A moment afterward TAFT came up
to him.
Were mighty glad to see you back
again. Baldwin," he, said MIR. Brans-
forth said you were to go into his
private office the moment you came
in"
Howard looked up at TAFT, and sud
denly the absurdity Of his presence
there struck home to him. He was
appalled, He could only stare stupid
ly at TAFT. He did not know what to
say.
TAFT, mistaking his embarrassment
for shyness, took him playfully by the
arm and led him across the room to
the glass door Of Mr.. Bransforth's of
fee. He ushered him inside and dis
appeared Mr.. Bransforth looked up
and. rising from his chair. gripped the
young man warmly by the hand.
Il can't tell you how gladI am that
letter found you" he said. Il hope
you can come back to us, Mr. Baldwin.
It will be serious disappointment to
me If you can't, and something of a
loss to the firm. To think that after
trying to locate you all this time the
name of your old address should sud
denly have come into my head!
First of ALL" he continued, Il must
apologize frankly to you for my treat
ment of you. The fact Is, Ranger
came to us with the best of creden-
tials from his old place. took the
trouble to look them up after he left,
and found that he had written them
himself and signed the name to them,
too.
"WelI, It didn't take long after your
disappearance for me to find out that
he was absolutely incapable for the
work. He was simply a blum, Mi
Baldwin, and l imagine that he want
ed to get rid of you because he knew
| that you saw through him. Dear me

to take his position. The salary Is

Il can come" said Howard quietly

sition open for you. But II it is thu

And that was the best prophecy tina

sample shown in the picture.
The broad band is made OF gold
braid in a lattice work pattern, stud

tons of the braid. Similar pieces are
made of pearl beads and any other

Ornaments, feathers and flowers,
often add further establishment to
couture decorations of this character.
Such elaboration in ornaments pre-
supposes more elaborate coiffures

LAPSE: Of MEMORY
Rx CAL FuRN.

Iuella Marston looked at Howard In
a dazed sort Of manner. She could
not quite understand what he was say
ing; and she did not dare to under
stand. M
Granger never liked me. Old
Bransforth took his side had to
support him -. !" The sentence were
meaningless to her.
Patiently Howard, taking both her
hands in his, repeated the story. He
had held a position In Bransforth's
company for six years. until Ranger
was made head of his department.
Ranger was an empty-headed man
with the sole idea of being good dis
ctpiinarian. He had harassed the Of
flee force until their work fell off in
character and quality. And Howard
had been made the scapegoat, because
Howard was the most efficient man.
Bransforth had sent for both OF
them, and Ranger had stated positive
ly that 1t was impossible for them to
continue to work together He es-
teemed Howard personally, but 1t
was the old story Of an ignorant super
intendent and an able subordinate. At
last Bransforth had turned to Howard.
@Pm sorry, MIR. Gray" he said. But
of course you understand must APP
prove of Mr. Rangers course"
Then I'll send you in my resigna-
ton, sir" said Howard.
Bransforth certainly treated him
very fairly. He gave him two months
salary and cordial letter expressing
his keen regrets at their separation
Only, positions such as Howard had
filled, in chemical house which spe
cialized on one. or two articles, of pro
duction, were almost impossible to Sc
cure. And Howard and Luella were
to have been married that May.
Ky Never mind, dear. You will get q
better position than before" Luells
said consolingly.
Her fiance kissed her, but he knew
the awful difficulty of the task before
him. He had been getting forty dol
lars week, and the position hat
seemed SO permanent that he haS
lived fairly we'll instead Of trying Il
save money. He had only three hun
dred in the bank, for their first sup
ply OF furniture. And this was melt

months. when nothing could be oh
tanned, with fearful rapidity.

to suit the preference of the wearer.
That shown in the picture is typical
Of the season. These stick-ups look
fragile. and are strong. The ribs OF
natural feathers are used for stems,
surmounted with their native fues OF
others.
A band of white fur and an ostrich
plume in white trim the graceful black
velvet hat which appears in the other
picture. The crown is small and sort
in this model-merely lined pun OF
velvet. A broad French plume, with
quill end thrust through the brim, is
quite modest as to height, compared
with extremes which have become pop
ular.
Worn with this brilliant hat is
neckpiece Of marabout and ostrich
showing strips in white, white and
black and all black, making a wide
scarf that is very dressy and very
comfortable. Although the down Of
marabout looks so airy. it seems al
most to generate warmth and looks al
coy as 1t feels.

Howard was gone. The ceaseless
tramp. tramp through the hot streets,
with the constant rejection every
where, wore on the young fellows
nerves. He hardly dared to see Lueila
now.
They might have been married hap
pily three months before. Howard
was becoming desperate. Even Sep
TENDER bore with 1t no certainty OF a
position.
He had always avoided those parts
of the city contiguous to Bransforth 8.
The thought of passing down the
same streets through which he had
walked in happier days was intoler-
able. But there came day when he
found himself in that neighborhood
And then-perhaps 1t was the heat
which had been intense that week, OF
the result Of the nervous exhaustion
brought about by his dependency

came him.
