trouble in connection with the SIS already
received. Todo him justice, he really wished
to resign. He was not, at bottom, the sort Of
man that melodramatic villains are made of.
Conditions, which he had been too weak and
near-sighted to resist, had made him a CRATER,
a liar, braggart, thief, an irresponsible
.rcsie. In his business, and with his oppor-
tunities, it was as hard for him to be anything

He bowed again, while Miss Hildreth
graciously expressed her thanks. And then,
with that last lie on his lips and a vast salts

"A big large one" replied the German,
with patelnal grin. "Ughl The way

his fTendlness questioned. "Why, me and
Iiwriy worked together when be wasn't knee

He continued to enlarge upon his friendli-
ness with the young manager, the German
nodding frequent appreciation. Leonard
came in while they were talking.
He shook hands with Mr.. Boggs rather
coldly, considering the friendship which that
gentleman had been protesting, and escorted
him back to the Agency's desk As Mr..
Boggs sank into neighboring chair, his coun-
tenance and posture expressed extreme de-
lection He had carefully thought out the
part he should play, and he played it well.
He explained that he was getting old, that he
had been discharged by Hallowell, and that
the other agencies were looking for younger
men, and ended by offering to work on
commission.
Jimmy was placed in the uncomfortable
position, commencement withevery successful

an unlucky associate Of other days or to en-
ploy an inefficient assistant. II was his first
experience Of the kind; and he did what al
most any young business man would have

ccptcd the alternative OF hiring an inefficient
assistant.

The results somewhat surprised him.
Mr. Boggs was known among advertising
managers as slow-going, conservatyesolici-
tor; bit too conservative and slow going
in fact The combination Of his conserva-
tism with the Leonard Agcncy's radcalism
of hisexperieme with the Agency's youth, did
much to give advertisers confidence in the
venture.
