TTAD John Williams been born to
i i the purple he would have gone to
college, specialized on the digamma
and led a uselessly laborious and
happy life. Since he came into the
world near the East river, where COL
legiate advantages are in the propor-
tion of zero in the hundred. he went
to work. The energy that might have
gone into digging up the digamma
from the dust of ages went into the
study Of freight schedules. weighing
of the speed of express versus parcel
post to remote parts of these United
States.
He rose rapidly to the position of
chief shipping clerk of a large mail
order house; did the work of three
men, for which he received the salary
of four-such are the times-and had
q firm hand on the next rung OF the
commercial ladder. Then he met May
belle Riker, and business slid rapidly
down to second place in his scheme
of existence. Nor was he to be blamed.
On the contrary. many men envied
him-envied especially the thorough
ness with which he distanced all
rivals.
The girl was so beautiful that it
seemed unfair that she should also be
unusually capable and even clever. 1t
seemed a painting of the lily for her
to hold a responsible and well paid
position with the firm that gets out
that bulky volume known as the New
York City Directory. AS John Will
liams succinctly put it:
'She's got everythin'-front. bean
an pep!"
Perhaps 1t was this Same pep"
perhaps 1t was the strain of the let
ter 8. always the most hated by those
who are compiling directories, that

over the line. II got your card an

o girl you want, but you know where
she is. If you're a man, an not

Goo'by"'
How shall 1 send this here baby
carriage to Panama." a voice queried
at his elbow.
Send it by-reindeer," John Will
liams answered as he seized his over
coat and fled.
The man was within a block of the
Riker apartment house when he sud
denly hesitated and turned into a jew
elry shop. A few moments later he
was running up the stairs. No one
answered his impatient knock and
he flung open the door. Maybelle
rose with a gasp.
"Why, Mr.. Williams, you got a
nerve comm right. inw she began.
None o. thatw he answered firmly.
and took her in his arms.
X
esTF you open the door quiet, you'll

Riker volunteered. putting from he?
climb up the stairs.
Mr.. Riker opened the door eau
tiously and peeped inside. Then he
shut it noiselessly and put his arm
around his wife.
IT'S ketchin'," he announced wag-
gishly.
AS has been already stated, Mr..
Riker had reputation for wit in the
express company's Office.
