"I know it's dogs job. But l don't
know who else l can spare. So"
"No," said Morgan, grinning. 81 don't
have to if l don't want to-so guess
will"
TT was in that spirit that he progressed.
As each unwelcsme assignment came to
him, he transformed it, subconsciously,
into something that he especially wanted
to do, and do well. The little pile of bills
at the First National armored his every
resolution.
On each one of those occasions which,
in the past, would have strengthened his
intention to give up a useless struggle, he
now fell into the habit of communing with
himself:
Here's a job don't like. don't hare
to do it. l can quit any minute. They
don't own me here. Wells it worth
quitting for? Not much it isn't! Maybe
they thought I'd crack under the strain.
They only want the pluggers, do they?
III show 'em something! Humph! Think
they can make me quit, do they? Watch
mel"
And so, sustained and soothed by the
moral support of money in the bank. he
proceeded to take unto himself all the
most difficult. all the most thankless. all
the most extraordinary items in very
comprehensive routine.
Honestly he said to Hancock, SIN
getting to feel as if the plant belonged to
me. Queer, isn't it?'
His friend Hancock granted that it was
indeed queer. In the initial stages, en-
gagged men aren't usually SO alert. But
Hancock was pleased, and, because his
former leaning toward the ministry had
perhaps convinced him Of the truth of the
ministerial theory that all reforms origi-
nate in the pulpit, he modestly said that
if his long talks on the subject had helped
Morgan to clearer insight, he was
deeply gratitied.

incest girl he had ever known. One of
the primary causes of his great admiration
of her was that, although her father was
distinctly q capitalist, she was infinitely
more pleased by bunch of violets than
by dozen or two Of American Beauties;
and she was also so active and vivacious
that almost any time she would rather
walk in City Park than sit in two-dollar
entresol. She belonged to cooking class,
and was taking course in domestic sci
ence; and the mere coincidence that she
went to her lessons in twelve-cylinder
runabout doesn't imply lack of sincerity
in her motives.
TONIGHT she preferred to stay indoors
and talk; and Morgan found himself,
as usual, telling her his problems and his
accomplishments, and enjoying himself
hugely at no expense save an occasional
shortening of the breath and dangerous
futtering of the heart. He didn't tell her
of his discovery Of yesterday, but he did
confess the shattering of his financial
hopes, and he got for it somewhat more
sympathy than he really deserved.
"Still," she said zone doesn't get the
worthwhile things without working for
them, Sheldon. Success isn't to be picked
up in the street.
Morgan started and flushed.
"Of course not, he conceded.
"And over at the factory-I know
something about it, you see-they only
want the very strongest, the very most
determined men. It's the same principle
as they use at West Point-they're simply
trying you out. And you're so young"
"I'm not as young as all that"
"And it is hard to come straight from
college to strange city where you hadn't
any friends-I don't wonder that you're
depressed sometimes
"It's the uncertainty said Morgan.
II don't know what I'm working for. l
haven't anything to drive me ahead. And
this steady plugging, with barely enough
to live on-well, once in while it gets
my nerve
II know" Her smile was vastly en-
couraging.
"If l only had something definite to
work for"
He left the sentence unfinished as he
met her eyes. At a single glance the
worldly considerations of wealth, OF po-
sition of achievement went by the board;
and the pair sat breathless on equal terms.
"Anita" said Morgan, in a voice unex-
pectedly gone uncomfortable.
Her hands closed upon the arms of her
chair with sudden tenseness; the look in
her eyes was a revelation to him.
"Anita!' he said, moistening his lips
"Why-Anita If it hadn't been for you
couldn't have stood it this long. If l
thought there were one chance in a
million There was a period of con-
strained silence. as there?" he asked
under his breath.
The girl nodded slowly, averting her
face from him.
Morgan swallowed hard.
"And you know how long it may take?
You know l haven't anything except my
salary? 1t may be three or four years"
Il know she said, almost inaudibly.
@And you'd be willing to waltz
Again she nodded. Morgan went to
her. She rose to meet him. He took both
her hands and held them tightly between
his own.
aThen-I want you to know he said
unsteadily, "that I'm going to make good
for you'll I'm going to! They can't stop

