 Winifred Scott made a pretty pie ture when she descended the stairs that evening and greeted Richard Rankin.
 She wore her new filmy black dress The excitement of receiving a caller --one over whom she had thrown the glamour of romance-had brought a deeper flush than usual to her cheeks In spite of her appreciation of her newly-acquired dignity as head of an establishment, she appeared very youthful.

 But it did not pass his lips. Dis erection was one of his strong char acteristcs. In this house no whisper of what he was thinking should be heard.

 A lady was calling on the mothe" of the boy who was playing host to the others. The two women sat peacefully sippng tea in the clean. quiet sunroom. The laughter and movements of the boys sounded faI away and subdued.

 In going ocer the stories of sue cessful men andswomen. you will find that the yalways have been will ing to wait, especially when the wait ing meant something to their inter est. Furthermore, the one who suc- cceds is he who just goes & step fur ther in the realn, of patience and per severance, and doesn't constantly in sist on strict time and rules and reg ulations which he makes for hmse f on the plea of being "indepcndent"
 In short, when one is seeking a job. display tftoo much independence rather repels than attracts. While it is a credit to one to have backbone and not permit being imposed upon yet there are such things as genlality and willingness to forcgo so-called personal pride in order to land the thing you want most.
 In a word, You cannot quarrel with your bread and butter. nor should you put yourself on high pedestal when you want some one to do. something for you that you want to have done

 In truth it as nearly o'clock when the conference was ever. When
 the proprietor was leaving his office | he found this boy waiting. You said the man. ito lay in wait like 1 this"
 Yes, l do sir" promptly replied the boy, and I thought maybe you would see me if l waited long l enough"
 Whereupon the man sat down and l talked 1t ever with the boy. He l learned the qualifications of the boy ! but being a just man he told him that i it would be only fair that he should see the others who applied before de eidng.
 l Somehow or other when he got home, this man got to thinking tf had stayed there, the whole day. waiting to see him--the chance he took, the stick-tc- -it-iveness that must be in his makeup, and, all though he did see all the other boys the next day. he hired this young fel- low because of the impression that had been made on him. This happened some time ago and this business man has told me that he was not mistaken. He is made of the right stuff" he said, and will go far. He has patience and pluck and is not clock watcher"
 It is just an incident of this kind that often lands job. It certainly was big thing for this boy because of the opportunity he now has. This man is always telling the story about this body, who is also, by the way chief support of his widowed mother.
