cent, of claims.

tion held throughout the county

little objections to the issue, with
the above result.

And George, gazing about their s
by 10 living room. could but echo her
words.
SO. when Mr.. George came home
with the kingmans proposition they
were radiant with delight.
The Kingmans were a childless old
couple who lived in big house and
had more servants than the Georges
had rooms in their fiat.
Kingman was vice-president OF the
bank where George worked as an as
sistant bookkeeper at s25 q week The
Kingmans were old-very old indeed
TO youth like the Georges. They were
tired of living alone in their great
fiunky haunted house, and they wanted
Mr.. and Mrs. George to come and
live with them. Would they?
Would they!
Little Mrs. George laughed aloud
at the absurdity OF the question. Then
she and Georgia spent several happy
hours packing their more intimate be-
lopgings. The next day George found
another bank clerk. married even
more recently than he. who jumped at
the chance TO move into their furnish
ed apartment; and that evening they
were installed in one IT the kingman's
guest suites.
