That was his chief boast. One day after he had made this assertion one so. with a view to disconcerting l of the persons who heard it said to the other: “Reckon he did make himself. The Lord never would have made a man I like him.” I l l l l l l n i . l l l l 1 l l l i t ..-.â€"-â€"o-.â€"- ”â€" n.......- Skiff left school when he was nine years old. I l l l l g l l l t t at the fat. disturbed countenance of his employer. Heretofore they had always been on good termsâ€"something must have occurred to turn Babcock's anger upon him. The simple fact of his walking on Sixth avenue or any other thoroughfare during his mooning could not account for this inquisition. Then, all at once he remembered Celia Hart had once said she had met Skifl.’ Babcock several times. and liked him. Casey’s face grew cold and hard. “I’ve an interest in you. Tim,” said Skiff with a sudden change of tone. “I‘m obliged.” “Have you ever wanted to go into the trucking business for yourself '2” The younger man’s face underwent a brief change. “Every man looks to bettering him. self,” he said warlly. “I’d let you have the old stable on West street and three teams-I’d give 'em to you.” “What for?” demanded Casey bluntly. Skiff dropped subterfuge and looked his driver square in the eye. “You’ll understand when I tell you that I’ve made up my mind to marry There were two things that Babcock l Celia Hart! Look what I can give her coveted. The one was the most ex- pensive automobile he could buy, and the flashiest. The other was Celia Hart, 9. young milliner. Celia was of the same sphere in life as Babcock, but she must have been made of different clay. He got the automobile, and it re- mained for him to get Celia Hartâ€"if he could. The only thing in the way of his getting her so far as he knew was Tim Casey. Casey was in Bab- cock’s employ, and Babcock considered that he owned every man he hired. It galled him to feel that this “common workman," as he called Casey, should be in the way of his getting anything he wanted. Rut Casey was far before him in Celia's affections, and he knew it. But it wasn‘t natural that this should be so, and be thought up a way to change it~a way that only such a man as he would choose. For three succeeding days Skiff Bab. : cock had permitted his brand new red ..â€"â€"~ .‘ i l l l l i l l l l l l i l l l I l l l touring car to crawl along the street in the hope of meeting Celia as she went to or from the millincr's where she worked. Skiff could always pick Celia out of a crowd by the graceful swing of her slender, erect figure. but recently she - _-- _. _.,..-.._. -__.- _..._, _.â€"__._.â€".....â€"....__. had identified herself beyond all doubt 3 by perching a coral colored but on her abundant black hair. All at once Skiff‘s bendy little eyes discerned her. First the coral bat came into view, then Cclia's lovely ; laughing face and finally the hulking i' . ' pulled the telephone toward him.

Babcock's head truck driver, who held Celia‘s e1- bow in one big band with a most often- sive air of proprietorship, Suddenly Skill" Babcock whirled his machine around and dashed into an- other street. An hour later he sat at his desk in ithc office of the Skiff Babcock Truck- l l g i l l s i l l l l â€".. l ! I l l l . I l . ' l l ing company. At the curbstone his red car printed impatiently. Through the archway that connected the street with the stables behind his oflice his employees were passing to and fro. A haze of tobacco smoke blurred the little room, for Skid was smoking ciâ€" car after cigar in a dogged, persistent way, very much as if he knew that when he reached the end of a certain number of these fragrant smokes he would find a solution to the problem that troubled him. All at once he flung a half finished cigar through the window and pounded the desk heavily with one pudgy fist. “Every man has his price.” he said slowly. “I wonder what is Casey’s price?" Again he meditated. “A truckman." be snorted scornful- ly. “against me, who can turn every vote in this wardâ€"me. with that auty- mobile, and could dress her in dia- monds. with a flat in Central Park West. if she wanted it.

