who had come to apply for the position
OF office boy.
The manager OF the office. a keen.

ties Of the situation to the boy and
asked:
DO you think you could do the
work.
IL don't know" was the hesitating
reply. I'm afraid that maybe

You might try, James," said his
mother, who seemed anxious that he
should secure the place.

tone. Il s'pose might, but I'm afraid

ager, little sharply.
And the boy went away with his
mother Gliding him for his lack of self

Ten minutes later another boy of
about fourteen came in by himself,
walked up TO the counter, took off his
cap and asked to see the manager. He,
too, was an applicant for the place.
The business manager carefully ex-
planned the duties OF the situation, and
the boy listened very attenuvely, while
