it's added spasm of fear.
At last in dire confusion, he walked
all the way to Wall Street, with the
bowl in his arms, and presented him
self at the brokers' office, with a re-
quest that they deliver to him fifty dol
lars worth of Silver Mary, and be
quick about it.
A SNUG clerk smiled paternally at

Count them-count them carefully

Becky took the shares and hid them
That night Sam took out his little
fiddle and scattered soft music through
the dingy rooms. Had his improvisa

that they would have borne the title;

Becky sat sullenly by, and listened

maybe, another of them bowls"
But you told Hannah you asked

Sam, you're a fool. Are we always
going to live down here in five nasty
rooms, while Hannah sits on plush
lounge in a velvet dress? You'll be

this came tears.
Tubsky succumbed. He promised to
buy twenty shares of Silver Mary, but
admonished his wife that, in case of
loss, she must not complain.

sky, sweetly.
Repentance followed hard upon vic
tory. Sorrowfully, she stood at the
window and gazed after her husband as
he trudged slowly down the street Had
she not been too severe? After all,
now, he tried to do his best Well, she
would make an extra fine supper that
evening. All of Sans culinary favor
ties should be included, as proof posi-
tive of her atonement.
Across the melting mood there float
ed a vision of Hannah and her new
diamond dagger. Whew! Sam was
stupid-lazy, unambitious. No, there
should be no feast at all-at least, none
until he had earned it. He must get
rich for her sake.
Meanwhile, the subject of her
thoughts found his way to the bank
where, with a heavy sigh, he drew one
hundred dollars. There was small de
light in seeing all that money going to
waste in wild speculation, when in
the window of Makury, the metal deal
er, there reposed brass bowl the most
beautiful his eyes had ever beheld
Women were silly creatures, after all
Becky was no better than the rest
Dress and diamonds, indeed!
The next event in Sans career he
places to the credit of fate. In poin
of fact, there is no other explanation
for the marvel.
geographically Wall Street, whithe
his next errand tended, lies far to thu
south of Sans bank, and somewhat t.
the west. Makury's shop stands to tn
east, and a bit towards the north. San
is quite sure that he turned his step
westward; at least, his memory treas
ures no other course of locomotior
And yet, of a sudden, he found him
self in front of Makurys window, wit
the wonderful brass bowl staring hir
boldly out of countenance.

throes of his longing, Becky and Sill

qualm to the limbo of forgotten things.

the lips of the lover of the beautiful.

customers; Sam and his laundering

He is no lover of the beautiful; he is
merely a humble shekel-gatherer, to

It's a thing, is it? And maybe you

Part of this was true. The size only
of the offer suffered from hyperbole.
The customer had offered ten, and
Yonkof was holding out for twenty.
A panic of fear seized Tubsky, as
he saw the coveted bowl slipping from
his grasp. "TlI give you forty, Yon-

Grants Pass-A good roads conven-

attendance from all parts of Josephine
county. The main speakers were
Judge Lionel Webster, of Portland,
and Maurice w. Eldridge, of the de-
partment of agriculture. Judge Web
ster is an Oregon good roads enthus-
last, and spoke not only of the urgent
need of good roads and of state high
way from pleasure standpoint, but of
the great value good roads and state
highway would be to the various in
dustries of the counties. Judge Web
ster advocated the building of good
roads by bonding, just as is being done
in the counties of California so sue
cessfully, and believes that the best
means of constructing permanent high
ways is by issuing bonds and letting
future generations share in the ex-
pense, since future generations will
share in the benefits.
