“You are a lot*l!” growled Samuel
]lo\ ilen.
‘‘I liope Cleora does not share In
the same sentiment,” observed, Bliss,>.
hopefully. "—■—
•*She will when she knows the de
tails!” stormed Boyden. "Why, what
sense or reason was there in yuur

company, not you. It's a shame, an
outrage! '1'hut was your indivitlual
money, a lid it would have set you and
Cleora up at housekeeping, it would
have furnished capital to start up
attain, and now—"
Mr Boyden choked up at a memory
of the fearful blunder Bliss had com
mitted in heinj; honest and proving
the true man.
“I did Just what wan riuht,” replied
Bliss very quietly,'hut with implueu-
hle conviction. "When l sold my best
friend. Boss Evans, $lf>,(K)0 worth of
material to build the dam at Moreton,
I knew it was a risk.. 1 could not con
sent to charge the eompany for a line
of credit that might not he met. I
guaranteed the hill. The dam was a
failure. The money Is gone. I paid
it. That ends It —paid dollar for dol
lar. and I’m kdad I could do it!''
“llumhuK!” snorted old Boyden.
"Sentiment !” spoke up a new voice,
and Warren Bliss stood fairly electri
fied as the woman to whom he was
eRpaired appeared at the door of the
room. The mask was down now. It
was the cruel contempt In that dark
siren face that told Bliss that he hud
escaped a precipice.
"You will understand, I think,” she
said frigidly, extending their engage
ment ring. "Since you think more of
ottiers in divesting yourself of your
means than of me, you show your shal
low regard.”
"Cleora! Cleora!" cried Bliss poign
antly. hurt to the soul, hut she turned
from him. There was no sympathy in
the malignant faee of John Boyden.
The young man sighed. Then with s
how lie silently left the house.
It seemed as if amid that terrible
•Mow to his pride, his hopes, his loy
alty. he was crushed, hWnded, stunned?
He was sick at heart. Me could not
yet face the world. Bliss turned at
the doorway and struck out, not for
the public street, hut to reach the
quiet, shady Jane at the side of the
garden reach. Me wished to he alone;
to think, to recover from the rude
shock that had revealed Cleora Boy-
den in her true colors.
A light, form had crossed the gar
den a moment previous, hut he was
too absorbed to note its presence. Jtilt
In the deserted lane he chose a grassy
spot beside the hedge and buried his
fin e in his hands In painful thought.
In a single day he had seen the
business of years go by the hoard.
There had been the consolation, how
ever. that the assets had paid otT ev
ery dollar of debt that is. with his
own private Inherited fortune thrown
In. Me believed in Cleora. Me had
anticipated that, like a true woman,
she would syinputhi/.e with him in his
alfliction. comfort and encourage him.
Mow cruelly was to- disappointed!
Suddenly Bliss lifted his head In
sharp surprise. Some one was sok-
hmg on 'T+rc—fa her side of the hedge.
Then catm* the words:
“And oli, Midget ' I low cold and
cruel they were! After all his love
for Cleora ami hlS noble loyalty to his
—friend ! Urey-have throw n hum out on
the cold world just as I'm le John sfiid
T would have to go. Oh. cruel! cruel!
Anil Mr. Bliss was so kind to ns!'’
re.Ting through the hedge Bliss
made out a young girl caressing a pet
kitten and eontiding t" the purring an
imal her heart 's grief. Me k<ncvv I mr-
ofliy Lane well a poor relative of the
haughty Cleora. lie had pitied her
life of drudgery, and once when Miss
Boyden was away had thoughtfully
strolled up to the place with a box
of caramels for Pmothy and a pretty
new ribbon for Midget s snovvC neck.
It had been a pleasant' hour and he
had ttof forgotten. Now vast sorrow
slid pity oppressed him as he realized
that the hard hearted selfishness of
the Boy dens was to he w reaked on
this helpless. Innocent orphan.
It was two weeks Inter when a Jiew
surprise came to Bliss. Me had rent
ed u vacant store in the village, and
his clear business record enabled him
to secure a limited stock of goods.
Cleora was a dead issue with him now,
bur his business pride was left. Me
resolved to build anew among those
who knew and resiaycted him.
"It’s only I'orothy and Midget, Mr.
Bliss.” announced a sweet, confiding
voice, and. looking up from his desk.
Bliss recognized Dorothy. In one arm
*he bore a bundle, in the other her
pet kitten.
"They are going away to the sea
side. (Aeon* and her father.” she ex-
plalrred “All the money my mother
left me is gone, he says, so they
turned me ont. But I came straight
to you!" cried the little waif brightly,
as If that fact solved “a 11 troubles in
her path.
“Oh. yon want advice, little one?”
said Bliss *n a kindly tone.
“No, I don’t,” dissented Dorothy,
EUenuomly. "I know what ■ jreat.
grand .nun you are, and L went to
work for you and "help J h, we.
need so little. Midget and I, and an
old lad./ in the village will give us •
free home for getting the meals and
keeping the house in order. I’ve
thought it all out. Daytimes I'll come
here and be your clerk. ‘You can
teach me how to sell goods and keep
your 1, hooks, and I’ll work like every
thing. Oh. please, don’t say no!”
A humid blur came before the eyes
of Bliss at an appreciation of the im
petuous,- unselfish devotion nf_ this
poor little wayfarer. Me saw that he
v would fairly break her heart if he de
nied her.
It was wonderful how quickly Dor
othy learned the business way. She
was bright, joyous eompany all day
long. Then. too. the business began
to grow. At the end of six months
she was proudly earning a salary. She
wore neat-tit ting clothes. She vyaa
“Miss Lane” now.
t»ne afternoon, Just as Dorothy left
the si ore for the day, Bliss stood gaz
ing after her raptly. Something new,
something love inspiring stirred with
in his soul.
“Ileilo!" uttered a sudden, 'jolly
voice, and a glad hand slapped Bliss
heartily on the shoulder. •
“Why, Boss Evans!” exclaimed Bliss
In surprise.
“That's who. Been East among
the big promoters. Your carrying that,
hill gave me a breathing spell. New
company formed to carry.on the proj
ect, your in my pocket with
interest, and-—you noble fellow! You
are one in a thousand. But the pretty
little maid?”
"She has been my helper, my guide,
my truest friend,” pronounced Bliss
fervently. “She has been my refuge,
my inspiration through all.► my dark
moments, hut, tomorrow—”.
“Thinking of something, aren't
you?" railed the quick thinking Evans.
"1 am—and It Is this: Dorothy
shall become my wife—if she will
have, me.”
And Miss Cleora Boyden returned
Wearied from a fruitless quest for a
husband at the seashore, found "that
beggarly brat” and Warren Bliss set
tled down happily In a beautiful home,
with the money and tlm.growing husi
ness to maintain It.

