Young Warrenton> proved right there
and then that he had the makings Of
good lawyer. He wasn't ten minutes
figuring out why the mortgage had
been foreclosed. He talked bit more
with the girl, whom the father had
referred to as Ethel, and admiring the
courage she was showing in the face
of Misfortune. he said to himself:
I'm see that old Carney doesn't find
1t SO easy after ALL
Five minutes later he knew who the
old man was. He was the man he had
almost run over the day before Ten
or twelve men arrived at the same
time with him, and among them was
the son. He was typical farmers
hired man. He knew when to SOW
oats. but he didn't know who was gov
ernor OF the state. He could spell
hen" but he ate with his knife. He
could plow straight furrow, but he
had never heard Of the Atlantic

man.
But why-
Because he almost run me down

That's no reason"

"As It happens. he's got an even ten
thousand" replied the official after
being shown the certificate of deposit.
'I'll outbd him-I'll bid forty times
what the place Is wuth!"
But old Carney began to crlnge as
the bidding went up, and when 1t had
reached $3.50 he drew out. His son
tried to brace him up, and he got the
laugh from the others. but he con.
solded himself by retorting:
THE Teller can have the farm. but
II he gets the gal away from Isaac"
The sheriff was pointing a finger at
him and he swallowed the rest
When all was over Mr.. Warrenton
knocked softly at the door. No one
answered it, and he entered. He heard
voices in the bedroom, and he tip-toed
across Mr. Isabel had his hands over
his face, and that of the weeping girl
was hidden In the bed-covers.
"Its-it's over!" said the young
man.
Then who don't old Carney come In
and order us to vacate forthwith

Because bid in the place instead

But how long do you give u.s.
