Alan’s Business Opportunity By WINIFRED DUNBAR Copyright, 1822. Western Newspaper Unlom A nod or a shake of the head was the Invariable rule with John Dor sett In business? dealings. Just now he had applied these, definite tactics in a transaction of love.- "You won’t consider It, Mr. Dor sett V” almost plaintively interrogated his visitor, Alan Barrett. Again the shake of the head, and the keen old merchant drew some pa lters across the desk as If to Indicate that the Incident w'as closed and that he wished to get back to his own per sonal business. The younger man seemed dreadful ly depressed and hopeless. “Why can’t I have your daughter, Mr. Dorsett?" he demanded. “You will huve It out with me, will you?” Inquired bluff, almost cruel John Dorsett. “Well, I’ll tell you. My daughter Blanche has been used to luxury. What have you to offer?” "I have a fairly good position, $lO,- 000 Invested In bonds and some Inher itance prospects.” "Bah!” railed the old tyrant. “Your cash would just about cover the kind of a wedding my Blanche must have. As to the rest of it -waiting for dead man’s shoes is a poor business. It’s the man I’m looking at—no No. 5% hat wearer for ray son-in-law 1 I don’t care how poor he may he, for I have plenty of money, and to spare, but he’s got to have business sense. He’s got to do something worth while, which would show that with mature years he would be a business success.” “I am doing my full duty In the hum ble position I occupy,” declared Alan rather Indignantly. "Then muke some opportunities out side of It to show your mettle,” ad vised the merchant. Ting-a-ling-Ungl There was an Interruption. Mr. Dorsett picked up the telephone re ceiver. Some urgent call summoned him to another part of the building. He made such haste that he neither asked Alan to go nor stay. Alan sat staring vaguely at a full page adver tisement In a dally paper. It an nounced that Dorsett & Co. would present a 12 by 20-lneh American flag free to each visitor of the next day; that following was a patriot local holiday. This was one of the catch trade opportunities that hud built up the great mercantile house. Tlng-a-llug-llng! Again the telephone. There was no one to' reply. Alan hesitated. Then he picked up the receiver. “Dorsett A Co.? —yes. This is the Eastern Central freight house. Car of twenty thousand lings, shipped from Springfield to you, derailed and burned up last night. Have notified the ship pers, Continental Flag Co.” “Hello!” ejaculated Alan, “this seems to be one of Mr. Dorsett's big opportunities sidetracked l What will he do now? Sa-ay!” He called up Springfield and the Continental Flag company. Could they ship per express on quick order twen ty thousand 12 by 20 American flags? Thought not. Large order sold day before and stock rather low. Would look up stock and odd lots, however. Then later. Yes, could make up the order. Then ship to —and Alan gave bis address. Alan went straljflit hack to the office of the prospective father-in-law. “Why, Alan!” He found Blunche at the office. She seemed tearful, us If she had been pleading with her hard-hearted father. The latter scowled fearfully at Alan, jabbing u telegram before him with a pen. "Well, young man,” he growled, "I see you’re here again?” and then he turned to speak to his manager whom he had evidently Just sent for. "See here, Barnes,” he said sharply, exhibiting the telegram from Spring field. "AH those flugs we ordered burned up In a wreck. Get your men out at once, no matter what the pay, we must have the flags we advertised. Dorsett A Co. never yet failed In a promise to the people. They mustn’t do It now.” “I doubt If you can pick up five hun dred In the whole market,” submitted the manager. “One word. Mr. Dorsett,” broke In Alan —“perhaps I can help you out in your dilemma.” "You 1” “Yea, sir, I have twenty thousand 12 by 20 flags for sale.” "Whkt are you doing with twenty thousand flags?” demanded the amazed merchant. “Why, I learned there was a short age In the goods today and a large demand tomorrow, so I—lnvested.” “When did you learn it?” challenged Mr. Dorsett, bristling up suspiciously. "Through your telephone, an hour since. You taught me the princi ple of capturing opportunities—l have tried to follow your advice. You can have those twenty thousand flags. Mr. Dorsett, at fifty dollars a thousand.” “What I Double the market price?” “That is the penalty of being caught napping,” Mr. Dorsett waved his manager from the room. Then he started to leave himself. “Young man,” he said to Alan, “you’ve made a very good showing and seem to know how to Improve an op portunity when the occasion arises. You may come up to the house to see Blanche once In awhile.” And wheu he had gone away Alan embraced the blushing lovable oppor tunity at his side. And before they parted the wedding date was all but named, Legal Advertisements. Citation for Letters of Administration. IKOROJA —Atkinson County.
