SENTIMENT HIS BANE.
That's Why Easy Boss" Was Up
Against II.

He was a man of sense, but he
had fed on sentimental literature
and nursed on golden texts and
survived a romance or two until
MS business talents were not what
they seemed In short, he was the
sentimental boss who was up
against it.
His help adored him. but as some
things are too good to be true, or
too good to last, the dear fellow
wasn't there long to be adored.
The superintendent said the bust
ness was sliding down hill ever
since he took charge, and these wer
the charges against him:
He hasn't the nerve to lay off
the girl with the dreamy eye. The
girl having mother dependent,
etc., he couldn't do it. He would
rather cheat the firm than offend
one of these little ones in the Of
flee.
Here are two distinct incidents
that brought the sentimental boss
into the quicksand of disfayor.
He raised the Gibsonian beauty
three dollars a week because she
wept into his inkwen. Mother
must have a sea voyage. the doc
tor says-and l really don't know
how - o, dear, me, everything's s
such a problem!" Her sweet con
Vlnclnghlnts about the difficulty Of
making both ends meet on $12
a week drifted right into the core
OF the soul of the manager.
Ihe daughter of the minister of
church to which he belonged ask
ed for chance in the office. There
was no room just then for Minnie,
but he thought he could make an
opening by and by.
When the first rush came along
ne created a new position. When
the rush was over he couldn't
abolish it, and think of Minnie
patterlng up and down the pave
ments and applying TO the brutes
OF managers!
Minnie enjoyed her snap, plus
ten dollars a week, and one day
She lnnocently padded the figures
on pay roll so you couldn't see how
much extra pin money she took
out of the office.
The sentimental manaser was in
the meditative mood for a week and
then out Of his own pocket covered
up the $50 deficit and never said
word to the minister, who was
strong on the home government,
and through his own influence got
/ Minnie another position with anoth-
er firm where she could not re-
peat the same offence, and then
gave her only one little hint as to
being more honest hereafter.
Noble act of friendship from the
standpoint of the minister-foolish
act Of chump who wasn't cut out
for business from the standpoint of
the firm.
And the firm policy OF the firm
will prevail against the 'l'unatic
lover and the poet" combination.
That's how a sentimental boss got
weary of the boss and is now a
successful piano tuner.

morning, but on account of the
deth oaf Byrd the case was contin-
ued. Blackmon was tried in March,

50, pcrforce, Bcllcw rcscatcd himself upon
his portmantcau, and, drawing Small
Porgcs close, bent his head down 10 the
anxious little face; and so Small Porges told
him exactly what the Moon had said And
the Moons message whatever It was
seemed TO be very short and concise, as all
really important messages should be; but
these few words had a wondrous and magical
effect upon George Belew For moment
he stared wide eyed at Small Porges, like one
awaking from a dream; then the gloom
vanished from his brow and he sprang TO his
feet. And, being upon his feet, he smote
his clcnchcd fist down into the palm of his
hand with a rcsoundlng smack.
"By Heaven" he exclaimed, and took a
turn 10 and fro across the width Of the lane,
and, seeing Small Porgcs watching him.
caught him suddenly up IN his arms and
hugged him And the moon will be at the
full tonight" said he. Thereafter he sat him
down on his portmantcau again, with Small
Porgcs on his knee, and they talked conf
dcntlally with their heads very close to-
gcthcr and in mutiled tones.
When at last Bcllcw rose, his eyes were
bright and eager, and his square chin promi-
ncnt and grimly rcsolutc
"So-you quite understand, my Porgcs;

ing bout the fortune. So | got up IN the
middle Of the night, an dressed myself, an
sat in the big chair by the window, an
looked at the Money Moon. An | stared
at it, an stared at it till a wonderful thing
happened what do YOU s'posc:
Il don't know.
"Well. all at once, while | stared up at It,
the moon changed itself into a great, big
face: but | didn't mind Bit cause 1t was a
very nice sort of face, rather like a gnome 5
face-onlv without the beard, you know. An
while | looked at it, it talked 10 me, an It
told me a lot Of things, AN that's how |
know that YOU are going away cause you
are, YOU know, aren't you;
why, my Porges, said Bclcw tumbling
with his pipe, "why, Shpmatc, since you
ask me- | am. .
"Yes. | was 'fraid the moon was right,
said Small Porgcs, and turned away. But
Beew had seen the stricken look in his eyes
therefore. he took Small Porges in the circle
of his big arm. and, holding him THIS, cX-
plaincd to him how in this great world
each OF us must walk his appointed way, and
that there must and always will be part
ings: but that also there must and always
shall be meetings:
And so, my Porgcs, if we have 10 say
goodby now, the sooner we shall meet again
some day-somcwherc.'
But Small Porgcs only sighed, and shook
his headin hopeless detection. "Doesshe know

"Oh. yes, she knows, Porgcs.'
Then | pose that's why she was crying
so in the night
"Crying?"
"Ycs-shes cried an awful lot lately,
