on the twelfth floor OF the Singer Build
ing advertised for an office boy. A small
army was waiting when the manager ar
rived next morning.
After putting them through an exam
ination as to their knowledge Of streets
and places in New York, the manager
selected on probation an Exceptionally
bright little chap from Brooklyn named
Harry Jordan and dismissed the rest. A
few minutes later Harry was given his
first errand-to go to the post office and
buy a dollars worth Of stamps. The mana
ger, who was suffering from an liberated
tooth, retired to his private office to
nurse a badly swollen Jaw.
When Harry had been gone half an hour
the manager began to wonder what was
keeping him. At the end of an hour he
was satisfied that he had made a mistake
in trusting a strange lad with money, and
by l o'clock he was certain that he should
never see boy or dollar again.
Just then, Harry pushed open the door,
painting and red in the face. The moment
his eyes rested on his new employer he
gave a sigh Of relief and collapsed In a
chair.
Where on earth have you beenf" de-
manded the manager.
Il was afraid I'd lost you," said Harry
as soon as he had recovered his wind.
