They had been talking that way for
about year. The persons meant Dy
they comprised good proportion OF
the little town of Manchester. Both
! the young man and the girl had been
born there. and were known to every
body. The couple were talked about
the FIRST time they went skating. To-

away to college to take the course IN
civil engineering, and the girl went 70

nothing else talked about for a week.

to saw q good word for everybody.
There ara plenty of girls who were
born to be hustlers and would have
been hustlers but for circumstances
They have what is called the CONNER
ciaI instinct Just as much as a young
man. They can see opportunities for
speculation just as quickly. Given the

The girls attitude toward the civil
