Tommy Tom-my was a jewel, and when Joe. "the former for-mer incumbent, was convalescent, the broker was loath to send Tommy away. But the other boy wanted to come back, and pleaded hard for reinstatement. "Well." said his former employer, "you can have the position again if you can arrange ar-range with Tommy." " "Very well. sir. I think I can dc that," was the joyous reply. When the broker went to his office next morning he met a sight he had not bargained bar-gained for.

But Joe came forward blithely, one eye blackened and his cheek swollen. "Tommy's eonc. sir." he remarked, i "I've arranged with him." j |
