The Turn Of

As Jefferson Jones entered N

evidently been waiting for him,
stepped forward and tapped him On
the arm.
Jones turned, q hastily formulated

stopped to stare. surprised. n he
cIaw-like hand extended toward him
were two -ten-dolIar biIls-4and
the vinegary face Of his erstwhile ne.
mesis was slit In o maidenish shipper.
Take them, Mr.. Jones'" The voice
Of the virago was as soft as melting
tar ON a hot roof in July, Take them.
dear Mr.. Jones. And please pardon
me for daring to make such an uncon-
ventional offer, but-o, | am interest
cd in you, dear Mr.. Jones, and I
know you are-temporarily Of course
embarrassed"
Jones gasped. After q slight pres.
sure his landlady withdrew her flesh
less digits from the clammy palm Of
the youth and vanished into her own
parlor.
Jones had reason to gasp. He, I'M
fortunate dry goods clerk, out Of JOB,
was owing this woman three weeks
board, and no later than this morning
he had been told that that day must
either see its liquidation, or his quit
lance. minus trunk. from the smelly
institution.
Fhfing forth with q heavy heart
and scant prospects he found nothing
to buoy the valvular organ and his to-
turn to, Miss Grufiey's food emporium

,pFemonition Of what was to come.
Jefferson. Jones had not always been
q delinquent There had been q time
not so many weeks back when he had
stripped his board money from sub
stantial roll at each week end, and
none had been prompter than he.
,oRut, now, alas, the, good old days
were gone. The prosperous firm OF
McSwun & O'Leary had gone the way
Of greater concerns, unable to compete
with the huge department stores. Nc.
SwufI was now a floor walker at the
Colossus. O'Leary sold neck scarfs at
the Pargainilla. Jefferson Jones. once
their efficient hireling. was marching
