do with small village property what
the money kings had done with rail
roads-buy dilapidated houses, put
them in repair and sell at profit or
keep them and live on the rental?
The idea was fascinating. She lay

property owner she must and would.
After eating breakfast at her friends

bargain in real estate.
Every house she passed which look

scanned with interest, and in some in
stances inquired if the property were
for SALE In view of a possible pur-
chaser, the price was generally raised

stood an old house which she especial

house became more kindly toward her;
but for the charity boy who had neith-
er money nor friends there were only
cold looks and scanty comfort

out prospecting, man came to see her
about selling the Hulsey property.
81 am one of the heirs,'' he stated.
''There are three of us and we are
tired of looking for a buyer. 1t hasn't
been so we could rent it fur a long
spell, and we amt none of us but
could use a bit of cash right handy
now that cold weather is a comm on.
l ben over to see Sary Ann an John

timbers, and three OF four rooms that
could be made habitable without much

be worth more than the price asked.
After ascertaining that the title was
good, she concluded the bargain as
soon as possible. 1t was early in Sep
