but he won't be retired, the obstinate
beggar-bless his loyal old heart--and
Harlem, we'll, he's yet another matter
after what Mr.. Flint told u.s."

proportions according to the number of
men in each group?" Charles asked.

$13S and so forth, as you averaged ii

Duke shook his head. mo, ! sug
gest dividing the amounts into three
parts, namely:
First. One third to be paid accord
ing to salary.
"Second. One third to be paid ac-
cording to years of service.
'"Third. One third to be paid accord
ing to efficiency.
LAS regards the first division, that is
simple to understand.
"Is it?" said James sarcastically.
ITS as clear as calculus to me.'
"Suppose'-Duke gave a smile
that we take one third Of the sales
mems allotment of $344O, which is
roughly $1147. This total is divided
according to salary. The total weekly
salaries of the statesmen are," he re
ferred to. his tiny pocketbook in which
he kept all figures regarding each case,
''$917. Now, for every dollar paid
weekly to the statesmen they will receive
a yearly bonus Of Sips, for that is the
proportion of $1147 to S917.
Here are two illustrations:
Jerry Mcclure has $50 a week sal
ary he's one Of your best men. His
salary bonus would be $62 so. Ephraim
Waldemar, on the other hand, receives
only 500 a week; he's a new young
man. His salary bonus would be
$27.50. So all the salesmen would be
paid their salary bonus. The same
method Of paying salary bonus would
apply to the employees in the other two
divisions.

divisions, years of service and efficiency.

and at once she repeated the charm

the Genie.
"Wisherame, wisheramy, may my

There was a sudden roar from the

"Wisherame, wishcramy, your wish

he thundered. He boweda low before

"1'm only a small boy"
"Ha, that's true. I don't believe
they would" agreed the Genie. "Wcll,
we can fix that. I'll lend you my whole
body to carry you to Birdland."
Saying this the Genie lifted Lame

saddled him across his own brawny.
