And he had put a large share of his salury every week Into a savings bank. With his extra commissions and bits of unexpected luck he hsd bought securities of Impregnable value. These he had locked away In a vault. They paid him only four or five percent, but they were as sure as anything mundane. And twice a year they granted him the lofty emotion of the coupon cutter. He bad paid cash for what merchandise be bought and demanded special discounts for It. In time the many mickles msdo a ruuckle. lie bad five IhouMand dollars' worth of bonds In his safe deposit box. And then be married pawned himself at the marriage shop. He kept bis board a secret from Leila. Now be saw a chance to use the talents that be had burled In a napkin.

If you can raise any money. Clay, don't you spend It In matrimony. A fellow can get married any time, but It's only once In ten years that you can climb aboard a market after a panic and ride In with the tide." He went to Ms safe deposit vault, took out bis bonds, carried them to tit vice president of bis brink, and borrowed all that be could raise on the pruritics.
