A BLUFF

Raymond Springer was well named.

did not propose to wait for affairs to
take their natural course. He did pro-
pose to be mp and doing, with view
to forcing circumstances to turn Ia his

or the same kind. She had taught
school long enough to save thousand
dollars, and Raymond, who had risen
from typesetter to reporter-if that is
to be considered a rise--had as much
more. They had many sitting with
their heads together and sometimes
their lips, trying to figure out plan
70 better themselves by using their cap

married, go west and start a paper

er paper, the Wasp, owned by man

question OF ultimate success hung on

The Springersnsed every economy, the
editor setting much Of his type himself

same. New subscribers came steadily.
Every one praised the spFightliness of
the paper, and there were a few adj
vertisements offered, though these
must be accepted for little or nothing,
