A few years ago, DIR. Hubbard came

meetings. Many old students. now
widely scattered, will remember those
sermons, and how DR.. Hubbard gather

Regiment and gave each member
a regiment button.
On the last day, he invited all the
regiment to take dinner with him
in the Main dining room Just before

table saw the tears roll down his
cheeks as he locked over that large
company. and meme who heard. will

There was only one ray OF light Wis
ible about the plant OF the Interstate
Manufacturing company. That was in
a corner of the main Office, where
David Harris sat poring over
an account book. Once in a while he
lifted his eyes and stared dreamily
at the wall. II was not from weariness
doing. II was when the picture Of his
fiance, pretty Mary Lee, came float
ing into his mind, and the air castles
concerning her formed a perfect vista
OF magical creations
As to the extra work, David welcom-
ed that heartily. II meant extra
money, and ready cash was large ele-
ment in his prospects just now. The
company employing him did not pay
princely salaries. Practical, hard-fist
ed old Silas Lee, Mary's father, had
set the figure David must earn before
his daughter What worried David
was that an advance in salary seemed
long ways of. Worse than that, he
believed old Lee capable Of encourag-
ing the advances Of suitors more de-
sirable in a money way.

David was suddenly startled. The Of

Mr.. Morse, president of the COM
pany, plunged into view. He held an
open telegram in his hand, and he
looked anxious and flustered.

a disappointed tone, David fancied.
No, sir, had some extra work.

} David was soon rejoined by his host
in the library, into which he had been
ushered.
Now, then" spoke Mr.. Henry, lets
hear all about It,"
He looked pretty serious as David
described the sudden appearance and
wild fight of the burglar. Then his
fat, jolly face creased into smiles. and
he chuckled when David explained
why he was an early caller.
See here said Mr.. Henry, you'll
stay to breakfast with me. Then I've
got something to say to you
II David had been drowsy from his
long vigil, the encounter with the bur-
glar had reused him up pretty thor
oughly. The ample meal to which he
was invited by most agreeable host
encouraged him in the belief that Mr,
Henry fully appreciated his accidental
helpfulness in his behalf.

repast was concluded, let US get

David Harris went proudly back to

and position came within a week. q

event was a wedding present from
