Just what is it that Mr.. Allen wants
you to do Roger" asked Mrs. Hooper.
The family vera at breakfas; and | efcre
Mr.. and Mrs. Hooper had retired last
night she had finally consented to abide
tY her husbands decision that Roger
take the job that had been offered him
on Saturday
Mr.. Hooper's employer, Mr. Allen, the
brother Of the man who had been SO
friendly toward them in Mayfield had
sent for him and asked him if be would
like to turn his Saturdays during the
summer to good account
I've been trying to tell you all week
mother and you, wouldn't listen to d
word about it," Roger reminded her 81
nope you've changed your mind about
letting me do it"
Your father is IN favor of having you
20 to work" answered Mrs. Hooper in a
slightly non-commiital tone, land l think
we ought to be guided by what he thinks
is right"
1T isn't quite that Mary" said Henry
the proper light before his son and not
make 1t seem like an arbitrary deci-
sion in the fact OF Mrs Hooper's oppo-
sltion- Roger Is quite old enough to
learn the value of money because he has
earned it and when this opportunity has
come for him to use some Of his spare
hours for a cash return there is no rea-
son In the world why he shouldn't take
it,"

idea Of my working at all until I've
finished school," said Roger trying as he
always did 10 save his mothers feelings
when theings were going against her,
and 1 can see she hasn't changed her
mind she's only giving in to u.s."
But you haven't told me yet just
what Mr.. Allen wants you to do" broke
in Mrs. Hooper, wishing the discussion
to end, now that there was no doubt as
to their decision about Roger accepting
the Jolt.
Well, he has bought a new place Just
out of towp-several acres, I think"
answered Roger, land THERE IS a little
house already on it. He is planning to
build a larger one later in the spring,
but right away he wants a lot Of things
done about Strengthening up, and hoeing
and raking and piling and burning NIB
bish. So be wants me to go out there
early every Saturday morning and ne will
join me right after lunch, so III put in
a whole day"
81 can't imagine any mora satfac-
tory work than that for the spring and
summer" said Mr.. Hooper enthusiastic
ally. Il shouldn't have liked 1t so well
If Mr.. Allen had given you an indoor
Job in the office"
And he will pay you SO day for the
work." asked Mrs, Hooper.
And my carfare," said Roger laugh
ing, don't forget that"
Isn't that something grand" said
Helen enviously, reaching for another
piece Of buttered toast and being rebuked
by her mother for not having asked
Roger to pass 1t. II wonder if I couldn't
find a job, too"
"Helenv' exclaimed her mother in
scandalized tone; whoever heard of
such a thing. little girl like you talk
ing about jobs"
Besides those grand girls she knows
might not speak TO her If she went to
work" remarked her father laughing.
That's So they might not" said Helen
instantly sobered. Il never thought Of
that, did you, Roger"
There you are being snobbish again
E4tleH III hIllt OIL III l We SAID. warned
Mrs. Hooper as they rose from the table.
1T is perfectly honorable for every one
to work. You want to always remem-
Der that
in spite Of that last warning to Hell
en-" said Mrs. Hooper as his wife walked
to the front door with him, 7 wonder
if your opposition to letting Roger 90 to
work isn't based on what you think
they would say in Mayfeld if they heard
Roger had been forced to lend a help
ing hand toward the family income"
