enough money in the logging business
to be able to retire when he was forty
seven years old. while Tom Tadding-
tons mother had to teach school fol
living until she got married. There
is a social gulf between our familie:
that never can be abridged"
"Oh, bother your CULTS and bridges,
cried Fannie. 81 told Tom that
couldn't think of being his wife, ant
he started away swearing that h
would either kill himself or propos
to Clara Coulton. Think of it! If h
kills himself for love Of me all the pa
pers will want my picture and prin
columns and columns about it; or,
he goes and marries Clara see wha
fun it'll be to tell the other girls HOY
