Sure enough, there was what did
look like "Holpos" on the end OF the

Rhythm of Work.

Rhythmic noises or motions in par

that his own motions will in some way

stropping your razor some morning
and chew gum at the same time. If
you concentrate on your wrist move

Especially when people thought she
had been In love with Jim Furber,
who was serving ten years sentence
in the penitentiary for stealing nfty
thousand dollars from the bank that
had employed him. Nobody knew for
certain that Jenny had cared for Jim
but anyway, there he was, shut up
behind prison walls for goodish part
IL his working life.
Would Jenny go to the train? we
were frankly curious. We wanted to

There was to be town welcome, and
a spread for the homecomer and his
wife in Doc. Williams house.
Yes, Jenny was going to the station.
The whole of Merivale's inhabitants
had gone trooping down, and all the
offices were closed. You see, 1t isn't
often a millionaire comes to Meriyale
to settle down. And we had never

JENNY and Frank-that was the abb

was going, nothing could have re-

1t seemed endless that waiting, but
at last the train steamed in. Frank and
his wife were in the front carriage.

swung a pretty. buxom lady TO her

Then he presented Doc to his wife,

the couple and giving them the best
welcome in Merivale. And Jenny?

And, before anybody knew what was
happening, Jenny had kissed Frank

had kissed Mrs. Frank, and Mrs.

BACK TO MERIVALE
BY FRANK FILsoN.

I suppose 1t is human nature to be
Interested in the misfortunes OF our
feIlow-beings, and that excuses the
interest that everybody In Meriyale
took In Jenny Walsh. IL was not ami
mated by any spirit OF unkindness-
nut we all wanted to see how Jenny
would take 1t.
Frank Stockleigh and his bride were
coming back to Meriyale.
Jenny had been pretty once That
was ten years before. She wasn't
much to look at now. though some
Thought that she had charm. But
charm doesn't last much beyond thir-
Ey-ive. At least, I'll qualify that by
relating what our mayor, Doc. VIII
Jams. said. After thirty-f1ve, he said,
a woman must have matronly charm
Because the girlish charm has grown
stale. That bore out his reputation
as the village wiseacre. And Jenny
was still slim and girlish. but she was
growing into a middle-aged woman.
Yet 1t didn't seem so long since
Frank had been madly in love with
her. She was a light-hearted girl In
those days. She had known Frank
since they we're children-but she re-
dected him. Nobody exactly knew
why some thought she was in love
with ne'er-do-well Jim Furber. Any
way, Frank Stockleigh went West, and
now he was returning, the owner OF
the Montana copper mine and mil
Iionaire several times over. He had
Bought Squire Gray's house, and an
nounced that he and his wife were
coming back to make Merivale their

He and his wife! He had married

the things we wanted to know how
Jenny would take. 1t does need
