HIS OPPORTUNITY
BY 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? ] am
sure you are doing two mems work
In that old Office"
'Why, dear!" exclaimed John,
aghast. IF l were to do that they
would simply give me my discharge.
Nobody ever goes to Hart. He is I'M
approachable. He has no more SYM
patty than a stone"
"Oh, John, ara you sure you have
enough initiative?" walled Cynthia.
you know, they oever, never pay any
body more than he is willing 20 take. .
q tell you it's no use, DEAR" John
answered. "You see, understand
conditions there, and So"
And so THAI was the way it went.
Ana John tnled at the Office all
Though the $eeary winter, and he had
nSyer had t. work so hard before. 1t
was as Cynthia had said. He was do
Jig 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
complete knowledge of stock. A
young man of not more than five and
twenty years, who is willing to work
up with an old-established firm. Sal

That was Johns line. Moreover, ne
was sure he knew who it was that ad
vertised under the initials P. @. That
must be Quincy, Harris chief business

Victims Of the Drug Habit.

According to recent estimate Of
the United States public health serv-
ice, the number of persons in this
country who are victims of the drug
habit is about 10000, and the number
of doses of narcotic drugs consumed
by them annually is about S50,000,000.
This estimate is based on figures col
lected in the state OF Tennessee where
under a recently enacted antinarcotic
law 1,403 permits we're issued in six
months to persons petitioning for the
privilege of using narcotic drugs, and
the consumption of such drugs amount
ed to S,49S,200 average doses.

throat competition with him for years
How he would welcome man with
Johns experience, especially when he
was taking him away from Hart!
CynthiA lived with her mother in a
tiny uptown apartment. When John
had read the advertisement he hurried
round to consult with the ladies. John
was a fsvorite of Mrs Barton's; she
had beea as eager as a girl about the
marriage, and its postponement had
been litter disappointment to her.
I'm going to write Quincy a strong
letter." said John. Il feel sure that |
can get that position, only-Im not
much OF hand at blowing my own
trumpet"
"You are too difident, my dear
john" said the old lady. Let us put
our heads together and see whether
we can't show up your good qualities.
If we can't, nobody can"
A little praise from Mrs. Barton, a
little teader love from Cynthia, little
eagerness on Johns part, and touch
of bitterness at the memory of Hart,
and the following letter was produced:
In answer to your advertisement, !
beg to say that / think am just the
man fer the position. am twenty
FIVE years of age and wish to make a
change. ! am at present employed in
Wholesale stationery house and have
complete knowledge of the business.
/ am planning to leave because / am
worth at least s125 month and am
getting less wish to enter the serv-
ice of an enterprising firm that knows
a GOOD man when 1t has him, and if
you Will accord me an interview be-
love we can come to terms"
The last sentence, to which John
demurred, was the product Of Mrs.
Barton's brain.
It seemed to the women Just the
sort Of letter calculated to appeal
psychologically to Quincy. They said
SO and John was forced to agree.
He watched Hart narrowly the next
morning. Somehow he felt as If a
vast load had been lifted off his mind.
He no longer feared Hart, he no longer
dreaded to go into the little booth
where he had his desk. Threats would
cave John unmoved. He dreamed
away the morning, in fancy seeing
himself at the altar with Cynthia, and
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1915-07-02

in his pocket the price Of sn extende0
honeymoon tour through the South.
At lunch time the Office boy told
John that Hart wanted to see him.
When John entered there was a frown
on Harris forehead that BODIED i'll.
"Mr. Darrell, we have been thinking
of baking some changes in the Office"
sid Hart. Il have been under the
impression that you were not alto
gether satisfied with your position
here"
mo, sir" said John.
"Eh? What's that?" snapped Hart,
looking at him menacingly. "You
aren't? Why didn't you tell me?"
Il think / am worth more money,
sir" sard John, respectfully. In fact,
I'll am sure of it,"
Then that is the explanation of this
letter which received from you this
morning" said Hart, finging Johns
missiye down on the table.
John felt his blood run cold. 1t was
one thing to leave Hart triumphantly,
to go to Quincy; it was another to be
kicked out before he had secured an
other position.
"Of course. if 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 wanted to get another man
as assistant preparatory to advancing
you to a higher position at 1925"
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 it
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 year. at least" he
went on. hurriedly. But If you would
like to start in at $125 next month
you may"
/ Il want to ask for a couple Of
weeks vacation first, sir" said John.
"You see, I'm going TO be married
| why, certainly, DarreJi,"
said Hart, hastily. Congratulations,
I'm sure. good-morning, then"
When John was gone he leaned back
in his chair and smiled. He would
| give the new man Johns salary. And
John, a married man. would never
write such letter as the one that had
terrified him that morning
Harris reasoning was sound enough;
only he did not reckon on Johns
mother-in-law. For wise mother-in
law is alnan's good providence.