In the meantime he worked diligently,
and spent the majority of his evenings
with girl whose confidence was essen
TALLY stimulating.
The stated margin of three months
brought him no information. Bewildered
by his good fortune, of which he hadn't
yet breathed word to any one, not even
to Anita, he declared to his conscience
that he was lawfully entitled to hundred
per cent. for salvage. The notes, how
ever, he didn't remove from safe deposit.
Mentally he had transferred them to his
own account, but he still carried in the
back of his head remote suspicion that
without warning he might sometime be
summoned for report of his steward
ship. Within twenty-four hours after the
constructive transfer, he began to con-
strue in new light his employment at the
motor factory.
Between voluntary and involuntary
labor, with the corresponding measures
of pleasure and of depression at the task,
there is wide division of efficiency. A
hundred days ago Morgan had gone to
his toll with loathing, inspired partly by
the poor return he had from it, After his
sudden engagement he labored desper-
ately, for the sake of the future, without
altering his distaste for the character of
the work itself.
Now, for the first time, he felt eclectic.
He had twenty-five hundred dollars
slowed away at the First National. He
said to himself that il he couldn't discern
good prospects in the motor company he
needn't stay there.
He proceeded calmly to analyze him
self and his relation toward the organi-
zation.
1t was at this juncture that he was
detailed to the inventory squad for the
most cordially hated operation of the
year.
"If you don't want to do it, you don't
have to- said his immediate superior.

his ambitions against the
facts.
He wasn't natural salesman, and he
knew it. He also knew that selling ex-
perience was Of vital Importance for
man who expected to advance far in this
field.
No one could dictate to him; no one
could compel him to go on the road.
If he resigned to-day, he needn't
starve. He had bulwark; he was in
dependent.
He drew long breath and looked up.

said.
The teller made the
customary tests, and
pushed it back.
"I'll give you
ninety-nine dollars for
it myself--and make
a profit"
"Thank you," said
Morgan. He inclosed
the twenty-five bank
notes in a thick en-
velop, and saw them
under lock and key.
If, during subsequent
nights, he continued
to sleep poorly, the
cause must be attrib-
uted to some reason
other than the natural
wakefulness of a guar
dian of trust funds.
BUT at the end Of a
fortnight the ele-
ment of time had
somewhat atrophied
his earlier solicitude.
He had used every
means in his power
to fulfil his quasi
contract with the un-
named Crmsus, and
hehad failed honestly.
Little by little he
began to harbor the
natural presumption
that findings arekeep-
ings. He put a hy-
pothetical question to
a legal acquaintance,
and learned that al
ready he had carried
out his obligations
under the statutes.
Nevertheless, he told
himself that he'd wait
three months before
he gave up hope Of

tack him. Royce fell into an attitude
of self-defense, but smiled and spoke
soothingly and put out his hand. The
chief took it. He was good sports
man and so was Royce.
Gloria looked from Royce to the
picture of Freneau in her locket. A
terrible doubt of Freneau assailed her.
She seized Royce by the arm and
dragged him to one side, demanding:
ut was you that saved me. Why
didn't you tell me?"
Royce looked sheepish and shrug-
ged his shoulders. He did not know
just what to say. Gloria looked at
the locket with hideous new suspicion,
then turned and hurried away with
tears springing to her eyelids.
Royce stared after her adoringly.
Gloria wandered far down the beach
alone. She was in hopeless frame
OF mind. She dropped to the sand
brooding over the crumbling of her
hero's glory. From the, sea the ghost
of Freneau seemed to come to her
and, kneeling by her, take her in his
arms. She thrust him away, crying
Coward! Cad! Liarr
The ghost retreated sadly into the
sea. Gloria wept over the picture in
her locket.

Gloria turned to him with the old
question:

Gloria studied him with longing
to believe in Freneau. He did not
finch She thanked him and he rose
sadly and walked away. He had lied
to her because he loved her. But his
heart was almost bursting with pro-
test against the sacrifice.
When he had gone, Gloria put out
her arms to the sea. crying:
Dick, Dick, forgive my suspicious
and come back TO me"
From the waves Freneau seemed to
come forth again and, sitting down
beside her, take her in his arms. She
wept, then rose and accompanied by
his ghost, moved slowly and sadly
along the beach.
