to swim ashore, holding him up, for
he couldn't swim n stroke. The feat

She didn't upset him any more, but she
forced him to !?arn to swim.
His next lesson was in horseback
riding. Her first lesson in this was
more gentle than her swimming lesson

there was no danger of killing him

f How Edserton Got His
£ Start.
:j: By THOMAS R. DEAN f
.litnmic Edgerton's father died when
Jimiuie was fifteen years old. He had
uo mother, brother or sister, and he
had not a hundred dollars In the world.
Ills father told hiru on his deathbed
that he would find In a stocking In the
chimney some money that no one but
the two of them knew was there. Aft
er the father's death Jimmle found
enough to pay his father's funeral ex
penses and leave a small balancR.
Realizing that be must go to work,
the boy went about seeking a posi
tion. He was a delicate looking youth,
his features being finely molded. Ev
erywhere he was told that be was
not rugged enough to do hard work,
and be noticed that all the positions
that did not require bodily strength
were given to girls. He kept up his
huut for a week, tbeu gave it up—that
is, he gave up trying to get a job un
der his own identity.
He was uot a boy to be discouraged,
and if he couldn't make a living in
one way he determined to try another.
If the only positions for which he was
fitted were given to gir.J. why not
make a girl of himself and get a job
as such? He spent the remainder of
what he had found in the stocking Ln
such woman's apparel as he needed
and started out again on his search.
.liuimie made up as a very pretty
girl. He possessed a pair of mild blue
eyes, a sensitive mouth, and. his light
hair being cut like a man's, he used a
ruriing iron to make it wavy. His
voice was naturally soft and readily
mistaken for a girl's contralto. He
was of medium height and for a boy
was very well shaped. One who had
not seen him in boy's dress would sure
ly believe him to be a girl.
Arrayed as a member of the gentler
ses Jimmie, under the name of Ellen
Forsythe. started again on his errand.
This lime he met with better success
A storekeeper, Henry Perkins, was
keeping his own books and getting
tired of working nights on them. He
hired .limmie to make such entries as
would facilitate the work on his books,
inteuding to teach him the principles
of double entry. The salary was small,
but enough to pny for bis keep.
The only barrier to Jimmie's getting
on iu his position was that he made too
pretty a girl. Perkins, who was a
bachelor twenty-seven years old. em
ployed a saleswoman. Sara Cartrlght.
a few years younger than himself.
Miss Cartright had set her cap for her
employer and was much disgruntled
when he took into his service the pret
ty assistant.
It was not long oeiore jnnmie rouuu
himself between two fires. Perkins be
gau to show blm little iitteutions and
to express a fear that he was working
too hard. Every attention, every bit of
solicitude her employer expressed for
the assistant bookkeeper was to the
saleswoman like a red rag waved be
fore a mad bull. Then. too. the per
formances of a man who supposed his
employee to be a woman were not only
disagreeable to Jimmie. but must re
sult, sooner or later, in a revelation of
his sex and a consequent probable losa
of his position.
Miss Cart-ight innue herself especial
ly disagreeable to the supposed Ellen
Forsythe. If .limmie made a mistake
In an account Miss Cartright would
make as much of it as there was in it
uud as much uiore as she dared. Per
kins would mildly reprove Jimmie and
do what be could to pacify Sara, but
be dared not openly defend his book
keeper—why. no oue knew, though it
was surmised that, since he bad been
devoted to Miss Cartright before Jim
mies appearance, he might have been
too seriously involved with her to
shake her off.
Whenever Perkins would show a dis
position to make love to Jimmie the
boy would do what he could to stave
him off. This only added zest to Per
kins' passion. At last be became sc
marked in his attentions that he
brought about a rebellion on the part
of Miss Cartright.
One day Perkins appeared to be
much disgruntled. Miss Cartright ap
peared to be much disturbed, and an
atmosphere preceding a storm pervad
ed the store. The same evening, when
Jimmie was working on the book9.
Perkins came into the store and after a
few commonplace remarks said:
"Ellen. Miss Cartright has insisted
upon my discharging you."
"Indeed!"
"Ves; she says that either you or she
must go."
"Why not send her off instead of
me?" _
"it's a delicate matter to talk about,
but if you'll promise to keep the se
cret I'll tell you."
"1 promise."
"Before you came here I was fool
Jh e>ugh to make love to her. She's
Jealous of you."
"What can she do to harm you?"
"She's got a letter from me making
u proposal. If I send her away she'll
ruin me."
"Uow?"
"Oh. there are lots of ways a wo
man can ruin a man If she chooses to
do so. In this case she can sue me
for breach of promise. If she does
she may get damages, but I wouldn't
