Nevertheless, overwhelmed as ne was at his sudden rise to affluence, the little clerk's heart sunk within him for he loved his employer and he knew Instinctively that something hart gone very wrong with him. Instlnc tively, too, he connected it with Water man. He hazarded a question. "I hope, sir. that nothing has gone wrong?" "Wrong? No no Indeed. I'm Jusi bored, bored with business sick and tired of New York. I want a change -rgoing to get it. That's all." Wilson was not convinced.

If he Is unhappy the dog knows It, and Wil son knew that Stanley was unhappy But he did not pursue the point fur tlier, reflecting that it would not be long before be learned the truth.
