THE TEST

II Dan Gibbs had been an experienced
burglar instead of q bungling amateur,
perhaps the window would not have
squeaked so shrilly in protest against his
intruding. For a moment he stopped.
trembling excitedly and shivering with
cold. and then no sound issuing from
the great house, he dragged the other
leg over the window silk and ventured
into the interior.
But again his lack of schooling in the
burglars craft tripped him. He opened
n door and entered, then stopped short,
his face whitening as he blinked at the
dim light in the loom. He felt a sudden
weakness in the region OF the knees and
a numbing feeling Of defeat and utter
loss stiffeaed his limbs as he strove to
turn and fee
"How dye do?'' he inquired sheepishly.
II was an inane utterance, coming from
the lips Of a man contemplating burg
larry. but Dan Gibbs could think of MOTH
ing more fitting &c say in response to the
questioning of the steel-gray eyes OF the
man seated at the library table.
The mans thin lips curled into cold
smile. His tousled hair was sprinkled
with gray, and there were hard lines of
worry and suffering in the pinched face.
Gibbs stared perplexedly; he could not
understand that expression OF grief in
the face Of one surrounded by wealth and
splendor.
'.Sit down." ordered the man, point
ing to a chair across the table. Gibbs
advanced tremblingly and sank into the
soft embrace of the easy-chair The man
regarded him curiously as he toyed with
the revolver that had emphasized his
command In front of him stood a
tumhIer half filled with a brownish
liquid.
Il thought heard you coming" he
said You were looking for the safe.

IT just happened that-but never mind. |
Tell me why you're a thief"
Gibbs wondered why, instead of QCes- |
tioning him, he did not hand him over |
to the police. The strange manner of
the man he had meant to rob inspired |
him with vague hope.
Guess you wouldn't understand he |
mumbled, glancing at the evidence of |
wealth and ease in the room. But a look |
ut the mans face strengthened his flutter |
of hope; there was an expression in it |
that somehow gave Gibbs a blurred i'm |
preston OF one whose heart, like his |
own. had been bruised by suffering. dis /
appointments and withered hopes.

into the others inquisitive eyes feeling .
that he must make him believe.
Aren't you sorry?'
For a moment lie trembled on Gibbs
lips. NO" he said fighting back the
temptation, Il don't believe I am. I'd
do it again-a thousand times IL I had
to. You see." he added in a voice that
begged for belief in his story, my wife

The argument of this. article refers
exclusively to the Office or place OF
business, and not to the home.
The average worker is at work at
least one-third of the time, and dur
ing rather more than half of his
waking hours.
There is no reason why the neat
ness and order of the home should
not prevail in the Office or in the
workshop. and there is nothing which
makes labor easier and pleaSanter
than habitual order and neatness.
The over-flled or cluttered desk
means just so much extra labor.
The accumulation of unified letters
and other articles stands for addition
al work and is responsible for much
business nervousness, fret, and wor-
~.
No one can work as well, as effect
lively, or as easily, in dusty, ill-kept
Office as he can where there is order
and cleanliness.
Probably more than three-quarters
of our offices and workshops are
untidy, and many of them are in
state which is positively disgracetul
Comparatively little of this untidinesS
or lack of order has a tangible ex-
cuse for its existence.
The orderly employe, the one who
takes care of everything with which
he comes in contact. is marked man,
and his efforts will be appreciated
even by a disorderly employer.
Being busy or rushed is not an ex-
cuse for disorder, for disorder means
more work and harder work.
Time is saved by filing letters daily,
by doing the days business as it
comes. To neglect to do this means

chaos and a large amount of ad-
ditional work in the end.
| am not suggesting that one make
a fad of order or carry system to
excess, for there is such a thing as
over-order, which works as disas-
trously as does disorder.
Order is one of the necessities of
business. 1t stands for personal salts
faction, for effectiveness, and for
economy.
Let us suppose, for example, that
you are an office boy, and that you
are required to keep the Office in
order. If you would rise from the
ranks, if you would earn promotion,
look upon your work as the highest
duty within the grasp of your present
opportunity, and gain the reputation
of being the most orderly office boy
in the building or on the street. Soon
er or later your endeavors will be
recognized, and you will pass with
leaps and bounds those of your fellow
employees who are slack and indif-
ferent to order.
While on the lower round of the
ladder you have no opportunity to do
great things; conditions will keep you
down for a while; but, if you make
the most of what you have, if you
earn a reputation for doing little
things well, you will find yourself
marked for promotion.
Many an orderly clerk has been
placed above those who are his
superiors in natural ability, because
the latter did not attend to their
menial duties, but forgot the present
i'll thinking about the future.
Order is one of the fundamental
laws of civilization and of progress.
Without it the wagon of business
wobbles on its way.

face quivering.
The man thrust forth his hand. Thank
