Mr.. Boggs looked surprised, and somewhat
chagrined, at the Leor ard Agency's accom-
modations.
"Purty punEo, 1 should say" he re-
marked.
"Not very fine place, eh? ?" returned the
German. "Well, he is going to move soon,
dat-that young man. He is what you call
a swift o-po-st-chun. He stays now only
because" he nodded mysteriously toward
the office.
"Ha! Little romance, eh?" suggested Mr.
Boggs, thinking of the pretty stenographer.

with paternal grin. "Ugh! The way

Butcher amt lookingl You was-you are
friend of Mr.. Leonard's?" he asked, sud-
denly catching himself up.
"Sure's your Dutch" declared Mr.. Boggs,
looking, and feeling, slightly panied at having
his friendliness questioned. "Why, me and
Jimmy worked together when he wasn't knee
high TO grasshopper!''
He continued to enlarge upon his friendli
ness with the young manager, the German
nodding frequent appreciation. Leonard
came in while they were talking.
He shook hands with Mr.. Boggs rather
coldly, considering the friendship which that
gentleman had been protesting, and escorted
him back to the Agency's desk. As Mr..
Boggs sank into neighboring chair, his coun-
tenance and posture expressed extreme de-
lection. He had carefully thought out the
part he should play, and he played it we'll
He explained that he was getting old, that he
had been discharged by Hallowell, and that
the other agencies were looking for younger
men, and ended by offering to work on
commission.
Jimmy was placed in the uncomfortable
position, common enough with every successful
business man, of having either to turn down"
an unlucky associate of other days or to en-
ploy an inefficient assistant. It was his first
experience of the kind; and he did what al
most any young business man would have
done under similar circumstances. He &C
cepted the alternative of hiring an inefficient
assistant.
On the following morning Jimmy carefully
explained to him the Agency's method of
approach. The Leonard Agency's tactics
struck him as rather absurd; young Leonard's
insstence on treating advertising as purely
business proposition was especially disgust
ing to the seasoned live wire" In COM
mon with most other live wires" of that
period, he looked upon ad. getting as a sort
of legitimate graft; much, in fact, as the ward
politician looks upon the emoluments of

be best to adopt his new employers methods

theless, the more he thought OF
the details of his assignment, the
more disguised he became with
the position in which it would
put him. AS he left the Office
building and rolled ponderously
up Broadway, he let his mind
dwell upon the impossible plea
sure of punching his employer in
the solar plexus.
Mr.. Boggs, in spite of his pro-
fessed friendship with Leonard,
was forced to locate the Agency
through the medium of tele-
phone directory. The number
proved to be that of a tobacco
store: "Bucher's Havana To
bacco Emporium" Mr.. Boggs
entered. There was little Office,
near the front of the store, in
which bald, benevolent German
was debating to a very pretty
young lady stenographer. The
German arose and came out into
the store.
Elbow do you do, sir" he said.
"And what may I do for you this
morning."
Mr.. Boggs looked at the Ger
man and liked him. There was
nothing of the eternal American
hurry-up about this store-keeper.

heart.

His large size, in itself, enabled him to display
larger amount of dazzling haberdashery
than was possible in the case of the ordinary
advertising solicitor; and in the days when
dazzling haberdashery played as large part
in the advertising business as it now does in
ward politics, this was decided advantage
But even ten years ago, those days were pass
ing. Mr.. Boggs's presence in Mr.. Hallowell's
ante-room was occasioned by the fact that the
respondent olive wires" engaging personal
ity was not bringing in as much business as
formerly. Mr.. Boggs was the last one to
realize the changing state of affairs. In pro-

age of advertising-ceased to be eficacious,
he put on the commodity commonly known
as "fron..." Naturally enough, he debited

Mr.. Boggs entered The Presence, as al
ways, with sort of dignihed humility. Mr..
Hallowell cast glance, ominously short, at
him, and nodded toward chair. Mr.. Boggs
sank into it, nursing his white fedora hat.

Mr.. Boggs admitted that he would
cts like this: you may know that there's
several new advertising agencies started up
lately. New ideas, you know, sensational
methods, and all that sort of rot. There's
one in particular, run by that young Leonard
fellow, that fired about year ago. Well, my

would be futile, consented. He left the office

Allegations to the effect that the
plaintiff in the case of George L. Rose
against the Oregon Electric Railway
company, an action in the circuit court
for Marion county tor damages, was
careless and negligent in alighting from
the train when in motion, the defen-
dant company this morning filed an
answer to the complaint. The answer
goes on to state that the train stopped
at the corner of State and High streets
because of an intcrsecting car line and
not to allow passengers to alight. The
injuries of the plaintiff were caused
by his own negligence, the company
alleged. 1t admits that ticket was
bought for passage from Portland to
Salem and that Rose was received as a
passenger. A reply to the answer, de.
nying the allegations made, was also
filed by the plaintiff.
