Te;ars floated in Mrs. Smither's kindly brown eyes. She forced them back, put rone arm around her husband's shoulder and stroked his gray head. "Don't take It like that, Henry. You ought to be very thankful.' They've given you a generons pension. Now you can enjoy a rest." ^ ^ Mrs. Smlthers did her best to smile,;; but In her heart she was afraid.

"Good morning, daddy!" Unfolding a napkin, she turned her piquant little face with Its bubbling blue eyes in the direction of her mother. "Geei, > daddy's lucky, Isn't he?" she said. "No more rushing off wjth me to catch the 8:15 In the mornings. AH day to read his papers and do as he likes." George, tall and glowing from hi* morning shower, slipped into ills sent, in time to echo the sentiment. "Yes, dad," he said. "Wish I had a little of the spare time you're going to have.

He wandered aimlessly in and f>ut of the kitchen like a man hopelessly lost. Once when she scolded hint;- lie made no answer. Just looked at her with n hurt expression in his dull eyes. After lunch Mrs. Smlthers decided that something must be done. She was afraid of what might happen if tills went on. Resolutely, she dried her hands and went to find him. Henry was nowhere in the house. The old brown hat he sometimes wore was missing from Its accustomed place la the hall. He must have gone off somewhere for a stroll. Mrs. Smlthers went to the telephone and put a call through to the office of Jones, Ward and Co. i Mr. Ward, the president, listened with astonishment. Then he salc^ "But, my dear Mrs. Smlthers, we can't take your.huBband back! He's earned his retirement. If you think the pension's not adequate, perhaps we could Mrs. Smlthers had to begin all over again. "It Isn't a question of money. Don't you understand? Henry's whole life was In his Job. Now you've taken It a^-ay! I'm afraid So afraid! Can't you find a place for him somewhere, anywhere? Oh, please, please!" Gradually the president came around. Yes, he began to see.
