Mr.. Tcwnbred fell to with will
Had no expended that much energy

was growing there would surely have
been no doubt about his ears outclass-
ing those of Johnson and Smith.
Eventually, by a process Of elimina-

in and gloated over the harvest, but
wisely refrained from stating which

later, while the business Of the cor

Mr.. Townbred held out for size, since
his ears were noticeably the largest;

who worked for him. So he cleared
his Desk and gave up whole Morning
to the task. Also, this Hero of ours
was assigned the Task of escorting
the applicants into the Presence.
And he sure was in his Element!
One glance at his Respectful Should
ers and his Awed Eyes sent Hot Chills
down the spines of each Applicant as
he Opened the Door for him. Straight
way, he figured, the whole bunch must
be impressed with the Dignity of the
Office. And he was Some Impressor!
With the applicant before the Pres
ence, our Hero would retreat just the
Proper number Of steps and stand Re-
spectful-like ready and waiting for the
next order from the Boss. AS the
interview proceeded. his Countenance
was an Index to the pain which some
of the answers caused-and he felt
like himself Apologizing to the Boss
for having let such Specimen In.

Morning young man who hadn't been
waiting in the Ante-room. but who had
Blown In like a Cyclone. shOuldered
his way past Our Hero and Stalked
Right In, with no other Excuse than
a Grin for his Forwardness. Our Hero
was aghast; and he wouldn't have been
one bit Surprised had the floor opened
and Swallowed the Sacrilegious One
But nothing Of the sort Happened.
Instead the Upstart pushed boldly in
and said, Good morning." to the Boss,
in q voice that was Audible.
Then Shot back his Answers
even faster than the Boss could Fire
his Questions, managing also to Throw
in a Boost for himself about every
fifth word. To Our HERDS horror, the
Boss not only Stood for 1t but actually
seemed Interested.
Presently when the time came for
the Handwriting Test, Our Hero was
right on the job In Quietly and Apollo
getically showing forward the Pen and
Paper.
The Sacrilegious One seized the pen
and carelessly Dashed Off his Name
and Address and Flipped 1t over so
tho Boss could get Squint at 1t.
Goodness" exclaimed the Boss. rs
this a Fair Sample Of your Penman-
ship, young mani"
Tho Upstart looked at the Boss a
moment, Full in the Eye, and
Grinned.
"Oh, no SIR" he replied. II can
write Worse than that"
Our Hero tainted.
The Sacrilegious One got the Job.
Today he is Sales Manager-because
he's got Pep and Originality and
Nerve.
And Our Hero is still Pussy Footing

The Debuta11te Prepares for Action

!
II she can hardly speak. A few
moro weeks-you may say a
- few moro days-and she'll be
launched into the very midst Of So
ciety, no longer a school girl, but a
woman Of the world.
The debutante's gowns are all ready.
They hang In her closet hcadless like
Bluebeard's unhappy wives, and she
pays surreptitous visits to them and
dreams Of the victories to be achieved
| by them.
There's the diaphanous gown which
she Is to wear at the dance her par
ents are giving for her the last of Oc-
tober; her really, rightly coming out
ball. 1t Is all of tuilc-frst n layer
of tho most delicate lavender, then
one OF pink, then one of blue, then
one Of white, giving the effect of
particularly dainty rainbow The deb
utantc gives its swirly skirts o. twir!
and sees herself belle.
Next Is the frock she will wear to
the first German. which is so to speak,
the trying-out place Of the debs. 1t is
of white satin like a brides gown and
there is a tiny Jacket Of tulle, and
bits OF silver here and there. Silver
slippers and stockings go with it.
IF I'm wall-fower af that German
will destroy myself" says the deb
utante grmly. IT will not be satisfied
even If every dance is taken: 1 want
to divide each one into bits"
The next gown is her mothers idea
Of compromise. The debutanto had
wanted a black frock. She fancied
herself trailing sable robes after her
long slim figure, but when she had
suggested 1t her maternal parent had
laughed until she cried

which is lost!
On arrival at the office the next day
he went straight to the bulletin board
TO say Good morning" to his exhibit.
There was quito a crowd of other
employees around it, and they were
laughing. Johnson was there and SO
was Jones, and both of them were
rather red of face; also, they seemed
to be the butt Of good bit Of kidding.
The moment the fellows espied Town
bred they swooped down upon him
and dragged him before the board.
And there, tackled right beside his
own priced exhibit and tied with baby
blue ribbon. were two Of the smallest,
meanest. scrawniest. measliest ears Of
corn that have ever been recognizable
as members of the corn family.
Underneath was the card Of A.
Wexford Smithers, the office wag. with
bit Of not bad doggerel 20 the effect
that he with only a two-by-four back
yard had really raised said scrawny
ears himself by the sweat of his own
brow. and that Johnson and Town
bred and Smith. as fishermen, had
been known to buy fish when they
wouldn't bite; wherefore. as agricul-
turists. why should it be considered
beyond Thorn to slip something to an
obliging farmer; at all events. said A.
Wexford Smithers dehed them 20
provo that their exhibits were solely
the work Of their own hands, etc.
Just then the Old Man happened in
in good humor And, etraightway,
he was minded to take a hand IN the
proceedings. Now, once the Old Man
conceived practical Joke, he was
ruthless. SO he needs must halo the
culprits before him one at time and
put them on the witness stand.
Johnson finally admitted. under
