Dick Paulding smiled grimly at Uils

"my medal winning should assure you

"I wish I could be ns certain of the

boy. If you'waut to conic after me in

"And sweep out the floor." asked
Dick quietly. "1 guess I can do that,
sir."
"We're not educating you to be a
Janitor," explained the elder hastily.
"1 mean at the bottom of the financial
ladder. You will have to start as a
runner."
??Is that oue of those chaps who go
to the other bauks to collect drafts and
things and carry wallets attached to
chains?" asked Dick, with Interest.
"Just that," said the father dryly.
??It will be a novel experience for .you
to have about you any mouey that Is
chained. 1 trust the sensation will In
culcate lessons "of Industry and pru
dence. There Is some collecting to be
done that is not from banka-from Hi
ram Pettis, for instance. He owes
$200,000 that ho won't pay. See what
you can do with that,"
"Why, I thought that old Pettis was
good for millions," cried Dick wonder
lngly.
"So he is- when he wants to pay.
Tho trouble is that In this Instance he
thluks that he has been badly treated
by the bank, and he says we can wait
his pleasure. We don't want to sue.
so I guess that you had better go after
him. That will keep you busy for
awhile."
"I'll run over to his office right
away!" cried Dick alertly. "I guess it
won't take long to get that out of
him."
"Walt and see before you brag."
warned Peter. "Anyway, don't go to
his office. This is a personal matter,
and you want to go to his house, ret
tls Is a crank about keeping his person
al affairs out of the office of Pettis.
Plnkerton A- Permaln. You might run
up this evening."
Dick nodded, and, after some talk
about other business matters, he left
the bank tlriuly conviuccd that his new
life was not going to be so bad after
all.
On leaving college he had asked that
he might have a couple of years in
which to travel, but Instead he swung
to athletics. Thus four years had
passed while he was acquiring a case
of trophies, and he was now content to
begin his business training.
He had rather dreaded that begin
ning, for his father, though Just, was
strict, and his son knew that it meant
starting at the bottom.
It was rather good fun to be sent
after Hiram Fettls. Dick had never
met the eccentric old mllllanalre, for
he had mixed little with society while
In tralnlug. and, ou the other hand.
Pottls was breaking Into society on his
daughter's account.
Dick had heard many odd tales of
tho old man, and he thought it would
be more or less of a lark to camp on his
trail for awhile.
Ho was even better content after his
first visit, and he rather hoped that the
collection would not be made quickly,
for on that occasion he met Eleanor
Pettis. She was Indeed good to look
upon.
He had not seen much of the women
of his mother's set. He had made ath
letics his hobby, and he had noticed
women only at the track events. Then
they formed merely a mass of brilliant
color in the stands, and ho thought of
them only in the plural.
