Two months later Hugh rode out to
Ottertail City on the stage from Per-
ham.
The beauty of the country far ex-
ceeded his expectations. The stage
driver told Hugh that the store in OF
tertail City had the name of carrying
the best line of goods in all that coun-
try.
The cousins met before the door of
their new store just as the sun was
sinking over Ottertail Lake.
What a hopeful person there must
have been to name this a city," Hugh
said with a roar of laughter as he
shook hands with his cousin.
Have you ever seen anything finer
in the line Of scenery" Lindsey asked.
"Never! 1t is all scenery"
"Well, I'll tell you right now, BUSH
ness has been fine the last two
months

of your old sweetheart, have you?"

subject restl No, 1 haven't seen her,

They went into the large country
store and Lindsey showed his cousin
about and talked of the Improvements
he hoped to make as time went on.
Later in the evening the two walked
on the shore of the lake in the moon
light and Lindsey showed Hugh the
place where he expected to build cot
tage.
The next morning Hugh borrowed a
horse and rode away on a tour of ex-
ploration.
"Ill settle down to business in day
or two" he explained, "but 1 must see
what kind of a trap I'm in first"
Lindsey guessed at once the state of
his cousins thought.
"Homesick the first day! Well.
might have known this wasn't the
place for Hugh"
That proved to be a very interesting
dey to Hugh. Riding along a secluded
woodland road he saw a deer start
from thicket, and bounding before
him, disappear over a hill.
1t was his first experience of the kind
and his regret for .resigning his situa-
ton in Chicago was gone. Winter was
months away, and for the present he
was completely satisfied with Ottortail
City and the surrounding country.
At noon he came out into the open
farming country. 1t looked like the
country where Hugh had spent his
summer vacations in Michigan and he
felt more at home. There was a little
white school house at the crossroads,
and the children were running and
dancing about in the yard.

the pretty school teacher" Hugh said
to himself. laughing. 1T would help
me through the summer considerably
if ] could have a little romance"
He tied his horse to the fence before
the school house and knocked at the
door. One of the children called out to
him: You can &c in; teacher is in
there"
The teacher sat at the desk with her
head resting on her hand.

A SCHOOL OF

Hugh Merritt and his cousin, Lindsey
Moore, had been employed for FIVE
years in one OF the great wholesale
houses of Chicago.
The young men still made their home
with their parents, their fathers own
ing, in partnership, a small grocery
store in suburban town.
For more than year Lindsey Moore
had felt a great desire for a home of
his own. The year after he was grad
uated from high school he had been
engaged to Marion Williams, the pref
test girl in his class.
This had been Lindsey's one treas
ured experience in love, and he had
sought no other.
Marion had moved to a distant town
in Minnesota and had answered only
one of his letters and the romance
ended.
Hugh had been engaged times with
