H. T. Names against the estate Of the
late @. W. Goodlander brought in q

fraud. Both juries in the previous
trisls disagreed.

John Saxton sat in the office of the

July. Fenton had just left him. The
transfer to Margrave syndicate had
been effected and John would no more

His work in Clarkson was at an end.
The Neponset Trust comepany had
called him to Boston for a conference,
which meant, he knew, a termination
Of his service with them. He had
lately sold the Poindexter ranch, and
so little property remained on the Ne
ponset's books that it could be cared
for from the home office. He had not
opened the afternoon mail. He picked
up a letter from the top of the pile
and read:

A Chicago architect has suggested
that the ideal theater, that is, a thea
ter which affords the greatest protec-
ton to the audience, should be built
with a large stack over the stage in
addition to the skylights, which stack
should be so arranged with collapsible
hampers that the slightest heat should
make permanent draught immed1-
ately from the auditorium to the stage
and up thru the stack, as we'll as thru
the skylights.
The advantages of such an arrange
ment have been described again and
again, and indeed, were suggested by

The ubiquitous trunk inventor is
abroad with a brand-new thought that
will appeal strongly to all femininity,
and, therefore, to the world at large.
The primary and chief object of this
invention is to avoid having to lift
trays to gain access to the body of
the trunk. and this is accomplished
in such a neat and simple manner
that the usual construction of the
trunk itself is not altered in the slight
est. The tray is supported on arms
in such manner that when the trunk
lid is lifted the tray is also elevated
sufficiently to permit of access to the
trunk, while at the same time the
tray itself is equally accessible, as will

Porter had done well in Traction and
he owed much to John; but John pro-
tested that he preferred being thanked
to being tipped; but the lawyer per-
suaded him at last that the idiosyn-
crasies of the rich ought to be re-
spected.
Porter felt his burdens slipping
from him with unexpected satisfaction
He grew jaunty in his old way as he
chided his contemporaries and friends
for holding on; as for himself, he told
them he intended TO die rested" and
he adjusted his affairs so that they
would give him little trouble in the
future. The cottage which he had
bought on the North Shore was place
they had all admired the previous
summer. Porter had liked it because
there was enough ground to afford
! the lawn and flower beds which he
at home. The place was called "Red
Gables" and Porter had bought it
with it's furniture, so that there was
little to do in taking possession but
to move in. The Whipples were their
first guests, going to them in mid
July, when they were fully installed
The elder Bostonians whom Porter
had met the previous summer prompt

new dignity in becoming a cottager.
The previous owner of RED Cables
had lately failed in business and they
found in the advent of the Porters a
sign of the replenishing of the east
from the west, which interested them
philosophically. Porter lacked their
own repose, but they liked to hear
him talk. He was amusing and inter-
esting, and they had already found
his prophecies concerning the markets
trustworthy. The ladies of their fam
lilies heard with horror his views on

These gentlemen had begun to in

this perfectly well, he was very anx-

he put it. This required additional
money, but he was able to command il
