This way, Burton"
Verne Burton flushed at the per-
emptory and unciviI call. He had
never liked the arrogant Office man
ager, less than ever just now, as that
cOnceited individual hailed him as
though he were an Office boy.
It was prudence and policy, how
ever, to submit to the insolent ex-
actions of the lordly boss of the Of
fee. Burton reached the desk of his
superior to be greeted with a cold,
CensUring look.
Somebody to see you in the out
er Office" snapped out the manager.
BE brief. We can't indulge these
calls taking up the time Of our en-
pIoyes."
Burton fancied the implication did
not apply in his case. He had been
under the domination of this slave

pittance of salary, partly, he de-
Cided, because the manager did not

hours since he had come with the

The manager sat scowling, ready
to give Burton a genuine dressing
down when he reappeared, for Bur
ton had been gone near half an hour.
The tyrant was primed for a TRADE
before the whole Office. Burton an
ticipated him.
81 am sorry to give such short no
tice, " he spoke, but important bust
ness has come up that calls me at
once from the city and shall have
to resign my position"
"Business-resign?" mumbled the
manager.

Burton was in a dream all the rest
of that day. A strange thing had
transpired. A lawyer had indeed in
formed him that he was heir to a
large fOreune. The legator was Phin-
cas- Dodd. Burton had never seen
him, but knew that his mother was
a cousin of a man Of that name. The
lawyer stated that the pretentious
home of Mr.. Dodd at Wildemere was
ready to receive him as its master

MERELY POLITICS
The Examiner famed the A. o. H.
argument between Hoyne and Cum
nea by two-Column story today. If
Guinea COPIED $500 from his lodge
the Examiner isn't going to let the
voters forget it! The Examiner is
sore because he gave out the inter
view yesterday citing the same Incl
dent in the 1912 campaign.
The Examiner had the defalcation
story then and told Guinea it was
going to print it. Guinea offered ad-
vertising space rates to the Examiner
if the story was printed, saying that
his name hadn't been printed during
the campaign.
So the Examiner is following
through today with the story. Cum
nea denies that he got any more
from the A. o. H. lodge than he had
coming.
But the constant raking over of
the charge is figured to hurt Guinea,
especially among those voters who
have waited until the last to decide
where the place the cross-or dou-

A poll taken on al" trains yester-
day gave Hoyne 1850 votes, Guinea
