The Lighted Way
By: E. Phillips Oppenheim
Mr. Samuel Weatherley, Sole Proprietor Of The Firm Of Samuel
Weatherley & Co., Wholesale Provision Merchants, Of Tooley Street,
London, Paused Suddenly On His Way From His Private Office To The
Street. There Was Something Which Until That Second Had Entirely
Slipped His Memory. It Was Not His Umbrella, For That, Neatly Tucked
Up, Was Already Under His Arm. Nor Was It The _Times_, For That,
Together With The Supplement, Was Sticking Out Of His Overcoat
Pocket, The Shape Of Which It Completely Ruined. As A Matter Of
Fact, It Was More Important Than Either Of These--It Was A
Commission From His Wife.
