Dupuy put bis oyercoat back on the
chair. His luck was still holding good.
he congratulated himself. Here was a
chance to make the acquaintance Of
the new owner Of the influential Ad-
vance, an opportunity TO pave the
way possibly TO secure future favors
from him for his clients when emer-
gencies arose. Needless to say. emer-
gencies frequently arose to disturb
the peace Of mind Of the varieties of
people who sought the versatile aid
Of Mr. Ed Dupuy. He turned to face
McHenry and said:
"Oh, the new owner. Id like to
meet him. If you don't object III

extreme left hand corner of the office
close to the rack containing files of
the daily papers. He took down file
and began to read. McHenry, laugh

lawyer to meet Nolan. put on his coat.
A heavy step was heard. and the
bulky form Of the new owner Of the
Advance stood before the managing
editor.

latter.

remarked bluntly.
At the sound Of the big mans big
voice Dupuy. whom Nolan had not

him. There was something familiar
in the ring Of that voice. There was
something familiar 10 the features
and the poise of Mr.. Mike Nolan. Sure
ly he had met him somewhere. He
pondered and pondered and finally
gave up the problem in disgust.
"This Is a nice looking place you've
got here" he remarked to McHenry.

A feminine voice from the outer

The Fascination of Corn Cutting.

Corn cutting always has fascina-
ton for me- like TO see the farmer
grip the tall stalks with stout hand
and, deftly holding them, clip them
with quick stroke. Cf knife. Around
the bundle when 1t is gathered he
twists q Simmer stalk and tucks the
ends tightly under. IT is tidy art,
for twist may lack just the inch that
holds the bundle. The farmers work
develops quick judgment az well as
dizziness of hands. and so it Is good
school. for it makes the brains and TIE
hands work together. The boy who
follows with fork should be able TO
lift the bundle and build stock that
will resist the wind. When the husk-
ers come every ear should have been
kept we'll up from the ground and the
stalks so well ventilated that there is
