"Well, it's nothing much," he said, with something deprecatory in his tone, as if he felt vague impulses to ward both humor and apology. "I Just thought maybe I ought to've said more to you some time or other about well, about the wiy things are, down, at Lamb & Co.'s, for Instance."

"I Just thought maybe it wouldn't been any harm If some time or other I told you something about the way - they sort of depend on me-down there." "Why don't they' show it, then?" she asked, quickly. 'That's just what mamma and I have been feeling so much : they don't appreciate you.' "Why, yes, they do," he said. "Yes, they do.

"Well, why don't they make you a member of the firm? That's what they ought to've done ! Yes, and long ago !" ', Adams laughed, but sighed with more heartiness than he had laughed. "They call me their 'oldest stand-by down there." He laughed again, apologetic ally, as if to excuse himself for taking a little pride in this title. "Yes. sir: they say I'm their 'oldest stand-by; and I guess they Know they can count on my department a turning in as good a report as they look for, at the end of every month; but "they don't have to take a .man into the firm to get him : to do my'work. dearie."
