"I want to see you get on, Tony.

I want to see you make good." But Tony was beyond all persuasion.
"It isn't in me," he had declared.

"Not if you gave me the whole works could I stick it." "Take a few days to think it over," Mr.Maitland had pleaded.
"I know myself--only too well.

Ask Jack, he knows," was Tony's bitter answer.

"And that's final." "No, Tony, it is not final," had been Mr.Maitland's last word, as Tony had left him.
But after the young man had left him there still remained the unsolved question, What was he to do with Tony?
In Mr.Maitland's heart was the firm resolve that he would not allow Tony to go his own way.
