<<W LII advance you t7o months

Baylor, picking up some pa
pers as If the question was settled.
And that wouldn't be half
enough. You couldn't even hire one
OF the cottages for that amoant," re-
piled Clifford Curtis, angrily.
"You should have done a little
figuring in the first place." was old
Baylor's crisp reply. There's an old
adage, ! believe, about looking before
you leap"

retort.

what about the fool and his mon
ey?"
''I'll do you the justice of saying
that according to that standard you
are no fool" with which parting shot
Cliff strode from his guardians Of
fee. ,
Clifford Curtis had Just concluded
his junior year at college. Dick Staley,
chum from preparatory days, who
had left college to fight bronchial
trouble in piney woods, had written
Cliff that a good hotel at lake Ro-
kono could be rented at an astonish-
ingly low figure. $500 for July and
August, and If he could fill 1t with
jolly men 1t would stand him in
great profit for the summer.
In short time Cliff had made up
q party of forty men at s8 per week,
with a lot more trying to get in on
the same terms. And then in re-
Spouse to his enthusiastic letter to
Dick Staley, had come this telegram:
ST dictated $4,000, not $500, as
rental. Drat the typewriter"
1t would never do to let the boys
know Of his mistake. They would
make life miserable with their jokes,
SO Cliff said nothing to them, deter
mining to make an appeal to his
guardian for the extra money. He
would have plenty next year, when
the trusteeship would be over, but
his father had left the money in trust
for Cliff until he should have grad
uated.
He was striding along with his
head down when girlish voice ar
rested his furious progress and the

What's the matter, Cliff" she
demanded. ''I'll warrant you've beer
having an argument with dad"
He wouldn't listen to argument,
Cliff explained. why, the moment
came into the office he shouted al
me, If it's any more money you
want, you can't have it. / guess I'm
old enough to be trusted with my
own money"
"Twenty-three," the girl cried in
mock awe. That's awfully old for
financier."
He led the way to nearby restau-
rant and while they waited for their
order to be served he told her all his
troubles.

$4,000 just to keep the boys from
joking your" she gasped.
TITS worth It," he said, doggedly.
"The whole crowd would have found
out and would never have heard
the last of 1t. Now there's no way
out of it except to write the boys"

Nov, are you going to give me
proverbs, too?" Cliff demanded, ir-
ritably

penitently enough, though her eyes
twinkled with fun. but you're Civ

MY mood softened later in the ev-

up and Mr.. Warner suggested that we
walk up to the fortress on the hill.

In the confusion Mr.. Clifford found
a roll of bills on the floor of the car.
He held on to the money until some
one should make a cltcry. None
came. Another car came along after
few minutes and picked UP the ex-
cited passengers. and not one Of them
had said word about loss.
Mr.. clifford was just as honest as
you or I. He showed that roll down
into his pocket and decided to wait
until the loser advertised. The vic
tim of $500 loss would be sure to
do that.
The next day and the next and the
next, and in fact, for whole week,
Mr.. Clifford looked at the sIosts and
Pounds" in three different dailies,
but mo adverti: ment appeared.
He then came to the conclusion
that the roll must have dropped from
his own vest pocket as the car was
trying to climb the fence, or that
the motorman, who had fed the
scene, had thrown 1t at him as q
solace for barking his shins and skin

When the other car had left the
track Hilda must have instinctively

Someone must ave found 1t. Who?
This question puzzled her for days

night was marked by the final enter
tainment of the season. The boys
had formed themselves into glee
club and their voices rang out across
the lot to where Cliff and Betty sat
under the trees.
I'm sorry to go away and leave
all this" he said, regretfully. Il

suggested, as she took in the 1.-the

worked hard to make the venture

1t had been no easy matter to cater
to forty hungry men, even when they
were almost over-wilHng to turn to
and help, and there was a healthful
tan on his face very different from
the pallor that had spoiled good fsa-
lures when he made the camp.
''And you made profit, too" went
on Betty. "Do you know just how

down on the bench beside them. II

It's taught me to help myself"
Cliff answered. y
1T was a great lesson" said the
elder man. There's an old saying:s
He who works, must win!'"
There's better one than that"
said Cliff, boldly.
Whats that?" asked Baylor.
1T is not good for man to be
alone" quoted Cliff.
Il guess that will be all right after
you graduate" was the answer.
"Betty's made man of you. Now,
she'll be able to make a good hus-
band of you, too'
I ~ won't need any teaching for
that" said Cliff, as his hand closed
over the girls, and the voices Of the
singers in the tent rose in an old
fashioned love song, ever new and
sweet to love and youth.

