"Charming, you mean?"

Richard saw life In the raw. So
they walked over by a big construction
job.
"Interesting problem," commented
the Sahib. "Capital... labor .

leadership. Wish I were younger,
my boy."
The noon whistle blew.
"Lunch!" exclaimed Richard.
"High time, too," his father
agreed. "It's been a long morning."
They sat down by a "Men Wanted"

their pockets and began to cat.

was surprised by a call from her
rejected suitor, Duncan MacCrae.
He had seen a "Position Sought"
want-ad bearing the - Sahib's name
In the paper that morning, and
bad called to Investigate.
George-Anne was glad to see
Duncan in spite of hensclf, but he
enraged her by demanding why the
Sahib had advertised for a Job.
"Because he wants one!" she replied.
"He's out all day looking for
one ? every day!'*Just
then the Sahib himself
came in.
"I understand you've been looking
for a position," said Duncan.
"Not ashamed to admit it. No
Btone unturned. Difficult times, my
boy. Today for example. Interviewed
by any number of presidents

Duncan said. "I ha - e' four.J
yo i an excellent position,"
The Sahib gave a startled bleat.
"I hfg your pardon?"
-"""Yon see, I happened to run
across your advertisement."
'llie Sahib gazed accusingly at
George-Anne, who had inserted the
'Position Sought" want-ad.
"That's wonderful. Sahib," she
said. "Simply splendid." To Duncan:
"What is the position?"
"It's with a motor car company,
run hy friends of mine. They scl',
the Flying Wombat ?. and" they
want salesmen. Your father-seems
to qualify. The ad says, 'no previous
business, experience ? lincst
social references'."
"But my capacities are entirely
.unsuitcd; been having a touch of
my old wheeze lately." Ho wheezed.
"Remember, Sahib," CJeorgc-Arno
interrupted, "the doctor said it was
pure hysteria." To Duncan: "He's
always hysterical when he s'ar a
a new position. He's afraid her
won't be good at it. But he will"'
So Duncan to'd Wim to report at
iho Wombat salesroom next indrnin'r.
"I'm terribly grateful, Dunce
George-Anne. . ,
Duncan was skeptical. "1 do ; >
believe your father has any In.
Don of taking the position at ...'.
I do no tb'nk you are amused
nor. grateful,"
George-Anne's face blazed. Sii
told Duncan he'd better stay a\,?y
from her altogctlier.
Nevertheless, next morning, she
insisted the Sahib go to work to
, prove 10 Mie- ^rtune he was "o.i

I So Rlc* v " accompanied his

their farewell at the threshold of
