fee next day he met Tower, To whom
by way of encouragement he mention

"Why do you waste time with re-
ports?' demanded Tower. "Why don't
you go and talk il into himT
Millers opinion was somewhat shak-
en-, and, 10 be brief about IL, he was
led 10 lay the matter before Stella
Wright, who strongly urged action. A
rapid and exciting conversation occur
red between them, and II left very
confused impression on Miller's mind
but after n long period of meditation
late at night he decided that the love
OF his life depended upon old Samuel
Westcotts decision; that Stella would
marry him if he carried the day
Thus urged 10 action, he went down to
the office next morning and had long
and earnest talk with Westcott. who
in reply said only this: II didn't know
you were so desperate about ii. I'll
look into the matter a bit deeper,

MI had the effect of a wig that
has not been put on straight.
The parting was twisted
around over his left ear; there was a
tangled mass across his forehead, and
in the region Of the right ear the hair
came down smoothly, as 1t usually does
on the back of a mans head.
He was tall, thin and angular; his
face was long and narrow, but he had a
way of shutting it up like an accordion
when he compressed his lips. Yet he
was a kindly man, and most people in
the little city of NIillbridge did him
Justice in this particular. He was pres
ident of the Westcott Manufacturing
company. which made all sorts Of
things out of aluminium.
To him in his office entered Frank
Miller, just off the train from New
York He was twenty-eight years old,
OF good height and figure and handsome
in somewhat melancholy, light blond
fashion. He had been a boy in Mill
bridge, and his father had been long
time friend Of old Sam Westcott.
The instant that Miller appeared Mr.
Westcott began TO get out Of his chair
awkwardly, like a figure made of strips
of wood jointed with pegs.
He made quite a business Of taking
the young mans overcoat and hanging
II up on one Of a line Of pegs, remark
ing as he did so that the strap which
was upon the garment for that purpose
looked as if it might break at any mo-
ment
TT will hold" said Miller with
quick downward glance 1.-THE floors
clean"
Westcott had turned and was about
to sit down. He stopped suddenly as if
the pegs in his wooden joints had
stuck, and thus he remained for some
seconds suspended over the chair in
seemingly impossible attitude. Then
he gently subsidized, laughing silently.
That's your father all over again"
said he THE strap is waiting until it
finds a dirty place to drop the coat;
then it will break. Well. he was right;
he was right His luck was just as
bad as he said it was l knew him fifty
years"
1T passed on to me-" rejoined Miller.
81 wish l might have inherited his vir-
tues also"
There was a long silence during
which the lean old man stared steadily,
though dreamily, at his visitor.
well. we'll" said he at last. Lets
get down to business. You have looked
into this patent? You've seen the thing

yes. sir" replied Miller firmly. land
I'm prepared to say that it's a good
thing"
II think SO myself" said Westcott

chair and the tips of his fingers pressed

IRON LANDS ARE INVOLVED
In Contests Before the Government Land
Oflce at Marquette-New Region
for Ore.

Marquette. Mich, Aug. 24.-The gov
eminent land office here has made q
start on the hearing of a number of in
tereSting contests involving land con-
sidered of great prospective value. The
cases involve eight or ten tracts in the
new iron field in the southern Iart of
Marquette county. known as the Ches-
hire range. ore was discovered in that
section only a comparatively few
months ago. and since then the forma-
ton has been traced for several miles.
Diamond drills are at work locating
other deposits. and two mines are be-
ing opened-one. the Austin, by the
Cleveland Cliffs company.
When the fact of the discovery Of
iron leaked cut there was rush for
government land I'm that section. and
within few weeks all available tracts,
some located entirely remote from the
mineral formation, had been filed on.
Some of the tracts We're taken up UNI
der the timber and stone act. and il is
eight or ten Of these claims that are
being contested.

inheritance of the Grange

The system Of grange work is so
broad and so varied and so excellent in
its conception that IT appeals TO the
practical common sense, good judgment
and interest OF all law abiding rural
citizens. and il has awakened the well
wishes Of all classes of people through
out our land. Its conception is grand,
its precepts pure its teachings true, its
efforts high. its motives noble, and its
plans are wise. Such an organization
cannot fail i'm its endeavor, and it will
attract the best and noblest to its sup
port. The grange is a character build
er, home maker, an educator and
social benefactor. 1t is very closely
connected with the home, the church
and the school. the four forming one
vast intellectual chain which brings us
the richest fruits of our land.-Michi-

Miller flushed, but he answered with
out hesitation that such was the case.
Contingent upon my putting up the
money, of course" said Westcott.
"Do you believe" said Miller ear
nestly, that THAT my fathers SON
would be led by such a consideration or
by any consideration whatever to rec
ommend an investment to you unless it
seemed absolutely soundT
"No, sir; / don't" responded West
colt, bringing his lips together SO firmly
that his countenancs was shortened by

John Tower. whose brother in New
York had secured the control Of it, If
the process was worth anything at all
Il was worth a good deal Of money. and
Mr.. Westcott had Immediately begun
an investigation which was necessarily
hasty because Reginald Tower. the
brother referred TO. had only an option
on the patent. which must be made
good by the payment of the purchase

she had not come.
