Just a boy-a big, laundering, great.
hearted boy - vas the way Cecile Mer-
rift put it in a casual discussion Of
their friends with u confidential girl
acquaintance.
1t was Roy Bacon whom Cecile re-
ferred to, and her words were repeated
in time to Roy himself, who flushed
like a bashful school girl and the'-
looked proud and pleased.
The sensible, sympathetic little lady
had estimated Roy just right. An
indulgent uncle had nearly spoiled
him. He had recently, however, tried
TO redeem the error by getting Roy
a position with a local brokerage
house.
Roy was set at learning the routine
Of the Office. The rapid jargon of the
stock exchange nearly drove him out
Of his mind.
81 shall inform Uncle Glib that he
may put me at work with a shovel or
running a street car, but can't stand
the wear and tear Of this wild invest
men business :" hoy told himself.
About one o'clock the next afternoon,
the rush hour of the Office, Roy made
the CHASTITY mistake Of his life.
He caught up the receiver Of the
phone at q call.
Burton Black & Co.-take order.
Buy for us 1000"
Buzz-zz-z! came an interruption.
Then a hiss. Then a snap, and then
the words:
United Utilities at 1.05."
Roy handed the order to one Of the
office brokers and forgot all about it.
Manager wants you" came the
sharp order from his assistant the
moment Roy reached his desk in the
morning.
You took an order from Burton
Black yesterday a]fternoon?" he de-
manded.
II did, sir" acquiesced Roy. at was
a big one, too-2,OO0 United Utilities
at 1.05."
Nothing of the sort" shouted the
manager. "They ordered ten gold SIS,
Commonwealth Central"
Look here! Numbered the man
ager, holding up a printed sheet
United Utilities, 63.' Raided late Ees-
terday, a drop Of 40 points in an hour,
and we are loaded down with 100000
worth! !"
"Then-then," stammered Roy, fair
ly appalled,, "the message got mixed
crossed wires !"
The firm sent at once for Mr.. Bacon.
Proud and just, without a word Uncle
Glib drew out a check, ~pocketed the
unlucky bonds, and said sOurly TO his
nephew:

Roy felt dreadfully distressed. His
first business experience had been Il
costly one. Roy packed his satchel
and wrote a note TO his uncle, init.
mating that he had better visit a cou.

Then with a very sad and solemn
face Roy went TO the telephone and
called up the Merritt residence.
"Yes?' insinuated a girlish voice.
This is Mr.. Bacon, Cecile-that is,
Miss Merritt. I'm sorry, but l have
made a complete failure OF everything.
Before l go aw8y l wanted TO say TO

WILD HORSES ARE PESTS
Farmers in Northern Washington Kept
in Constant Fear Of Raids.

Wild horses are giving the farmers
living near the Canadian border OF
Washington much trouble. The ami.
mails tear down fences and often chase
large herds Of cattle. The farmers
have started q war Of determination.
Domestic horses which mingle with
the wild mes o o revert to the out
law nature. Their home is in a faulty
bad land region between the Cascade
and Rocky Mountains.
A sleek black stallion, carrying an
unusually long silky name and massive
tall, is known to have in his "harem"
nearly 300 mares Of all ages and
colors. He carefully guards them
from other herds, and at the slightest
alarm stampcdes and leads them at
great speed 10 the distant hills.
