niticant in the light Of an assertion by
Jefferson Middleton of the United
States geological survey, that during
the year 1912 more than a million
thousand brick were used in Greater
New York, and that nearly all were
manufactured in the kilns along both
sides Of the lower Hudson river.
The total production in this region
was 1,O19,259,00O, valued at s5.74 a

against 926,O72,OO0, valued at $500 a
thousand in 1911, total of S4,717, 633
making an increase Of production in
1912 over that Of 1911 Of 92,187 ,OOC
brick and $1,133,137 in value.

Nellie went to his lawyer, who was q

ALIVE and KICKING
Jabez Thorpe's Manipulation Of
Real Affection for the De-
serving One.
By VIcToR REpcI.IEEE

-
"One foot in the grave and the
other on banana peel-that's Jabez
Thorpe, to my way Of thinking"
Exactly my opinion. A man of his
age crossing the ocean! Never was
a hundred miles away from his
own hearthstone before. It's ter
rible risk he is taking!"
Thus the gossiping neighbors of the
reputed wealthy proprietor of Thorpe
Farm. 1t was an echo of the current
chatter OF the village. When hard
listed, miserly old Jabez Thorpe an.
nounced that he was going to Eng
land to settle the estate of q dis
tant relative, it had been a nine days
wonder. 1t had been reported that
the interest Of old Jabez in the estate
was uncertain. He was a fighter, how.
ever, and strenuously declared that
he was going to see it that he got
his rights.
Thorpe Farm was not the pleasant
est place in the world. It had a pref
ty fair house on it, but poorly furn-
ished. AS Thorpe grew older he had
enclosed three acres near the house,
and rented out the rest Of his land.
Ten years previous he had adopted
the child Of second cousin, Nellie
Thorpe She had grown into his life
more Of comfort, guide and support
:han he realized. 1t was when he
came to give up to Nellie the entire
charge of his business during his abb
sence, that he began to understand
how much he depended on her. If
Nellie felt that he was loading down
upon her a vast responsibility, she re-
nected upon the gratitude she owed
him. Jabez Thorpe had given her
shelter when she was homeless and
she took up her new duties seriously,
but with her bright little heart full of
confidence and cheer.
1T is not SO hard as I fancied,"
Nellie wrote to Evan Pearson, her

Scattered throughout the Caroline

massive ruins, one of a sort of Venice.
whose origin Is wrapped in mystery.
Hundreds Of acres in some localities
are covered by the remains of walls,
canals and earthwork of a stupendous

with stone blocks, ancient stone plat

Thereupon the lazy young man
growled out something about mig

up like an offended pussy cat. The

the estate was asleep with his feet
on the table. In the parlor the SNUFF

were chattering away like magpies,
when Nellie heard roar.
She dropped the plate she was hold

OF delight she darted into the sit

left that Nellie proudly exhibited her

man manifesting real affection for his
loyal and faithful housekeeper in the
words:
