partner or tjocle sammy as he was often on lied was con sidered aoriaia in the career of a olerk it generally heralded promotion or dismlnal and john rnjmond who had received snob a eummoub had every reasou to think that lo his oaio at least it meant the latter he had tiled bia best ever since comfnfl into the fllore to pleabe his employers but his own common sense told him that u olerk he was not a success clerks like poets aroborn not made and john ba- mond wsb not born a olerk 1 good morniofr mr raymond tako a ohdir said the old gentleman in a kindly tone tnrntdg around from bie desk as john entered- i hae a few words whloh for our matual benefit i must ay to jou you have been with us now six months and we ilad yoar eervioos to the firm not a payiug investment i am sorry that it la bo if jonwish to stay with as for wombat fill your place with a oompetent man i believe it 1b my duty to tell yoa that behind tbo ooantoryoa are not a aaoeia give it np my boy and try sometbiug more to your tastes there fa saooeii in this country for men like yoa if yon only get into tbo right place yoa cant all a round hole with a eg n are plug and no more can you make a merchant out of a man whom nit or a bio fitted for other walks in life sir i hops yoa take this aa i mean it or your owq rood the old man did not look up attfattothef bat sat polishing bia spectacles industriously tho young man sat with bowed bead for a moment then rising be said you i have felt all along that i was a failure anil would have resigned only well you see father has aet his heart on it i thought that perhaps i might do batter i regret now that x did not save yoa his trouble sir but stop a bit john said the old gentleman as raymond started for the door uavoyon no wish to follow this sort of employment 1 no air it baa always been distasteful to me it is fathers wish he has work ed bard and saved to educate me and always made it a boast that bia aon should not be forced to follow tho plough for a living poor old dad 1 he was so proud when i got this position i will write to yonr father if yoa with telling him what i tell yoa that there is success io tbe world for yoa only like all thpie wlio succeed yoa mast get into ihs right corner is there any calling to wlitob you haves liking yes following the plow said john a noblo calling my boy follow be plow and may god be with yoa said he old man reaohlngoat a hand to the younger one suy with aa a few days he oon- tinned iud i will write yonr father ind prepare hita for jour boms coming that iaif yon intend going home- tut her is too old to work the farm longer and if he will accept my hslp i shall return home the two then clasped hands onco more and john went back to hii post with a smiling faoe the olerks all looked at him in surprise and a mo- men later it was being whispered around bat raymond had been promoted john did not deny the statement for he felt in his heart that he bad been promoted tbe letter johns father reoelved some- whst molllflod the bitter disappointment be felt t bia sonti failure lis could not see why john with a college sdacatfon shonld have failed the evening alter receiving he disappointing intelligence ho at in aha coxy little fitting room still pondering over the letter his wife itt near a little table on which sal a lamp lis rays subdued by a paper shads lato a soft mellow light she looked np with a smile and laid down her work aa the old nan leaned back in his chair and said a little fretfully read ibat ngaln mother what he siys about john not being out out for a store keeper i oant somehow understand he listened attentively as his wife read i your ion tells me he has followed r w sties siot bin own it me oongratauie yon on baring eodatltal a son then is not one boy in a hundred who would bars done as 3 our boy has us has done bis best but ai a olerk is a nil u re be knows it and for hia as well as your own good it la beat tint yon know it too i prophesy access to john there is always saqftm for bright bonest men like yoa son iql they must get into the right oornor maybe be s right sold tbe old man with a sigh he talks liko an honest man john is a gosd boy and smart too bis teaohors always said hat i wonder what hetwauts to do be a lawyer or doc tor maybe that means more money and it seems as though i just caut1 wonder who that is be added aa there came the oliak of a gate and aound of approaching footsteps it was john and a moment later be was in his mothers arms itwaa a late hour that night when the little family which bad been broken for the past few years retired to rest two bear t a were serenely bappy and even the old farmer felt that the bitterness of a thwarted ambition was hot without its sunny side he felt that a bunion had been lifted from him wbon john had stood before him bis shoulders tqaared and said father yoa have had a bard fight alt your life you oould ill afford the extra load of sending me to school it is my tarn at the wheel now let mo tako tho burden and yoa rest the old man hesitate 1 what was john saying i did be want tbo farm turued over to him he a rain with a college education to plow corn aod earn a liveli hood by tho sweat of his brow for the first time he began to doabt the wisdom of his efforts to eduoate tho boy maybe jou are right john be 8 id aloud i am too old to do much thats so ive tried to do tbe right thing by you bos yoa wouldnt have to live by hard knooks m i have but yeb it ou iay bo and mother tbe farm is yours never i john had exclaimed vehem encly you shall be maeter here it was your bard labor that won ua a home and gave me an education it is my right and dqty now to clear off tho mortgage it was necessary to put on it for my benefit this done perhaps i may be able to do something for myself aod at least prove that an educated farmer atands au equal ohanoe with thoeo young men who un fortunately are not blesbed with parents eaoh as mine so it wab nettled and john raymond donned overalls uod wide brimmed straw hat and much to the dtngust of eomo of hia neighbors a pair of glovce and took op tbe work on tbe farm a fool idee this remarked tbo neigh bor hood oraole eduoatiag boys that dont know euoogh to appreciate it thereo john raymond now i lie can talk dutch and french and tbero aint many thiogs that be dont know something about bat what docb it amount too it