oe ln kscHihg. the very best or shirts. collars. ties. hats. socks. shoes. under wear Kellogg caught Duncan's look ard laughed. Your iaandrcSs will report on everything. you know. So you must he impeccahle-
 ''I'll be even that. whatever it is''
 Re very particular about having your shoes polished. shave daily and manicure yourself relissoasly. but don't let 'em catch you sf il.
 Would they raid me if they didf"
 And then. my son. you must work. .
 Kellogg paused To lef his lesson sink In. After q time Duncan observed piaintively T knew there was a catch In il somewhere What kind of work P
 II doesn't make any difference. so long ss you get aud h9ld some job in the town.
 Well. that lets me ont YenM have te sic some other poor devil on this glittering proposition If yours. l couldn't hold job in
 Wait, I'll tell you how to do 1t in just q minute
 .l don't mind listening. but
 "You1l eineh the whole business hy going 10 church without q break. Don't ever fail-morning and evening. every Sunday. Don't forget that"
 Why
 "Ifs the most important thing of all.-
 Docs going to church make such hit with the young female Jasper-the Jasper~tfc. as it weref-
 ..Ytli make you more solid than any thing else with her popper and mom- mer. and shsts very necessary when you're . candidate for their ducats as well ss their daughter. You must work and you must so to church"
 That can't be all. Surely you can think of something eise-
 .sThose are the cardinal rules church and work until you've landed your heiress, After that you can move back 10 civilization Now. as soon as you strike your town you want to make arrangements for board and lodging in some old womsn's house. preferably an old maid. You'll be sure to find at least half a dozen of 'em willing to take boarders. but you want to be equally sure to pick out the one that talks the most. SD that she'll tell the neighbors all about you. Don't worry about thnt. though. They all talk. When you've moved In stock up your room with about twenty of the driest looking books in the world. Lawbooks look most imposing. Fix up table with lots of stationery-pens and pencils. red and black ink. and all that sort of thing. Make the room look as If you were the most sincere stu dent ever. And by no means neglect to have a we'll worn Bible prominently in evidence. You cen buy one second hand at some bookstore before you start out"
 "Td have to. of course. thank you for the fattery. Proceed with the pro gram of the gay. mad life must lead. Fun going 10 have a swell time. that's perfectly psain.''
 As soon as you're shaken down in your room make the rounds of the stores and ask for work. Try to get into the dry goods emporium if you can The girls all shop there. But any thing will do. except a grocery or a hardware store and places like that. You mustn't consider any employment that would soil your clothes or rough en your lily white hands"
 You expect me to believe I'd have any chance of winning a millionaire's daughter if 1 were a ribbon clerk in iry goods store?"
 The best in the world. The ribbon clerk is her social equal He calls her Mary. and she calls him Joe"
 Done with you. Me for the ribbon eounteri Anything elseg
 'The storekeepers aren't apt to em- ploy you at first They'll be suspicious H you"
 '.They will be afterward. all right However,
 '.So you must simply call on them. walk in, locate the boss and tell him, I'm looking for employment Don't press it. Just say 1t and get out"
 No trouble whatever about that It's llways that way when l ask for work"
 They'll send for you before long. when they make up their minds that you're A decent. moral young man. for they know you'll draw trade. And every Sunday
 "I know--church!'
 Absolutely. Pick out the one the rich folks go fo. Go in quietly and do just as they do-stand up and kneeL look up the hymns and sing just when hey do Be careful not to sing to1 loud or anything like that Just dc il all modestly. as if you were used te it. Better go to church here two or three times and get the hang of it.
 Here. now
 "Neariy all the wealthy codgers in such towns are deacons. you see. and. though they may not speak fo you for months on the street. it's their busi- aess to wayIay you after the service is over and shake hands with you and tell you they hope you enjoyed the sermon and ask you to come again And. you can bank on it. they'll all ,ake notice from the first"
 Its no wonder Bartlett made you . partner. Harry"
 sNow, behave I want you to get in right. If you follow the rules I've out lined, not only will all the girls In town be falling over themselves to get to you first. but their fond parents will be egging them on. Then all you've got to do is to pick out the one with
