Did you write that letter YETI" she
demanded
Yes" he answered shortly.
It's about time to write another
one, isn't it?"
No" he replied. defantly. I'm not
going to write any more"
She looked at him and shook her
head. but she said nothing, and her
very silence angered him.
What's the use?" he hotIy went
on. and she OWNED that, after all,
his anger was more at himself than
at her. why should hide the facts
from myself any longer. I've grown
away from Prosperity"
Il should say you had" she agreed.

changed for the worse, 1t wouldn't

continued. paying no attention to her
interruption, and the people are not

minded him; but that doesn't keep
you from writing to the girl"
He hesitated a moment.
But her letters do" he finally said

Of paint on the Baptist church. and

ing you?"
Money" he replied gleefully, and
displayed a huge roll of bills
Who died in your family?" she
asked
1t isn't that" he laughed but
New York has too much loose coin
for man to leave. I've found out
how to take its wealth away from it."
Good" she exclaimed Little old
New York needs a trimming. Go
after it and get it good But how
are you doing it? I'm greedy to
know"
oh, just specializing a little in
stock and grains" he replied.
Reuben, Reuben" she gasped
You'll be the death of me yet"
You're mistaken in the name" he
retorted. It's Hiram H. Hanks of

Prosperity. What a merry wag you
must be when you're going good"

Just for that I'll make you listen to
my real name"
From his pocket he drew a stamped
and addressed letter and pointed to
the James r. Carroll" written in the
corner under the Belveigh card.
And here's the girl" he said

The Manicure Girl pushed back his
hand, and hastily reached down his
hat from the hook overhead
Rum" she exclaimed. Get away
quick before they find out you've got

to strangle you"
He merely grinned.

growled Billy.
It did not seem to happen right at
once, however Every time James E.
Carroll came In he looked more pros
porous, and he told the Manicure Girl
each time of how much money he
was making as a grain and stock
operator" Every time It was more
and more. He didn't exactly boast
about It; he was only gleeful In a
large, childish way. and 1t is doubt

he did to Miss Williams. He had
constituted her his confidante from
the beginning, and seemed to feel 1t
a solemn duty, as well as a Joy, to
come in and let her know his prog

transition from a country boy to an
aIl-rounder. His clothing now was

second. and everything about him
was right on the dot; but IN place
of the rugged pink and brown Of his
cheeks he now had a massaged COM

his eyes.

Meredith and CrOnin, the contractors,

City Attorney Bond has handed
down the decision that the petition
to have the street paved with cement
was invalid. although it represented
the wishes of the majority of property
owners because two women had sign
ed themselves as the heirs OF the
Savage estate" Because they had in
correctly signed the petition they be-
came petitioners for brick, under the
terms of the street Improvement law,
thereby giving the brick advocates the
majority.
For a time there was talk of taking
this case to the courts, but it is be-
lieved now that the resident property
owners of North Seventh street who
favored a cement paving are recon
ciled to having a brick paving put
down. A GOODNESS, however, marks the
relations of many neighbors who were
formerly fast friends.
