CHAPTER XII.
A Man and His Wife.

In the downtown Offices or The
Quinby company and in the particular
room which may be called the head
quarters of the Quinby army, two men
were sitting late one winter afternoon.
The one was Henley himself, now
chairman of the company, bit stouter
than when We first met him twelve
years ago, his arrogance little less
evident in manner albeit time had not
altered the fact. The other Was
youngish man whose thin bOny face
and hands and streaks of premature
gray hair spoke of physical frailty.
1t was common knowledge III the
Quinby company that no one was
more welcome in Henley's office than
the young superintendent whom The
masters influence had put IN com
mand of the big new Open-hearth
plant 1t was even suspected that
Henley had taken Truitt i'll with him
in his speculations.
At the end of long discussion OF
company affairs Henley pressed but
ton. His secretary appeared from the
adjoining office.
Bring in the light and heat &C
count"
The secretary returned with the &C
count of the latest successful specula-
ton. Henley gave it rapid glance
and handed it to Mark. The latter
studied it carefully, questioned certain
items, questioned the explanation and
finally accepted them. Henley smiled

Roll of Real Money.

The flashing of a roll of greenbacks
amounting to more than one thousand
dollars by supposed hobo. arrested
OIL the streets Of Upland on a drunk
charge. caused a stir in Judge George
r. Cranes court.
When the man, who is apparently
fifty years of age, was arrested he
gave the name of F. w. McWilliam,
but later developments showed his
true name to be Finley Graham. A
search by the officers before the man
was placed In jail produced from
Graham's clothing stale bits Of lunch.
a razor and a pocket knife.
When taken to court the man wept
pitifully, with the result that Judge
Crane pronounced the light sentence
Of ten dollars or ten days in Jail with
the expectation that he would take
the latter. CONSERVATION reigned
when he produced the long green"

FIND PROFIT IN OLD SYSTEM +
Georoia Farmers Re-establish Smoke
houses Of Ante-BeIIum Days and
Are Making Money.

A number of farmers In Brooks
county, Georgia. have been going back
to methods once common, but which
have been superseded of late years, to
their own considerable profit, and to
the advantage of certain consumers.
These farmers objected to the COM
mercial system under which they were
receiving but seven and eight cents
pound for the pork which they raised,
while they saw the ham and bacon Of
commerce retailing in their own mar
kets for rs cents a pound. They re-
solved to re-establish the aute-bellum
smokehouses on their farms and imme-
diately carried the resolution into eff
feet.
Through cooperation they have
commenced marketing their products
in the finished form, and are building
up an extensive business. They find
that the profits which they make from
curing their own meats are relatively
larger, considering the time and ex-
pense involved, than those which they
were receiving from marketing hogs
on the hoof.
The remarkable thing about this
profitable experiment is that 1t has not
been worked out in any of the grain
centers or near any Of the country's
great markets. but in a remote county
in the extreme southern part of
Georgia, in q "one crop" section. and
that crop cotton.-Marion Times-Trib-

the air. One of Simon's rare and mis-
spelled missives informed Mark that
she was, in the phrase Bethel used,
keeping company with one Slocur,
prosperous young farmer of the vlcln-
ity. This may hardly be regarded as
poetic retribution. 1t caused Mark
few days surface indignation and
secret relief; one can not feel deeply
the loss Of a shadow, even though one
has paid price for her.
Kazia married; Unity, having Tilted

Bill Slocum! His tragedy had ended
in sheer farce. We do well, he con-
cluded, not to take our dramas too
seriously.
An amazing thing happened one day
There was the sound of a quick IN
familiar tread in the corridor, the door
was pushed briskly open and into the
room stepped Thomas Henley.
How are you, Truitt?' he inquired
shaking hands. Il was going by, had
a few minutes and ran up to find out
for myself"

piled out Of his amaZement.
Good" said Henley. Your father,
| presumed" He nodded toward Simon.
Mark made the necessary introduc-
tons. Simon said: PLEASED to meet
ye," and flushed for his son, who had
had to own up to the relationship.
Toward the other visitor Henley
glanced uncertainty a moment. then
held out hand.
All. Doctor Courtney! Do you hap
pen to remember me?" The question,
obviously, was in playful irony.

who did not share Simop's shyness.

Henley graciously, "am in your debt"

about our business that gets into the
bone and blood of a man.. He looked
at his watch and rose abruptly. Glad
you're getting along. Don't forget your
job is waiting for you"
But you don't seem to understand,
Mark cried. I'm done for. I'll have
to go on a cane, maybe crutch, all
my life. And the doctors say, no hard

he chose. Ali" he said gently.

makes a difference, Of course.
1t is possible that Henley was not
thinking of Marks commercial value
as he stood looking searchingly down
at the querulous patient.
Unexpectedly he leaned forward a
little. From his eyes commanding
flash leaped. He put out hand ana
caught one of Marks strongly.
Your brains don't need a crutch, do
they? II isn't brute strength that
makes you valuable-we can buy that
CHEAP. You said something about be
ing a man. Now's your chance to be
one What's a little thing like crutch
or a doctors prohibition? The meas
ure of a man is what he overcomes.
Go home and rest, get your nerve TO-
gether. And when you're ready, let
me know. I'll find place for you.
He was gone. And there was Mark
who had just been weakly If resent

war-horse that has heard the bugle
call.

He turned to Mark. Simon and
Courtney pushed their chairs back
from the bedside. that the great man
might hold the stage.
When" Henley asked, do you ex-
pect to come back to us?"
Mark WINGED and returned to the
sullenness that was becoming his
habit. I'm going backbone"
The pause and the slight emphasis
on the last word were not lost on Hen
ley; a suspicion as to their import
stirred. But:
