His Needless
Fears
By
H. M. EGBERT

Copyright. 1915. by w. G. Chapman.)
The man who gets his salary from
q distant city lives under the Damo-
clean sword. Jenkins was no excep-
ton to this rule. The leather COM
pany employed agents in several
towns. and Jenkins. newly posted at
Sequah, drew his forty dollars weekly
out of the mailed letter with fear and
trembling. What if the company
should suddenly dispense with him?
Once the letter failed to arrive, and
jenkins, who always waited for the
check to pay his weekly bills, was in
despair.
To complicate matters there was
Mrs. Jenkins, frail, weakly woman
without the least ability to earn a
living if anything happened to her
husband. jenkins had this possibility
upon his mind all the time. To crown
his troubles, he was "one- job man.
He had been with the leather com
pany, which was soulless concern,
since he entered their service as an

and retiring, he did not see the ghost
of chance to earn anything if ever
he lost his position.
No, that did not crown his troubles,
but he had another trouble mixed with
joy, the two so interviewer that he
did not know where one began and
the other ended Laura, in the local
hospital, had presented him with a
boy, their first child. Jenkins had
looked in awe, and partly in fear, at
the extremely red atom of humanity,
then at his wife's weak figure. He
saw the radiant happiness of mother
hood upon her face.
At such a moment most men would

have thought of anything but material
things. But into jenkins brain there
flashed an appalling thought. He re-
membcred that, having paid the hos
pital bill for only one week ahead, he
had exactly twelve dollars in the
world.
Suppose the check failed to arrive
next day!
He passed sleepless night. In the
morning he waited for the postman
with growing panic.
The usual letter from the leather
company was in his mail. But it was

desperately hoping to see the familiar
pink check flutter out. Instead there
came a formal notification:
"As you are by this time doubtless
aware, we have decided to discontinue
our agency in Sequah. You will there
fore close the office pending the ar
rival of our representative, who will
take charge of the stock and fixtures"
jenkins let the letter flutter to the
floor. He put the rest of the mail,
unopened. in his pocket, and went au-
tomatically up to the hospital. It was
always his habit to notify Laura when
any unexpected event occurred. But
when he looked at her he could not
tell her. He thrust the letters upon
the table. hardly knowing what he
was doing. kissed her with trembling
lips, and went away
