A Word About Buying Lumber
Mill Work & Building Supplies

The best managers all over the country
are realizing that the safest aud most
comfortable way to invest money is IN
building and improving right at home.
In this connection, il Is time well spent
to consider the actual values received for
each dollar spent for Lumber, Mil Work
and Building Supplies
We believe that It pays well to compare
our price and grades, az we are carrying
large and carefully selected stocks OF
Lumber, Shingles, Laths, Flooring
Siding, Ceiling, Sash, Doors, Blinds.
Mouldings, Cement, Lime, Wall Plaster,
Etc, which we buy direct from the big
cest producers in large quantities "A Il

with number 81 new machines and an
Increased force oi skilled mechanics, VIII

I Standing there he regarded Betty In

"Bettyi" the single word fell softly
from his lips. He stepped into the

smilingly, but back OF the smile was
the menace of unleashed impulse.
Cant you find some word Of well

length. still softly, still with some
thing of entreaty in his tone.
"Then 1t was you-not Tom-who

Her eyes blazed, and she looked at
him with loathing.
You'll learn TO be Kinder" he eI-
ulted. You wouldn't see me at Belle
Plain; what was left for me but to
have you brought here7"
While Murrell was speaking the sig
nal that had told OF his own presence
on the opposite shore of the bayou
was heard again. This served to ar
rest his attention. A look OF uncer.
tainty passed over his face, then he
made an impatient gesture as II he
dismissed some thought that had
forced itself upon him, and turned
TO Betty.

"Never" gasped Betty.
"As my wife, or however you choose

ed his hand. Betty shrank from him,
and his hand fell at his side. lie
looked at her steadily out OF his deep
sunk eyes, in which blazed the fires OF
his passion, and as he looked, her
face paled and flushed by turns. You

he said You may find 1t will be

answer; she only gathered Hannibal

There was the noisy shufflIng of

and faced the door 1t was pushed
open an inch at a time by a not too
confident hand and Mr.. Slosson thus
guardedly presented himself to the
eye of his chief, whom he beckoned
from the room.
'Well?" said Murrell, when they
stood together on the landing.
"Just come across to the keel
boat" and Slosson led the way down
stairs and from the house.
Damn you, Joe, you might have

son gave him a hardened grin. They
