an alfalfa crop to take care of and

was familiar with every tomb sad

furniture of the lowly home had to
be sold to pay his debts. 8he had left
only two relatives In the world that
she knew of—a half uncle In the city,
John Traynor, and Mark Randall, her
dead mother's brother, old and infirm,
who eked out a bare living working
for a small brick plant.
Her first thoughts .turned to the lat
ter. He was a simple-minded, gentle-
mannered person whom twice Sallie had
nursed through severe spells of sick
ness out of sheer pity, and to whom
she carried a mile away a part of her
regular Saturday baking of bread and
cake. Sallie was taken In temporarily
by a kind-hearted neighbor. Two daya
later there appeared the rich relative
from the city and the poor one from
Brook Hollow,

Blouses that should meet
with a quick disposal
If we had to buy Blouses in the regular way, we would be obli
ged to pay for them at considerably higher price, and in turn
would of course be obliged to sell them for a higher figure. We
saved in buying; consequently you save in their purchase from us.
In view of the cost of Cotton fabrics, of laces and trimmings of
buttons and thread, as well as of labor, it’s rather surprising to
us that a really desirable Blouse of recognized and unquestioned
quality, such as these can be produced to retail at this price. Only
a very economical system of Blouse manufacture and sale could
have made this possible.
Our stock of Cotton Blouses is now brimful of all that is new
and wanted and derivable. At the various prices you will find a
goodly selection of styles to choose from, and the values in every
instance are entirely uncommon.
