1906, BY DAILY Story Pub. Col

A tired-looking woman came out of
the house and stood in the little patch
OF sunshine on the north porch. She
gazed longingly down the dust-white,
country road, and the last forlorn hope
died out her wan eyes as she returned
to her kitchen.
Josiah Lenks had not been prepos-
sessing OF manner nor endowed with
many endearing qualities. He had
been parsimonious, tyrannical, fault.
finding and stubborn, but his wife only
remembered that he was her man.
and that it was very lonely in this
quiet, orderly house, which, as Is
usual at such occasions, had been
filled to overlooking in the interim OF
demise and funeral, but was now de-
serted.
She wished again and again that
her son, 10, would come. She had
not known just where to reach him.
One seldom did know where to reach
10. He had a comet-like way of APP
pearing and disappearing. He had
been wanderer since the days of
schoolboy truancy, and he had served
in many capacities-as trainboy, cir
Gus rider, soldier, tramp and stage
driver. In fact, everywhere but on his
fathers farm. She had not known
where to send word to Beth, either.
Beth, the little, orphaned child of
distant cousin, had grown to young
womanhood on the farm, and then had
gone to a distant city to teach. She
was away on a vacation, now, and had
no settled address. With these two
absent, Mrs. Lenks was indeed alone
Suddenly there hurried into the
kitchen tall. ST. png-shouldered man

Mrs. Lenks.

Mrs. Lenks tried to sit comfortably
in the parlor, but its unfamillarity OPP
pressed her. So she compromised and
took the little, Hanback, rocker into
the dining room.

he returned home late that afternoon,

butter she used cream and utensils
that were very dirty, and remarked
that, while most of the butter was sold
in Banjor, he had to eat some of it,

Did What Tyler Cobb Told Him To.


Tyler Cobb, noted both for his
wealth and eccentricity, was a well
known character in Brockton about
twenty-five years ago. One morning
about Z o'clock he was accosted on
the street by a man who asked for
job. Just then another man appeared
who demanded attention, and, turning
to the first conner, Cobb said: "Sit
right down, sir; sit right down, sir;
don't you move sir; want to find you
here when l come pack, sir"
CHANGING to return that way at IL

sitting on the curbstone, Approach

In fact, the house on the sunny
promontory OF Monaco has never been
so prosperous as now, and It could
probably spare ten times what Thorne
is reputed to have taken, without quit

The multi-millionaire of the United
States away for his holiday on the
continent, finds Monte Carlo an ire
sistible magnet. In the United States
a widespread prejudice against gam.
bling compels the man of millions to
curb his tendencies But once he
reaches the domain of the Prince OF
Monaco he can let down the bars and
play to his hearts content for a sum
as great as he likes. for it is one of the
laws of Monte Cnr4e that there is no
limit on the amount for which the
bank will contest.
The directors OF the Casino Com
pany OF Monte Carlo, the official title
OF the concern that conducts the gam
bling resort, recently struck balance
for the year. They found a profit that
a Standard Oil corporation might not
scruple to own, matter OF $1,000, 900.
1t Is a rare business enterprise that
can coin MONEY at that rate.
This sum is divided among the
