It was a long trail that U-d from tlie position of office boy for the VVtlls-Fargo Express company ai Atchison, Kan., to that of assistant general counsel for the American Railway Express company, with headquarters at New York, hut this trail, by 20 years of endeavor, has been covered successfully by John A. Dill, young Omaha attorney, who left last week for New York to take up his new duties. John Dill entered the employ of the Wells-Fargo company when he was IS. By diligent application he worked his way up, as wagon driver, express messenger, depot agent and chief clerk, successively. In 1910 he was transferred to Chicago, where he studied law at night school. Fitted for Law. "John was fitted by temperament for law' said Edward FiUwilliams, Omaha agent of the American Ex press company, who has known Mr. Dill for many years. "Considering the fact that he never studied law until after he had assumed the re sponsibilities of a , family, he has done remarkably w .!)." When the various express com panies were consolidated into the American Railway Exp-ess company in 1918, John Dill came to- Omaha as chief clerk to General Jfanager D. H, Rawson, in charge of th? Trans Missouri department. Here he con tinued his law studies at the Univer sity of Omaha, from which he gia-l-uared With high honors in 1920. Aftei admission to )he bar. Dill left the express company to enter law. Liked by Associates. , Dill was well liked by Omaha at torneys with whom he came in con tact and many of the older lawyers were glad to give him a helping hand. He showed exceptional ability in le gal matters, his associates say. "We arc all proud of John Dill's success," Mr. Fitzwillianis - . said. "He has shown our employes' what an ambitious , young man can ac complish. t "Salary? Well, I don't know; but it is safe to say that it is much more than he could hope" to make practic ing law for many years." ,., . .

Now fo on with the utory ' CHAPTER IV Bitter Disappointment. Josh had bsen ill for six weeks, and there was no money left; 'she had forced him to let her draw bis small savings from the postoffice. and it had all gone in wine and neces saries lor him. The woman from whonv they rented their rooms did not know the meaning of the word oitv. and told Ninette frankly that they must either pay or go. Ninette pawned every thine nawn- able, even her best pair of boots. It would have broken Josh Wheeler's heart had he known it, but he was too ill to know, or knowing, to have cared. His work had always been that of a free-lance, and he had never had a regular salary from any of the pa pers for which he worked. It was desperation at last that drove Ninette to try her own hand at writing articles. bhe wrote her first on her knees by Josh . Wheeler's bed, by the light . a shaded lamp, and she was too driven by need and desperation to realize what a thoroughly uninterest ing and badly written article it was. She sent it to a weekly oaoer under Josh Wheeler's name and wa'ted in trembling hope for a reply. All that came, however, was a curt request from someone signing him self Peter J. Nothard, for Josh Wheeler to call at the office at his Earliest convenience. ' And as Josh Wheeler was lying be tween life and death at that moment Ninette went herself. - li she had had visions of being cpmplimented on her work, and of coming back with a check in her empty pocket, she was bitterly dis appointed, for after being- kept wait ing 20 minutes in a stuffy room, a youth thrust his head round the door, stared at her, and finally said: - "I beg your pardon 1 was lookr ing for someone else." She found her voice then. "If you want Mr. Wheeler it's me! t mean, he's ill and so I've come in stead." ' . The man stared for yet another moment, then opened the door wider. .. , "Oh, well Mr. Nothard wants to see you," he said disbelievingly, Ninette followed him along end less stooc passages that all seemed a4ive with the sound of machinery until they came to a door' with frosted glass panels, upon which the youth knocked, and when someone said "Come in" he stood , aside to let Ninette enter and make her own explanations. She found herself in a large room with an expensive-looking Turkey carpet on the floor, and big leather srmchairs standing about here and there. There was a big mahogany desk across one corner, at which a man sat writing a letter, and puffing at a cigaret. Though he must have heard the door shut, he