and so impatient to get home and
tell the good news, that she asked
to be excused at o'clock in the aft
ernoon.
When Hilda took the trolley car a
well-dressed young man took a seat
next to her. A moment later Walter
Clifford climbed aboard the same car
and took seat back of her.
The well-dressed young man was
out for business as a pickpocket, and
young Mr.. Clifford, of an insurance
company, was going out to the SUBJ
urb to do some business for his COM
pany.
Any ordinary observer would have
decided that Hilda was of the army
of working women. She might have
been superior in looks, but not in
dress. Her shoulders were beginning
to round a bit, too, and Sherlock
Holmes would have detected the ink
stains on her finger that could mot
be entirely scrubbed off with Soar
and water.
If she had not persistently kept heI
hand in her dress pocket the we'll
dressed young man would not have
given her a second thought. His
game was the fat brewer on the 9th
er side of him.
The car had hardly made half q
mile when the girls hat blew or. II

thank him, and, of course. she got
good look at his face.

passed a few more words.
Then came climax. In rounding

brought up against tie fence. Ev-

There was not only living to
earn, but mortgage of $500 on the
cottage in the suburban town to pay
off. Being an invalid, the mother
could earn little or nothing, though
she talked bravely of dressmaking.
1t was for Hilda to furnish the in
come--to plan and save and scheme
and keep things going.
After many failures and disap-
pointments she found place in the
city with an old-fasf oned lawyer
who preferred her neat chirography
to typewriting, and for two long
years she scarcely missed day. From
her earnings she could now and then
put aside dollar to pay the interest
on the mortgage, but every penny
had to count.
One day piece of good luck hap
pened to Hilda Graves. In return
ing from lunch she found a roll OF
bills on the street. She snatched II
up from her feet and almost ran the
rest of the way to the office.
Her employer was out, and she
counted over the bills and found that
she was the richer by $500. Now
the mortgage could be paid off, and
there would be money left for clothes
and other things.
The thought that the money be-
longed to some one else, and that il
was her duty to advertise for the
loser, never occurred to her. In her
own village, It would have been diff
ferent. but in the great city, findings

that it wasn't likely that the loser
of this sum would trouble himself
about 1t.
She was so exultant over her find.

NEW YORK, June Ito keep

of California fruit shipments the
Southern Pacific Is now having built
$500 of the largest most scientific and
most expensive refrigerator cars that
have ever been turned OUT. large
number of cars of this lot are now in
use. They are coming out Of the shops
at the rate Of rs per day and, as the
demand increases, additional equip
ment will be added to the $500.
Au-the- year-around demand for or
anges has increased to such magni-
tude that the California growers have
found it necessary to propagate more
very early and very-late varieties, un-
til now there is not a day in the year
from the state. The bulk Of the fruit,
however, is handled between January
LIST and July list. Some 10000 cars
have been shipped this season and
there remain about 5000 cars to move,
which are now going out at the rate
Ct i1E cars per day. On account of the
increased acreage that Is coming into
bearing, next seasons crop is esti-
mated at about $4,000 cars, the move
ment Of which will begin in Novem-
Der.
To the orange and lemon shipments
are constantly being added larger
quantities of small fruits which this
year will reach 1000 carloads. Three
thousand cars of vegetables have also
come eastward from California in the
past season. Owing to the high tenn
peratures in which California fruit IL
loaded, and it's extremely perishablt
nature, the railroad company must give
the most perfect service to handle
such products successfully. From the
first carload of California fruit shipped
eastward in 1859 the orange, lemon
, and grapefruit shipments alone hav'
grown to 10000 carloads, valued in on

Genoa and Milan are to be conencted
by d marvellous electric railroad IS
miles in length, which is to cost $47,-
100000. The excessive cost Is owing
to the nature of the country through
which the line will pass. 1t will re-
quire 10 tunnels, one of which will be
~ miles long. There will be 372
bridges and the road will be six years
in the course of construction. The
cost Of the line construction alone will
be 100000 per mile. The line will be
double tracked and there will be no
grade crossings. Trains will consist OF
three cars, each accommodating so pas
sengers. 1t is proposed to run 20 trains
day, and 1t is estimated that the
daily trafic will be 5000 passengers. A
