"Mr. Bickford." said tbe president.
"you a[re aware. 1 suppose, that this
business Is solely for making money,
What pays goes whut doesn't pay
does not go. Besides, my stockholders .j
keep me up to making dividends. If 1
don't pay dividends my head goes off.!
We can get your work done for half
of the salary we pay yon. We shall:
not need your services after the 1st of I
January." I
"But,/Mr. Tinkbam, I've been with
you sixteen years. I'm now thirty-six.
Places are being filled by younger
men. 1 fear I may hot get another."
"That is your misfortune."
"1
don'-t know what 1 shall"—
"I have no time to listen to what
your future may be. I have other mat-:
ters to attend to." I
Bickford fretted over his discharge1
till it made him ill, 'i«» »Krm
said to him:
"Bickford. I tell you what you do.
You've got $1,600, I know. Spend half
of It having a good time. Resign your
position_ and go off where you'll tiud
something to distract your attention
from this bugbear. When you feel
strong come back and go to work at
anything you can get to do. If you
stay here you'll go under."
he paid .$5 a day for his board, and
stayed there, a month. Instead of get
ting matters into a better he got them
Into a worse flx. He fell desperately In
love.
The object of Bickford's affection
was Miss Maida Tibbetts. a young girl
who was staying at one of the less pre
tentious hotels. It was more quiet and
comfortable than tbe caravansary
where Bickford was staging, and
Miss Tibbetts' mother, an Invalid, was
with her, and tbe house was better
fitted for such a person. Nevertheless
from appearances there was no money
in the Tibbetts family. Bickford felt
that he was-playing a contemptible
part in making it appear by the
amount that he daily expended for
board that be was opulent when in
reality be was without any Income
whatever. But In bis affair with Miss
Tibbetts he found at least a temporary
mental relief from his troubles and
bad no heart to break with her till he
was obliged to. When his $300 was
spent, except enough for his railway
ticket home, be found himself in a po
sitlon to make an explanation. He
told the girl the facts.
Probably she would have blamed
him for what be bad done had It not
been for her repugnance to the treat
ment he bad received.
"These modern ways of doing busi
ness," she said, "are execrable. As
soon as a mean man has established a
successful business he capitalizes it.
This gives him a board of .directors, to
whom be pretends to be responsible.
This in turn gives him an ostensible
excuse to run the business without a
soul. Then he grits rid of those who
have helped him build it up and re
places them by cheaper inen, mere
cogwheels in the great machine he has
been constructing."
The question between Bickford tfnd!
Miss Tibbetts was what should they 1
do. They loved,, and. Bickford could
not support a' wife. Miss Tibbetts
was an ardent believer in love as a
basis of matrimony, with or without
money. She said that when she got
back to tbe north she thought she
could find something among her rela
tivcis for Bickford to do. He bad $300
In bank at home, which, with some
funds of hers, would last them for sev
eral months. Bickford saw that she
f&vored the plan of being 'married
then and there, and, with many mis
givings. he consented. He bad come
away without^ any income with which"
to support even himself. He went
back with a wife requiring—so he con
sidered it—'a 'far greater Income than
for one.

One day a chum When the extra month had passed
they all packed their trunks and went
back north.
They arrived in the city in the morn
