"Ticky -ticky- ticky- tick,'' repeated
the ticker
Believe me, Mrs. Hunt" he went on,
Il shall be only too glad to serve you"
You are so kind, Mr.. COlwell,' muir
INJURED the widow; and after a pause,
i came to see you about that money"
"Yes?"
They tell me in the trust company
that if I leave the money there with
out touching it I'll make $79 a month"
Let me see; yes; that is about what
you may expect.
Well, Mr.. COlwell, can't live on
that. Willie's school costs me $50, and
then there's Edith's clothes" she went
on with an air which implied that as
for herself she wouldn't care at all.
OF course. it's a blessing we have the
house; but taxes take UP so much; and
isn't there some way of investing the
money so it could bring more?'
L might buy some bonds for you.
lutely safe at all times, you viii have
to invest in very high grade securi-
ties, which will return to you about
342 per cent. That would mean, let's
see, $40 a month.

We'll. I'm glad he enjoyed himself
while he lived" she said quickly. Then.
after a pause: And, Mr. C'olweU if
l should get tired of the bonds, could
L always get my money back?"
You could always find a ready mar
ket for them. You might sell them for
little more or for a little less than
you paid"
I shouldn't like to sell them" she
said, with a business air, for less than
paid. What would be the sense?D
You are right. Mrs. Hunt" he said,

Couldn't you buy something for me.

No man can guarantee that, Mrs.
Hunt"

the ticker. In some inexpIicable way it
seemed TO him that the brassy sound
had an ominous ring, so he added:

but ceased abruptly as he became
aware Of it.
Very well. I'll send il to you to-
