v "Wep," said Hillyer, "you won't
mind tellln' me what you would do ef
It was all yore affair."
"If it were mine," answered George,
"I'd hold awhile longer."
"That settles It," cried Hillyer, and
he turned to write an answer, to the
telegram.
A few minutes later Hanks came In
with his son Bobr a well dressed young
man past "twenty years of age. The
young man paused in the outer room,
nn expression of deep embarrassment
on his face. . . "
"Has that car o' meat fer me been
sidetracked V Hanks asked Hillyer
abruptly. i;'-"
"Yes; it's at the platform now the
merchant answered, casting a curious
glance past Hanks to his son. "Are
you ready to have it unloaded'
Yes; Bob's goin' to do it"
The whole room stared In sympa
thetic astonishment.
"You say ne is?" Hillyer got out un
der his breath.
"Yes,; I'm goln' to show him an' .his
mother' that I rule the roost up our
way. She's tuck a notion he's too good
to work like common folks, , an lef s
'im run wild with these town dudes,
an' I've made up my mind as long as
he eats my grub he's got to lay his
bands to whatever work there isi to do.
I could git a nigger to do the Job fer a
dollar an' a half, an' I'm simply goln'
to save the money."
At this outburst Bob Hanks was
seen to turn bis ace to the door. It
was as red as blood, V
"Oh, any" Hillyer began to pro
test, butrHanks interrupted him.
"Git that pair o' trucks back thar
an go to work," he said to his son,
"an' shuck off that coat an' necktie.
You won't need no buttonhole bouquet
fer this Job." - . ' v, r
The young man made haste to obey.
It was as if he wanted to spare his
parent the exhibition he was making
of himself. Hanks sat. down at the
stove in bis usual placf.guite unruf
fled. ' . .. .
y "Say," Hillyer began mUdty, TdWt
think yo're handlln' that chap right
He's all right, ef you'd only treat him
like a young, human bejji'. I've want
ed to speak to yoo-"abont that boy a
long time. I like Bob, I mayn't help
it. Why, hang it, he's' jest natural i
He don't know bow to get down to
work. He's been fetched up in this
giddy set.o young folks, an' he feels
his fodder. When yon do put Im at
work you putim at some menial em
ployment that makes all the boys in
town laugh at him, an' no boy with
any pride at all can stand that. An'
the trouble is he's ashamed of the way
you do along with -It. The . daddies o
thar set he's been runnln with don't
act that way, an Bfr don't know why
yo're different"
''What in the name eommosj aanao
do you know about boys?" said Hanks,
leaning forward and applying this
cheap cigar to a red spot on the stove.
'You've never had one. Do yon reckon

dryly, "lib, you've got a white ele

Just then they heard the rattle ef the
iron wheeled trucks in The rear. Bob
Hanks had set to work. Hia father
began to pull at "his cigar. : No one
spoke for a few minutes. Then three
young men, : ianiuessry -ntorea - ana

Hillyer smiled, but Hanks simply
grunted indifferently and began to look
over a packet of papers which he tqok
from bis pocket Jake came In te tell
Kenner that some cotton wagons were
driving up, and Kenner started out,
laughing, good naturedly. At the door
he paused, and, coming bade, he leaned
n the back of a chair toward Hanks.
"You know how to take my fun. Lib,"
he said, jost a touch of apology in his
tone. "You see, I used to have. Jest
sech a gang as Bob's society crowd to
contend with." Kenner laughed. It
was plain he had more to say in spite
of the pressure of business
