But he didn't. They never do at

rich and returns to scorn or win his

true story. Being truthful. it must re-
late how Wigs built up reasonably
good business and prospered little

then one day he came back to the
village of his youth. He did not
come back just because he wanted to
visit with the old friends. He re-
turned because his father had died
and there was much to claim his at
tention in the settling of the estate.
And one day as he was examining
lot of old papers, he came upon bit
of lace handkerchief, daintily
wrought, and tied with blue ribbon.
Loosening the band, a delicate per-
fume pervaded his nostrils. AS he
gazed longingly at the keepsake, his
face grew puzzled.
For at least a minute he sat there
thinking. At last he tossed the me-
mento into the wastebasket and
grumbled:
well, you old reprobate you, what
