ats Fortunate You're Only a Poor
Country Mouse"

AS the days wore away Lucy began
to feel less and less comfortable in
her new surroundings There was an
atmosphere OF Worldiness and insin-
cerity which almost terrified her at
times The ways of her cousins were
SO different from those in her fathers
household!
Her mother had died two years be-
fore and her father had been called
west on an important business mat
ter. Lucy could hardly 60 home to
an empty house. For this reason she
tried hard to adjust herself until the
end of her visit should arrive.
Another thing which troubled her
was Tom Lawson's evident liking for
her society, and her own growing pre-
objection for the young man. Money
had not spoiled him. at any rate.
She was half afraid of arousing her
cousins jealousy. but Mile. who had
not failed to notice Lucy's friendship
for Tom. laughed at It.
ITS fortunate you're only poor
country mouse" she said, ''and not
likely to attract Tom, or else should
be jealous of you. Tom positively
seems anxious to start q filtration
with YOU"
Lucy resolved to keep away from
Tom. But one afternoon he came in
Unexpectedly, when Mile and her
mother were out driving. They did
not often take Lucy with them.
"My cousin is out" said Lucy, as
she opened the door, anticipating the
servant. Lucy did not know that that
was not considered good manners.
Her idea of hospitality was to well
come her guest in person.
I'm glad of it," said Tom brusque.

my DEAR" said Mile. Come, let US
go downstairs. Tom will be here in
few minutes and want you to meet
him."
Lucy was visiting her cousins in
Virginia. This was the day of her ar
rival, and Mile had just confided to
her the news Of her engagement.
Tom Lawson was the son Of old
Peter Lawson, whose speculations in
Mexican oil fields were reported to
have netted him a fabulous amount
of money. And when Tom came in
Lucy had to admit that he looked
rich mans son. The high-power auto
mobile, his faultless clothes, his uni

catch for any girl. But what Lucy
liked most about Tom Lawson was
just himself.
How she envied Mile that night
as she lay awake, her mind busy
with the memories of the day. The
Wainwrights came of good old fam

her cousins home was like a wonder

She did not know that they we're

her fortunes upon her daughters

Mile had certainly done her credit.
It was to be marriage of youth and
health and plenty of cash thrown in.

She began to pack her trunk. She

Why, she was no better than a thief!
Her eyes were still red when she

noticed it, because Miles mother
was half hysterical herself.

she burst out petulantly. DO you

Of 100000 cubic yards, and these will
be floated into the cut as the dixie is
destroyed.
Meantime. not content with digging
