HIS OPPORTUNITY
ey GEORGE MuNsoN.

John and Cynthia were to be mar
ried when John was raised from twen-
ty to twenty-five. But Christmas came,
and John received no notification OF
an increase.
81 think it's a shame, john" said
Cynthia, weepily, as she contemplated
another year Of spinsterdom. why
don't you go to old Hart and tell him
how badly you need the raise? l am
sure you are doing two mems work
in that old Office"
"Why, dear!" exclaimed John,
aghast. "If were to do that they
would simply give me my discharge
Nobody ever goes to Hart. He Is un'
approachable. He has no more SYM
pathy than a stone"
"Oh, John, are you sure you have
enough initiative?" walled Cynthia.
"You know, they never, never pay any
body more than he is willing to take"
81 tell you it's no use. DEAR" John
answered. "You see, understand
conditions there, and So"
And SO that was the way 1t went.
And John toiled at the office all
through the dreary winter, and he had
never had to work so hard before. 1t
was as Cynthia had said. He was do
ing two mems work for Hart.
He began to grow desperate. Hart
was becoming more and more unsym-
pathetic. He practically told John
he was not worth his salt. He limited
at changes in the staff. John began to
study the Sunday newspaper adver.
tisement columns.
On the very first Sunday he saw an
advertisement which seemed to have
been inserted specially for him.
WANTED" it ran, IAN expert in
the wholesale stationery trade, with

That was Johns line. Moreover, he
was sure he knew who 1t was that ad
vertised under the initials P. Q. THAI

rival, who had been engaged In Q cut

in his pocket the price Of an extended
honeymoon tour through the South.
At lunch time the office boy told
John that Hart wanted to see him.
When John entered there was q frown
on Harris forehead that BODIED Ill.
"Mr. Darrell, we have been thinking
of making some changes in the Office,
said Hart. Il have been under the
Impression that you were not alto

sir" said John, respectfully. I'm fact,
IL am sure Of it."
"Then that is the explanation OF this
letter which I received from you this
morning." said Hart. fiinging Johns
missive down on the table.
John felt his blood run cold. 1t was
one thing to leave Hart triumphantly,
to 90 to Quincy; 1t was another to be
kicked out before he had secured an
other position.
"Of course, II you are not satisfied,
Mr.. Darrell" continued Hart, more
blandly, you are at liberty to leave
US. But we are enlarging the depart
ment, and l wanted to get another man
| as assistant preparatory to advancing
you to a higher position at $125."
| Which was not strictly true. Hart
had advertised for another man, but
he had intended to keep John in the
same position at the same salary, and
| all his expressions Of discomfort on
previous days had been directed to-
ward frightening John lest he should
make a demand on him. The new
man was to have superseded John.
"If you like to take the position 1t
is yours, Darrell" continued Hart.
John looked at him in stupefaction.
1t seemed too good to be true. He
was appreciated, then. His employer
! had recognized his years Of service!
Hart turned on the reproachful tap
"If only you had let me know that you
wanted more money. Darrell" he said
"Why, sir, doesn't everybody want
more money!" asked John.
"They do. But those that get It
ask for it. Not that intend to advance
you further--for a year. at least" he
went on, hurriedly. But II you woult
like to start In at $125 next month
you may"
Il want to ask for q couple o.
weeks vacation first. sir" said John
you see, I'm going to be married.
"Why, certainly-certainly, Darrell
said Hart, hastily. Congratulations
I'm sure. Er-good-morning, then"
When John was gone he leaned bacl
In his chair and smiled. He woul'
give the new man Johns salary. AM
John, a married man, would neve
write such letter as the one that ha'
terrified him that morning.
Harris reasoning was sound enough
only he did not reckon on John
mother-in-law. For a wise mother.ir
law is a mans good providence.

NOT AN EXTRAORDINARY FEAT
MARATHON Run" Has Been Duplicated
Many Times by sprinters With No
Great Claim to Fame.

Historians differ by two days In
relation to the date of the battle Of
Marathon, but the weight Of opinion
has been in favor of May 30, 400 years
before the beginning Of the Christian
era. It was a small town, but like
many Of the small towns Of great
wars, it became famous through all
time in history as the turning point
for the forces Of the Athenians.
Marathon is about twenty-eight miles
northeast of Athens, the modern town
being in the midst of a beautiful plain.
Circuitous roads lead around spurs Of
Mounts Pentelicus and Hymettus. ia
nous in Grecian history and poetry.
On this date Miltiades. the great lead
er Of the time Of the Greeks, met, as
the tale is told. 100000 Persians with
only 10000 Greeks. The story Of the
battle is one of the most thrilling In
all history. The Greeks drove the
Persians out of that part of the coun'
try.
In recent years the battle has been
remembered by rather absurd Mara
thon races" the reason for them be
| ing the story Of a runner who sped
/ those % miles without stop for rest
to bring the story to Athens Of the
wonderful victory Of the little army
of Miltiades. which changed the whole
face of affairs between the contendinl
/ Greeks and Persians. The story hat
been disputed Of the feat of this run
ner. but it was challenged by athlete,
in various parts Of America as beinl
no great feat. as Lord Byron proved
that the story Of Leander swimming

Cynthia lived with her mother in
