When ! got up this morning | found

Jock. Used to it, Do you mean to

think you'd better go in to breakfast
before the Bisons begin to forage?

The gloom which had o~verspread
Jock McChesney's face lifted a little.
The hungry boy in him was upper
most. That's so. I'm going to have
some wheat cakes, and steak, and
eggs, and coffee, and fruit, and toast,
and rolls"

mother. Then, as he turned toward
the dining room, i've two letters to
get out. Then I'm going down the
street to see a customer. I'll be up
at the Sulzberg-Stein department store

I'll be there. anyway, and so will Ed

Maybe you know Sulzberg & STEMS
big store? No? That's because you've
always lived In the city. Old Sulz-
berg sends his buyers to the New
York market twice a year, and they
need two floor managers on the main
floor now. The money those people
spend for red and green decorations
at Christmas time, and apple-blossoms
and pink crepe paper shades in the
spring must be something awful.
Young Stein goes to Chicago to have
his clothes made, and old Sulzberg
likes to keep the travelling men wait
ing in the little ante-room outside his
private Office.
Jock McChesney finished his huge
STEMS, and inquired his way to the
Office, only to find that his mother
was not yet there. There were three
men in the little waiting-room. One
of them was Fat Ed Meyers. His huge
bulk overlooked the spindle-legged
chair on which he sat. His brown
derby was in his hands. His eyes
were on the closed door at the other
side of the room. So were the eyes
Of the other two travellers. Jock
took a vacant seat next to Fat Ed
Meyers so that he might, in his minds
eye, pick out a particularly choice
spot upon which his hard young fist
might land-if only he had the chance.

She seated herself in a deep chair in
a quiet corner, her eyes glancing up
over the top OF her paper toward the
stairway. At eight o'clock Jock Nc
Cbesney came down.
There was nothing Of jauntiness

face had the doughty look Of one whose

twelve, and the single one about f1f-

ninety-three of 'em in the hall, all
saying goodnight to each other, and
planning where they'd meet in the
morning, and the time, and place and
probable weather conditions. For that