never even looked up till tired out, and too. excited to he patient, Ninette broke out nervously: "I'm here-" He dropped his pen , then, and started to his feet. ; . "I beg your pardon, I'm sure, I " he stared at Ninette very much as the youth had stared at her, and finally he said. "I think there's some mistake who is it you want to see?" "You. if you're Mr. Nothard." Ni nette said desperately. He pulled forward a chair, but she ignored it. and went on feverishly: "Josh Mr. Wheeler, is ill, so I've come it's about the the article he wrote on on autumn in the country you w rote and asked him to call at the office, but he is ill, so I came." "I see," Peter Nothard looked rather embarrassed. "I'm sorry Wheeler is ill." he said, rather stilted ly. "What I was going to say to him can wait till he is better. Tell him. will you?" He toojf a step forward as if to dismiss ner. but Ninette did not move. Her hands were clasped to gether; her dark eyes fixed on his face with a passion of hope in them. "And and the article?" she faltered at last. 'Are you are you going to pay for it?" She could have killed him for the amuved smite that crossed his face for he was a handsome roan, but young and rather arrogant. "Mr dear child," he said with un intentional condescension, "I don't wish to hurt your feelings, but well, it is not usual for us to accept rubbish of this sort, even from a more or less regular contributor." He flicked some papers lying en his desk, which Ninette recognized as her ill-starred manuscript. "I am sorry Wheeler is it! the sort of thing is beyond a jokel" He took the papers up, twirled over a page as if to read her an extract, but Ninette took a swift step forward and tore them from his harid. "It's not any more rubbish than a lot of the stuff you " print," she stormed at him. Her face was tcarlct, her eyes full of passionate tears. "And you need not think we want your money I'd rather die, and so would he than take a penny of it. And I and I only hope that some day you'll know what it is to be ill, and poor, and h-hungry, and oh, I wish I had never come to your hate ful office." And she was gone like a whirlwind before he could move or recover from his astonishment. She was down the stairs and out in the street in a flash, the tears run ning down her face, the luckless ar ticle crushed in her hands. She hated him I Oh, how she hated him I There was no other thought in her mind; she had forgotten their desperate need of money; for the moment she had forgotten that Josh Wheeler lay at death's door; she could only think of the hand some cynical face of the man who had called her desperate attempt i i:. i i i.. muuiaii, auu leaner iiiiw i-.ccniy she longed to hurt him as he had hurt her. Passersbv stared at her curiously. but she was unconscious of them; it was only when she found herself outside the door of the house wheYe she and Josh lodged, that she stood for a moment in a desperate effort to recover her self-control before she opened the door and climbed the shabbily carpeted stairs to their rooms. She met the sour-faced landlady on the landing, and with sudden fiar cjutching at her heart faltered out "Oh, is he ht isn't any worse?" The woman gave her a sharp look. "Not that I know of; not that I've been near him to see!" Ninette went on, into. Josh Wheeler's room; it was dark, with blinds half drawn, and a small, poor fire burning in the grate. Josh lay on his back, his peaked face upturned to the ceiling, his eyes closed and his breath coming in pain ful, irregular gasps. CHAPTER V "You Have Stayed Too Long." Ninette looked at him and quickly away again. Every day now shs coyld see a change in 'the face shu loved better than anything on earth: every day the Shadow of Death seemed to be creeping nearer and nearer. . - ; . A At that moment she felt she could have committed murder in order to save him; she thought of Peter Noth ard, and clenched her hands. He might have helped herr what would a couple of guineas have been to him, when, from all that Josh had said, he was one of the richest men in London; She hoped that some day she would get her chance to pay him out she hoped that some day he would want something of her des perately badly, and that she would be in the position to refuse it. It was fate October then, and the evenings were drawing in rapidly;( the silence and depression of the' room nearly drove her mad; the knowledge of her