not help him toward the $4,000 posi-
ton with the Adamson corporation.
And that income, in addition to his
other work, doomed larger and larger
as the days went by.
Then he was stunned to receive an
invitation to call upon the corpora
ton.
In his best suit, which Johnson
would have scorned to wear, except
for gardening, perhaps, he made his
way to the big factory downtown
and was shown into the room Of the
president, George Adamson, a fussy
looking old gentleman, who babe him
sit down and examined him with a
very critical gaze.
But Mr.. AdamsOn thaWed percepti-
bly, when his visitor answered the
searching questions that he put to
him. There John Smith knew that
he was on safe ground. His creden-
tials were certainly better than John
sons and AdamsOn acknowledged
himself as highly pleased.
Now let US come to the practical
details, he said. For instanee-We
are speaking conidentiaIy and shall |
regard this as a matter of advice, for |
which / shall offer you the usual fee,
whether you connect yourself with us |
permanently or not. There is an old |
inventor out in Dayton who has
patent that we are very anxious to |
secure. It is an improved method Of |
manufacturing gas furnaces, and if |
we had it it would cut the cost of pro-
duction Is per cent, The old man is
a crank and has an inflated idea Of |
his property. He won't sell for less
than a million, which would mean no
extra profit for us for three years.
Morally we are justified in taking his
patent and manufacturing according
to it's specifications, for the good of
the country. 1t is intOlerable that one
man should keep up the price of gas

moved for an injunction to prevent US
manufacturing while the suit was
pending. How would you go about
stopping it?"
Pay him his million dollars or stop
manufacturing" answered Smith
quietly.
Old Adamson glared at him. ''You
mean" he beloved. Y.
THAT 1 would not be party to-
such a case," answered Smith. mo
doubt you can find men who would.
I am afraid am not the man you
need Good day, sir" And he walked
out of the Office.
You'll hear from US tomorrow
he heard the irate old man below
after him. But the threat passed
over his head. An hour later he was
telling MoIlie all about it.
Dear, you did just right, " she said.
But he saw the tears which she
vainIy tried to conceal and presently
she was weeping unreservedly upon
his knee. And his head was awhirl
with thoughts of going into medicine
or architecture or some other pro-
fession. For there seemed to be no
opening for an honest man in the law.
The next morning when he saw a let
ter from the Adamson people beside
his plate he remembered the presi-
dents threat. He laughed scornfully
as he opened it What could the old
man do? If he threatened him he
would promptly bring, suit for defa-
nation Of character. He, John
Smith, did not intend to allow that
old rufian to ride roughshod over
him.
He opened the envelope. Next mo-
ment he dropped the letter with a
cry.
"MoIIie! He's offered me the job"
he cried in exultatiOn. Then:
