CHAPTER XXI.
Only two or three incidents worthy of note fell to the lot of Tom Gordon during his second year in the employ of Josiah Warmore.
At the beginning of the year he was promoted, and received a considerable increase of salary.

The situation given to him belonged by right of seniority of service to Max Zeigler, and was looked upon as a certainty by him.

He was so indignant at the snub, that he made no effort to conceal his feelings.

While the hurt rankled, he went to Mr.Warmore and demanded an explanation.

He got it, and resigned forthwith.