By KEMAL STRAIGHT
Mrs. Van Loon was on her way to
town to find a new maid. It is dlflieult
to keep help in the suburbs at best, and
Mrs. V an Loon’s household was not of
the best. Not that she didn't pay good
wages- she did—she paid more than
did many of her-neighbors; hut some
how or other things didn’t run smooth-
Ty In the Van Loon menage.
The poor lady entered the train'at
the small suburban station, out of
breath, red in the face. She had just
made U, and that was all.
She plumped down in a seat and
looked about her. She saw no one she
knew. She fidgeted about. It was so
tiresome to ride in alone.
The- man sitting next her shrunk
nearer the window, interposing his
paper to shut out a disturbing ele
ment. She craned her neck, trying to
glimpse the headlines in the sea of
hewspapers surrounding Iter.
Finally she settled down.
Could we have sensed Iter thought's
they would have registered something
like this: ft
"I hope Dorothy will remember To
wear her overshoes to school today—.
”1 don’t think Mrs. Jones’ dress Is
very good looking even it she (lid pav
ST'iO‘ for it—.
"If it wasn’t so hard to get a cook.
I’d iMm barge Maggie ; the toast this
morning was simply awful.
“There." grabbing at her shopping hag
convulsively, “I do believe I’ve for
gotten my trip ticket. I must have
left it <<n tiie bureau I’ll have to pay
full fare.
“Here’s the name _uf_ an agency
Phyllis gave me I really dmm thi,nk
it is a verv go t od one. Agencies are
such aw tul frauds. anyway."
So on ami on rambled her discon
nected thoughts, blurring one into an
other exactly as if she had taken sev
eral ’pictures upon tlie' sJme Mini. -
Tints Mrs. Van Loon's troubles
came. She managed her house, her
affairs, her servants as she managed
her thoughts result chaos.
The train reached the terminal. Mrs.
Van Loon gathered herself together
ami plunged into the rushing throng
of commuters, to wander from agency
to agency in a futile search foF ‘‘hclp."
She had wasted those precious min
utes in the morning train, when she
slmtild have directed her thoughts and
kept them upon the business in hand.
She should huv;e litade a mental pic
ture of just the sort of person she
wished .to employ, arranged every de
tail of the agreement to he made, and
keeping her ideas ttrmly in mind,
visited ilo* agencies or chosen some
other way of letting her wants Be
known.
She would surely have found the
person for whom she was seeking.
If you want, results, watch your
thoughts and look forward to . the
ihmg y.'U desire.

People for the next 12 months for only $1.00. Not more than
two years in advance will be accepted at this special price. -

you owe us for one year and two months at the rate of $1.50 a
year, which is 12V2 cents a month, marking a total of $1.75. Thus
