ANDERSON'S SUCCESS
BY CLARA lNEZ DEACON.

"The Industrial Iron Works. read
the big sign on the big shop after the
painter had finished his work.
For fifteen years the sign had read;
flames Alexander" but partner had
been taken in. To the surprise Of
many the partner was young Boone
Walters, only twenty-five years old,
and knowing nothing whatever of the
business, or any other business. An
aunt had died and left him legacy.
and he had offered to invest $4,000.
James Alexander, the founder, was q
hard-working man. He paid his debts
and had the best of credit, and the
business was apparently doing well
when the change WAS made.
Two reasons had actuated him In
making the change. The one was
readily guessed by the women-the
Dther was not even limited at by the
men.
For almost year young Walters
had been an admirer Of Kitty Alexan-
der, daughter Of the man Of whom he
had become partner. He had re-
ceived no more encouragement than
half dozen young men, and had not
therefore reached the point where he
dared state his feelings. His personal
appearance and character we're good,
and his family ranked we'll socially,
and there were those who said It would
make a match. When It was known
that he had become partner there
were winks and smiles.
III the father will take him for
partner why won't the daughter? A
partner first-a son-in-law next" was
said.
They were wrong. The father was
little given to social matters, and the
mother was an invalid. He knew that
young Walters was one of the callers
at his house, but he had no hint that
ne was a sutton as. we'll He would
nave welcomed partnership with any
man, old or young, just at that time.
Men always sneer when a business
woman" Is spoken Of, and should
widow lose 500 in some speculation,
they are ready with the words:
Serves her just right! Any man
could have told her she would lose
her money!"
But how Is It that every year scores
and scores of business men who have
made a success and are still doing
finely, are cajoled into investments of
worthless stock and lose their all?
After long years Of hard work and
good management, and a profit to be
proud OF, Mr.. Alexander was unable to
let well enough alone, The takers gath
cred him in and despoiled him, and he
was on the point of bankruptcy when
young Walters came along with the

morrow to be built after, and we must
draw up written agreement with
Guy"
Not one word of encouragement
from Walters. He as good as turned
his back on the whole thing. This at
titude caused the senior partner to say
, to his daughter when he got home:
Kitty, | can't understand young
Walters at all. Have you two had a
quarrel?"
NO father. We are not intimate
enough for that. Did you go to see
Mr. Anderson's invention this after
noon?"
Just got back"
The thing had been talked Of in the
/ home, and the girl had seemed greatly
interested. She was told that Guy had
succeeded, and what the attitude Of
young Walters had been, and little
more was said. She knew where
young Andersons home was, and she
knew that the model was to be left in
his shop over night At ten o'clock
that night she said to the coachman,
who sat in the kitchen:
Thomas, have horse and buggy In
the alley in Just an hour from now"
Yes, miss"
"You are to go with me for short
drive. Bring lantern"
The drive was half ended when they
reached the shop holding the model.
In his trust of his fellow-men Guy had
not locked the door. 1t was Miss Kitty
herself who got out Of the buggy and
entered the place and brought out the
model and the drawings.
Its robbery and states prison!"
! whispered the coachman.
mot unless you are caught" she
laughed.
Half an hour later a second rig
drove up to that same shop, and the
driver of it gave grunt Of satisfac.
ton as he descended and found that
he would not have to break lock.
Ten minutes later he was cursing as
he drove away.
There was a great row next morn
ing. Young Walters charged young
Anderson with stealing his own prop
erty that he might deal with other
parties; young Anderson resented the
imputation by knockdown blow; Mr..
Alexander said the partnership must
be dissolved, and Miss Kitty went to
an uncle who had money and told him
OF the invention and got him to buy
the junior partner out.
That invention has made a carload
OF money for the owners. And did
Miss Kitty become robber just to see
how 1t would seem?

named Guy Anderson. He was work
ing for wages, and his father was also
a mechanic. The young man was a
natural genius In the line Of mechan-
les. He had been sent to the house
to repair music-box and other things,
and now and then was to be met at
some social event where the line as to
wealth was not too strictly drawn. He
was fairly well educated, and had the
manners of a gentleman.
One day, after the shop had been
running under the new management
for couple of months, young Ander-
son sought an interview with Mr.. Alex
ander to say:
While in butcher shop this morn
ing | saw the butcher chopping up
meat with cleaver in either hand. He
wanted it fine, and it took him twenty
minutes of steady work to make 1t so. .
"Well?"
III there were a machine that would
grind three times the weight OF meat
he was chopping, and do 1t better, and
in five minutes, wouldn't the butchers
and hotels buy them?"
Lord, man, such a machine would
make the manufacturer of 1t million
aire within five years."
Il believe can invent one"
go ahead and make your drawings.
II the machine will work 1t will make
US both rich"
Boone Walters had stood by and
heard the conversation, but had not
put In word. As matter Of fact he
had antagonized Guy the first week he
began to boss things. and would gladly
have discharged him II he could have
found an excuse.
III Guy does succeed 1t will be great
for us," said Mr.. Alexander, after the
mechanic had left the Office.
HE may be smart enough" was
the mean reply.
But he will invent 1t. He Is a
genius, and the most valuable hand in
the shop"
Walters had no more to say, but he
made mental resolve that BODIED no
good for the genius.
Young Anderson had converted an
old barn at his home into a shop, and
there, secure from outsiders, he pre-
pared his drawings and made his
model In his spare hours and by giving
his Sundays to it. There came day
when he could announce at the shop
that everything was ready for trial.
The partners. one OF them scarcely
daring to believe, and the other hoping
for failure. accompanied Guy home.
In ten minutes 1t was settled that
the invention was success, and Mr..
Alexander danced around in his ex-
citement and slapped Walters on the
back and shouted:
Il told you he would do it and he

surly reply.

money 10 save aim. No one knew
what close call he had had. When
the partnership had been consum-
mated a thought came to him, and he
said to Kitty:
q suppose you have heard of the
change at the works? ?"
Yes, and | was going to ask you
about it"
Young Walters has become my
partner"
But why he? He is not business
man"
Well, he had the money, and I
guess he can run the Office part all
right. ! think shall like the young
