est friend. Nat has about decided that
life Is failure. He has spent all his
money and has come to a realisation that
he is not fitted for any money earning
occupation. whereas his friends are pro-
crossing rapidly In the world.
1t is upon the advice and capital Of his
friends that Nat decides to embark upon
q Wife-hunting expedition. The scheme
is TO go to a small town and live very
quietly and industriously for one year.

conducted is that in every small town
there is at least one girl who has a
fortune. All the young men who are
worth while move away to larger cities
to make their fortunes according to the
theorists, but the poor girls have to re-
main behind. and those who are really
above the average are forced to remain
single because they will not marry the

among his attainments the ability TO
manipulate the telegraph key, having
been. as youth. the telegraph operator
in the small town of Richie, Pa, named
after his father. To this knowledge and
the assistance of friend he was indebt-
ed for his first substantial salary after
entering the theatrical profession.
During one of his early enga gements
the manager of the company by coinci-
dence also an ex-operator, became his
particular friend. Both men often prac-
ticed the Morse code by tapping each
other messages with the end of a pencil
on tables. glasses. etc.
Some time after this engagement
Richie came to New York and in time
was sent for by producing manager
who desired him for a part particularly
the managers office, and found his old
friend, who was in the employ of the
firm, seated at another desk. In fact, 1t
was this friend who had recommended
him for the part.
Ritchie, though he did not disclose the
fact, wanted the engagement very badly
for more reasons than one. He dickered
with the manager for awhile. and was
finally made an offer.
Mr.. Richie was about to accept when
suddenly he heard a familiar sound, and
discovered his silent friend was tapping
a message to him with little clicks on his
desk, which read: Hold off minute
Ask him for $50 more. He said he would
give that before you came in
Without tremor. and cool as a stole.
he received the message while looking at
the manager in apparently deep thought
he tapped back on the managers desk:
Are you sure?'
Sure" came back the clicks.
And rIOOn this hint Rftchie delivered hfs
utimatum and got the raise and the en-
gagement.
