The door opened, admitting an tier-eyed and obviously curloua pjlromr. j "You wanted me, ilrt" ! Jerry beckoned to him. "Step this way, James. Sir William Avon .wishes to speak to you." ' Our vliltor cleared his throat, "I have been hearing some very com plimentary things about you, my lad. I like boys with Intelligence and eouragft- aid you've certainly shown jboth time qualities to a remarkable 'extent. In return for what you've done I Invn great pleasure In mak ing you this present. It's a check Ifor two hundred and fifty pounds ,a Joint gift from Miss O'Brien and myself." Jimmy's eyes positively goggled "Two two 'undred an' fifty quid!" he stammered. "Wot all for me ' "That Is the Idea. If you take my advice you will Invest It In Savings Certificates." Sir William handed him the envelope. "I have something else to say to you as well. I don't know what ambitions you have for the future, but If you would like to 'come Into my employment, I will find you an opening at the Avon Works. As Mr. Trench will tell you, there Is plenty of opportunity there for a boy with energy and brains.1 Jimmy stood still, clutching the envelop, his fate flushed, and bis eyes shifting In a troubled stare from one to the other of us. "D'you d'you want me to clear out, sir?" be asked huskily. I shook my head. "Of course I don't. I should be frightfully sorry if you left us, Jimmy. All the same, when you get an offer like this, I don't want to stand in your way." He drew in a deep breath, and moistening his Hps looked up at Sir William. "It ain't 'alt good ot you, sir, hut If It don't make no difference in a way o' speaking, I'd rather stop with Mr. Trench. E s going to teach me to be an artist like 'Isself." THE hard blue eyea twinkled. "In tbat case," said their owner gravely, "I tblnk you've made a very sensible choice. Now, Cresswell," he continued, as Jimmy backed out. I assume that you're prepared to look after Miss O'Brien's Interests and see that I don't take advantage of her youth and Inexperience? How would it suit you to come along to the hotel with me now? We can have some lunch and run through these suggestions ot mine afterwards." Mr. Cresswell got up from his chair. "I shall be delighted," he said.

As soon as the doctor gives bis permission say one day next week I want to have a little dinner-party to cele brate the inauguration of the com pany. I hope that all four of you will honor me by being my guests at tbe. Park View Hotel." "I will for one," said Jerry prompt ly. "They do sole bonne fern me bet-: ter there than anywhere else In Lon don." "Then I take It we accept as well,, Molly," I said. AS I spoke the telephone on the side table suddenly began to ring, and Jerry, who waa standing beside It, lifted up the receiver. "Hello! Yes. Yes, ne'e here. Do you want to talk to him?" He turned to me. "It'a for you, Nick." I hoisted myself from tbe sofa and. crossed the room. "Who's speaking?" I Inquired. "It'a Seymour," came a familiar voice. "I've been trying to get bold of you all tbe morning, but I've only Just found out where you are stay ing. My dear Nick, I can't tell you how delighted I am at the good news." A mischievous thrill of pleasure' shot through my heart. : "Thank you very much, Seymour,'" I said, "Awfully nice of you to ring up." "Nonsense. Why, my dear fellow, Is there anyone In the world who' would naturally be more pleased and thankful than I am? I always knew yon were Innocent, of course, but this this wonderful public vin dication was almost too much to be. hoped for." ' "It was Indeed," I admitted. : "When can I see you? I am most; anxious to hear tbe full story." "You can drop In whenever you like," I said generously. "Then I'll come round this after noon." He paused. "By the way, I've Juot been talking on tbe phono to Lord Redland. He tells me that the committee ot tbe clifb have official ly accepted your resignation, but, of course, that was all an unfortunate misunderstanding. He Intends to propose your re-election personally at tbe next meeting. I shall second It myself." "I shouldn't do that If I were you. Seymour," I said. Why not?" It would be a waste of time," I explained. "I've no wish to come back to the Royal United Arts. I only used the place to wash my hands In." And with tbat I rang off. 1 (Copyright, 193 i, Penn Pubnahlng Co.)' THE END I BE WASHINGTON, Jan. 34.
