BEGIN MERE TQ -DAY,
John Ainsley, a- min of education
and breeding, whose aver wounds left
him unfit for manual labor, • returns
hungry to his shabby boarding-house.
His landlady confronts him with a
demand for the week's rent—$1, Be-
ing a gentleman born, Ainsley is hu-
inalfateci at bang unable to pay her
on the instant. Ile asks her for an
hour of grace. He decides to pawn
an ivory ;min arum, of his mother—the
last of his possession—in order to
wipe away the debt and to get food
for himself.
NOW CO ON WITH THE STORY.
I saw miself, before I had oppor-
tunity to prove those undeveloped
gifts, entering the French hospital
service at the outbreak of the great
war• I saw myself later, transferring
to the army, which later decorated me
for valor. And then I saw the months
that followed the war. Wounded in
the last battle before the Armistice,
1' was discharged, as cured, six months
later, Illness developed, and the last
of niy father's cstaze went to pay my
hospital bills.
T
raw myeelI seeking work. I re-
member the sudden horror that swept
over me when I discovered that I was
inc•cmpetent. I was a dilettante and
the world refuses to pay the amateur.
I knew no trade, no profession. The
only thing that I could do better than
most people was the performance of
certain tricks in sleight-of-hand. That
was because few peop:e,practiced par-
lor magic.
I had in me a streak of stubbornness
that I called pride; that forbade me
to trade upon my father's friendships.
Like all youths who have been brought
np with the idea that there will al-
ways be enough menet( available for
theirwantS, I was conceited. I thought
that success was an easy matter.
I will not recount all the visions
that passed before me as I looked at
the miniatuae. Suffice it, that with
times hard, I got no work. And when
finally I' had swallowed my pride and
was willing .te work as a common
martial laboree. :Ness and privation
had sapped rty streagth.I had moved

Well, I could at least assure myself
another Reek of shelter. After that.-
I refused to. torten -plate what would
follow after the proceeds of my trans-
action with the pawnbroker were
gone.
I had not eaten for forty-eight
hours. Before that I had eaten seaat-
ily, net more than once a clay, for six
months. As a sardwieh man, as an
errand rasa when I cold get a job, as
guapdimn of motor cars parked on the
city streets I had managed to pick up
enoe b, added to the results of fre-
quent trips to the pawnshop, to pay
any small rental, and buy myself an
occasional Meal. But for the last two
days 1 had earned nothing. And I
was too proud to beg-. Today I was
starving.

nation! That, unless I yielded to the
impulse of self-destruction, was my
inevitable end. The battle wasover,
even though I might postpeno sur-
render for a few hours longer. I,
born andbredin luxury, educated in
the best university in America, a con-
noisseur of the Erne arts, would die in
blackest poverty. "And probably the
only person to mourn would be little

whom I had frequently amused with
tricks of legerdemain.
At least, though, I would die owing
nothing. So I rose, putting the min-
iature in my pocket, and unsteadily

descended the stairs to the street. I
walked uptown to Washington Square,
then crossed to Sixth Avenue.
The oily gentleman with hard black
eyes, with whom I had had so mane
little transactions in the past, looked
up as the bell on the door jangled at
my entrance. It was an unfiourishing
establishment that he ran. I never
was compelled to meet curious eyes.
But this evening he was engaged.
He leaned acro as the counter whisper-
ing to a client who also looked up at
my arrival. He looked away again
swiftly, but not before 1 had time to
gain an impression of shaewd eyes, a
rat -trap rou`..h, a diamond shirt -stud,
a rich fur collar and a general atmos-
pbere of menet I wondered vaguely
why one so apparently prosperous
should be dickering with a pawn-
broker.
As I waited for my friend Wein-
berg to finish with the other man and
attend to me, I somehow seemed to
sense that, whatever had been the
subject of their conversation before
my entrance, their talk now concerned
me. The fur -collared gentleman glanc-
ed over his shoulder at me, not once
but two or three times, and seemed to
be putting questions to the pawn-
broker.
Then Weinberg's visitor, turning
his collar up so that his flashy shirt -
stud was hidden, nodded abruptly to
the proprietor and walked -out of the
shop. His hard eyes searched my face
as he passed. However, he did not
pause, and I promptly forgot him
under stress of my negotiations with
Weinberg.
I had done too much business with
the pawnbroker for him to believe
that there was any remote chance of
my redeeming the goods which I pledg-
ed with him. I had every reason to
believe that he took advantage of my
poverty; yet I was too proud to open
negotiations elsewhere.
I did not haggle. I asked for ten
the ivoryalone
dollars;was
worth
e than that, t, I believed; the silver
frame in which the portrait was riet
must also have been worth at least
ten dollars. Intrinsically, the thing,
se a work of art, was worth hundreds,
Sentimentally; it was priceless. But
the need of Mrs. Gannon was beyond
anything else, I took the five dollars
that -Weinberg offered and went out.