cure so much for that If the suit did
Hot ruin my business oil account of
the public scandal involved."
"You're In a bole, aren't you?"
"I surely am."
"Well, Mr. Perkins, 1 think you'd
better discharge me."
"That would be only putting off the
eTil day."
"Don't you wish lo marry Miss Cart
right?"
"I'd rather marry Satan's widow."
"It's a problem. Let me sleep over
it. I'll see if I can And a solution."
"Being a woman yourself, you will
know how a woman may be handled."
"Just so."
The next morning while Miss Cart
right was busy with a customer Jim
beckoned Perkins to come Into the of
fice and when there said:
"Discbarge me."
"Discharge you?"
"Yes. ostensibly. I'll go away for
awhile. You can keep up ray salary.
I'm going to try to work out a scheme."
Perkins brightened with hope. "1
thought you would be. smart enough to
•circumvent hor," be said.
"I haven't done It yet."
Half an hour later Jim walked out
of the store. Stopping before a coun
ter where stood Miss Cart right, he bade
her goodby. thanking her for the many
kinds acts for which he was Indebted
to her.
"Why do you go?"
"I'm discharged."
"Oh; Weli. goodby!"
Miss Cart right was all smiles the rest
of the day. Mr. Perkins appeared nei
ther very cross nor very amiable. Mist
Cart right was affable to him and did
what she could to win a smile froiu
him.
A few days later Jim in male costume
appeared at Miss Cartright's boarding
house and asked to see her. She en
tered the room where lie was and look
ed at him in surprise.
"Is this Miss San. Cartrlgbt?" hi
asked.
"Why. of course I'm Saru (Tartrigbt
And you're Ellen Forsytbe. WSat art
you doing In those clothes?"
Jim smiled "You're not the 11 rst per
.<ou who has mistaken me for my sis
ter. 1 have come to you to learn where
I can Sod her. 1 have been told that
you work In a store where she keeps
the books "
The woman looked at him. puzzled
He returned bet look through his own
honest gaze and won.
"You must he twins," she said.
"We are."
"lour sister has left the store, and 1
don't know where she has gone."
"How unfortunate!" said Jim. evi
dently much disappointed. "Do you
know of any one who can put me on
her track?"
"No, I do not unless Mr. Perkins, for
whom she worked, can do so."
"Where can I find him?"
Miss Cartrlgbt told Jim where be
could Hud the store. Before leaving he
asked her if he could get a room In the
bouse where she lodged, and be was
referred to the landlady, who gladly
took him in. This being arranged, be
departed.
uut ne uian i go 10 rersms store.
He wrote Perkins a note (In a disguis
ed band) asking him if be could let
blm know the whereabouts of Ellen
Forsytbe and received a reply from
bis employer that he could not. This
note he showed the next evening to
Miss Cnrtright and made her joyful
that Miss Forsytbe baij not only left
Perkins' employ, but they had evident
ly parted in other respects. .lini told
Miss Cart light that he would remain
where ho was until he had found his
sister. An uncle had died and left the
twins a large fortune.
Jim was anxious to find his sister
because their property had been left to
them jointly and one could not touch
it without the other's assent
From time to time Perkins received
communications from his ex-bookkeep
er stating that all was working well
and it was to be expected that his ene
my would be outwitted. Then one
evening when Perkins was at the store
working on the books there came a rap
on the door. When it was opened there
stood Miss Forsythe's twin brother.
"Ellen," exclaimed the astonished
Perkins, "what does this mean?"
"I'm not Ellen Forsytbe. I'm Jiiu
Edgerton."
lie pushed his way Into the store and
shut the door after him. Then he told
Perkins his story from first to last.
From his pocket lie took a letter from
Sara Cart right, accepting from him a
proposition of marriage, and handed it
to Perkins. The latter read it and.
throwing his arms arouud Jim. ex
claimed:
"1 loved you as a girl, and now I
love you as a man! You've got me out
of the biggest scrape of my life."
"Ho you know what Benjamin Frank
lin said to his fellow American Revolu
tionists?" asked Jim.
"No. What did be say?"
'Tie said. 'We must hang together or
hang separately." In other words, If
she goes for you I'll prove she was en
gaged to me. If she goes for me I'll
depend upou you to clear me. But she
won't go for me. I'm sure of that."
"Why not?"
"1 won ber on the ground that I and
my sister were heirs to a big for
tune."
The next day Sara Cartrigbt was dis
charged from Perkins' service, and Jim
was made junior partner in the busi
ness. He proved to have excellent
business qualifications, and Perkins,
being under a great obligation to blm,
advanced him rapidly. It was not long
before Jim was the real manager, and
his partner deferred to him in all
things. Jiiu was of an inventive turn
i>f mind and inclined to enter upon new
paths. His ventures were successful,
and he made for himself and Perkins
a large fortune.
But he never let up on the latter for
making love to him.
