The mill president considered this point from all angles, and finally, for reasons best known to hlmselr, he de cided to take a chance on Reuben K. Pitcher. And with tho business which had taken him north successfully con summated, that gentleman next de cided to cast about him for tho sell ing agency of a spruce box factory, a side line of sound, well-mado spruco box shook promising to add mate rially to his Income. Quito early In his stay at Hoqulam, Pitcher had observed a modest Httlo factory on tho bay shore at tho east ern end of tho town. Ho had ob served also a tremendous pile of box wood at tho end of tho elevator that carried tho wasto from the saws, and the thought had occurred to him: "Hero is a man with a well equipped little plant, but ho 1b n't making any money. I'll call on him, and if ho needs a selling agent, I'll put him wlso to a few things." UPON completing his business with the WIshkah Company, there fore, Reuben K. called at tho of- flco of tho Washington Box Factory and sent In his card to tho manager, who presently came In from tho fac tory. Ho was a sad man, who chewed tobacco, and the rim of his hat was heavily laden with flno sawdust; which fact did not escape tho eagle eyo of Rube Pitcher for ho saw at onco that tho manager had been running spruco boards through a planer Infallible evidence that his cash reserve was low, and that ho was endeavoring to eliminate ex pense by doing himself the work of a hired man. Ho shook hands and said his name was Henry Peets; that ho owned tho factory which was fully insured, and hoped, by all tho gods, pagan and otherwise, it might catch fire and burn to tho foundation tim bers. Finding Reuben K. Pitcher a sym pathetic llstcnor, ho proceeded to di late on the general misery of tho box business and his own stupidity for over embarking In such a fool game. "Wha'. you need, Mr. Peota," Bald Pitcher, "Is a live selling representa tive In San Francisco; somebody that knows tho trade and can supply you with orders enough to keep tho fac tory running tho year around; Bomo- body that can get you tho top market price for your stock and arrango ton nage to freight It to market. And while it's a great blow to my natural modesty to make such a crack, I think I'm tho angel that's been Bent to Bave you," and ho expained his qualifications for the Job. Henry Peets grinned painfully. "I don't doubt your ability, Mr. Pitcher, but If I'm to have an angel, tho angel must have cash k-a-s-h cashl I could buy a nlco lot of No. 1 and No. 2 box spruco at twelve dol lars right now if I had tho money, and you know tho market is easy at thirteen dollars. Better than that, I could grado a lot of No. 2 and No. 3 shop common out of tho box stock and get into the sash and door end of It in a small way but I haven't any money to buy tho stock and work It up, so what's the uso of living?" "Dut won't the saw-mills up here trust you?" "Trust me! They'll tako tho little plant away from me if I don't glad den them with some real money with in sixty days." Honry Peets ap peared on the point of crying; In deed, some hint of his desperation may be gleaned from the fact that he was glad to pour his troubleB Into tho ear of a stranger. "What's put you out of business?" Pitcher Inquired mildly. "A whalo of an order for cannery stock. I cut the price to get the order, because I simply had to have the business; bad to keep the old mill going to save my credit. I stood to make a decent proflt on the order, and I staved off my creditors on the strength of it: A hundred and fifty thousand boxes for tho Golden West Canning Company " Reuben K. Pitcher grasped Henry Peets by the arm: "Did you brand 'em?" he de manded huskily. "No. What kind of a box man do you think I am? I've been stuck be fore with orders after I'd branded the ends, and I held off on this until I had the entire order out. They kept delaying sending me the brand " "And when you had the order out they blew up with a loud hurrah, eh?" Pitcher grinned. Ho had re fused to figure on this very order for tho Arago Mill & Lumber Company becauso of an lnsldo tip that the Golden West people were shaky flnan daily. "I'm Btuck with tho goods," mourned poor Henry Peets. "Simply can't sell them at a distance, and I'm tied up bo I can't get away to work them off myself. I've put the lot up to a dozen commission sales men, but I can't seem to get an or der started." PITCHER nodded, for ho understood readily why this should be. The canners ordered their boxes ono year In advance, and until tho present crop should have been disposed of, thero could be no market for Henry Peets' cannery shook. Nevertheless, he know what Peets did not know, to- wlt: that tho California apricot crop that year was likely to prove a bumper, in which event tho canners would in all probability bo short of sufficient boxes to market their prod uct. The apricot crop would com mence to bo harvested In about threo weeks, and should the prognostlca tlona of a bumper crop prove true, he realized that thero would be rush orders to the factories for more boxes And here was Mr. Henry Peets in tho most desperato plight imaginable, ready to sacrifice his cannery stock at a ridiculous price for a Httlo ready cash. Hero also was Mr. Reuben K Pitcher with flvo thousand ready cash which ho could conveniently spare for sixty days! Tho Wlshkah Logging & Lumbering Company would not commence operations for thirty days, and it would be fully sixty dayB longer before he would be called upon to uso his meager capital In expanding tho business of his lum ber agency. Why not, then, sound out the market on cannery stock and tako a Httlo flyer in boxes? The more Reuben K. thought It over, the more alluring did the pros pect become. With the certainty of an underestimate of their box needs on tho part of the California fruit canners, Pitcher foresaw a sharp rise In prices and a consequent extra profit. Most of the box factories, hav Ing, as they supposed, disposed of the cannery business for that season would bo busy on apple and orange business; some of them, In fact, were already working on orders for the Alaska and Columbia River salmon canneries why, if things turned out right, he might make a profit of Ave cents a box on these boxes ono hundred and fifty thousand of them wh-e-c-w-w! The box men would bo cortaln to take prompt advantage of the dilemma of the canners, and Pitcher fairly glowed as he thought of one hundred and fifty thousand boxes in a bare market with all hands Bcrabbllng for them! He turned to Henry Peets. "Let me see that stock," be said. DEETS took him over to his ware house and showed him the boxes aides, tops, bottoms and one end all neatly wire-wrapped and piled. The other end had been stacked loose, ready to be run through the brand lng machine. Pitcher unwrapped more than a dozen bundles of each and measured them carefully. He found that they conformed exactly to fSlasB51al f9vQl PIBh -- , geTggggggggggggggggggK ggggggCggWCri9a5j B ItaUgaeggggggggggt Ws nsuSsna 7- ' f gasaYwenwawawSHSHSHSV eaganlVgtw. -AnSptaCalalalflr Unexpected Guests?
