and left her alone.

''Shall l get ticket?"

The cars were crowded, but he found
a seat, and, putting her in it with the
old air of propfietorship that had al
ways been SO sweet to her, he seated
himself beside her in silence.
The train ratified on, and as<they sat
SO near together, yet so very far apart.

time they had travelled that road to-

their honeymoon.
How happy they had been then!

questions rang-had there been just

little forbearance, little sacrificing Of

figure beside him. They would not be
able to deceive the little mother after
all. Happy? With the old sparkle all
gone from her eyes and those pathetic
little lines about her mouth! And he
had sworn to love her. to cherish her
and protect her through good and i'll

lively his hand closed over hers as it
lay listlessly on the seat beside him.
At the touch of his fingers she turned
and something shone in her eyes as she
drew closer to him.

as the conductor threw open the door

Philip d. Armour one day received a
very long letter from an agent in re-
gard to conditions of trade in the coun-
try through which he was travelling.
Page after page was devoted to telling
his employer that the weather and I'M
certain crop conditions were RESPONSE
Bile for the meager orders and not a
lack of energy or perseverance on his
own part. Rain was needed in that
section. With the first downpour hope
would enter into the respondent COM
munity, and an order commensurate
with the benefits granted to parched
earth could be expected. Rain saturat-
ed the earth, lengthy letters continued
to arrive. but no orders.
"How about orders?" wrote the mer-
chant, who was weary of footing non
productive expensive accounts and
reading long letters. "Write and let
me know in the fewest possible words
what merchants say now that they
have rain"
By return mail the famous merchant
received letter which told him in a
few words the reception accorded the
agent in the newly drenched territory,

Its Business Prospects-Granite BUSH
ness-Relay House Changes Hands.
rne town OF Franklin teeis the loss OF
the late John Paul Gordon aud Walter
Boardmsn Blsisdeil, in Industrial, general
and social ways, although deserving and
ambitious successors have taken their
places. The business circles OF the whole
county felt the loss Of these two business
men. They were force that the town
could III afford to lose.
The death or retirement in a small
community Of one or more OF it's pro-
gressive business men Is dlways set back
to large number OF people who are a
long time in getting over their depend
ence on The business done by them. It
position. The changed conditions must
have time to get adjusted, and a new
basis established. Even the successors
are at a certain loss for a proper routine
no matter how closely allied they may
have formerly been.
Frank e. Blaisdell succeeded W. b.
Blaisdeil Ia the granite and general mer-
chandise business; he has grown up with
the business, and promises TO become a
worthy successor.
9 Truman Bisisdel may be said to have
succeeded J. p. Gordon in the granite
ates the plant at the head of the bay, and
Sherman 5. Scammon his successor in the
mill aud lumber business at West Frank
lin. He is live Yankee, aid has the
property humming in oid-time shape.
When water Is low he runs his steam
plant; when logs are scarce he resurrects
some from the bottom OF the i-pond-
logs that have evaded the saw Of former
proprietors for years. Mr.. Scammon is
not bit bashful about arousing them
from their Rip Van Wrinkle resting place,
and converting them into marketable
long and short lumber, headings, shingles,
laths, firewood and sRwdust, products and
byproducts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank p. Gott succeeded
Mr.. Gordon in the general merchandise
business and the store is as well stocked as
ever.
The retirement OF Mr.. and Mrs. W.
Thomas Havey, OF the Relay house, this
week, makes an important change in the
local hotel business. Mr.. and Mrs. Havey
have been lifelong hotel people. They
have purchased the Alphonso Havey
house nearby, and have made many
changes in Its general appearance, and
now have a coy home. Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Hsvey will renovate the Relay
house and open 1t next week to the pub
lie. Gradually necessary improvements
" III he made 10 suit the needs OF the
travelling public. The splendid location
aud arrangement of the house warrant a
good business from the start, and 1t is
"a fe to predict success for the new proprf-
etors.

Not Friends, just Gushers.

In big department store a dainty,
pretty little woman in the act of buy
ing some lace caught sight of another
pretty little woman who was buying
some ribbon. As their eyes met both
shoppers dropped the articles at which
they had been looking and rushed into
each others arms.
"Old and dear friends reunited after
many years" thought the clerk behind
the counter.
At last the time for parting came.
"Now do come and see me real soon,"
said the first woman.
"Oh. never pay calls, you know" re-
piled the other. "You come and see
me-"
"Well. don't know your address"

the real situation.

himself disgustedly.-New York Press.
