message from the extended hand. All
morning he had sat over his books
unable to do anything more than stare
at the up-turned pages. The figures
seemed to be bobbing up and down in
mocking glee. Figures were forgotten
now; Elaine and Dot were in his mind
He knew his uncle better than to
think that his words were idly meant.
What had brought about this change in
his uncle's demeanor? Fate seemed
against him. Why had he invested his
savings, now that he needed them so
much? He regretted the investment,
and almost despised his old school
mate. He would keep this matter from
Elaine to spare her the pain and worry.
But how could he now? IT he refused
his uncle's request, there would be
some reason to give for the loss Of
his position. If the investment proved
a failure, he was penniless. There was
the poverty and misery of being with
out a position endangering Elaine and
Dot. And Dot, his dear little Dot,
would never get the training they had
planned for her Should he forsake
them? If he did they would be saved
from misery by the alimony allowed,
but he would be thought unfaithful.
God knows he hated the thought of
having Elaine believe him untrue.
Sign, sir!"
Jack in his troubled state of mind
had forgotten to sign the receipt Of
the message, and was awakened from
his reverie by the impatient messen-
ger. who was anxious to move on.
Jack opened the telegram. It read
Rival company has bought up several
coun cilmen. Chances look blue. Pre-
pare for worst. Cliff
The clouds of Fate were lower on
the horizon of Jack Northrop's happi-
ness. Was this the price he was to
pay for the few years of bliss he had
enjoyed In his dear little home. And
Dot-the thought almost drove him
wild? How could be face them at
home? They would surely know; but
then. he would keep them in ignorance
as long as he could. Yes, he would
hide his misery behind smiles and
ehoke down his sorrow with laughs.
When Jack arrived home that even
ing, no one would have suspected that
his heart was being gnawed by pain.
With one supreme effort of will power,
he had resolved to hide his grief-and
he did so nobly.
While Elaine prepared the evening
meal, Dot insisted on reading the les
son she had learned to read that day.
Getting her book, she rested it on
Jacks knee and read:
Papa loves mamma.
Mamma loves papa.
love papa and mamma"
How deep these words went to the
bottom of "Daddy's" heart, Dot never
knew, but Jack gathered her up in his
arms and gave her loving kiss.

The next day seemed gloomier to
Jack. Clifford had sent another gloomy
message that morning. Everything
seemed lost. Misery and poverty
stared his loved ones in the face. No,
no, he could not think of their suffer
ing-if necessary he would make a
supreme sacrifice. The day dragged
by gloomily, but Jack thought it too
fast for his state of mind. He dreaded
the interview with his uncle. What
was he to answer? Would he ask for
further time What would he tell his
dear ones at home? No, no, he would
not face them. At last, he was sent
for.
Well" inquired his uncle after he
seated himself, what have you de-
cided?'
The tone Of the old mans voice rang
with a note Of confidence. Jack hest
tated for moment fearful of what to
say.

REUNION LOSS To
MACON 100000
Thousands of Cots Never Used
by Veterans and Provisions
Are Dumped Into River.

MACON, GA. May 13.-Careful es-
Inmates place the financial loss sus-
tanned by Macon people on the reunion
at not less than $250,OOO. The greater
part of this was invested in thousands
of cots which were never used.
There are numerous instances where
the loss falls upon those least able to
bear it. In one case an aged school
teacher mortgaged her home. spending
$500 for cots, and failed to rent even
one. A Russian barber, who had saved
$500 to bring his parents from the old
country, likewise bought cots. and did
not have a single roomer
The trouble was that the people of
Macon were over enthusiastic about the
reunion. They confidently expected
and prepared for 100000 visitors Less
than 10000 came. OF the 200 lunch
stands, only four made any profit, and
one is said to have lost $1,000
In the last two days more than So
900 buns. loaves of bread and sand
viches have been dumped into the river.
