And so 1 di.l )iii' tiny I reioiviil a letter from a m.iiinfa. tiirer of iiMoinolillos that lie wi-lu'il for .-in ast'iit in my rit.v. My pay wuultl tie a salary of $l..rxHl n year ami n roininissioii on every maflilne 1 solil Who the m:in was or why he wished me for his aj;ent 1 didn't know and didn't stop to tniiiire. I aeeepteil the position at iinee. i:.ithhoiie was the name of the head of the autoiiioldle eonipany. Snou after lu'iiiu settled in the business 1 wrote him. asking how he came to choose me us an si iri'iit. I'M received no reply. The letter that came from the factory was dictated by the superintendent of the sales department, and I was not sure that Mr Iiathlione had ever seen my letter, or. if lie had. whether he had found time to reply to my quest ion. I sold a vood many of his autos and was luakinj; money when another windfall came to me that surprised nie more than the Hrst. f Mr. Uathbone's nuto works were In corporated, and mie morning 1 received a lvu'istereil letter which, on opening, 1 found to contain a certlllcate for a thousand shares of the new company made out in my name. 1 was never in my life so du m founded. Then It occurred to me that as an employee of the concern I was expected to sub set the for the stock. Though I had laid up some funds. I had not enough to pay for the stock. While 1 was womK-rim; what it all meant one of my employers called my attention to a newspaper item mentioning the oru-anizatioti of the manufacturing company for which 1 was agent at shares of $31 each. The par value of my stock was J'JO.txXi. ami the Item further stated that there had been sales at lLIO. I wrote at once to ask If the stock had been sent me as subscribed stock and on what terms I would be ex pected to pay for It A formal reply from the treasurer of the company came to me that the thousand shares stood in n:y name on the company's books full paid. When I told my wife about the mat ter she said that the stock had been placed in my name to serve some pur pose connected with thy organization of the company and I would find out in time that 1 did nit own it I wrote several letters to the main office ntxiut it. but they were not answered. My wife was fearful that if any financial breakdown occurred to the company we would be in as bad a fix as before I was offered the agency. I resolved to let the matter drop and await de velopments. When the first quarterly dividends were declared I received a check for $1,000. I looked at it in amazement, , then, showing it to my wife, remarked ! that If this was ruin I wished I might ! keep on being ruined In the same way as long as I lived. At this rate my stock was paying me $4,000 a year. , It didn't seem worth while to write for an explanation, for no such letters had been accorded an answer. My wife still feared that I was being used as a dummy to put through some j financial scheme, but dummies don't j usually receive checks for hard money, i They are not the basket of the balloon, but the gas bag. I didn't put any faith in this Interpretation. Since I could get no Information 1 determined to leave my business In charge of my demonstrator, go to the office of the company and find out for myself what j was at the bottom of my good fortune. 1 I carried out my resolution and one day walked Into the office of the manu facturer. I was obliged to send in my card to the president and received a re ply to call at his home that evening. When I presented myself there, after being admitted, an elderly woman l came in to receive me and said: "My husband has asked me to say j that he is under a great obligation to ! you, which he is endeavoring to repay. But it Is In your power to do him a great injury. lie suggests that you re turn to your home and accept the ben efits he has bestowed upon you and those he Intends to bestow, asking no questions." "And he will not see me?" "lie prefers not." "May I ask why?" "Because you may recognize him." "And if 1 do?" "I can answer no more questions. I will say this, however 1 consider my husband overtimid about the matter." "I cannot conceive why I should In jure one who has so befriended me." She remained silent, and I withdrew. I returned to my home and within a week received a certificate for another thousand shares of stock One night while lying awake mem ory brought me a possible explanation. When a youngster, some IH'Iiimi years before, while hunting I started from the bushes a man wearing slrlpes. Uo begged me not to betray lit tit Instead of di'lps; so secured ordinary clothes for him wtil It lie out on and went Ills w ay I never heard from him. I do not doubt that this man hciame stti cessful iind was m beiic'iM'tor After think Iti'r the matter -nor I dei-lded to respect his wtsi,s and never again tried to see him ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.
