During the next few weeks Rawson
discovered that the ramifications of
the business were more numerous
than he could possibly have dreamed
of. There was sort of free masonry
about the Office which made all the
records, except the most secret ones,
open to the investigation of everyone
Old Smith had meant what he said
when he told Rawson that the man
with brains had his opportunity.
Before two months had elapsed
half dozen of the clerks had left.
Mysteriously, without notice, they
disappeared. 1t was a prevalent idea
that nobody had chance at Smith &
Blake's. "The minute old Smith be-
gins to notice you, you may as well
look round for another job" declared
one Of the men to Rawson. 1.-THE old
ghoul sucks his employees brains dry
and filings them aside like sucked
oranges"
After six months Rawson was still
getting nine dollars week. He now
stood sixth in order of priority among
the clerks. And then came the morn
ing when Smith sent for him into his
private Office.
'Mr. Rawson," declared the old
man, waving him to a chair, 81 have

am pleased to see that your are pune
tual, industrious and courteous, and
that you have common sense"
This must be the beginning of the
end, thought Rawson, yet feeling fiat
tered by the old mans words.
"Those qualities," continued Smith,
ARE possessed by many excellent
street car conductors, elevator men,
railroad porters and ice cream ped
dlers. They are invaluable as props
to ability, but they are of no use I'M
less supported by brains. Now, Mr.. |

He became incoherent as he pro-

When Dick came home last night to
dinner he acted as thought nothing

larly about my health, however; said
he knew l was tired out and nervous

wonder why man always thinks
that when his wife voices her annoy
ance or hurt at his conduct he al
ways attributes it, not to his own
wrong doing, but to her physical con-
dition?
You would not talk this way if
you were not all unstrung over the ILL
ness of Jacks wife and Eiene's trou-
BILE, said Dick to me after had told
him that he had killed my faith in
him.
The whole episode may be just as
he told it. He may have intended to
go to dinner and spend the evening
with his men friends. The telephone
from the Morris may have come later
and he may have excused himself
from his friends and met the Nor
ris' for the evening. All this may have
been perfectly true, but the fact re-
mains that when l asked him if he
had a good time with his men friends
he said YES" allowing me to infer
that he was with them all the even
ing, and he would have never told me
about the trip in the Morris motor
had I not learned it from over the
telephone.
ct is a dreadful thing you have
done, Dick dear, and l am not sure
it is not worse for you than for me.
You have taken the faith and abso-
lutte confidence in your integrity of a
loving woman and thrown it away on
an evenings pleasure with people |
who care very little for you and for |
whom you care less.

You would not salve your con-

Iwould not be hurt about it if l were
not all tired out and nervous.
ITO me, Dick, it is tragedy, for I
know that never again will believe
in you implicitly. l shall be always
asking myself: Does this sound
true?' is there any reason why he
should tell me something that is not
true or keep from me something that
is true?' =
81 expect, little book, if I were to
say to Dick what have been writing

were paying me false and that was

But l am sure that many a married
