 One has more time to think unself- ishly in Radville than in a great city, where there's rarely more time than enough to think of ones own concerns. And Duncan was making time to think about others. notably Betty Graham The girl was. as usual. shy. reticent. reserved. She kept her thoughts 10 herself. sharing the most intimate not even with old Sam. who would talk. But Duncan diyined that she was un. happy.
 He saw her go and come. a wistful shadow on the borders of bis occupa- ti0ns, self contained, a little timld, but at the same time brave fin her own quiet. uncomplaining fashion And the distant look in those soft eyes he di vined to be one of longing for that which she might not possess-the ad vantages that other girls had, socially and educationally; the pleasures they contrived. the attentions they re eeived. the thousand and one slight things that make existence life for a woman. He saw her dropping insen sfbly day by day. growing little paler. a shade more aloof and listless And he became infinitely concerned for her.

 Duncan urged Sam to move his house. hold from over the store to a house. He pointed out that separate residence distinctly befitted the dignity of man who was at once prominent inventor and one of Radville's leading ner- chants wide a Personal in the late issue of the Radville CltizenJ. to say nothing of the social position of bis aughter-meaning Betty. And the house Duncan had his metaphorieal eye upon was large enough to shelter Nat himself in addition to the Ora ham family.

CHAPTER VIII.

YY OSlE LOCKWOOD came home
 again for the Easter holidays,
 M but she didn't return to finish her term in the New York school-just why we never discov- cred. The Loekwoods furnished us with no really satisfying explanation. They said that Josie didn't like New York, but I've always doubted that, es. pecially since Josie married and in. sisted on moving straight away to that metropolis. l suspect she didn't get along with the class of young women with whom she was thrown ut school. and I'm pretty certain she was uneasy about Nat all the time she was so far away from him.
 It was during this period, between the Easter vacation and the end of the spring school term. that Roland Bar nette's animosity toward Duncan be came virulent.
 Josie, of course. was prompt to oust Angie Tuthill from her place in the choir After that she sang with Nat on Friday nights as well as Wednes- days and twice per Sunday. Between whiles she was a pretty constant pa. trOn of the store. There was no longer the least doubt in the collective mind of the town as to the inclination of Josie's affections.
 The culmination came the day before Betty was to return--a day late in May, remember, and a Friday at that

 Josie kept her promise and came home for Christmas. She was reticent as to her impressions of the New York seminary, but seemed extremely glad to be home. notwithstanding the fact that Nat had apparently contracted no disturbing alliances with the other belles of our village. And Roland re- mained true-a reliable second string to Josies bow. Roland was working hard at the bank with an application that earned Blinky Lockwood's regard and outspoken appreciation. and his mi fCf ssaf ha ton of the season.
 In passing I should mention that Betty didn't come home once through out the entire school term. The Christ. mas and Easter holidays she spent with 8 girl friend at her Philadelphia home.
 Meanwhile life in our town sim mered gently Duncan continued to make progress. For one thing re. call that he put in hot soda with whip ped cream. which helped d lot 10 hold the trade regained in Che summer from Sothern X Lee.
 Occasionally Duncan visited some Ot the towns in the county to develop the mail order business which he had sue. cessfully inaugurated and which in creased materially the profits of the firm.
 There was a certain night along to- ward the list of January when trade was dull. as it always is after Christ mas, and there was nobody in the store save Nat and Tracey Each had their task. whatever it may have been. and each was busted with it. but of the two Tracey seemed the more restless.

SUSPECTS IN HOMICIDE
CASE ARE RELEASED

Judge Hosmer, Tuesday morning.
ordered the release of Salvatore and
Tony Giannola and Salvatore Moecri,
the three Italians who have been held
in custody by Sheriff CASTOR for sew
eral days on suspicion Of knowing
something about the death of Samuel
Bueno, whose charred and battered
body was found in field of the God
dard-rd west OF Ford City, a couple
of weeks ago. The release was
brought about by Attorney Louis Co.
lombo, who began habeas corpus pro-
ceedlngs. declaring the suspects we're
being held without any evidence
against them.
Prosecutor Shepherd was asked by
the court to tell what evidence, IL any,
he had against the trio, but he de-
clined TO "show his hand"
Sheriff CASTOR is still investigating
the homicide, but admits that it is a
most diffcult task TO get any evidence.
