and of little import in the beginning,
rapidly waxing brilliant, but destined
to ultimate ignominy.
"Is it possible" he asked himself,
"that university man, an able con-
sulting engineer, fairly wealthy man
as I once was, not so long ago, could
have gone so far down the scale in
so short time? PennileSs, friendless,
iobless and with wife i'll and requir-
ing expensive treatment?"
It had been fast path down. First
he had sold his furniture, then his
home and then even their personal be-
longings-Mary's jewelry, his own COL
lection of rare coins.
He didn't mind for himself. 1t was
Mary that he worried about. Soon she
must have that operation or know
that forever after it would be too late
to be cured. So he had planned to die.
An insurance policy on which he
had kept up payments was still in
force, and his demise would insure
that Mary was cured at least. She
would get a thousand dollars, and he
knew that the operation would cost
s4oo. That left $500 till she was able
to get work.
Yes, that beau geste was all that he
had left to offer her, the only way in
which he could thank her for her
loyalty through the hard times, the
months of actual poverty.
He walked over to the main street
downtown and looked for the last time
at the bulletin board outside the en-
ployment agency. AS usual, nothing,
just as he had discovered countless
times before. He rubbed his hand
over the sprouting bristles on his chin
and moved slowly on.
He had taken but few steps when
he heard the door of the agency open
and the scratching of chalk on the
board. From force of long habit he
turned and scanned the notice over
the heads of the usual agency
hangers-on.
His heart missed several beats and
he blinked his eyes to see If they were
deceiving him. Outlined whitley
against the black Of the board he read:
Wanted-Capable engineer: 5000 a
month" With an incredulous cry he
forced himself through the ring of
men outside the door and strode up
to the desk of the personnel man.
"That-that job as engineer. Where
Is it? I'm consulting engineer. Will
you give me chance?"
"You?" The agent appraised him
from head to foot and laughed deri-
sively. Listen, buddy, who're you
trying to kid? You look more like a
stumble bum"
Boyd was taken aback. Looking
