bought c0Zy house on the East Side,
fronting small park. and installed
his mother as mistress of the estab-

Having firmly established his posi-

he turned his attention to the commits

a shortage in the cranberry crop, he
bought a large part of the available

CHAPTER Xl.
Sans New York Triumphs.


Ignoring his mothers protest. Sam
employed a dressmaker and for two
weeks Mrs. Rounds found pleasure in
assisting the seamstress with her
work Sam had acquainted the lat
ter with his secret and she agreed to
protect it. But his precautions We're
in vain
Like other crimes less difficult to
condone, this one was destined to be
revealed. The preachers wife called
on Mrs. Rounds, and since they had
become very friendly, was shown the
new gown and the black lace shawl
Whatever of envy arose in that good
woman's breast was lost in surprise
when Mrs. Rounds innocently men
toned the price she had paid for the
silk
"SiXty-fve cents yard for that
silk" she exclaimed. "Why. my dear
Mrs. Rounds, you surely must be jest
ing. had a dress like that when
was married, and it cost six dollars a
yard. And that lace at thirty cents.
1t surely cost five dollars a yard, and
perhaps more. That beautiful shawl
must have cost more than hundred
dollars. I understand now she con.
tinued in some confusion. Your son
intended TO surprise you. 1t was very
good of him and very clumsy in me to
reveal his secret"

Rounds looked with awe at the gar

Tel ye what we'll dew" said Sam.
How many yards does it take fer a
dress? Fifteen? All right. Wen
give ye sixty cents a yard-cash.
What dye say, Mr.. Farnsworth? Is
it a bargain"
"Ail right groaned the merchant.
1T leaves NE nothing, but I'll do it
as a favor. Of course you want some
slack lace for trimmings"
sure replied Sam.
Sc methint; about twenty-five cents
yard" suggested Mrs. Rounds. She
felt like one who, having fallen from
grace, decides to go to perdition with
flying colors. No one in Rehoboth
ever had possessed a black silk gown
with lace trimmings.
Here is something at thirty cents
yard which l can honesty recon-
mend" said Mr.. Farnsworth After
inspecting cheaper qualities, on which
Mr.. Farnsworth fixed higher prices,
Mrs. Rounds consented to the pur-
chase of eight yards, though Mr..
Farnsworth advised ten.
Sans crowning triumph was the
purchase of a black lace shawl, listed
at one hundred and fifty dollars. After
ten minutes of dickering with Mr.
Farms worth, Sam succeeded in acquir-
ing that treasure for $1125. Like
wise he be ught a twenty-five dollar
bonnet for three and a half dollars
Handkerchiefs, stockings, pettcoats
and shoes fell into Sans hands at
ridiculous prices, until his mother.

she would not consent to the purchase

from a generous roll of greenbacks.
On the plea of arranging for express
