CHAPTER VII.

"N HERE'S no questioning the tact
~ that two weeks of Radville
y "a had driven Duncan to desper-
alton. On the morning of the
fifteenth day he Weakened in his room
at Miss Carpenters and lay for time
abed staring vacantly at the gaudily
papered ceiling, not through laziness
remaining on his back. but through
sheer inertia.
why" he reflected aloud, lit does
not seem reasonable, but I'm actually
looking forward to the delirtous dissi-
patton of church next Sunday!
Me?
IF Kellogg could only see me now!
1 must have done something to deserve
this in my misspent life.
Wonder if nothing ever happens
here. I'd give a whole lot, if l had
it. for a good rousing fire on Main
street.-the Bigelow House for choice.
And it's got me TO the point OF
drooling to myself like those fellows

desert
Come. Get out of this! And. my
boy. remember to count that day lost

Probably ntsquoted. at that
Suddenly he rose and dressed.
He was late at the breakfast and
silent and reserved throughout that
meal. Poor Miss Carpenter thought
him dissatisfied and hung round his
chair. purring with Il solicitude that
almost maddened him. AS soon as pos
sible he made his escape from the
house.
The walk he INDUCED in that morn
ing took him in Il wide circle-sOuth
on the road to the Gap, then east
ward. crossing the railroad and the
river. north through a smiling agri-
cultural region, east to the Flats. He
was trudging up Main street toward
Center shortly after II.
Recognition of Leonard & Calls
familiar shop front fired him with
spirit of advent re and enterprise. He
stopped short, thoughtfully rubbing his
small mustache the wrong way, his
vision glued to the embarrassingly can
did window displays.
It'd be an awful thing for me to do.
Think Of yourself, man, jumping
counters in and out among all those
those things like a lunatic monkey
performing on a Monday mornings

He thought deeply and sighed. ut

But it's one Of the rules; it must be
done. Harry said a ribbon clerk was
a social equal.
Come, now! No more shenanigan!

He turned and moved away slowly.
But. the idea had him by the heels.

I don't need any help. There isn't
much of anything to do here"
That's just the sort OF place I'd
like said Duncan impulsively. Then
he laughed a little uneasily. II mean

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-12-07

He struggled against a growing 'reso-
luton to return. Then enlightenment
came to him suddenly. He paused
again. graphing with this amazing
revelation of self.
Great Scott! Harry was right, darn
him! He said this place would recon-
struct me from the inside out, and vice
versa, and. by jinks, it has! l actual

Can you beat that-me?"
He swung back TO Leonard & Calls,
mentally reviewing his instructions.

month to let the shopkeepers get ac-
customed to the sight of me. Hmm.
Harry certainly has a cute way OF eX-
pressing his thought But it can't be

up the job.
I'm to walk in and say politely: I'm

of my time than anybody else in Rad
Vile"
Yes, but-that is to say
But If you're really looking for
job I'd like TO give you one first rate"
Duncan started toward him in
GREATNESS haste. "You-youd like to-!
You don't mean it,
Yes" Graham nodded. smiling with
enjoyment of his little joke. 1t was
harmless. He didn't for moment be-
lieve that Duncan really needed en-
plotment. and on the other hand. it
tickled him immensely to think that
any one should apply TO him for work.

He said IT earnestly. for he meant 1t
just bit more seriously than he him
self realized at the moment. and I'm
glad to think it was because Sans
serene and gentle. guileless M. ture had
appealed to the young man.

on. Its this way-I've been here for
two weeks with nothing TO do but look

And in n week they'd think they

Graham dropped his tools with a
clatter and faced round. For a mo-
ment his eyes twinkled and a wintry
smile Iightened his fine old features.
We'll, l declare"' he said, rising.
You must be the stranger the whole
towns been talking about

hastily. ''you should have an opening

"Eh, just a minute" said Graham.