The midwinter air had grown chil-
lier with the later hours, I shuddered
as 1 stepped from the close atmos-
phere of the pawnshop upon the side-
walk,
I had promised Mrs, Gannon her
money within an hour. I could keep
my promise and still have time, be-

SUN LIFE SETS NEW RECORD
Canadian Company With World ide Oxganizaation a Great
Credit to Thls Country. Increase in New'Business
For Year Greatest on Continent.
The extraordinary expansion of the
Sun Life Assurance Company of Can-
ada during the last few years has
caused its annual report to be awaited
nith unusual interest, not only by the
policyholders of the Company, but by
a large section of the general public.
The, annual report which the Presi-
dent has just submitted,and which ap-
pears in this issue, must have sur-
passed the expectations of the most
sanguine. The total amount of as-
surances in force with the Company
now approaches the billion and it halt
figure, $1,487,000,000, an increase for
the year of over $231,500,000. The
total net income for the year exceeded
$100,000,000—five' times what it was
ten years ago and more than $23,000,-
000 in excess of the income for the
previous year.
Such statistics as are available for
1927 indicate that the aggregate new
business of all the companies operat-
ing in North America last year barely
exceeds the total new business of the
previous year. The increase in the
new business of the Sun Life of Can-
ada, on the other hand, was twenty-
three per cent. Assurances in force
on the books of the Company have
doubled in four years—new business
has trebled in that period.
This
wonderful expansion has been
paralleled
p by a great increase in the

already proverbial strength and re-
sources of the .Company. The assets
have been increased by over $66,000,-
000; and now reach the impressive
total of over $400,000,000. The Com-
pany's assets approximate the amount
of the total assurandes in force only
eight years ago.
The wisdom of the Company's in-
vestment policy is reflected in the
fact that it has ne arrears in interest
or dividend on either its bonds or pre-
ferred stocks, while the dividends ac-
cruing in its conimon stocks are great-
ly in excess of those payable on those
stocks at the time of their purchase.
The care and foresight exercised in
this branch of the business is indi-
cated by an appraisal Of company

securities, the market value of which
has increased by over $19,000,000 dur-
ing this year.
The surplus earned during the year
amounted to over $88,600,000. The
Company has followed Its conservative
policy with respect to this surplus and

'value of its securities as a further pro
vision against possible future tuctua
tions, the total amount set aside fat
this purpose now standing at 910,000,
000. The account to provide for un
foreseen contingencies has been in
creased by $1,600,000 and now
amounts to $12,600,000. The sum of
$1,000,000 has been written off the
Company's properties; an additional
$600,000 has been set aside in antici-
pation of the greater longevity of an-
nuities—the total provision under this
head now being 92,000,000. Another
950,000 has been set aside to provide
for claims with respect to total. dis-
ability cases as yet unreported. ..911,
000,000 has been paid or alloted as
profits to policyholders during the
year, and over $6;000,000 has been
contingents'y allotted to deferred
'ferred
dividend policies issued prior to 1911
and to. five-year distribution policies
to provide for profits accrued but not
yet payable.
After making these Iiberal deduc-
tion and allocations, over 911,000,000
has been added to tba undivided sur-
plus, which now stands at more than
$45,000,000.
There is good news again, for the
participating policyholders of • the
Company in the announcement that
the scale of dividends to be paid to
policyholders during the year com-
mencing April let next will be again
increased—this for the eighth succes-
sive year. The interest rate on divid-
ends left with the Company' will be
maintained at 61/a per cent. per an-
num during the new dividend year.
There weir)paid to policyholders
and beneficiaries, in respect to death
claims, matured endowments, etc.,
during the year over $42,000,000. The
Company has paid out since its organi-
hr ad
zation under,' this he over 9300,000,-
000.
It is. indicative of the emciehey and
morale of the world -Wide organization
of the Sun Life that the increases in
its income are from every department
of its business and from .every terri-
torial division, namely, Canada;
United States; South America and
West Indies; Great-Brifatn, South
Africa and the Near East; China,
Japan, India Wid the Par East. Such a
showing is not alone a tribute to
President Macaulay ,but a striking
proof of the `high quality of the per-
sonnel of his organization.

real is to be increased to mammoth
