I'm through"
Roland Dalton looked it. Young,
handsome, well dressed, sober, ener.
getic. mbitious-this had been his
record ''on the Board for two years,
but just now there was in his face an
appalling encouragement.
See here, Jerry" he said to his
trader and manager, there's no need
to publish it, but / don't dare to go
any further. If did. it would be on
baseless credit and I'll take no chance
with other peoples money"
But, sir. we owe nothing, the decks
are clear
And I'm going to quit, while they
are. You follow orders. Pay off
every bill and close up the office. I'll
pay you and Miss Blount a month 8
salary ahead. I'll leave each of you a
frst-class recommendation to Burtelle
& Co. who will be glad Of your serv-
ices. I'm going up into Wisconsin and
get as far away from the hubbub and
worry as can for a month Then ]
think I'll strike out for the coast and
begin all over again"
Loyal Jerry Watson's lips puckered.
Marcia Blount. at the typewriter, was
white as a sheet. Dalton stole a
glance at her and he gulped down a
sigh. Shattered business, a shattered,
though half fedged, romance-it was
pitiful!
Close up the Office and tell any in
quirer that I'm off for rest" pro
ceeded Dalton, but pay everybody

I'm going to leave you"
Edith Kane faced her husband OF
eighteen months defantly. The set
ting for the tragic outbreak was com
monplace; a city fiat In the tiny liv-
ing room the two clashed in that age
long conflict.
Because am poor" inquired Kane
quietly. He had long expected the cul-
mination; now that it had come he felt
cooler than he had thought would be
possible.
His wife looked with contempt upon
the little figure in the shabby clothes
Because you are a clerk, she an
swered. Because you are content to
be clerk. You have a clerk SOUL
and IL was born for something bet
ter than TO be clerks wife"
You knew my occupation when you
married me" said Kane.
Il did" she answered And /
thought Id make something of you
But you're satisfied to work for Jer-
rold day after day, on thirty week,
while he piles up his millions. Oh, I'm
tired of il all.
She sank into chair, put her face
in her hands, and burst into hysteri-
cal weeping. Kane stood for mo
ment watching her. Then he walked
70 her and raised her head from her
hands. fingiDg it back almost bru-

How dare you use violence to mel"
Never mind that ! want to ask

for Jerrold?"
What if am? Have you any right
to ask, you who have made me slave
for you, slave for a clerk"
Her breath came and went quickly.
she rose to her feet and looked at him
with all the disdain she felt

Kane.

Anthrax a Malignant Disease

Anthrax is a disease propagated by
spore which lives in the soil, and it
is almost always contracted first by
domestic animals. II is most fatal to
sheep, but it also causes a regular an.
nual mortality among cattle and
horses.
The anthrax spores may live In the
sell for as much as twenty years, SO
that they are very difficult to eradi-
cate. About the only successful
method OF disinfecting region where
anthrax has gained hold is to flood
the land. The spores will float away
and may be disposed of by this
method, provided the drainage ulti-
mately reaches large river and is
carried to the sea; for they remain &C
tive long time, and IL allowed to set
tie and dry will become actively in
fictitious again.

But, sir. expostulated Jerry,
things aren't SO bad as you think.
We're square. Well. then, how about
the big broomcorn consignment"
Dalton shook his head drearily.

on that and may stay down"
But the ten thousand dollar option,
SIR
I'll lose it rather than take the lot
and involve others in loss. No, I'm

Then Roland Dalton went away,
reckless, desperate. Jerry stood look
ing about him like a lost soul. Miss
Blount was crying softly.

Thank you" said Kane.
He left her and went into his room.
Immediately, before the defiant anger
had left her, she began hurriedly to
pack suitcase. She cast away con-
temptuously the few things her hus-
band had been able to buy for her,
and went out. Kane, in his room,
heard the door of the hall slam behind
her.
Harvey Jerrold, the millionaire bro
ker. was quite willing TO see his un-
derpaid employee in his bachelor
apartment on the drive. He knew
why Kane had not been to the office
for three days. Edith had telephoned
him from her hotel the next morning.

wanted to go to her, but she had re-
fused to see him till he had his quarrel
out with Kane.
They had autoed together and dined
together, the man and his employee 8
wife. but Edith Kane, despite her
worldliness. was prudent and, in a
way, honorable. She had held Jerrold
at arms length, and, even when he
began to talk about her divorce she
had refused TO let him embrace her.
Besides, as every woman knows, il
you really mean man to marry you,
you must go about il with discretion
And, though she cared nothing for
Jerrold, Edith Kane was resolved to
have the spending Of his millions.
Jerrold had been on pins and needles
because Kane did not appear. He had
even meditated going TO him; there.
fore, when Kane was announced by
the Japanese butler, he felt his hear,
leap triumphantly. He had squared all
accounts with money, and he had nc
doubt that he could square Kane in
the same way.
He stood in his room waiting fol
him with an uneasy but yet confident
smile And Kane wasted no time il
coming to the point.
