I had made it known a few days befere that I needed another clerk and he had heard of it. However, I had almost made up my mind to take on a young man who had been to see me the day before, and was about to tell the last applicant so, when he pull- ed a match from one of his pockets to light a cigar he had been smoking, but which had gone out ‘Sorry, sir,” he said, balancing I:'acelf on one foot, while he lifted the other so as to ad nit of his striking the match on the heel of his shoe. ‘Sorry, for I would like very much to work for you, and I think I would have made you a good clerk.’ The mat:h-scratching incident made me think so, too. Right at the young man’s elbow was a great Italian mar- ble column,upon which were the marks showing where many matches had been struck by vandals too utterly indiffer- ent to the rights of others to refrain from indelibly stamping their vandal- ism upon property to restore which would have cost hundreds of dollars. It would have been the most natural thing in the world for many a man to have scratched that match on the mar- ble column, and the fact that this young man chose to use the heel of his shoe instead showed that he was thoughtful and conscientious, two very excellent traits. I was so impressed that I told him to come and see me, and the result of the visit was his se- curing the position.

He was to attond a supper of the Phoenix club at 10 o'clock, and wore evening dress. ‘‘At table we noticed an exquisite shield pin he wore.

The centre of the shield consisted of a large dia- mond cut not very deep, yet too deep to be sunken, so it was elevated in a wire setting. Around the diamonds were perfectly matched black pearls. The combination was so unusual that we exclaimed as we handle l the jewel and I remarked that I had never seen it before. ‘When we had finished examiving it Mr. Cloud stil: “That is my Phoenix Jiub badge. it Lelangs to the presi- dent.
