THERE were ructions in the counting-house
of Tatterton & Dew

received a more or less well-deserved
"w"if??ing'i" ai"l there waa a general
feeling- of worse to follow.
At lact a small office boy entered
the clerk' office and said la shrill
voice:
"Mr. Bedbolt Is to go to the gov
ernor at once.
There was a mischievous grin on the
joung g-entleii. n s face, a f he knew
what was coming, ant most of the
others, delighted at their own escape,

some one else is in trouble.

paler when his name waa called out,
as if he, too, anticipated serious
trouble, but he set hi lips and stif
fened his back, like a man who is go

"Gootr-by, Redche, dear!" said some
body, with an unpleasant sneer. "If
the governor gives you a rise, don't
forget to stand drinks
"Reddie looks worried!" murmured
the cashier.
"Perhaps she has refused him after
all." remarked another.
A moment later he was In the pri
vate office.
Young Mr. Dewhurst, who had man
aged the business since the death of
his father, gave him a furtive look as
he entered, and then turned hurriedly
to a bundle of correspondence bv his
bio ana selected a letter with an air
of malicious satisfaction.

One could imagine Kedibolt
foolish, but never cowardly;
could imagine Mr. Dewhurst
ly, hut never generous.
The interview was unusual;
seemed to be something in the back
grounu arjout ; wnicn neither man
spoke. Mr. Dewhnrst was clearly
roaster of the situation, and resolved
to use his power; his managing clerk
looked self-reliant, but perfectly re
pectful and polite.
The ball was opened by Mr. Dew
hurst unfolding a cantankerous com
plaint from an unimportant customer.
It waa the merest trifle, and quite un
worthy 01 the occasion. Nevertheless
Jee Redbolt was by no means stir
prised at the tone adopted. For'some
time past the smallest opportunities
had been seized for fault-finding, and
he knew by instinct that the climax
had been reached.
"How do you account for this blun
der?" said Mr. Dewhurst auspi
ciously.
His clerk gave a simple, straightfor
ward explanation, which, to a reason
able man, would have been sufficient,
But Mr. Dewhurst was not in a rea
sonable humor.
,it. . .
it appears to me. men, that you
are not in any way to blame, Mr. Red
bolt?" he said cynically.
"I think net."
"You never make a mistake?"
"Not very often."
"Who is to blame, then?"
There waa a moment's silence, and
the two men looked rato one another's
eyea.
"lou are, air," said Redbolt, re
spectfully. "I acted under your in-
st ruction a."
inia appeared to give the un
worthy little tyrant hi opportunity.
"You are more than half imperti
sent! he said roughly.
"I give you my word I didn't Intend
to be so," said Redbolt, with perfect
good temper.
"Perhaps not, trot ro tired of it
You forget your propei position, and
nave crossed my will in several ways.
Mr. Redbolt colored rather pain
fully, and bis prmc.pai continued,
with a a-mile of spiteful inumpn:
"lou understand what 1 aiiude to?"
The clerk bowed slightly.
"Then I think you had better look
about for another situation."
"Shall we calculate the month fiom
last Monday?" inquired Joe Redbolt,
in a perfectly even, matter-of-fact
voice.
"Eb, yea," said Mr. Dewhurst. "But
I won't ask you to continue your work
here."
With that he pushed across the ta
ble a little pile of coins, which had
been counted' out already, clearly
showing that he intended from the
firat to make use of the opportunity
For the first time Joe Redbolt looked
angry. It was adding insult to in
jury to send him away adrift at 1
moment's notice, as if he had dis
graced himself.
It was the more outrageous because
he was a distant connection of the
Dewhurst by blood. The two young
men had been for a short time at school
together. They had entered the firm
together, and Redbolt had worked his
way up by sheer ability, under old
Mr. Dewhurst's eye, to a responsible
position.
Naturally, they knew the same peo
ple, and to some extent visited the
aame houses, and it was in this way
that Dewhurst's inherent jealousy had
ripened into positive rancor for that
there was a member of the fair sex
t the bottom of it Is almost obvious.
The innocent cause of the trouble,
little dreaming1 of the mischief she
was creating, had thoroughly enjoyed
ths rivalry of the two men, as every
daughter of Eve Is bo Tied to do, and
h had cot madte it quite elear which
ot them was to ba favored, which is

He had lout everything the girl he

nouse, anu then suddenly he re
membered. Only two niphta before
he had attended drill at the headquar
ters 01 nig volunteer corps. The men
had been asked which of them wished
to join the C. I. V. for the front. He
thought of the glow that had burnt
through his veins, how he had longed
to offer himself, and hnd only been
prevented by his feeling of obliga
tlon to Ins old friend's business. Now
he was free!

He was as sound as a bell in wind
and limb; he had done his turn at
volunteering and could shoot

1th1n half an hour his name was
entered as one of those who were.
ready for service at the front, and he
was ordered to eo before the doctor.
That gentleman laughed at him.
"If we get 1,400 men as fit as you
are," he said, "we shall do well!"
Having auceessfully passed all the
tests, and been duly enrolled as one
of the city of London" imperial vol
unteer corps, he felt slightly easier
in his mind.
At laRt the final moment came. He
had attended the service at St. Paul
and sung the national anthem until
he was hoarse. He hnd been slapped
on the back by hundreds of warm
hearted but heavy-burdened citizens.
He had even fought his way success
fully through a mob of enthusiastic
patriots all the way from Bunhill
Row to Nine Elms, where he was one
of the first to arrive.
There stood the train waiting to
take them to Southampton. There,
too, stood the long-suffering band, and
every minute groups of breathless,
excited men in khaki, who had also
fought their way through the crowd,
rushed onto the platform.
Of course it was all over. There
was nothing to be done but get into
the train and say good-by to old Lon-
j . .1 .

Once more a gloomy sense of loneli

had a chum or a relative to see him
off. And then an angel came from

ute he was clasping in his arms the
girl who had refused him a month be

always been so shy that he had never
dared to press her hand.
How had it happened? There seemed
no need and certainly no time for
explanations. hy had he accepted
her foolish "No" when she never
meant him to? She always thought
he would speak to her again. Why
had he been o awkward and brusque.
in the way he had asked her? He
had given her no chance to say "Yes."
And it was only last night she had
learned what had happened from
Dewhurst' own lips and she had
cried all night at the mischief she had
done, and would he forgive her? And
did he care for her a little bit?
Take your seats, there," roared an
officer.
It was not the time for mock mod
esty. With her arms round his neck
and tear-stained cheek pressed to
his, she promised to wait for him.
'God bless you!" he whispered.
'And God bring you back to me!"
she answered.
And then, with eheert: and whistles.
