mercantile turtle win Ihe race That only time a lurtlo ever did win a race which is a moral youd do well to profit by With which impressive advice the future strutted forth to a car Dick as bookkeeper had wooed Annie a young lady of his suburban neighborhood whose plain practical sense was refreshing and richly blessed was she in those womanly traits that siand firm and helpful when sorrow and adversity sweep away human But could Richard as a marry such a girl I The most exclusive circles would toon be open lo he wish to take Annie there Would she received Could she grace a scene of be a belle amid belles be what a wife should be like well like Sophia the flashing daughter of junior partner No he decisively answered as he pulled the bell at humble home Easily detecting his mood Annie was not unprepared for the words be soon spoke Annie my position in life will be greatly elevated tomorrow You will become the junior part ner she quietly replied Yes but you me Annie Yes I do Dick but will you let me be frank with you I see by your manner that the time for plain between us has come- Will you Yes If you wish Well Ive seen a great change coming over you Youre not the same Dick I used to know Your bright prospects are ah ays u your mind driving out much of the kindness and friendliness of my old friend Dick you are being dazzled by your anticipations of social lion business prominence and in creasing prosperity Well Annie Well Dick Im to bo frank you remember dont think a heart made cold to ones old and I friends a high to pay for Veil Have you ever thought of it that way Dick What loveliness radiant signs of a loving confiding womanly heart I The junior partner was a worshipper from that moment and lowly un assuming Annie sank the horizon Old Sydney was plainly dressed but shone resplen dent Dick couldnt help noticing the genuine cordiality extended by the two lo his mother and sister and when Mrs a placid old lady entered no patronage iced the kisses she gave but they were warm with true unaffected hospitality Emmets greeting was throw ing reflected into anothers eyes and greatly impressed by it shallonly rejoiced at the increased prosperity awaiting his fine when Ihose old fogy dropped out How sadly purblind is youth but experience adjusts corrective spectacles He was noi too far gone however to note some wonder how easily his mother and sister were conducting themselves instead of titling neglected in a comer as he had expected but he was not per mitted to profit by the observation A soft voice beside him asked Do you ling Mr flashed her glorious eyes into his face He had been flutter ing like around her and now looking down into those lustrous orbs he saw in their divine depths a shrine of No he replied but I know you do How do you know Your lace your eyes show me that the dirine spirit ot music be in your heart Oh callow youth I Oh you men are such flatterers I didnt think it of you Mr Perch- Turn the pages please He was only too glad to serve her would have tried impossibilities for her The first link of lores soft but tenacious chain had been forged She Waiting heavenly Dick said He ihnlled with the delicious hope soon his footfalls would be music to her He was in deed far gene Annie loo sang Waiting but not like that Sophias voice soared to a musical pinnacle Annies Dick scorned the compari son yet at this moment his mother was thinking how sweetly simple and touching Annies rendering was to this giddy performance Taking leave he truthfully slid it had been a delightful evening It had been a dream a fragment of heaven descended to earth and Sophia was the light thereof Emmtrta gorgeous man- was a to enshrine the object of Richard Ierchraonti tore and would hat all worshippers were as constant as he His life was te stacy Willi Sophia be threaded the tinselled mires of Ar guseyed doorkeeper who guards the portals of society having benignly pa bias in He the Lotus of soda wo- cess his former life his old friendr were forgotten toother and were ncglccied Annie was obscured A year flashed by and the senior partner announced the customary dinner which was simitar lo that given by the retiring partner ihat in addition to iho other mem- bets and families such employees he chose to invite with their families present It was an occasion after Richard heart Where else could the humble employees be so duly irrprcsscd his importance Tom needed such impressing more than any for he had far for gotten himself several times as to call him Dick and he determined to Impart a lesson He did not accompany his molher and Sophia had proclaimed Ihat she would not go without an es cort What would ihe dinner be without her What is day without sunshine What is Hamlet without Hamlet He obeyed still thinking poor that it was his own delight free will Whether the assembled employees were properly awed by his imposing entrance is known but certain it is that a Joshualike surprise caused this society sun to stand still stunned In a little group Sydney smiling his interest his kindly little wife beaming her ad miration Dicks mother and sister flushed with worthy pride sat Annie telling a story In sullen wonder he stood apart noting ihe impression Annie was making and when the story end ed in a burst of applause the party separated and old Sydney proudly led Annie through the rooms on a lour of introduction He instantly sought his mother and asked How did Annie get here r She looked mild resentment at and quietly replied Mr brought her Where is ho He excused himself for a lime I Be he had work at the office That fellows too slow for our purposes Richard muttered fol lowing old and Annie with wondering eyes then turned at Sophias order She said Come for a walk in ihe hall Where have you been to long cant endure this room It is filled with those low clerks I hope when you get lo be senior partner youll stop these disgusting mixtures She spoke angrily but Dick thought he detected anxiety loo in her manner As Ihey promenaded the hall she grew quite restless and plainly anxious He walked quietly by her thinking of old and Annie and too illhumored to ask the cause of her nervousness They walked the at ihe end of the hall and from there heard the servant admit tome one at the front door Theres papa now Sophia ex claimed brightening and Dick re membering that the gathering did lack a customary brilliancy saw Ihat ihis had been the cause of all her anxiety It was not the gorgeous Burnett who had arrived but plodding Tom greatly excited with face spotted red by unusual exertion Where are Mr Alfred and Ed ward they heard him say Both gentlemen hastened from an adjoining room and Sydney at the parlor door hare ao interview with you gentlemen at once Tom said Sophia trembling caught Richards arm Where is asked the old gentleman as he and his two ions with Dick and entered the library and closed the door He hasnt been here Edward replied Now what is Ihe matter Then Tom slowly told how he had watched Emmerts extravagance and knowing that he had lost heavily in a speculation and needed funds to save himself he come to suspect him and had only that evening finished a careful examination of Emmerts books as treasurer of the firm He was in his office Ihis evening while I was there continued Tom and rushed out past me trying hide his face but I saw it was pale and excited I hurried to his and found his check-bock- Three checks were just torn out leaving the stubs blank Well well I they all cried as Tom paused Cant you guess gentlemen To meet the heavy expenses of our new building has collected all the available funds in the three banks But he couldnt use the checks said Edward confidently The banks all know that our checks must be signed by two members of the firm From the sofa came a groan Richard had sunk upon It wringing bis hands I have reason to know gentle men that those three checks were signed by and and Perch We are lost then Father have funds at command We hive obligations 1 tied up the last available fundi yesterday No nol lost gentlemen said Tom I followed home and forced in entrance He was picking a satchel There was a struggle but here are the checks He produced them and sank ex hausted Into a chair An explanation from was de- which was that working upon his infatuation for Sophia induced him to sign the checks but he earnestly ihat he was entirely innocent as to their Intended purpose M tact said old Sydney your bead has been turned Ive been watching you You must remember dash and style dont make rice clothes and gay acquaintances and empty woman ly beauty make life We must re construct the firm For your mothers sake wont dismiss you but think another of five years as will condense your giddiness into business and I propose Tom be Junior partner And as Tom rode boms with Annie he asked In the way Annie will you be the wife of ihe Junior Oh Tom Tom Which meant ye3 of course and as Dick Perch sees the but telling methods of a new junior he believes Ihere may be after all a modern application of the old fable and remembers the vanished Euimeris as one thinks of a hideous dream I BLOOM two OUR
