ordinarily more fatal to domestic hap

new Importance. and she began to

with his tailor. 1t was always pleas

ances. Kurtz himself was an artist;
he was also a person Of generally eul-
tivated taste and a man about town.
His books were open only to those he
considered his equals. A stony-faced
doorman kept watch and ward in the
Gothic hallway to discourage the gen.
eral public from entering the premi-
ses. The fact that Bob owed several
hundred dollars dismayed that young
man not in the least, for Kurtz never
mentioned money matters.

for work he was ablaze with resent

He took up the search with a dogged |

his friends for n position, and finally,
as IL III fortune could not withstand

not much OF job that was offered him.
Int he snapped at II, and returned
home that evening In the best Of humor.
Already the serious issues of the
morning were but memory; he burst
in upon Lorclcl like gale, shouting:

Throughout the next week Bob

actual accomplishment was so novel
that he had not time to think OF liquor.
When Saturday came and he found
