replied:
Il know 1 have not always treated
you right. NJ. Serviet. I have been
hard, cruel at times"
do you remember how you took
my furniture
"Oh, yes, NJ Serviet"
And had it sold by public auc-
tion?"
Yes, that was in the good old
times" Rajon sighed.
Not to mention that you upset all
my marriage plans"
Il feel so sorry for it now. Upon
word of honor I do. NJ. Serviet. but a
man like you would never think of re-
venge when the other fellow is down. "
IT do not say"
Perhaps it was even your luck that
you had to go through all that Now
you hold fine position and can say
to yourself. when l was young, my
furniture was taken away from me and
sold, but now I am the vice president
of big insurance company"
Serviet smiled.
Here is a ten franc piece, Rajon, try
to make a fresh start"
II shall be thankful to you all my
life, NJ. Serviet.''
Serviet shook his hand and saw him
out. Then he sat down at his desk.
smoked eigarets and thought OF the
strange moods of fate.
A few weeks later Rajon came TO the
office once more. He had had a job as
salesman, but his employer was about
to go bankrupt and could pay no
wages Serviet Immediately understood.
He gave the man five francs and advis-
ed him to look for another situation.
cit is very hard on man of my age
to begin working for others. but there
Is nothing else for me to do. Why
should not you who have so many con-
nections, try to get a position for
me?"
Serviet promised to do what he could
and two days later he found Rajon
waiting forshim outside his office. He
wanted him TO come along to a cafe
and to get rid of him the vice presi-
dent had to give him Is francs, which
Rajon said he must have.
AS Serviet did not succeed in find
ing him position, Rajon made habit
of waiting outside the Office. Serviet
was greatly annoyed, but there was no
escape; several times he had to give
him and even send him 20 his own tai
lor to have an overcoat made
One day however, he picked up cour-
age enough to refuse to lend the usur-
err 10 francs.
Rajon was deeply hurt
"Of course, you may do as your con-
science tells you," he mumbled, but
remembering our former relations 1
did not expect"

he asked politely.

well paid official, had only one pain

When he happened to think Of the

Rajon had prosecuted him with incred-

him the short grace that the worst
usurers grant their clients. The name
Rajon was linked to all the most pain

cution followed by an auction, quar-
rel with his family and the rupture
with a very rich girl he was about to

LEHTo- RoLLER MATCH.
Wrestlers Will Meet at Duluth on No
vember 10.

Saturday. Nov. 10. has been defin-
itely agreed upon as the date of the big
wrestling match between Karl Lehto.

world, and the famous DR.. II. f. Roll
Ter, who has just returned from a
European tour. says the Duluth Her
aid.
The match will be the biggest wrest-
ling event ever pulled off i'm the North
west. Lehto has established a great
reputation within a comparatively short
time. His wonderful showing against
zbyszko in the copper country stamped
him out as one of the greatest mat
artists i'm the world, and this. too. in
face of the fact that the young Finn
was unheard of outside his immediate
circle of friends before the two sensa-
tional meetings with the Pole.
Already among the Finnish people
the coming match is being talked of
on the iron ranges and i'm the towns
around Duluth. Special arrangements
will he made to accommodate the large
crowd of Lehtos countrymen that is
expected from outside the city.
