In spite of the fact that Chicago had been recommended to him. That Is why one morning he had to look at the col- umn “Male Help Wanted." He shivered as he glanced at tile list-bakers. cutters. feeders. horse- shoers. shoe makers. tailors, and so on. He turned to the sub-department, "Mis- celioneous. " Clearly he was one If the “.misceilaaeous " He noted that agents were wanted. He shivered again. Then his eye fell on the following: ‘ WANTED—Society young man to undertake light employment; liberal pay’; most have competent wardrobe. speak the modern languages. and he a good conversationaiist.

The! he went to his‘ room and had a reflective smoke. and that afternoon took his usual turn in Michigan ave- nue. When he came back to-hls hotel he found a communication summoning him to room 718 Cloud building. Dear- born street. The building was pointed out to him—an immense shaft with windows in It—and in a few minutes he was counting the numbers along the dim corridor on the seventh door. As he opened the door of 718 he saw a short ruddy man at a rather bare desk imake signs or dismissal to a youth in f‘ m a crumpled sack suit. “No—no need to waste your time," said the man at the desk. “Well. if its a job where l'vo got to go on and entertain peopic at parties, I can play a little and sing.’ tailored ib- youth.

"You wont do." said tiltI man at tho dealt. docIIIVt‘iy. and tho persistent youth went out and slammed the door behind him. "Have i the honor of addressing Mr. Robson." asked the man with an entire change of manner. "You sir. my name is Robson." "Wont you be noted? ch. it was very g f you to call. 1--" and the little man looped and beamed in ad- mirstion. “Will you be kind enough to tell lilo what kind of employment you have to otter?" asked lellwsy. osrolcssly put- ting his knee with his glow and limii~ ing at the little also with a cold po« litensss. ”Beautiful." unclaimed the other. smile.

Next. evening. according to instruc- tions. he went to the St Augustine ho- tel, and there he met Mr. and Mrs. Blo- xom. who were middle-aged and dress- ed up. and clearly In more or less tre- pidation. Robson greeted them cordial- ly and said. "I heard you were here," and that was all the explanation that was necessary. He asked most casual- ly about Delnfleld. and then went into Mrs. Skemcr's apartments and was pre- sented to eight very gorgeous persons. one of whom Mrs. Sk‘emer told him in advance. was a power in "society." Mrs. Skemer was delighted to meet him. Robson wondered if she know his secret as well as he knew hers.