By the time Tim Casey's huge bulk i darkened the office doorway Skiff Bab- cock had smoked himself into a fit of cold anger, tempered only by his favor- ite maxim that “Every man has his price.” That this was true to a degree in Skiff Babcock’s political circle account- ed for his self-confidence to settle the case of Tim Casey ofi hand. “You wanted me?” grinned Tim Casey good naturedly. Skiff frowned up at the big. hand- some young Irishman, whose every -muscle was tense with strength and l ._ t vitality. Tim’s blue eyes sparkled and his white teeth shone. Life was good sport to the hard working truckdriver. “I saw you on Sixth avenue this noon," blurted forth Skiff. This was not the way he had intended to open the subject. “I guess I wasn’t breaking no speed limits,” grinned '(I‘im. “That my horse ain’t got the grit to cart heavy dry goods. He ought to be put on the ostrich feather route.” “You wasn’t carting that kind of dry goods up the avenue. What do you mean by loafing around when you ought to be on your job. eh?” Casey’s back stiffened and his blue eyes narrowed. - “It was noon hour,” he said sharply. “Where was the truck?” “Here in the stable.” “Seems to me you can get around pretty fast when you’ve a mind to,” growled Skiff, as he studied the time card on his desk, which showed the arrival and departure of the trucks on their different assignments. . Casey said nothing. He folded his . arms :1ch his chest and looked down â€"-diamonds, an autymobile. all the money she wants to spend and a hired girl to do her work. What can you give herâ€"eh?” His sneer could not be suppressed. “For the sake of the girl I should think you’d step back, Casey! She’s too fine to work herself to the bone as the wife of a poor truck- driver. As Mrs. Skiff Babcock she’d live like a lady. You stand OE and I’ll set you up in businessâ€"you’re smart and can stand where I do ten years from now. You’ll never have another chance.” Ashen faced. Casey stared back at him. “I’ll not do it!” be muttered. “What is your price then?" demanded Skid impatiently. “Name it and I’ll pay it." “Me price?” stammered Casey. he seemed to ponder the question. “Yes: your price. Name it and I’ll pay it.” Skiff smiled complacently. Things were coming his way. He nev- er had known this trcotment to fail. Every man has his price. Suddenly Casey’s head went up. “Me price is this,” be said heavilyâ€"“me price is this. Send for Celia Hart and let her choose between us." Skiff’s smile faded. “It’s no way to treat a lady. It’ll scare her," he said doubtfully. “It’s me price,” reiterated Casey sul. lenly. “Let her have the say. I don’t want your job.” Skiff Babcock nodded shortly and And called up the milliner’s where Celia Hart worked and asked that she be sent at once in a taxicab to the oflice of the Skiff Babcock Trucking com- pany, and then he sat back and waited nervously for her coming. Tim Casey leaned against the oppoâ€" site wall, white faced, with miserable eyes. What girl would hesitate at choosing between the plump, well dressed and obviously rich proprietor and the shirt , sleeved truck driver? He wished that be had knocked Skiff down when the suggestion was first made. But Celia ought to have a chance to better herself. Celia was a lovely, bright creature, and the best was none too good for her. But was Skiff Babcock the best? Celia should decide. A half hour ticked away, and at last a taxi drew up to the curb, and a slim, black gowned form crowned with a coral but all askew flew into the office and looked dazedly around. “What’s happened to Timmy?” she demanded breathlessly. Then her eyes fell upon Tim Casey. standing there so grim and silent, and she ran to him and flung herself on his breast. . “Ah, Timmy. I thought, you was dead, or something!" she cried. “What is the matter?” Skiff Babcock stepped into a small adjoining room. Tim Casey’s great chest heaved, but he did not unfold his arms to encircle her. “Celia,” “you’re he said hoarsely. : promised to me. and I’m a poor man. : choose, eh? i l l I l l l l l l l l But suppose there was another man. rich and better‘n me. Some one like Skifl? Babcock. Which would you He’s got an autymobile and diamonds, and his wife could live like a lady.” Celia Hart shook his shoulder vigor. ously. “Tim Casey. I believe you’re sun struck or something, you act so queer!” “Would you, Celia ?” “Did you call me away from trim- ming my wedding hatâ€"yes, sir, I’m getting my but at Mme. Moriarty’s, with the best of ’em. and she set me to trimming it myself. And you called me away from that to ask me would I marry Skid Babcock?” “Yes‘” “Well, you can take it from me that I wouldn’t,” declared Miss Hart emphat- ically, “not if he rode in ten ant:- mobiles at once and was sewed all over with diamonds. Now, come along with me and take something for your sun stroke.” She dragged the beaming Tim by one sleeve toward the outer door. “Wait a minute, Cells!” and he step- ped to the door of the inner room. “You heard, Mr. Babcock ?” he asked of the still figure by the window. Skiff Babcock turned a pale, flabby face toward him and nodded. ”I heard,” he said hoarsely. “Go along with her. You needn’t stay around.” after the wedding. I guess I don’t un- derstand girls very well.” When he was ' alone Skiff Babcock lighted another dear and muttered to himself: “I guess that’s the price Pm now.” - o I x ' ="‘\~'\." i" ..V' ‘ :i ‘2‘ ".u'- ' 2....

St. Andrew’s-by-tbe-Wardrobe is a conspicuous waymark in Queen Vic- toria street and derives a grotesque distinguishing title from former prox- imity to the king's great wardrobe. This. was originally the town mansion of Sir John Benuclzamp and purchased from his executors by Edward III. for the keepers of the king's apparel. “There were kept.” says Fuller, “the ancient clothes of our English kings which they wore on great festivals.” Shakespeare in his will left to his fa- vorite daughter, Susannah. the War- wickshire doctor's wife, a house near 1 the Wardrobe, “wherein one John llob- .‘ inson dwellcth." The present Church of St. Andrew‘s-by-thc-Wnrdrobe was rebuilt by Wren after the great fire and became the city center of the evangelical revival under William. Ro- maine.
