his bare toes wriggied In the excite

there was q CLEAN OF unQuenchable

Sir John rose. drew himself up 80

gazed with a naughty stare at his
mother.

the strident voice Of Silas as he ad-
dressed sundry remarks to the horses.
'Thy minion 10 without, call him to
do thy bidding" added Sir John
EFF you mean Silas, he's got all he
kin do, and you needn't be calm him

But Sir John positively refused to
outrage his knightly dignity by driving

threatening in vain, left him. and in q
few moments his father appeared and
unceremoniously dragged the noble
knight to the woodshed. The hero

The Hardware
|CIerk'SSumnler

This thing began At O New England
seashors resort q year ago last sum
mer.
The young man concerned II the
case was from and IL OF New York
So was and Is the girl
The young fellow at that time had q
Job In q New York hardware store. He
was q hustUng. alert salesman. and .
pretty good handshaker. and got $40
q week By way OF salary.
When he reached the New England
seashore resort, however. he didn't
look like any $50 q week hardware
clerk On the contrary he looked like
several different shades Of prompt
money.
He had a number of very fiossy
pairs OF white duck trousers. a bunch
of outing shirts that were, as he him
self well knew and said, all the bon
bons, and other attractive wardrobe
features.
In addition he possessed winning
ways.
When he left for the resort he had
two weeks of with pay, little bank
wad in his pocket and a determine,
ton to have a hull heap Of a good
time for himself and his money while
he was away from III oil New York
The hotel was, as he found when he
got there, Uttered, cluttered, loaded up,
jammed, stuffed and packed to the
gun1s with coolies and slews and slath-
ers of pretty girls. Peaches, all OF
them Lockers, every one Of them.
They were all beautiful enough to
cause a young hardware clerk on two
weeks leave Of absence to suffer at
least momentarily from the blind stag
gers at the first sight of 'em.
And to match this tremendous as
sortment Of pretty girls scattered all
over and around the seashore hotel,
there were just four male persons. The
hardware clerk didn't have to be even
little bit conceited to discern that
he had the other three male persons
backed off the boards In every imagi'
nable respect.
He could see that they wouldn't do
at all The girls had been tolerating
'em around, but the clerk saw right

An event to be much talked about
IN society and another TO cause chat
ter from the seventh floor TO the
basement at Maxim q Co.'S depart
ment store. occurred the same week
Ths Arst was the announcement OF
the engagement Of Miss Edith Lisle
10 Mr.. Eugene Nevins, who was one
Of the partners OF the store. and So
ciety agreed that IL was o fine match.
Society refers to those things the
same way man refer 20 horses In O
race.
The second event was the general
overhauling of the store detectives
and many OF the sales girls. on &C
count of the sudden increase In shop
lifting. Laces and other valuable
goods not the usual prey Of the shop
litter were being taken In q way TO
make the loss q serious one and TO
call for increased vigilance.
Maxim q Co. had the reputation OF
carrying the finest line Of laces In
the city. There were four salesgirls
In this department. and the one in
charge was Miss Grattan. She had
held her place for nearly a year when
the first theft was reported. The
first and second cases were passed
over, but when the third was re-
ported Miss Grattan was placed un-
der suspicion. It was Mr. Nev1ns
who set the watch on her. and 1t was
to Mr.. Nevins that the report was
made later on.
Lives with her widowed mother;
goes out very little and then with
Mr.. Traver. Of the furniture depart
ment It Is said that they are en-
gagged. II she takes the lace. she
sells 1t somewhere. Cannot say that
suspicion should attach to any one
Of the four at the lace counter"
In the line Of business Mr.. Nevins
had once called Miss Grattan to the
office. She had not trembled and
covered in his presence. On the con.
trary, she had seemed too assured
and snippy to please him. There
must be discipline In department
stores. and when an employe Is
before the powers that be. he or she
Is expected to act as II life was at
stake. AS Miss Grattan didn't. Mr..
Nevins was displeased with her.

Grattan came first. Lace to the

Ii was not long after that the COWS

That night he could not lie on his

There had been a rush at her counter

their eyes open and look upon every

that some one Of those customers
might be a shopliftsr. and there to
put the four In peril Of losing their

but he made no excuses for Miss
Grattan, nor permitted her to make
any for herself.
There Is slacknss there or these
things could not happen" he said.
"a smart girl can tell Q shoplifter

There were three store detectives,

not make the mistake OF watching

high-priced lace. She was a young
woman Of about twenty-five, who
had come In her auto, and she had q
full purse and bought literally and
kook away her package. She was
watched, and yet ten minutes after
she had gone valuable piece Of lace
was missing. The most that could
be found out about her was that she
had frequently been In the store and
that she paid cash and never had her
purchases sent. The loss had to be
reported to Mr.. Nevins. He did not

that there wasn't going to be any
trouble for him to get in good, or pref

AS a matter Of fact, he didn't have
any. He just looked EN- all over with
The greatest care. and 1t was all right.
He didn't have any bother whatever
in getting introduced to her Fact is,
there wasn't any Introduction.
She was being chaperoned by her
aunt, b 1t the chaperon didn't figure at
all. The hardware clerk permitted his
lordly choice to fall upon this raving.

the rest of the girls Immediately began
to knock her. Of course, whereas they'd
been parading around the hotel piaz-
zas with arms wrapped around her
waist before the one presentable youth,
the hardware clerk, had made his ap-
pearance upon the scene.
Now, at the outset the hardware
clerk only meant to be a gay dog and
an awful cutup and clip among the
girls. But he hadn't been going around
with this one girl of his careful selec
ton for two days before he began tc
perceive that he was In bad.
That Is to say, he found that he
was falling most hopelessly and fatu
ously and idiotically in love with the
girl.
Fatuously and idiotically because II
