ed to print his picture with this let
ter he protested vigorously, but when
I reminded him Of our agreement that
my Judgment was to prevail as to
how to present this Thrift and In
vestnent campaign 20 the public, he
said:
"Yes, / know tod you you were

curately.
The reader will notice the almost
snow-white hair and beard Of Mr..
Doherty, which indicates pretty clear
ly the strenuous work-a-day life he
has led, considering that he Is only
in his 51st year. But il you think
his vigor is impaired, you ought to
live with him as I have during the
past eight weeks. j have seen lot
of him during this period-night and
day--and want to tell you that have
never met man in my whole life who
works harder or more hours every
day, or who is so willing at Ill times
to give his time and ability so freely
and unselfshly for the public's good.
he is inspired by selfish motives in
this Thrift and Investment campaign
but If any do, they are wrong about
it. I know that he is heart and soul
for the National Thrift Movement
and is taking time out of very busy
life TO help the cause, even though
his friends and business associates
know that he is taxing his strength to
the limit. But nobody can stop him
from going through with anything
he undertakes.
Now let me tell you about the
strenuous day he put in on Monday
of this week:
He was up bright and early-ate
his customary light breakfast, roll
and cup of coffee-transacted some
important business over the telephone
| from his home-then visited his of
fees, where he took part In numerous
conferences which lasted until ] 30

talk to the boys, which lasted about
20 minutes He then remained In the

Griffin asked shlm II he had enioye,

were asked,
Anne was very silent, but tie For
tune Hunter was conscious OF her
eyes often upon him. and for the life
OF him he could not meet their
gaze.
He was thankful when the meal
was ended and Mr. Harding said:

The Fortune Hunter glanced down
at the girl beside him. You ought

There were twinkling lights from
a houseboat on the opposite bank,
and the muffled sound OF grapho-
phone, otherwise the night was per-
iectly still, save for the lap, lap OF
he water against the bank.
The Fortune Hunter looked up at
the misty moon, and his thought
slipped back along the chain OF
years that were gone, with half
wistful, half cynical amusement.
Who would have thought that fate
would ever land him here? In an
ideal English home, amid every COAL

Her voice was strained and hurt,

wouldn't look at any OF the gentle
