She determines to create a standard of beauty In house building, borrowing money from her father, Jerrold Har mer, to do It, and Incidentally deter mining that the work shall be nrr "ca reer.” A letter from Rhoda l.a Faye Informs tier that Duane Allerton has lost his fortune In Wall Strest and Is praotlrally destitute.

Harmer. under standing much nioie of the situation than A Tort on reallsec, akes an In stinctive liking .to the young man. (CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK) Jerrold hnd Indeed no ground for feel ing that Duane, even as a prospective,* vomewhat poorly prospective, son-in law, had any designs upon the ultimate management of the Harmer Motor. la •pite of ids conscientious attendance in the showroom, his effaceraent from the active business of the concern was complete. But he developed an inor dinate fhterest In the rich, jrosy littig Middle Western city and asked end-, less questions about It, questions of Intimate import, when lie hnd SerfoM were having luncheon together as they often did. ’Tm trying to xcciimate myself to the corn belt." lie «nld lightly, In ex- planation of this Interest in things about town. Rut Jerrdld, who was making him the aubject of an avid at tention and study, knew It was some thing deeper than that. “Why, do you know,” Duane asked him one day, ,“you can pick up lane along the river, and near the rail roads, for a song, absolutely for a song? Building sites that ought to be worth—well, I suppose not quite their weight in gold—but worth a fortune* anyhow In ten to twenty years.” _ Jerrold said he supposed so, his shrewd, always kind dyes, fixed qn * “Thej haven’t half the factortea, the manufacturing plants, they ought *v. .• It * St. ; ' = -It1"lh#~wa 1 r nay father flgureo when he started the factory, 1 should Imagine.” “And besides, for a rich fanning state like this, they haven’t got half the elevator bbsineaa they ought to have Have they? \ If the middle men have to. get fifty per cent of the farm Income, the least they cm do is te turn the business over to homo .uiu,uieinen ana keep the profits is the stato. Shouldn't you say so?* "It eeeeins no more than reason able." I rr vp'K \. v - ' ■ "There's a pile of money here for any one that goes after It; isn’t there.?*' - "Whnt'a the matter with you? Are you trying to sell me the; Middle West?” "No* I Just want to find out if I am sold on it myself," Duane explained, laughing. haven't got a whole Ipt of capital left, you know, after my foolish fliers in the last tlfree years. 1 want to be sure what I’m doing be fore 4 go in again. But It seems to me that this town—Well, it's as tliongh It were asleep. Somebody’s going to step In here and pick up a few fine spots for factories, a few choice cor ners for grain elevators, and then after a while ait back fend take big exercise clipping coupons. And It seems to turn I was just born for a coupon-clipper.” “I wish you luck, my toy. I can’t think of a pleasanter Indoor sport.” And so while Duune was satisfied to leave the Harmer Motor company to Jerrold’s manlpalatton, Jerrold was satisfied that it should be so, for be knew the young man was keeping a wary eye on things in general, and that when the opportunity came for him to cut loose for himself, this time at least he would be sure of his ground. He told Prudence about it. “That’s nice,” she said, warm in her approval. “It’s Just like families—thqy do so much better in separate honses.” “You can hardly call him part of the family,” protested Jerrold. “The way that girl acts—It’s Insulting!” Dnane wrote to Jerry. She did not trouble to return the letter by posl, she merely tore the envelope across a couple of times, unopened, and hand ed it to her father. “Take It down and give It to him. will you?’ “Now, Jerry, hove a heart.” object ed the badgered father. “Why do you insist on dragging me Into this thing? Why, ft will make him feel like a fool to have me pass It across to him. with the eompliuumts of the house, and so forth. Mail Itl Stamps are cheap ‘enough!" “Daughters are a nuisance, after all, aren’t they, ■ father?” site agreed, and went out at once in her little car to Inspect the cottage on which ahe was engaged. Jetrold, thus left with the scraps of the futile correspondence, turned to Prudence. “What ahull I do?' he asked help lessly. . —- "I don't know,” she said gently. “Whst do you think?" So Jerrold carried It down to the' office and sent for Duane, ’it’s none of my’‘hnsinesR, of course.” he said. "Don’t think I care how much yon correspond with the family—and don't blame me—but I don't know what else to do with It. She gave it to me and said to bring It to you.” He passed the bits of paper to Puany hastily as though they turned his fingers. Duane examined them hopefully, sow the unbroken seal of the envelope. “She didn’t read It did she?’ he said dejectedly. “I don’t know, maybe she did.” said Jerry’s father. “She took It upstairs, and It was quite a while before she came down. Maylte she read It while she was up, and then sealed It again to fool you. I wouldn’t put It past her." Dunne laughed, and examined the envelope more hopefully, hut the seal bore no faint trace of tampering fingers. “1 know th,ey say, Xfever say die, and try, try again, and all that non sense,” Jerrold went on gloomily. “But I don’t put much stock In It In this case. Jerry’s not a stubborn girl, nat urally. IT she makes a mistake, she always admits-it and rights about face. I don’t # think she likes you—if you’ll excuse me for saying so. And I don’t think—” “You don't need to,” said Duane grimly. “But she. dogs like me. And she brought me out here, and by the Eternal, I'll stick If it takes ten years!” “Well, I think you’re wasting your tlipe v my boy, but have It your own way.” Jerrold was sympathetic. "I don’t understand girls myself. Pru dence isn’t like that—*you can always talk her down.” • (TO BE CONTINUED ) T • :tax notice TAX LEVIES BY SCHOOL DISTRICTS FOR THE YEAR 1225.
