CHAPTER VI.

tftzhugh began to fret and fume at his irksome employment. He was coming to believe he had made a mis- take in adopting such slow means to an eagerly desired end, when. in tie fifth week, something occurred that dispelled his growing pessimfsm. 1t was warm Saturday night, and when he came from the broiling kitchen with his coat under his arm. dripping with perspiration, his em- ployer met him and handed him eight dollars, five of which he promptly placed between the leaves of his saw ings handbook, which now showed a balance of twenty dollars.
 As he nodded goodnight to his em- poyer he noticed hatehet-faeed man in checker-board suit on one of the lunch-counter stools. Before Fitzhugh reached Van Buren street this man confronted him and, smiling as cor dially as his hard face would permit, asked:
 "How much does the Greek pay you?n
 According to my desert, my solicit ous friend. I draw the munificent sal ary of eight dollars each week.
 The questioner pushed back his hat and chewed his cigar. And his head bobbed up and down as he scanned the dishwasher from top to toe
 T s'pose you'll do," he finally de- cided. Come long to the next block. Got somein' want to show you."
 He led the way up State street, and near Jackson boulevard stopped be- fore a gold and-white restaurant, gilt tering with electric lights, brand new and spick and span. Across the plate glass window in letters three feet high was the name, 'AIax's."
 See that? That's me. I'm Max" He tapped his chest proudly. You've got to make that name famous. Un- derstand me? Famous Come! Come long inside and I'll tell you all bout it."
 They went in, and Mir. Max outlined his plan. Briefly, it was this: Fitz- hugh, after a visit to a barber, was to apparel himself in distinguished garb, and with an aristocratic demeanor, was to promenade State street for five hours daily Painted in white letters on the back of his frock-coat would be the name MANS"
 "Um-hum," observed Fitzhugh, drawing collectively on his cigar How much do ] get for this?"
 well, let me see-say fifteen a week. How's that strike your
 Not favorably. Make it thirty and the deals closed" And even as he spoke Fitzhugh was wondering if his beard sufficiently disguised him. He decided it did Besides, there were the theatrical possibilities of the thing, and this appealed strongly to his love for make-believe.
 After some further bargaining it was agreed he was to receive twenty dollars fhe first week and, if employed longer, Thirty dollars each for all subsequent weeks.
 He reported for work Monday morn- inc. Accompanied by Max, he went to a barber's shop and afterward to a clothing establishment where ready made apparel of the better class was sold. About eleven o'clock he stepped from the restaurant, paused in the yes tibule. took pair of new chamois gloves from pocket and began draw ing them on. When he stepped out | nto the morning crowd and strolled ID State street. swinging gold leaded cane, his glistening hat tower tng high above the mass of heads. he

Instead of a police man, however, he turned to find man of his own height, but of larger bulk, regarding him with favor rather than of ill-will. He was fashonably at tired and there seemed to envelop him an atmosphere of Cash.
