by score of 20 to 10.
When the initial half ended the
score stood TO in favor OF the
Church Hill boys. and it looked as il
the game was destined to be a close
one. However the East Enders got
started good in the closing period and
hung up twenty-five additional points
to four for the Northsiders.

the Y. NJ. c. A. boys came back with
a vengeance and came near evening

hit their stride again and moved away

counter was the spectacular goal

ously he glanced at his watch, and re-
joiced that he was on time to the minute.
A massive door clicked softly behind him;
he stood in the presence of his father.
In huge, dim room of impressive pam
cling Mr.. Holstead sat between two desks
of old mahogany-one roll-top, one fiat,
with plate-glass pad covering it accu-
rately to the fraction of an inch. Two
telephones rested almost under his hand;
a ticker buzzed irregularly at his elbow.
He was writing-as he did everything
with all his energy.
"Sit down." he said sharply.
Arthur sat down and waited. His
father, scribbling last memorandum,
leaned back in the deep cushions of the
swivel-chair, planted his hands firmly
upon the arms, and lowered his head
slightly, SO that his eyes peered out at his
son as if from ambush among the heavy
brows.
arthur" he said at length, awill you
be good enough to tell me what on earth
I'm going to do with you?"
Arthur smiled frankly.
II haven't been much Of whirlwind
as an outside man," he admitted.
"Whirlwind!" Mr.. Holstead snorted.
"Know what the house profit is from you
so far? Eight dollars and sixty centsl l
didn't expect you'd set the world on fire,
but l thought you could sell something!
Why, we can get boys out of public school
that'd do more in week than you've done
in four months! What's the matter with
you, anyway? Can't you talks"
Arthur, poised uncomfortably on the
edge of the fat-top desk, fixed his eyes
on the hated ticker.
"No, not when the other fellows on the
wing all the time. don't like the selling
end very much"
At that his father brought his head up
sharply.
"You don't like the selling end! You
don'N You-Arthur, what d'you sup

manship! That's the beginning of every
thing! Show me a big success-any man
that's made big success. How did he do
it? What? He sold-he was salesman!
It's the basis of business. And you sit
there and tell me you don't like to sell
things!"

regard their sons as so many volun-
tary and mysterious fools, morally
certain to tumble and then boot every
easy grounder batted up to them by
the lucky stars. Other men aren't
80 ignorant of the laws Of heredity.
But Hugo Holstead made a practice
Of being exceptional: it was one of
his most valued, if intangible, assets. |
He had hoped that his son Arthur Al
would prove equally exceptional, and Nh
he was bitterly disappointed. NJ
This disappointment began to Y
flourish briskly when Mr.. Holstead -.
led Arthur, on his tenth birthday, to
the nearest savings bank to observe
the deposit of five dollars and to
receive pass-book.
@There!" said Mr.. Holstead. y
~That's the way to accumulate
money. We put five dollars in this
bank-and in seventeen years it'll be
ten dollars. Learn what to do with
money, and you'll be richer than l
am. Now, you can keep the book
yourself-you can't draw any money
out, because I'm your trustee-but
you can put it in and watch it grow.
Understand"
"Oh, yes," said Arthur, watching
the teller slip the treasury note into
q drawer and slam the drawer.
A fortnight later Mr.. Holstead pro-
duced another five-dollar bill.
@You know what to do with it," he
said. Remember what showed you?
Now, this time you can 60 alone"
Arthur understood perfectly. He re-
membered to the last detail what had
happened to that first deposit: the teller
still had it. And, reasoning that edible
merchandise isn't legal investment for
savings banks, Arthur promptly went out
and bought sugar stock at confection-
er's, and returned from school that day
as captain of his class baseball team.
1T was three years before Mr.. Holstead
recovered from the shock.
When Arthur was seventeen, Mr.. Hol-
stead undertook his education in the
more serious affairs of the world. He
gave him a thousand dollars, explained
the salient points Of half dozen specu-
htive securities, and suggested single
marginal transaction as test of intelli-
gence. Upon the result, he said, his fur
ther support would depend. This time
Arthur was fully prepared. 1t hurt to
know that his father thought him stupid;
he was resolved, for once, to play safe.
He deposited that thousand in savings
bank. Every one of Mr.. Holstead's pet
stocks sky-rocketed amazingly, and the
savings bank was wrecked overnight by
two officers who had been on the short side.
So Arthur Holstead, with millionaire
broker for father, went to college on a
strictly cash basis: he had pocket money
in monthly instalments, and had to send
all his bills home for criticism, audit, and
settlement. AS soon as he graduated, he
was conscripted, put in the Office of Hol-
stead & Company, advised that he could
draw fifteen dollars every Saturday noon,
and told to 60 out and be a bond salesman.
This, said his father, was learning the
business from the ground up. Arthur
agreed with him, and tried not to think of
his own ambition, which had involved the
Harvard Law School.

paper and waved it at his son. "But this
is the last chance. Every time before this

what you'll do this time. If you think

And after you've made good again, I'll

"Very reasonable-thank you," said
Arthur. He took the check, and hesi-
tated. II hope you'll be satisfied"

good luck dates from this minute"
@Thank you," said Arthur.

he thought. might be interested in it.
