INCREASE
COMES WITH
PROMOTION

CHICAGO, Sept. 2e.-After a
CAREFUL survey or the entire labor
situation extending from office boy
to president, indications are that
positions showing Increases in sal
aries require experienced help:
Consulting the president of one
of our largest industries, the writ
er inquired regarding the rapid
success of a certain young man who
had become general manager, and
who a few years ago was but office
bow: his answer was, Brown start
ed as office boy, the lowest salarled
position in our office, he was am
bilious and managed to purchase
typewriter on small monthly pay
nents and after three weeks of
practice at home he was promoted
to bill clerk, which position gave
him knowledge of the selling price
of all merchandise. His next ad-
vance was that of typist, which
taught him the numerous forms of
letter-writing and enabled him to
hold a stenographic position, CIV
ing him complete knowledge of let
ter-writing. He was then made sec
rotary, bringing him into contact
with all business details and quail
fled him for the general managers
office at ten thousand per year.
The same opportunity awaits ev-
cry young man and woman. Educa-
ton or age have nothing to do with
operating so simple a machine as
the type writer. We are informed
that a great piece of benevolent
work is being carried on by large
Chicago mail order house in fur
nishing typewriters to people wor--
thy o. credit, by selling on small
monthly installments, 50 low as to
average about eight cents per day
and actually teaching thei-' custom
ers how to use and operate any tpe-
writer in about three weeks time.

writer Exchange, 1874 W. Lake St.,

But for that little gesture Seton
would probably have passed on with
out speaking, but as it was, he stopp-
ed and smiled down at the child
|unpleasantly.
"And where are you running to-"
he asked.
Claude shivered; his little mind
flew to the story Of Red Riding
Hood and the wolf whom she had
met in the wood, and he wondered
in terror if this mans smooth tones
were purposely chosen to hide some
sinister motive, as the VOLTS had
been.
Nowhere" he said, stoutly. He
looked anxiouslp past Seton down
the narrow path beyond which led
away to Peter Lyster and safety
but. alas! it was too narrow for even
small boy to pass along while this
man barred the way.
But Claude was plucky, and sud-
denly ducking his head, he made a

against the bushes.
But it was hopeless; Seton caught
him by the loose back of his sailor
jacket and hauled him back.

he said. He had never liked Claude,
Mans affection for the boy.
Let me see," he began, with slow
enjoyment. you're the young man
who said you hated me . and the
yong man to whom l once promised
a thrashing-eh? Well, it seems to
me that this is a most opportune
moment"
Claude scared; he struggled vio-
lently, beating one small fat fist a.
gainst his tormentor's body.
LET me go-let me gop' he said,
over and over again. Nan

In his fright he let the precious
note drop to the messy pathway at
his feet and Harley Seton saw it.
He kept hold of Claudio with one
hand and stopped to pick it up with

And, then, quite suddenly, with
out comment of any sort, Lyster
turned on his heel and began to
walk slowly away.
His steps dragged-his head was
downbent-he walked like a man
VINO is thoroughly exhausted.
Nan gently released Claudie's
clinging fingers and flew after Peter
down the narrow path, her light
steps hardly making any sound on
the messy ground; she caught him
up-she spoke his name breathlessly
fearfully.

But he did not stop, or look at
her; he just said hoarsely:
Let me go-let me gon as if he
could bare no more, and Nan fell
back silently.
She took Claudie's hand and thew
went home without speaking. Joan
met them in the doorway. She gasp
ed when she saw the tearstains and
agitation on both faces. She asked
volley of questions. What had hap
pened? Was anybody hurt? Oh, how
dreadfully!

~AAS SNAASA'
He saw the name on the outside of
the folded paper, and though he had
never seen Mans handwriting. he
took it for granted that it must be
hers and that she was sending this
note to Lyster.
An ugly expression crossed his
face. He dropped the note into a
pocket and shook Claudio till he was
breathless.
"You young monkey, you! So this
is the little game, is it? I'll teach
YOU'LL"
He lifted the ridingwhip which
he invariably carried with him in
the country and brought it down
! heavily on the child's shrinking
body.
'Pll' teach you to defy me and hate
me. I'll"
"Oh, you brute-you brute!
1t was Mans voice-Nan, who
came flying through the wood and
caught his arm just as it was de-
scending for the second time. She
was as white as death; she hardly
seemed to know what she was doing.
She struck at Harley Sefton's face
| like a mad woman.
"You brute-oh, you brute! Let
him go-let him gop
Sheer surprise had made Seton
re linquish his hold of the boy, and
Claude dropped sobbing and shak-
ing amongst the bracken and under
growth.
Seton tried to catch Mans arms
and hold her, but for the moment
rage made her stronger than he.
She struck at him again and again.
She saw the world red. That he
should so have dared to hurt Claudio.
She could have killed hem in her
passionate anger and hatred.
'You wild cat, your he said saw
agely. His face was ugly, but there
was a look of unwilling admiration
in his eyes. He held both her wrists
with one hand; the other he passed
agitatedly across his face.
1t was red and bruised, and his
lip had been cut by the diamond
ring which he himself had given
Nan.
| She stood painting and struggling
with him. She loathed the touch of
his hand on her. She was sick with
shame that she could ever have
thought it possible that she could
marry such a man.
Claudio had got over his first deep
terror and was bowling now in real
earnest, raising his voice shrilly till
it must have been heard half over
the wood.
Seton looked round uneasily. He
was a coward at heart, as are most
DULLES.
"Stop that little devils noisew he
said savagely. eff you think Pm
going to put up with his nonsense
and yours as well

wheeling sharply as someone crashed
through the underground, and the

How much he had heard or seen
none of them knew, but there was a
look in his face which Nan had never
thought to see there again-a look
in his eyes as he turned from her to

in her breast for sheer happiness.
She put out her arms and drew
Claude into them and away from
the two men who faced one another
in the narrow pathway.
Seton laughed insolently as he
looked at Peter.

detestable infection. "The man who

But he never finished that SEN

and caught him fairly between the
eyes.

Claudio cried out, but with delight
now rather than fear, and Nan hid
her eyes.
But in contest between a brave
man and coward the ending is a
foregone conclusion, and in two mo-

the heart of the wood.
Peter was breathing heavily and
his face was very pale.
There was a dazed sort of look
about him; big man as he was, he
trembled like a girl now his rage

EXCITING BUYING
IN WHEAT MARKET
Sensational Upturns, Due to
Black Rust Reports, Bring
8-Cent Rise.
By tn. Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 1.-Sensational
upturns in the price of wheat were
witnessed today, as much as cents
a bushel in some cases. A hot wave
threatening big increase of crop dam
age from black rust in the Spring
wheat belt was largely responsible.
The market closed excited at the top
most figures reached. July 154a15412.
Jump Comes at Close.
The greater part of the extreme ad-
vance in wheat values came in the
last 80 minutes of trading. From the
outset, however, offering had been
scarce and the buying demand more
than usually active. These condi-
tions We're greatly emphasized when
preached an end, news was circulated
the heat had become more intense
over the great plains, especially in
the northern and central portions,
where temperatures ranging from 100
to 104 were registered. re heat was
represented as embracing practically
all sections east of the Rocky Noun
tains.
Sellers Hasten to Buy.
The most urgent buying of wheat
in the late dealings today was from
previous speculative sellers. There
also was a decided expansion of new
buying based on apprehension of pos.
sibly heavy curtailment of the Spring
wheat yield as a result of black rust
and prolonged hot weather.
Final quotations on wheat were 3 Il

delivery at 1.48&a al.49, and December
at .50Aa1.50%.
