Harry Westcato had written Jones & Brown Realty company that he would Inspect L?owry farm on the fif teenth, but finding ho could get away on the first decided he would visit tho place without warning. When he stepped from the train at the little town he did not suspect that Brown of Jones & Brown happened to bo on the depot platform at the time nor that tho latter personage read with some alarm the name on the stranger's handbag. Westcote had never been in this community before, butvthe liveryman assured him the place would be easy to find. All he needed to dp was to keep right on the Wellsville road un til ho reached a big white house sur rounded by tall lombardy poplars. That was the Lowry farm. Westcote did not know that Brown had followed him to the livery barn, and had heard announced his destlnar tion, and then had hastened to his own rig and was then some distance in advance and making good time. Brown, however, was greatly per* turbed in mind until, reaching an ab rupt turn In the roud where a lane trailed off to the north, a brilliant thought struck him. Climbing from his buggy he mounted the fence where the old a signboard solemnly pointed the way "To Wellsville" and with a wrench swung it so it pointed down the lane. "There!" he Announced to himself, "maybo that will hold him until I have time to get that Lowry girl out of the way and get the papers signed. Then let him come on. When Westcote a few minutes later ?came to the altered signboard, he turned obediently down the lane as in dicated. "That other road looks as if it went to Wellsville, but I still bellevo In signs; and this one points with such a confident, solemn air there is no mistaking it, so here goes." A half mile further on the lane narrowed until two vehicles could pass with difllculty, If at all.'' "What kind of a place can Wells ville be if this be the khid of Toa<r that leads to it?" he muttered. "I1 wonder what would happen If I should meet another team." He had scarcely finished the thought before he was face td4B? with that ??ry predicament. The lane dipped Into a forested hollow, and arotmd a curve eame a team attached to a ' spring wagon. "Good morning!" he said gall/. ~Would you ilk* to passf* "1 believe I would If It ooold be ar ranged." "Are you A stranger also In this "fro? fin u 'native/ as they say down here." "Then perhaps you will tell me what the custom la when people meet like this. I suppose I should back to the nearest switch, should I not?" "Do you see that little gap Just back of you? I believe you can back Into it and by lifting the buggy around a little can get turned the other way." "Yob, I believe I can do that. If L succeed will I bo facing the right way to reach tho Dowry farm?" "The Dowry farm! Why, that's our place. I am Miss Dowry." "I am Harry Westcote, here to In spect the Dowry farm. I believe Jones & Brown Realty company own it now?" "Not yet. They have offered to buy it and wo will probably close the trade in a day or two." "What! So that'B the deal, eh? IIow much are they offering you for tho place?" Tho question surprised her, but tho look showed no impertinence was in tended. . * . "Twelve hundred. You see It Is not very good land and now that father is dead we are not able to make much out of It and we're glad to get their of fer." "Miss Dowry," said Henry quickly, "I came down here to buy that farm, for I have found that it contains the richest deposits of iron ore In this country. I sent an engineer here to Investigate and on his report I have agreed to pay $24,000 for It.'* ^ "What!" was all Miss Dowry could got voice to say. "Another thing. If you accept this, I shall want to remain for a while and oversee the development of the mines. I have no use for the house, and you and your mother may retain that and some of tho land near It if you will board me while I am here." It took some repetition of this prop osition before Miss Ix>wry could grasp the reality of It all, but his sincerity could not long be doubted. Quite as difficult a feat was tho getting of Harry's buggy about, and by the time it was accomplished good fellowship had been firmly established. | When they came to tho signboard* I Harry pointed to It triumphantly. "Now you see I Was right about that road. Read what that says." "Well, of all things! That should point the other way." Souio WBg baa changed that for a trick." "Perhaps, but it must hare been an. inspired wag; and I'm a firmer be liever than ever that luck comes from following signs, aren't yopt" "Yes, Indeed!" she answered quick ly- ' "1L you had not met me this morn ing, we v might have sold the place to Jones" & Brown." Within her heart she knew very, well it was something very different; that he had meant; and _ she sksi knew It . was to that "something dif-i ferentr that her heart responded]
