THOMAS CHAPTER I CopTiht. the afternoon of a certain Saturday Jim Stanley stood at one f I tie w indow) of tiU loft) office looking nut at a panorama of which he seldom tired. Away, rhrougt the haze of the lute afternoon, lie could see a glimpse of New York harbor, with Its husy a traffic, and In the fat lmge dim figure vaguely stahbed the He murk with its uplifted torch. gazed upon it In silence for a time and tliPii with a sigh and a gesture of Ira Imilenee he turned sat down and be an to die. ate somewhat Irritably to the audlphone upon bis desk. 'Of course there is always the pos nihility of error In these calculations, and It would be wis to allow a con fciderulde margin of rafety. therefore; tmt on the whole we are in a position to say that we think well of the prop osltlou. If you wish, I shall he gluri to discuss the muttei at length and In detail Very sincerels yours." lie switched off the machine, took auothei letter from (lie heap awaiting Ms attention, and attempted to pit. Ids mind on it For some reason he was unable to do so. lie fidgeted a tno incut rose and walked again rn the vuiidow and linked upon the liaiiomina of Manhat'i.n. Now, this iudeclslor or. better, per turbation, was not a- all characteristic tit this young man. Anyone who liiiu well, watching him now. would l.ave sensed that something had (lis tuilied him deeply. He run his hand through his brown hair with a gesture of discontent and turning at length again to his desk ne rang the bell and Kaid to the little man who entered : "Frank, when you leave the office this atterroon you will find O'liara walling with the car. I shan't ueed Mm again today. Take the qudlphone uud all this heap of correspondence t u the desk, hand them to O'Hara. and tell him to take the whole lot down to the country and itive Jefferson put them on the desk i'. the library." "But I understood, sir." objected the secretary, "tl.at yon had planned to Spend the week end playing golf at Southampton." "That's so, Frank," responded Stan find I can't do ft.

Wilson smiled. "Yes, sir." ne said "J shall grovel abjectly." "Great Invention the audlphone,' continued Stanley, casting an luterest ed eye upou the machine. "You can dictate for hours without having a stupid stenographer around saying. 'Whnt'8 that, sir?' or 'How do you spell cat, sir?" Talk as fasi as you please, talk as slowly as you please, the machine doesn't get restless. It doesn't tlx its hair or tap the ftooi vlth its foot, and Ihnnk God It doesn't chew gum!" "Yes, sir," smiled Wilson. "It certainly has some advantages, over the female of the species, but doesn't It sometimes get out of order?" "Well," replied Stanley, "the female of the species has been known to do that, too." lOmployei nnd employee smiled to gether at this feeble Jest. You would have guessed that relations between them were not wholly formal an otli clal. and you would have guessed right Wilson was more than secre tary. tie was a thoroughly confidential assistant. In fact he knew much more about the business of, the firm thnn Hollin Waterman, who was not ftilj Stanley's partner but his lifeu; well. And It was not long only the business 01 the firm with He which he was weh acquainted. luew much mure about the prlvnf lives of both the members of th; firm than either of them guessed perhaps n good deal more than one of them would have liked, )nd tie was thinking of that particular one when Stanley turned and mentioned his ime. "FinnU." he said, "Mr. Waterman hasn't come In yet?" "Not yet, sir." Stanley hesitated an Instant, and then tossed his head with an air of decision. "When h does, say I'd like to see him." "Yes. sir, I will," answered the secretary. The door had scanely closed behind Wilsoi; when upon the other side of Stanley's otiice minihei door opened and there entered briskly a young Woman clad in the business tweeds ot She was a dark, good Willi Street or twenty-fourlooking irirl ot twenty-threwith ussuranc written large upon her handsome face and radiating from her eyes of Spanish black.

"The possible exception.," responded the other, "is an exception that has ruined more than one friendship be fore now. I mean a woman." "Oh." said Waterman blankly. He rise from the desk on the cornet it which he hud been sitting, took one turu up and down the room and stopped In front of tils friend: "I sup pose you're talking ot Doris Colby."

As one of the leading lights of the American Revolution, he was of great importance, although none of his many writings indicate that he had a gift for practical states manshlp. His words burned everywhere witb a large and splendid ardor for American Ideals, for liberty, equality, and the right to happiness.
