"Yes, I have."
"Is it in a store?"
"No; I am private secretary to a gentleman living at the Metropolitan Hotel."
"Private secretary!" exclaimed Clarence, in continued surprise. "You can't be fit for such a position. How did you get it?"
"I am not sure whether I shall suit," said Ben, "but the gentleman applied to me, and I accepted."
"I never heard of anything so strange. How much pay do you get?"
"Fifty dollars a month and board."
"It can't be possible!"
"That is what I say to myself," responded Ben, good-naturedly. "I am afraid that my employer will find out that he is paying me too much money."
