tinue your business?" smiled Carroll.
"By the time Bobbys grown up this
business will all be closed out" re-
piled Orde seriously.
Three years after the conversation
last mentioned, which would have
made Bobby just eight, Orde came
home on a summer evening, his face
alight: with satisfaction.
He believed he had found the oppor-
tunity, twenty years distant, for which
he had been looking SO long.
Orde and his wife sat together on
the top step. He slipped his arm about
her. They breathed deep of the happi-
ness that filed their lives. Two shad-
oWy figures defined themselves ap-
preaching up the concrete walk.
"Hello!' called Orde.
"Hello!" a voice responded.
Taylor and Clara" said Orde to
Carroll, with satisfaction, ''just the
man ! wanted to see.'' The lawyer
and his wife mounted the steps.
Clara Taylor stopped short and con-
Sidered Orde for moment.
LET us away" she said seriously to
Carroll. MY prophetic soul tells me
they are going to talk business, and if
any more business is talked in my
presence I shall expire. Come Car
roll; let's wander down the street and
see Nina Heinzman."
The two sauntered away.
"Look here, Taylor" broke in Orde
abruptly; you told me the other day
you had fifteen or twenty thousand you
wanted to place somewhere"
EYES," replied Taylor.
"Well, believe have just the prop
osition.''
what is it?'
California pine" replied Orde.
California pine,' repeated Taylor.
"California's a long way off, and there
is no market, is there?''
'It's cheap" replied Orde succinct-
~. 81 don't say, it will be good for
immediate returns, but in twenty or
thirty years it ought to pay big on a
small investment made now"
Taylor laughed.
Laugh all you Please, feJolneu
Orde, but I tell you Michigan and
Wisconsin pine is doomed. Twenty or
thirty years from now there won't be
any white pine for sale"
''Nonsensep, objected Taylor you're
talking wild"
'.All right" said Orde quietly. well,
what do you think of Indiana as a
good field for timber investment?''
.Indianap' cried Taylor, amazed.
"Why. there's no timber there; it's a
prairie
"There used to be. And all the
southern Michigan farm belt was tim
bered, and around here. We have our
stumps to show for it, but there are no
evidences at all farther south. You
take your map and see how much area
has been cut already. ThatII open
your eyes. And, remember, all that has
been done by, crude methods. The de-
mand increases as the country grows

Advices from northern Iowa are TO
the effect that the oat crop through
out that part OF the state is practically
a failure owing to repeated frosts and
dry weather. The drought has not
been broken yet despite threatening
weather and rains south and north
of there. Many farmers have com
menced reseeding. Examination of the
fields has shown that the oats above
the ground have been frozen off twice
and that even the ground had beer
frozen one or more inches due t.
recent hard freezes. More than so pc
cent OF the sprouts extending to til,
surface from the oat kernel are blacl
the fun length while others are partial
y dlscoiored because Of the col
weather.