impotence made her frantic; she could well under stand how desperation turned peo ple into criminals. When the only clock in the house struck 8, she could bear it no longer; she put on her hat again and stole out once more into the street. A fine rain was falling, and the air was humid. Ninette walked along, too miserable to heed in which direc tion her steps carried her. her thoughts all with the man she had left in that cheerless, silent room. She could not imagine her life without him; she knew that she owed every thing in the world to him and yet now she was powerless to do any thing in return for him. She must have walked some dis tance when she found herself in the quiet street of a far better class neighborhood than that in which she and .Josh lived. The houses were mostly semidetached, and ' stood in their own grounds; there were lights in many windows, and their cheeri ness brought the tears smarting again to her eyes. How unfair life was, that-- some people had everything, and others nothing at all. A garden gate clanged to close be side her, and she, stepped into the roadway to avoid two men who had come from one of the houses. She could, see by the light of a street lamp that they were both in evening dress, and she caught the whiff of an expensive cigar as one of them stopped with an annoyed ejaculation. "Bother! I've left the latchkey in the door." Ninette heard the words disinter estedly, heard too, the other man's impatient retort "Never mind I I shall miss the train if you wait; you'll be back fn 10 minutes." They hurried on together and Ni nette stood quite still, looking at the darkened windows of the house from which they had come. (Coprrlaht. 1111. by Wheeler Syndicate.) (CaaUwaea m The Bee TiaiiiM.)

Al though Farmer Green fed him well, he liked 'to range over the fields in search of extra tidbits, such as grain, seeds and insects. Sometimes he 16. 'Yours is no bigger than Mrs. QwrCt fan." wandered even as far as the pasture. And one day he strayed into the edge of the woods beyond the pas ture fence. There he discovered a beech tree. And Turkey Proudfoot was enjoying the nuts that he found on the ground beneath it when all at once a thump-thump-thump startled him. He raised his head and listened. The thumping sound came faster and faster, then died away in a jumble. 1 "Ho! it's only Johnny Green drum ming. Probably his mother wouldn't let him drum near the farm house, so he came to the woods where she couldn't hear him." Turkey Proudfoot paid no more heed to the drumming, which rolled through the woods now and then. He went on with his search fot beechnuts. But at last a thought popped into his head. "Johnnie Green must be eating most of the time or he'd drum oftener," Turkey Proudfoot muttered. "He must have found a beech tree." Soon Turkey Proudfoot decided, to join Johnnie Green. He hoped that beechnuts were more plentiful be neath Johnnie's tree. So Turkey Proudfoot picked his way slowly through the underbrush. And guid ed by the thump-thump-thump which once in a while boomed upon his ears, at last Turkey Proudfoot came into a - little clearing. There on a log sat a spcckly, feathered, short necked gentleman with a tail spread in much the fash ion in which Turkey Proudfoot so often carried his own. Turkey Proudfoot drew back be hind a bush, out of sight. "I'll show that bird a tail that is a tail," he muttered to himself. So he spread his tail and then stepped proudly forth. A dry twig snapped beneath his weight. At that sound the stranger on the log turned his head quickly. Just for an instant there was an eager look on his face, But when he beheld Turkey Proud foot it changed to one of disappoint ment. "Who are you?" the stranger asked in none too pleasant a tone." "I'm Turkey Proudfoot," said the ruler of the farmyard. "I live down . a9&y ... LAST w Jeviflef Pictures wo shows ia.oae.

"Call your friend at once and I'll show her a tail that is a tail. Yours is no bigger than Mrs. Green's fan." The stranger made no move to obey. HI appeared somewhat sulky. "What's your name?" Turkey Proudfoot demsaded. "I'm Mr. Grouse," the stranger snapped ont, "I supposed everybody in Pleasant Valley knew me." My drumming is famous." "Indeed!" cried Turkey Proud foot. "I thought it was Johnnie Green making that noise." "No wonderl" Mr. Grouse sniffed. "You're only a barnyard fowl. You can't be expected to know anything about us game birds."
