Proved to Be Proprietor.

The first man his eyes fell upon when he
entered the haberdashery was the stranger
OF the night before. He was standing in the
store aisles talking to another man. Both
men were without their hats and had the ap-
pearance OF belonging in the store. Goodrich.
catching the eye of his casual acquaintance.
approached him with definite misgivinSs.
- I am looking for Mr.. Congdon.' he said.
The one with whom he had Travelled bowed
and smiled. Il am Mr.. Congdon, he said.
Goodrich's perturbation inhibited speech
for a moment. Then he formed a decision.
" Mr.. Congdon," he said. earnestly. " want
to sell you line of hats. I'm up against It.
You heard my troubles last night. am glad
you did I would have talked that way even
IL had known who you were. I've got TO
sell you some hats or lose my job" He threw
appeal into his voice. hanging hope on the
sympathy the man had exhibited the night
before.
Congdon gradually concealed. II am
sorry, but have all the hats shall want for
six months" he said.
That's the old story" Goodrich rejoined.
You'll be buying hats inside OF six months
and probably inside OF month You'll DO
buying hats like ours. except that they will
not be as good. Can't you give me the order.
Mr.. Congdon?'
The merchants congelation was complete.
You must excuse me-" he said, with cold
civility. 81 am very busy today" He turned
and walked to the back OF the store.
Goodrich stood gazing after him for a mo-
ment In chagrin. Presently his chagrin be-
gan to give place to resentment. which grew
to indignation and eliminated in wrath. He
passed out OF the store calling down amateur
anathemas on the venerable head OF the hat
merchant. and emerged raging into the
street He would serve a turn on the old
hypocrite, He would make him sorry that
he had played with him like that. leading him
out into an intimate revelation and then
him down, He wouldn't stand for
that sort OF treatment

Four DAYS Without an Order.

Then came the four days in succession. with
an intervening Sunday on which to contem-
plate life and himself. One man was over
stocked, another had just purchased from
another house, a third was out Of town, a
fourth had a quarrel with the house. a NTH
was surly and would not go to look at his
samples, sixth, with pride In his knowledge
of hats. had picked his arguments to pieces
and made him ridiculous. and so It had gone
through the four heavy days.
Morton Goodrich was sufficiently depressed
in contemplation OF the effects of his failure
on his purse and his standing with'the house,
but he suffered most heavily from shattered
illusions. The world was colder and harder
than he had believed 1t to be; hatters, as
class. were inhuman. He detected them in a
conspiracy TO discourage and suppress his
young genius. Very WE'LL he told himself as
he sat in the chair. staring with fixed eyes
into the blur of scenery that whtrled past
the windows. II the business world was SO
obstinately blind or perverse that IT wanted
to keep him down, he would let II. He would
not thrust himself where he was not wanted.
Some day the world would find out the oppor-
tunity IT had missed and be sorry. That was
enough for him; he was satisfied in contem-
plation Of the pungent revenge
He made up his mind. sitting there. staring
into the night gathering among the trees by
the side Of the right of wayne made up
his mind what he would do. He would finish
the trip. and then he would go back into the
office. salesmanehip was only step, anyway,
on the ladder to rise to general managership
or a vice presidency. 1t would not be neces-
sary. in his case, to subject himself to lot

Goodrich looked up into the mans eyes
and saw sympathy there. That was enough
TO precipitate him upon a narration of his
grievances: sympathy was precisely what
he craved. That ism: the trouble" he
began The trouble is that hat merchants
axe lot Of fossilized rumnlIes. If man has

to be easy enough to sell them, and would

Indeed interpolated the stranger with

hear you say that
His establishment pIqued Goodrich to an
elaboration Of his assertions that degen-
Grated into whining reprobatfon Of hat mer-
chants in general. and a number with whom
he had had dealings in particular. He
made himself out 10 be a much abused and
