tell the neighbors all about you. Don't
worry about that, 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
a 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 can buy one second
hand at some bookstore before you
start out"
J 1--WE have to, of course. I thank you
! for the fattery. Proceed with the pro-
gramme of the gay, mad life must
lead I'm going to have a swell time;
that's perfectly plain"
| LAS 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
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
| 7 Yihhnn plark in
dry 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
counter! Anything else?'
The storekeepers aren't apt to en-
ploy you at first. They'll be suspicious
of 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 it and get out"
NO trouble whatever about that It's
always that way when 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
Il know-church!"
Absolutely, Pick out the one the
rick folks go to. Go in quietly and do
Just as they do-stand up and kneel,
look up the hymns and sing just when
they do Be careful not to sing too
loud or anything like that. Just do it
all modestly, as if you were used to it.
Better go to church here two or three
times and get the hang of it."
Here, now
Nearly all the wealthy codgers in
such towns are deacons, you see, and,
though they may not speak to you for
months on the street, it's their busi-
ness to waylay you after the service
is over and shake hands with you and
tell you they hope you enjoyed the SER
mon and ask you to come again. And,
you can bank on it, they'll all take
notice from the first"
It's no wonder Bartlett made you a
partner, Harry"
Now, behave. l 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
the biggest bundle and
Make a play for herr"
Not on your life That would be
fatal. Your part is to put yourself in
her way. She'll do all the counting,
and when she scents the psychological
moment she'll do the proposing"
1T doesn't sound natural, but you
certainly seem to know what you're
drolling about"
You can anchor on that, Nat
And are you finished?"
Il am. OF course I'll probably think
of more things to wise you to before
you 60"
Duncan laughed shortly and tilted
back in his chair, selecting another
cigarette. And you're the chap who
wanted me to go to some bromide old
show tonight! Harry, you're immense.
Why didn't you ever let me suspect
you had all this romantic imagination
in your system?"
Imagination be blowed, son. This
is business" Kellogg removed the
stopper from the decanter and filled
both glasses again. We'll, what do
you say?"
I've Just said my say, Harry. It's
amazing. I'm proud of you"
But will you do it?"
Everything else aside, how can |?
I've go to live, you know"
But propose to stake YOU"
Duncan came down to earth. NO,
you won't-nOt cent. I'm in earnest
about this thing-no more sponging or
you, Harry. Besides
mo, seriously, Nat, l mean this,
every word of it. l want you to do it,
