preached him for negectng to write to FF
the old fellow, whose gratitude for the
services Carr rendered had taken shape HET2
in a fee far beyond what Carr had ts3TMN.3f-
dreamed of imposing upon his evidently &K r.
slender purse. A suggestion to this effect z
in his note OF acknowledgment had -
elected from the Virginian answer so -
worded as to show that reCOnsldera-

case and they had not met again. EHMx ~
The man S answer to Cars query "
given cordially. "Mr. Darlington, Sir?
Well we've had many coming and going "a
since took this place; but not one gen.
tleman that puzzled to make him out
like he did. You saw for yourself, MIR. -
Carr, what poor lodgings he was satisfied - 3
with, and how he just drudged along,
every day at the Office, every evening
reading those old books, up to the eyes
in papers about the money market. Well,
Sir asked him to give me little
tip about an investment of nestegg I'd laid by and
you Il believe he did and just doubled my cash
in weeks time and then quit. When he left here he
gave presents to my wife and children beyond what
they d have ever suspicioned was possible.
"He's gone then? When and where?"
"Had to give up, Sir. Left his place with Conway
& Company and moved down South last fall Sent
Christmas gift that was an eyeopener! I've many
time wanted to know how the kind gentemans health
kept; but he wrote line Likely enough he'd

who like most New Workers, would take friends re-
appearance with placid unconcern had he dropped from
the MOON and when they dining together took

and servants and motors and all the rest OF it. Be-
sides the old lady had another grievance, her daugh

in the corridor, and | must have word with him.
Back again before the squads are served old boy.
Carr, his heart pumping vigorously, sat like a rock
till Williamson returned. What he going to hear!
"I1is daughter" went Williamson helping himself
to salad with his SQUAD. mice girl l always thought
and this proves it. She might have married Freddy
Godnore any minute, and pulled her family out of the
hole but she wouldn't hear of it, and stuck close by
her father when Mrs Travers turned her back on him.
Lucky there are few women left like that, Carr
women worth working for the way We men work
now
al agree with YOU" said Carr. @No, nothing sweet
for me- thank you. Do you happen to know where the
Travers are now"
a did hear; but have forgotten. Nobody knows
where people GO when they lose their money in New
York The South somewhere. Old Travers, to live at
all had to live out doors, they said. Now we'll finish
the evening, l can't get home by the show at the
