For a moment the wild hope came to
Littlefield that he was going to be
discharged. What irony! If so, he
need only accept his dismissal and
walk straight out, the bag in his
hand! That would indeed be retribu7
ton, and a counter blow to the mis-
cradle fate that logged him.
Johnson looked up. "Well, Mr..
Lttlefield, you don't look very hap
py,' he said. You seem to go about
your work with a perpetual glover
at least when 1 meet you"
Was he playing with him? Or was
this the preliminary to his discharge?
Littlefeld's hopes grew.
"Put your bag on the table, Mr. Lit
tlefeld," continued Johnson. ''You
look as though you were afraid I was
going to open it. Come set it down
beside me-never mind these
papers"
Littlefield flung the bag down de-
family and stood facing his tormen-
tor. Johnson arose slowly, and sud
denly clapped his hand on the others
shoulder. Lttlefield knew then that
the truth was known. He listened as
in a dream.
We've been looking over your rec
ord since you came here, Mr.. Little
field" said Johnson, "and it makes a
very creditable showing. Mr.. Sleigh,
you know, is leaving to accept the
cashiers position with Brown & Sea-
gull. We are going to promote you
to his place at the salary which al
ways goes with 1.-TWO thousand to
start and an annual increase of a
hundred up to twenty-five hundred"
Littlefeld still stared at him; he had
not yet understood.
$50 you see," continued johnson,
''we have not failed to recognize the
zeal that you have shown in our in
terests. may tell you in confidence
that there was much difficulty in de-
Gliding between you and another

mo, sir; no." blurted out Little
field. 81 must have given false i'm
press. I"
81 am indeed glad to hear it, an
swered Johnson, wringing the other
hand warmly. "And now permit me
to offer you my best and sincerest
congratulations"
Littlefield found himself outside
the Office again. He walked idly to-
ward the door. He did not quite
know where he was going. He was
recalled to himself by Jacks, who
thrust a letter into his hand
"Just come, sir" said Jacks, smil-
ing. Littlefield looked hard at the
porter. Why, he was the acme, Of
friendliness. What had been the
matter with him? Had he, Little
field, been seeing everything through
the mirror Of his morbid and perVert-
ed mind?
He tore open the envelope with
trembling fingers. The letter was
from Lucy.
'eMy dearest" it ran, forgive me a
thousand times for my unkindness to
you. 1 was so hurt by whatyou said''
here Lfttlefeld remembered the
cause of their quarTeE"but ] see
now how wrong was when you have
always been so kind and good. 1
trust you as every one trusts you.
You are the soul of honor"
A rush of tears blinded the mans
eyes. He could not read the letter
further, then. So it was all in his
own mind, everything, the sense of.
Injustice, the quarrel with Lucy,
Johnson's assumed unfriendliness,
Jacks antipathy-a1 his fears and
wrongs and injuries
. He took his bag and crept back in
to the cashiers cage.

said Mabel. looking at Mary's and
Anne's.

Enulish Coal Elelda

The coal fields of Northumberland
and Durham counties claim to be the
Oldest in production of any coal fields
in England. It is a historical fact
that these fields have been worked for
at least 700 years. Every kind Of
coal, with the exception Of anthracite,
Is found in these two counties. North
cumberland coal is best known for its
steam-producing qualities. but it is
also used in the homes and in manu-
featuring plants. Durham coal il
used for the same purpose. but It is
better known for its gas and coke pro-
ducing qualities. It is estimated that
one-tenth Of the population of Durham
county IL connected. in some capacity,
with that industry, and that the
county's output Of coal in 1918 was
valued at the pits mouth at 100000.

FISHING SHORES READY
FOR THE SPRING SEEMING
Run of Shad and Herring I'm
usually Late Coming North This
Season-Receipts Increasing.

Within the next day or two it is ex-
pected that the haul senes at Stony
point and Chapman's fishing shores will
be put overheard, but unless more nsh

start operations, and by this afternoon
1t is said here. everything will be in
shape to start work.
Shad and herring we're looked for in
the Potomac not later than the first

parently plentiful in the lower river, but
few have been caught by the big seine
at Ferry Landing, near Mount Vernon
which has been in operation for several
days. The fishermen say when the fish
start coming up the river they will come
with rush and big catches of herring
will be made.
Usually at this time the season is in
full swing. and the lighters that bring
the fish from Ferry Landing to the mar
ket here are III service and make two
trips i'll every twenty-four hours between
the shore and the 18th street wharf
Yesterdays receipts of herring were the
heaviest 50 far this season. about 1o5.o0o