cost bis dad a pile of money and now john is plowing corn same ub my boy and yoarn i haint got notbin agin john hes a good boy bat with his education if bo bad the band bod mabo a mark in tho world im afraid john aint overly ambitions thid was tfae general opinion of johus neigh bors he was looked npon as aa individ ual wbo bad misbed a golden opportunity john knew thi hat only smiled and went on hia way rejoicing for ho felt that be wns in the right corner strong limbs and goad judgment soon began to make tho old farm present an appearance it had not worn for joars mr raymond had been a good farmer and as long as he was ablfl kept the farm in a neat way bat old age aqd hard work had forced him fo allow the fonce corners io grow up with weeds and tbo sloughs to wash out making great gaping ditches and the hedge and orobard to go nutrimmed and f a u aa the years went by the neigbbora oeas- ed to sneer at an educated farmer they aw that john bad better horees which ate less and did more work than their own that his younger cattlo showed unmistak able improvement over the old stock or hie neigbbora herds that hia boga were a better bred easier fattened than their own i tbey began to inquire into the reasons and to profit by the hints that john gave in his heart he was a little exultant per haps but having akeen insight into human nature he was care tut to veil all such feel ln the years paeaod quickly for john tbe little oottage on the raymond jarm was made more convenient and comfort able for his aged parent and tbero were granaries and a barn the eepeoial pride of the old man who bad aged but little since that summer eve when be bad turned matters over to his strong young son just across the way and a little further op the shady country road another mora pretentions farmhouse stood back of this itood barns and oriba and feed yards unmistakably that of a welltodo farmer this was johns farm chosen and purchased much against the gratuitous advice of neighbor q john raymond generally knows what be is about eald tbe sarne individual wbo bad questioned johns ambition a few years before but be has sure missed it this time tbat jones farm is tbe worst rundown piece of land around beon rented and skinned for twenty years bnt the old man was forced to acknowledge hi mis again there was not a better farm aroand than johns he bad teen its capabilities and tbo result of his scientific treatment of it proved that he had made no mistake sat johns farming da a wcro over re was sittiug in his oozy little parlor one evening looking over a pile of letters lying on a table at his elbow a pretty darkeyed little woman sat opposite and looking ap occasionally cast half impatient glances at the decreasing pile her work in her lap and there was a little lay i anxloas paoker ol tbe browa whenever he glanced into her husbands faoe nellie here ii a letter from my old employer said john as he toro open tbe envelope i wrote to him a few days ago stating the ois aa plainly as i oonld and asked his advjou shall i read what hs says that kind old mm who spent aweok wiib as and wrote suob a heartfelt letter when wheu we lost baly yes he will tell yoa right if ho envs accept ill not aland in your way long r tho woman replied john anfolded tlio letter and read qear children i am glad i visited lhalssmmraer glad i saw john at home for i better understand yonr reluoanoe to accept what is so plainly yoar daty as yoa say il will mean the breaking ap of yoar little home ai it will never more bo the qalet little rjtreat after yon enter public life bat jibit i

uunole sammy shall wo take uncle sammys advice asked john after a moments alienee she did not reply for a moment then going around to- his aide ebe placed one hand on her shoulder and looked down into his face jobna wife will never say for him to ehirk a duty ebe said hellq john i omornla nellie called a giizzled old gontleman as he paused at a street crossing in the vllllago to allow a oarrtsge to pass it was tbe same old man who bad made so pessimistic prophecies of johns caroor ho was answered by friendly nods and amlles from tho car riage wbo was that 1 he exolaimcd to an interrogating stranger at hit elbow why thataoar congressman smartest man in he state goin t be president so tno day just got home yesterday n the bran band was out and the mayor bad a speech long as my arm and john just adjin to shake hands with as old neighbors john is a smart feller an its just as i always baid a man with hia education cant farm why bow is that i understood that tho raymond plaoo was a monel farm said the stranger so til bat do you suppose we are goin to let a feller liko him plow corn and pitch hay not muoh weve got a placo for men like bin and thats just where too many of em dont get thats congress the stranger smiled having heard of the oracles predictions tbero was a twinkle in bis kindly bine eye as he made bis way to tbe raymond oar ri age which stopped as the oooapants caught eight of him it was uoole sammy who had come ap from tbe city to spend a few days with hia children on their return from the first winter in wash ington she remembered them tilt pansy where the joke came in a very god story is told of tho bead of a college who was the possessor of a very clumsy old fashioned voblolo to which he was very partial and whioh was constantly used iurldlng through the streets of the town to the disgust of most of tbe btadents a plan was formed among borne of the boys that on a certain night they would remove this offensive vehicle from the coaohhomo to a wood abont half a mile from the college their intention was to run tbe carriage into the thickest of the woods and underbrush and leave it there bat the principal by some mo an a learned or an spec ted their intention accordingly in tbe evening be qnietly went out to the coachouae and well wrap- pod np crouched in a oornor of the carriage and watted soon the boya came very stealthily and without looking into tbe vehicle began their operations very quietly and in whis pers and with many a hobh and take care thoy enooeeded in getting it out of tbe yard and into the road tbey vere all right there bnt they wero puzzled to find the thing bo heavy to haul and amid grumblings and puffings and expression of disgust tbey enooeeded in reaohlng the woods the prlnolpsl listening to their
