Three, sixty" announced Harry
IN some trepidation, lest he be fatty
and promptly corrected.
The barber reached for the slip and
added It on his own account. Three,
sixty" he agreed, and sighed.
Count the cash." ordered the Wa
termelon, and Harry counted, slowly
carefully, laboriously, and the rest
counted with him, more or less audi
biy.
When the last coin had been count.
ed. there was a moment of puzzled
silence. The Watermelon broke 1t.
Three, thirty-fve," said he. What
did l tell your"
'Hera," snapped the barber, '1et me
count It."
He pushed Harry aside and again
all counted as the barber passed the
coins. Quarters, dimes, nickels and
pennies, the last one was lingeringly
laid on The pile and the sum was lack
ing quarter to make it complete &C
cording 90 the registered slip.
Three dollars and thirty-five cents,
said the Watermelon again, like the
voice of doom.
We'll, vum!" exclaimed Harry.
How'd he do it?" asked the gro
GERS son, with an eye out for pos
sibly similar emergencies nearer
home.
The Watermelon shrugged. 'T don't
know" said he Cant do it myself
but the fsllers in the cities have got
ten so they can open 'em the minute
the clerk turns his back. They can
do 1t without any noise, too, and SO
quick you can't catch 'em. I'll be
hanged if know how they do it."
Again the barber counted the
change, again he totaled the numbers
on the registered slip. They would
not agree. That painful lack of a
quarter could not be bridged.
"He said it was automatic book,
keeping" moaned the barber, glaring
at the slip that would register nothing
less than three dollars and sixty
cents.
"The bookkeeping's all right" said
the Watermelon, 'it's the money that
amt"
He gathered up the coins, slowly,
lovingly, and the barber turned away
from the painful sight

Grossly.
The Watermelon sank gracefully
into the chair. It's hard luck" said
he sympathetically "but you oughtn't
to be so easy. Get wise, get wise"

CHAPTER Ill.
Enter Mr.. Bachelor.

Enter Mr.. Bachelor.
With hair nicely cut, face once
more as smooth as boys, and three
dollars and ten cents in his pocket,
the Watermelon gazed fondly at him
self in the glass and felt sorry for
James. He gently patted his hair,
wet, shiny and smelling of bay rum,
arranged his hat with great nicely at
Just the graceful angle he preferred
as doing the most justice to his
charms, and sailed forth to look for a
suit of clothes. He had scanned criti-
cally those he had encountered in the
barber shop with an eye to future pos
session, but none Of them, at least
what he had been able to see of them,
the coat having generally been con-
spicuous by it's absence, had pleased
him. They had the uncompromising
cut Of the country and the Water
melon felt that the attractions that
gazed back at him from the mirror
were worthy of something better He
had a vague fancy for light gray with
pearl-colored waistcoat and purple
socks-a suit possessing the gentle
folds and fluctuations of the city, not
the scant, though sturdy, outlines of
the country. The hotel seemed the
best place to look for what he want
ed, so he turned in that direction.
The hotel was several miles from
the village. Its gables and chimneys
could be seen rising in majestic aloof-
ness from the woods on a distant hill
side. The Watermelon paused where
the road dipped down again into the
valley and ran his eye over the inter
vening landscape. By the road. it
would be at least five miles; through
the woods, the distance dwindled to
about three. The Watermelon took
80 the woods. A brook laughed be-
tween its messy banks, tumbiing into
foamy little waterfalls over every
boulder that got in its path The Wa
@artssRSon determined to follow the
brook, sure that In the end it would

MANAGEMENT would miss the chance

wider, and through a break in the
