Unto the Third
Generation
By CICELY ALLEN

Francesca climbed the stairs with
dragging steps. Dick caught up with
her and supported her elbow with his
strong. firm hand. 1t was good to
feel his support, his presence, even
though she had grown somewhat ac-
customed to 1t, and she turned to him
with wan smile.
At the head of the first flight of stairs
they turned into Mrs. Millers little
sitting room. and Francesca dropped
YEARLY into the low rocker by the
window. Dick sat on the window
ledge swinging his feet. His hall bed-
room was on the floor above. Fran
cesca had the room next to Mrs. Mil
ler's. but since their engagement had
been announced the good natured land
lady had rather turned her little sit
ting room over to their use.
"In my de IS young folks didn't have
to do their counting in the park, and
don't think it's right and proper"
she had said in explanation to her old
est boarder, crusty bachelor.

on the commercial highway and loved.
At least Dick was quite sure Of 1t on
his side. Tonight-well, francesca

American with regard to the English

was going to pay DO much ship II to
the market and make any money. The
Kennebec was broken by half u dozen
falls and rapids along this distance.
and the expense of the 'carries' and
reloading below the falls wns almost
prohibitivc. But when the harvest time
came the squire was ready with strong
hogsheads that his cooper had been
busy making all summer. The grain
was packed into these. and they were
rolled into the river. They fioated with
the current. bobbed along the rapfds
and shot the falls in safety. and the
sQuire's men collected them a. they
passed the port of destination. Both
grain and hogsheads brought good
prices The squire left good fortune.
As he felt age approaching he put
his men at work on the construction Of
q big tomb In the garden in the rear
Of the old mansion that stn1ds as one
Of the show places In the town Of
Athens. On his deathbed he issued
commands to his relatives to place his
body In the lcaden coffin he had bought
some months earlier and after It had
coffin full OF Jamaica rum. The curious
stipulation was carried out carefully.
Then when the old mans will was
read It wns discovered TINT the testator
wanted his relatives ever to bear him
In mind, and his method Of jarr1ng
their memory annually was this: The
will directed attention to the little
sprout sticking up at the head OF the
casket The command was That nm
nually each June the chief heir should
enter the old tomb. bringing jug
of rum. and that he should replen'
ish the supply In the coffin. As the
penalty for failing to do this was for
feiture of the rights as chief heir. the
squlres coffin has been kept filled.
The family removed from the old
mansion some years ago In order to
afford the sons and daughters more
advantages In one OF the cities In
Maine. Recently the heir upon whom
devolves the duty of carrying the Jug
of rum to the estimable and well pre-
served old gentleman In Athens sus
pended his business engagements for a

 REAL ESTATE MARKET

The local real estate market showed more activity yesterday than in any other day so far this week. No deals of much Importance were transacted but the num- Der Of smaller ones reported was large.
 The past week in the real estate mar ket has been one of the most active In the last four or five months but the fact Is noted that most of the deals were com paratively small. Residence property all over the city is selling for good prices and at a rapid rate but in the business DOT tion activity Is lacking. The demand for business property is growing every week but the supply is continually growing smaller.
 The building circles of Birmingham and its suburbs have shown more activity in the last two months than they have at this season in previous years. The num- ber of new and remodeled stores is large and the number of new residences will probably surpass all records.
 The following real estate transfers were filed in the probate court yesterday:
