A STORY OF TODAY.

A STORY OF TODAY.
When Elliott Raymond bought farm
in Flint valley, it was not because he in
tended going into agriculture, or because
he wanted to be quoted as gentleman
farmer''-it was because he had money he
didn't know whit to do with.
Hurrying down to the station one IA orn
ing to catch the train in order to join the
first meet Of the Flint Valley Hunt club
he ran against his broker, who stopped
him long enough to say:
"Great Northeastern went up any mum
Der of points yesterday. We sold. III
send you check for 81, 900 today"
On the train Elliott had time to think
over several business matters, among them
the rise in Northeastern. -Four thousand
was d small sum to Elliott Raymond, but
still he didn't know what to do with 1T.
Banks were paying only three General
Metallic was away down. Zeal estate was
low, and 1t was still problem when the
train stopped and he climbed on to Tom
Harvey coach beside Miss Carruth. In
her society he forgot all about Northeast,
ern, General Metallic and banks that pay
