“I' m a. little worried. I'm not as
much concerned over the let- -up in
business as over you. You know.
.lille. you're one of my boys. I've
always had my eye on you. I've
paid almost as much attention to '
you as my own sons. l'm anxious
to see you get along. I've always
hoped that when I retire to my
books and dogs, you'd be up on top
with my sons." Fred was not car-
ried away by the compliment. Old
“'elke had told him that before.
He also knew others had been told
the same thing.
"I‘m afraid you've got just a
little too much to handle now, and
I've thought out a. way to help you
out. I'm going to send in young
Charley Robinson — he's Dave
Robinson's boy, you know—for a.
while. He‘s getting to be pretty
sharp. Show him all the ropes.
Maybe he can give you some ideas
worth considering. I don't know.
With him to help you out. I‘m sure
you can manage to get us in a
good position for the fall rush as
far as your department is con-
corned. ” He sat back in his chair
to witness the effect of his words
on Fred.
A bombshell had burst about
Fred. He knew why young Charlie
Robinson was being sent into his
department. He had fallen down
on his job. Small inner voices had
been telling him lately he would
have to get out of the rut in which
he had allowed himself to slip. Now
the blow hall fallen. He saw his
job imporilled.

only about half an hour when Billy
was awakened suddenly by he knew
not what. Being a very light slecp~

think much of this. for he knew that
would
rouse hi1n.l\'cve1theless. he was all
cars, waiting to see if the noise that
had awakened him \\ ould not be re-
peated.
Now it had been the falling of a
spade and pitchfork that went ratt-
ling to the floor of the barn below
that had disturbed him. He listened
for some time. but hearing nothing
more was just falling off asleep
again when his quick car caught the
sound of padded footsteps on the
barn floor below them.
Yes. lllCl'e were muffled steps.
and they were coming toward the
ladder to the hayloft where he and
Nannie wore.
"it must be tramps looking for
a place to sleep." he thought. "And
they must have bound rags on tlu-ir

for Billy and we shall have to wait
