The Lost Manuscript
By ROBERT ii. GILROY

vised that this be done without seeing
the original manuscript MT. Linn con-
sidered the matter, but finally decided
not to adopt the suggestion. Stenter-
toms last hope was dashed
Weeks passed and the play was not
mentioned The young couple set
day for the wedding. The parent de-
INJURED. He wanted TO know when hs
was to receive a reply to the accepe-
ance of his play. These managers,
he said to his daughter, ARE making
us playwrights tired with their mat
tention. If my own son-in-law In ca
pable of treating me thus I'd rather
he wouldn't be my son-in-law."
One day Mr.. Linn. yielding 10 his
daughters solicitations, consented to
forego the treatment he had received
from her f1ance SO far as to permit the
wedding to take place But he said
that for a wedding gift they must be-
content with the play. He meant to
force Stenterton to get out of 1t what
there was in it
Of course this was a disappointment
to the young couple, but great relief.
Arrangements for the wedding were
made, and, now that Mr.. Linn had sat
isfied his pride in the matter of his
play, he seemed more amiable with re-
spect to the approaching nuptials.
"Your wedding present will make you
rich, Mildred he said. Its worth
$50, 900, and I know IT." "Ratsv' ex-
claimed Stenterton when he heard this
HE talks just like every other anna
teur playwright They all think there
is a fortune In their work; but. thank
heaven, I'm out of the scrape.''
On the morning of the wedding Mr..
Linn handed the pair a box which, he
said. contained their wedding present
But 1 thought your play was to be
our present from you, papa" said Mil
dred. Have you relented?"
Not at ALL 1 said my play was
worth $4,000. You'll get nothing from
me except that
Meantime Mildred opened the box.
There was the missing manuscript
For heavens saker' she exclaimed
How did you get it, asked the
young man.
..You left it in a carriage the even

on it, and it was returned TO me-
Meanwhile Mildred turned up the
first leaf of the manuscript. "What's

Didn't ] tell you my play was worth
that sum-" said the playwright
Mildred threw her arms about her
fathers neck. while her lovers face
wore all sorts of expressions from silli-
ness to joy

the play and was 81 well satisfied with
it, merits that he desired Ia stage IL

~ had made such rapid strides
~ as a theatrical manager that
he owned two theaters. Every
thing seemed to come his way, fnclud-
ing requited love, for he was engaged
to Miss Mildred Linn, the daughter
of Alonzo Bernhard Linn, a retired
merchant, perfectly able to portion her
off on the day of her wedding. Every
thing was moving on oiled wheels
with Mr.. Stenterton when trouble
came as a result of bit of careless
ness.
Mr.. Linn was possessed of literary
tastes, which on his retirement he pro-
ceeded to cultivate. He wrote a novel
that proved quite a success Then
his prospective son-in-law suggested
that he try his hand at play Mr.
Linn demurred on the ground that, not
having knowledge of stage require
ments, he would not know how to fit
his play for production on the boards
Mr.. Stenterton told him that he would
gladly collaborate with him in that re-
spect. Mr.. Linn consented.
At the time its author handed it In
for perusal the marriage between
Stenterton and Miss Linn was being
planned to take place in the near fu-
ture Then for the first time it oc-

Linn had not shown himself amenable

against the critic on the eve of his
wedding. Mr.. Linn was amiable. even
iovial. but :: trifle vain of his talents
Stenterton. when he went to his rooms
on the evening he received the manu-
script. took it with him. He stopped
on the way at one of his theaters and
didn't reach his rooms till midnight
1t was a week before he found an OPP
portunity to read the manuscript then,
after hunting for it in every nook and
Granny of his rooms, came to the con-
cIusion that it was lost This was
the bit of carelessness that brought
trouble.
The first thing he did was to make n
casual inquiry of the author if he had
a duplicate copy of the play When he
received no for an answer the bot
tom seemed TO drop out of the universe.
and when Mr.. Linn added. I've done
n LOT of work on that play. and if Won

young man nearly Swooned- He
couldn't attend to business during the
day and couldn't sleep nights Finally

HOME TRADE NECESSARY TO
TOWN BOOSTING THAT WINS.
Community Whose Residents Buy at
Local Stores Has Advantage of
Inestina BILE Value.

Home trade is the prime requisite of
successful town boosting Without
home trade practiced as well as
preached town boosting will fall fiat
The reason is obvious Business makes
a town. lack of business kills town.
Your natural ambition is to see your
town developing healthy and steady
growth. and your natural acknowledg
ment, when the matter is called to
your attention. will be that this is i'm
possible without an increasing number
of local stores
When you are patronizing stores of
your own town you are not only receiv-
ing as fair an equivalent for your mon
ey as you would from the mail order
concern whose fiowery and often
fraudulent advertisements make its
owners wealthy. but you draw sub
stantial interest on the money ex-
pended. You may own property. 1t
will increase in value as the town
grows. If you are not property owner
YOU will derive benefit from home
trade. anyway. Business progress in
small community is an incentive for
civic progress. and you will have bet
ter town in every respect. No matter
who you may be. the wealthiest citizen
or the poorest, you can do your share
in helping build up your town. Home
trade opens the opportunity for every
man.
When a man is talking up the ad
vantages of his particular locality, in
the hope of gaining Il new industry,
a new stOrekeeper or Il desirable new
citizen. his chances of success are
much more promising if he can i'm
press his nearer with the telling argu-
ment that the town is on the sure
road to a great future and. therefore,
is n good place in which to do bust
ness. because its people spend their
money with the local merchants. That
kind of spirit will make an instant
appeal.
But suppose the best the town
boomer can say is: You ought to
come here to live, it's so pleasant"
There are lots of pleasant places. but
successful town boosting accompliShes
small Roadway with that single and
inane commendation.
Never too late to mend is Il motto
that holds good in the argument for
home trade. 1t is never too late for
the people of any town who have
been in the habit of sending mail
orders for mercha ndise to be cured of
this folly and civic indiscretion. But
the sooner they are cured of this
weakness of biting at the flowery mail
order advertisements and transfer
their patronage TO local storelleepers
the sooner will they he in position
to point with pride to the main street
of which they have been ashamed
now undergoing the wholesome process
of Transformation into real street
with busy stores. That is COM
mendable aim. and when this goal is
attained convincing arguments can be
driven home as to why others should
join such a prospecting and growing
community.

GROWING Eeed Crops.

In growing feed for stock it is not
wise to pin ones faith to one crop. 1t
is better to grow two or three feed
crops If the season is unfavorable all
are not likely to fail, and if the sea-
son is favorable the farmer will have
variety of food for his stock. and this
will be found beneficial in many ways.
