while it was understood that they were
engaged.
Now if Dick had had any decency
he would have refrained from COM
menting on this situation. Instead of
which he went to Sammy.
''Folks are saying that you and
Myrtle Ravens are going to hit it of
together" he said.
Sammy turned white, and for the
first time in his life he experienced q
desire to strike Chester. But he only
assented.
swell, I hope everything will turn
out all right" said Dick. "Myrtle's
oil right in her way. A little slow,
though. Sammy, want to borrow a
thousand dollars. And I don't want
the old man to know. It's pretty ex.
pensive ut the club, and I've dropped
a good deal at poker lately. Let me

ey to Dick. But he lent him the thou.

Endorsed the note so that the loss
might fall on him if there were any.
Dick could not pay. He renewed the
note and then failed. Sammy paid the
money. A month later Dick came ia
him again.
SAMMY" he said, give got the
chance Of a lifetime to make a fortune
Lend me two thousand more"
Sammy refused, and Dick went pur
pie with Indignation.
"What's the matter?" he yelled
"Ain't my name good enough? Say
are you going to take advantage of me
just because you know the old mar
and don't hit it off?''
II don't feel justified in making yor
the loan," said Sammy.
'"Then lend it to me yourself You're
as rich as Croesus," clustered Dick.
"Can't," answered Sammy. Ant
Dick surveyed him with a malevolent
glare.
"All right" he sneered. II guess
you've unmasked yourself now. Just
wait till the bank comes to me

And he stnlked away in fury.
Sammy went to Myrtle that night. She
cried little and agreed to wait yea1
longer

There was the greatest contrast i'm
aginable between Dick Chester and
Sammy Bent. Both were sons Of old
families, but that was the sole SINH
larity. Dick Chester's father owned
the joint stock bank; Sammy went to
work there as an Office boy after his
father failed and committed suicide.
Dick patronized the other with good.
natured contempt. Sammy was out
Of his class.
Myrtle Ravens was out of Sammy's
class. Dick and she were engaged, but
1t was plain that Sammy loved her in q
moon-calf way. He ran errands fol
her and made himself generally useful.
In fact, Sammy had such manifest
plodding industry that old Chester took
fancy to him, gave him clerkship
and sometimes invited the lad to his
house.
Dick might have married Myrtle
but her father died suddenly, forfeit
ing his $4,000 insurance, which, it wa,
found, had lapsed months before, dur
ing the beginning Of his illness. Dicl
threw Myrtle over. He was criticized
for this, but he could afford to laugh
lat criticism, with a wealthy father
Old Chester was furious about it. Thu
fact was, Dick had been firing Of
Myrtle, and when the girl chivalrouslj
offered to release him he seized thu
opportunity.
Dick got tired of the bank and
stayed away so long that his father gd
him position as secretary to an exclu
sive club. There Dick was in his ele
ment. But the great surprise cam,
when old Reynolds died, and SammI
found himself promoted to the position
Of manager, at twenty-eight.
Myrtle Ravens had been living il
retirement since the breaking off d
her engagement. How Sammy got II
