nod his head and smile happily. What
a wonderful little Optimist she was.
And then came the day of release
The manager called him into the inner
office.
Hopkins he said. here is check
covering commissions on your sales for
the past month
Hopkins took it and looked at it rath-
er stupidity.
Il didn't know 1 was on commissions

We'll. you are" said the manager
turning to his desk to show that the
matter was dismissed.
Hopkins was not thinking OF the
check as he walked out Of the office de

He quivered with an exultation that he
did not know how to express AS plain
Jimmy Hopkins he had won the game!
He began the journey homeward in
sort of dream. Now and then he thrust
his hand into his pocket to see If the
check was really there. He was trying
TO decide just how he would tell her
whether he would show her the magic
slip of paper and let her guess what 1t
meant, or whether he would run into
/ her presence shouting and waving his
hat. He entered the subway. stopped
for an instant to buy an evening paper,
and boarded a train. For some time he
sat staring with unseeing eyes atthe
print before him, his thoughts on the
/ girl who was soon to be told a wonder
/ fui thing. Then his eyes, which had
/ been mechanically following the head
/ lines, began to record an impression.
through successive repetitions, and he
found himself reading;

! At first Hopkins did not read the
story. He laid the paper on his knees
and looked vacantly across the car. Not
/ a muscle of his face moved. He sat like
an image, hearing and seeing nothing.
! Presently he took in a deep breath
shook himself a little. lifted the paper
and began to read calmly. He read IL
through to the end. 1t was not hard 70
understand. There was nothing left
! There wasn't going 10 be any glorious
surprise for the girl.
He left the subway and walked the
short block to the boarding house slow
! ", wondering what ne should say. The
paper hung loosely in his hand. AS he
passed an ash receptacle, he tossed il
in. He did not need to know any more
if he ever wanted the details, he could
get them from his lawyers.
She was in the dining room when he
entered. and he forced a smile as he an
Swered her bright little nod. Their en-
gagement was a secret they had con-
1ded to no one, and they even sat apaTt
at meals. He thought he detected 4
fash Of inquiry in her glance, for she
was quick to observe, and as he sal
down he felt that her eyes were follow
ing him, trying to read the meaning Of
what she saw. He ate his dinner ST
lently, thinking. He wondered how he
could ever tell her about ]. ThOrncroft

tell her until Some time she would
have to know, of course. He wondered

he was glad that he had never painted
a golden future to her. But did he have
a right 10 marry her now? Vaguely II

As the words left his lips a vision of

rose for an instant before him. 1t
Knocked him and put a feeling of fool

She nodded understandings rose
and they stTOlled down the street to a
little shop, where they reveled in zee
cream like children.
Hopkins began to work harder now,
partly because he was developing a
real interest in the hardware business
and party because he wanted TO earn
that fifteen. The vision of ]. Thorn
croft visited him less frequently. He
thought seldom of the days that
seemed now so long ago. Occasionally
he would chuckle as an automobile
rolled past or when. he encountered
some other reminder. for he was able
to observe these things without envy,
knowing that they were mis- when he
chose 10 have them. But it was really
satisfying just to be Jimmy Hopkins,
earning So a week and starting a
bank account. 1t was the only bank
account in which he had ever taken a
live interest. He watched it grow with

When Hopkins received another and
unexpected advance in the hardware
business the effect OF it was paradox
zeal. The manager discovered that the
young man in the stock department,

a knack Of getting along amazingly
well with customers. So he made him
