glad to think it was because Sam's

appealed to tho young man.
"Between you and mc." ho hurried
on, "It's this way I'ro boon here for

"And in a week they'd think they
were overpaying me," Duncan argued.
"No; I'vo been there. Why not try me
on here?"
"Well. I'm Just n little bit afraid you
wouldn't learn much, my boy. I don't
do business enough to giro you a good

Duncnn brushed this impatiently
aside. "How much business aro you

"Some days" Graham reckoned It
on his fingers "I take In a dollar or
two and somo days nothing. There's

Jerk of a thumb toward It "got that

"Soda water!" Duncan Jumped at

THD thought infused new life
into the younger man's wan

Graham lifted his shoulders resign

right but If yon really want to work
here for nothing I'll be glad to have
you, and If things look up with me I'll
be glad to pay you."
Abruptly ho found his bond grasped
and pumped gratefully.
"That's mighty good of you, Mr.
Gmbam. When can I start?"
"Why. whenever you like."
In a twinkling Duncan's hat and

said. "Where can wo get more sirups?"
"Unfortunately I'll havo to buy

"And how can I learn tho business
