She was getting discouraged, for the agency folks seemed to have no desire to get her away from the hard benches upon which the applicants for positions sat stoically waiting summons to duty.
 As she glanced across the street she saw her erstwhilc employer, Mir. Law ton, hastening toward her.

 She could see the two men talking together. the younger apparently an- swering questions, and from time to time the elder placed a hand on his shoulder. After time they turned and came toward her slowly, and MT. Andrews spoke.
 Thanks to you. Miss Kiernan." he said. smiling upon her, "l have been able to convey some very good news to your friend here"
 He laid a hand on JaStom's arm.
 This young man." he went on. "is. without doubt. an heir to n very large fortune. the estate of his uncles for whom he was named. It was, you see, the peculiarity of the name which at tracted me in Mir. Lawton's letter. His
