-The Sacred
Battalion" or 1.-THE Band of Lovers" and
they were bound alike by affection for the
state and fidelity to each other, and thus
achieved wonders. If the church MEM
bers would hut remember that they are
together, there would be more victories
for the right. less faltering before the
enemy. less breaking of ranks in times of
distress. We need to make every member
of our church our special friend in more
than ordinary bond. for has not the same
Savior suffered and died for us all?
