VssAAAAJ ChucdfUISu 10 MAKE that sum
equal the amount she needed to pay
the interest on the mortgage held on
her little place by Elijah Green.
Elijah was the local money lender
and note shaver When Elijah had
concluded the preliminaries OF q loan
with you. you began to realize why he
was rich, He could bind you to more
different impossible agreements than
any one else. Elijah owned farm after
farm-all the result of his shrewdness
In the money-lending line. AS to shaw
ing notes, he was credited with cut
ting out everything but the date and
adding that to his discount.
When he induced Miss Sabina PEN
nell to borrow FIVE hundred dollars
from him and to give him a mortgage
upon her little place, he had really
acted more decently than ever before.
He did not want Sabina's place. What
he wanted was Sabina herself. He
had proposed to her proposed in
about the tone and with about as
much sentiment as he usually mani
tested when he offered TO lend one
third the value of a farm for a mort
gage on the whole thing. Sabina had
refused him, promptly.
She had refused him several more
times, and then Elijah apparently re-
signed himself to his fate. But he
knew Sabina's circumstances: he
knew that when her father died ana
left her entirely alone In the world
she. would get into debt So he kept
track Of her debts, which was not
hard thing to do, when every dealer
in the town was debtor Of his.
AT the psychological moment he Of
fered to lend her i've hundred dollars,
secured by the mortgage. He pointed
out to her that he didn't need the
money and wanted to invest 1t, and
that SO long as she paid the interest
on It she need never bother about
repaying 1t.
IT'S just putting that much money
out at interest, for me" he smiled
"And 1t win relieve yon OF worry over
what you may owe, SO you can mans
age your place and make 1t pay you.
When Sabina signed the MORTGAGE
notes and received EIiiah's check she
had her first almost-tender feeling
toward him. And when she went toi
him and asked him to give her a lit
tie more time on the interest, she had
been really affected by his generous
agreement.

she was not even as responsive. She

THE trouble with that woman is

ditions?
A spring holiday is close at hand.
You-a member of a family whose
happiness is lessened by one of these
hard living persons-suggest that it
would be a fine lark for the whole
family to shut up the house and go
out into the country to LIS for din
ner. Everyone is delighted with this
scheme except, of course. the hard
liver. While everyone else is enthus-
ing she is silent, and inquiry soon
brings out the fact that she does not
think the house ought to be shut up
because some weeks ago Aunt Maria
said she might be in town on that day
and what would she think IL she came
out and found nobody at home? She
will stay and keep the house open
