A COMBINATION AFFAIR By JOHN EDGERTON. gtajnmnii'jjwmiiJufiiiLiLuiM.i.iii.jmj' At 12 o'clock John Jennings laid down his pen, got down from his IiIrIi stool, and went quietly toward tho of llco of Mr. Campion, tho now mannger Ho knocked timidly at tho door. "Como In!" nlioiited Campion. "Oh it's you, Jointing?" "Yes, sir," Hlaiiiinerod Jennings, looking at Campion with courage born of desperation. ".Mr. Campion, I want to ink If tho firm couldn't let mo have a little more than n luiiidunl after this month. l'o been hero 'JO jcarn, sir, mid It's eight eais since 1 had my last liict ease." "You sop, sir," cald Jennings, "my Mlfo has boon otdcred away for two ut threo rnontliH and and It'a pretty hard to keep thlngn going on $25 u week." "Sit down, Jennlngn," said Campion Ho found what ho meant to say unac countably difficult, and for that reason ho began to blunter. "Jennings, I liuvt. boon thinking about you for some time," ho said. "Wo can't ralo you In fact, It waB my Intention to ask you to resign nt tho end of the mouth." Jennings, Htrtick dumb by thu blow, only looked upioalliigly at Campion. "You'll hnvo to go nt the end of the month," snld Cninpton. "We'll give you n month'H salary ahead. And no doubt you'll fojl into another position very soon ono nioro suited to you That'll bo nil, Jennings." Utterly crushed, Jennings crept back to his stool. His mind whirled, clmoa Bccmed to havo opened beneath his feet. To loso his position, after 20 years' service, at forty-three 1 What could ho do? It was tho most torrlblo thing that had ever happened to him. Ho said nothing to his wlfo. Mary and ho npver iIIbcubboiI office affairs. Tho days flew by. Jennings had barely a week at tho offlco whero ho had spent tho better part of his work ing years. And as ho sat on his stool thoughts camo Into his mind that ho had never known before. The safe In Campion's offlco was en old ono. On Saturday nights It con tained never Icsa than five or six thou sand dollars, which camo In during the afternoon, after banking hours. It would be tho simplest matter to slip tho key of Campion's offlco from its hook in the night watchman's llttlo ofllce,open the safe with the old com bination, and retlro with his booty. The idea became an obsession and ho resolved to put It into execution on the last Saturday of the month. Everything favored bis plan. Cam pion had gone away Into the country. At six o'clock Jennings went out among the other bookkeepers and clerks, but, as soon as the last had do parted, ho turned and mado his way back, secreting himself in a corner of tho stenographers' room, whero half blind old Sykes would never sco him. Midnight arrived before ho crept out toward tho watchman's office. Tho key to Campion's room hung by tho door. Old Sykes would sit, dreaming of tho paBt, behind a half-partition of wood, for lrburs at a tlmo. In his stockinged rfcet Jennings crept up, ab stracted tho key and lied. Ho put on his boots again and crept cautiously toward Campion's office. Ho thought ho lmard a slight nolso with in, and hesitated, but it was not re peated, and, cautiously turning the key in tho door, Jennings entered A man In a black mask was Kneeling In front of tho safe, counting a pile of bills. At the sight Jennings' schema of thctt was all forgotten. Ho remem berod only his long servfeo with the Arm, his watch-dog trust and obedi ence. And this burglar was about to victimize them. Wirk a 'shout Jennings leaped at the fellow, who, taken off his guard, etacgorai .back under, tho other man's impetus, rm, seeing that Jsmdags Was nnarinai, he serartg at bfcm to waUAE a fernildaBle iron ljpy.wiflWhlch he joust have pried open the window that gave on tie ta terloyjard. Jedbtoss evaded the blow and eaught the ferrow.'a acm; They wrestled to aad tup, Jennings calling for. help loudly. His strength walToutclassed by that of tho other, for 28 years of offlco work does not mako for mus cularity. Ho knew that once ho lost hie hold on the burglar's arm tho jimmy would descend. Tho burglar fought In silence, but In desperation, too. Jennings heard tho quick tram) of old Sykes' feet outside. Ho put forth all his strength to throw tho other to tho floor, nut ho lost his grasp and the Jimmy, raised, descend ed with fearful forco upon his skull. The last thing Jennings remembered was seeing Sykee-at tho door, a pistol In his hand. Tho lust thing ho heard waa the dischnrgo or tho weapon. When ho opened his eyes, to find hlriiBelf In his bpd at homo, and his wlfo besido him, Jennings' first thought waa of tho affray. "They got him?" ho demanded feebly. A tall man roso from tho other side of tho bed. Jennings, to his amaze ment, discovered that It was Rothway, the president. "Yes, wo got tho scoundrel, thanks to you, Jennings," he said. "Wo'ro going to put you In his place." "In prison?" gasped Jennings with Blnklng heart. "No, no, my boy," said Rothway, beaming. "In his offlco, of courso. Didn't you know tho man you caught was Campion?" (Copyright, by W. O. Chnpman.)
