married.
He had in fact been engaged to be
married for five years. He and Enid

at an old oak bed which was going

They had really decided TO buy 1t. for

that its purchase was certain, but there
was pleasure in considering it to-

points, and how well 1t would look
Enid was waiting impatiently for him
outside the shop when he went up to
her.

YOU meet me-" she said. What will you
look like when We have been married a

Enid, working hard in her little home,
always feels grateful to old Barker for
taking her husband back, for she feels
that she owes her happiness to him.

On the fourth Monday Dodson was
absent, and no word came from him.
The next day, too, he was missing
When Wednesday came, and he had
made no sign, Mr.. Barker began to in
quire. A messenger was sent around
to the absent mans lodgings, when it
was found that he had packed up and
gone. without exerting himself to leave
any address.
The old manufacturer called in a firm
of chartered accountants, and spent
several days in the examination of the
neat little cards.
In the end they admitted they were
baffled, for the figures and facts on the
cards related to nothing in particular.

but he had one weakness-admirat ton
for his SON
Mr. Tom Barker, the son, had spent
two years in an American mandatory
Of the same kind as that belonging to
his father. and he had come back with
passion for various complicated bust
ness systems, He would almost rather
have read on card figures showing
loss than figures showing a sub
stantial profit In a ledger I4edgers
incensed him. and day books filed him
with contempt Very frequently he took
his father into his confidence about his
state of mind.
Now all this threatened Robert Green,
the young head clerk Bob had been
with the firm for seven years He had
started as Junior clerk. and he had
risen because he was not only good
accountant but a sound business man.
At the very least he was the equal OF
Mr. Tom in brains, although he never
had much to say. apart from his work
The old man knew in a general way
that Bob was a very useful servant, but,
like most capable men, Bob made no
commotion or fuss in the office. In
short, he did not understand the art of
self advertisement
one morning. about II o'clock. Mr.
Tom, irritable because he had not got
to bed before 3 o'clock, strobe through
the office. and saw Bob turning up an
account in one of the big ledgers. He
went into his fathers office and found
him busy preparing a tender for large
contract he hoped to get from the Gov.
eminent.
Good morning, Tom said Mr. Bar
ker. You're very late. You might go
and ask Green what the price Of the

MIR. Tom did SO. and Bob supplied him
with the facts within three minutes,
after turning up certain references.

Mr.. Tom, having first fused i'm

expert. with his polished boxes of neat
little cards, went to Norway for his
summer holiday. He felt he had done
great things, and deserved a rest.

nets OF this sort of card and cabinets
full Of that sort of card, and he hustled
about, making all sorts of inquiries,
with an air of resolute gravity remark
able in such a young-look ing person.
Costs Worked Out.
Mr. Barker never pretended to him
self that he liked him, and he was sure
he could not understand the inner meth
DDS OF the wonderful new system. But
he had to admit that, whenever he
wanted to know anything, Dodson was
always able to inform him in a moment.
Costs were worked out to the seventh
place of decimals, accounts were re-
vealed at a glance. and there was an air
of "go" and snap" about the office
that appealed to his mind. The cabi-
nets and the cards reeked of efficiency.
But, all the same, Mr.. Barker was
vaguely uneasy, because he could not
fathom the mechanism OF the thing. He
knew everything there was to know
about the processes in his manufac-
tory, and Bob Green's old fashioned
bookkeeping was as simple to him as
b c. But he felt he would have to
leave this new tangled business to his
son.
