What things will you sell" At least he could help
her in this.
The faded old lady looked up at Marry and pointed
to the MASTERPIECES.
1T breaks our hearts to send away-but there is
nothing else to do 1t will bring, too, great price;
nothing else we possess will bring much. Then we
will have poverty, and some one may buy it
who will love it, and SO my brother will get his re-

Marry swept his eye around The furniture was of
the shabbiest pictures and sketches tackled the wall
but experiments in "Old Sunshine's" pet theories.
Nothing else would bring anything. And the master
picce That he knew, would not bring the cost of its
frame.
''Where will you send it to be sold? To art
dealer?" Marry asked. He could speak good word
for it. perhaps if it should be to dealer he
knew.
"No; to a place in Cedar Street where Adolphe sold

The auction room was crowded There to be

The door opened softly, and her face peered through
the crack. Tears in her eyes-od and new tears
following another down her furrowed cheeks.
"He is gone away; they took him last night Mr.
Marry" Her voice broke, but she still kept the edge
of the door in her trembling hand
Eyes; l have just heard about it. Let me come in
please; want to help you You are all alone"
Her grasp sackened, and Marry stepped in. The
room was in some confusion. The bed where her
brother had been ill still in disorder the SCREEN
that had concealed it, pushed to side. On table
by his easel were the remains of meal The master
piece still stared from its place The sister walked
to lounge and sat down.
Tell the truth Marry said, seating himself be-
side her. Have YOU any money!?

'fWhat do you expect to do"
Il sell something"
'Let me lend you some money l have plenty, for
shall get paid for my picture tomorrow; then you can
pay it back when yours comes"
oh you are so kind, but must sell something of
our own. We owe large sum; the rent is two
months due. and there other things and Adophc
must have some comforts. No; am not offended but
Adolphe would be if he knew"
Marry looked into space for moment, and asked
thoughtfuly: "How much do you owe?
ooh, great DEAL" she answered simply.

Marry raised his eyes, and feeling of fantness
came over him.
The old man was reading his face. The faded
sister had not taken her eyes from his.
1T does not dazzle you. You do not see the V1brS
tions?"
II am getting my eyes accustomed to it, sammered
Marry. Il cannot take ii all in at once lie was
hunting around in his mind for something to say
something that would break the old fellows heart.
mol You cannot deceive me. l had hoped better

you cannot See.
The old man had opened the door of his studio now
and stood $ if waiting for Marry to pass out

seemed laborng under excitement

thumb toward the ceiling.
"Who?"
"'old Sunshine"
"Crazy?"
"No; i'll with fever, been sick for week Not bad,
but the doctor would not let him stay here"
"Did the, sister go?" There note of alarm in
Marnys voice.

think she has much to eat She won't let me in. May
be you get her to talk to you she likes you-she
told me so"
Marry laid down his palette tptoed hurredly up the
stairs and knocked gently There response.
Then he knocked again, this time much louder, and
waited He heard the rustlng of skirt but there was
no other sound.
"Its Mr. Marry, Madam" he said in the kindest,

These words came in shortened sentences divided
by the mounting of each STEP the two hurryng up the
stairs, "Old Sunshine" ahead, Marry following.
The sister waiting for them at the open door.
She had snow-white kerchef her shoulders and
quaint cap her head, evidently her best. Her
eyes, still red from weeping shone like flashes of
shine through falling rain.

to Marry who was, in his eagerness, peering into the
welI-swept orderly looking room. "Now Shut your

Louise. Come: you will not fall
Marry suffered himself to be led into the ROOM his
head smothered under the umbrella the old mans

the door and the masterpiece was along the edge of
abyss.
"Now!' cried the old man, waving the umbrella
aside.

There was a report in Westerly on
Tuesday that branch of the Solway
mills of Ingrahamville, near Pawtuck-
ct, was to establish branch factory
in Westerly, in the building in Main
street abandoned by the Solway people
three years ago, when they moved from
here to the big, new and modern plant
local buildings have been unoccupied
ever since.
The Solway company was 10th to
leave Westerly, but the condition here
in regard to securing the property de-
sired and some minor distractions
caused the removal AS regards en-
-ployes and the Main street mill. for a
limited business. there was no fault to
be found by the company, and there
fore credence is given to the report.
1t is said that a certain part of the
work can be done to advantage in
Westerly and that therefore there is a
likelihood of partial return of the
business.
The owners of the mill building are
offering the property at a reasonable
rental and no hindrance to adding to
the Westerly Industries can be ascrib-
ed to excessive rental.
The Solway Mills company is
known quantity in Westerly, and it's
return home even in part would receive
tn heartiest of wecome and encour-
agement. and would mean much for
the advancement of the industrial in
tetrests of the town.
It is definitely known that if the own
ers of the Main street mill win install
new boiler and engine and put the
building in proper repair. the Sodway
Mills company will lease the building,
install looms and begin operations
again in Westerly.
