Mr. WOolwine in this short story, which
has been eked out to the proportions of

SIMEON TETLOW's SHADOW. BY
Jennette Lee, author of 'Uncle Will

Company.
Many a man Of large affairs owes his
success in great measure to his secretary,
finding in him not merely a resourceful
assistant in the handling of details, but
also an Inspiration ard mental guide, even
spiritual aid. Such man was John
Bennett. Simeon fellows shadow" let
low at the head of an important railroad
system, was rapidly succumbing to his
overtaxed nerves. when one day there
entered in response to his summons a
placid-faced callboy. who stood unnoticed
for ten minutes without making his pres
ence felt. This was Benefits Introduction,
and the beginning not only Of his own
good fortune. but that of Simeon Tetlow.
These two made a perfect team Tetlow
with his resistless energy and his ire
his camness and his insight Mrs. Lees
presentation Of these two chara cters con-
stitutes one OF the most vivid and appeal
ing stories Of human interest offered in
several seasons. The devotion of Bennett
to his chief but best of ali to his invalid
mother, amounts to positive genius for
service. Here is man who as cheerfully
washes the dishes at home to save his
mother anxiety and labor as he investi
gates the circumstances Of a wreck to
prevent injustice to the corporation en-
ploying him. The absolute honesty of
the man is his StOutest armor against all
dangers and temptations. Simeon Tet-
lows Shadow is book worthy to be
read by every young man who Is called
into the world of affairs. 1t glorifies work
and duty.
