voice. For a base second he knew
that by refusing the stories the wed
ding of the girl would at least be
held back. The thought was r1dlcu'
lous as it was sudden. He picked up
the stories and found them acceptable.
During six months following checks,
steadily augumenting In value, found
their way from the cashiers OF num-
erous magazines to Hiram Wood. His
stories. thank to Hannah, had found
big market and the manuscript oox
had all but disgorged It's contents
Also Hiram had sent on many more.
and a new softness and beauty OF
touch marked them.
Hannah was delighted with her
work and had made a conquest OF
more than one editor. Often she had
lunched or had tea with them, and
New York grew steadily in it's fas'
cination for her. She began to fear
her return to her native -illage, and,
more than all, she feared to tell Hiram
that she was in no way certain OF her
love for him. She could no longer
deny that Hiram was not the man to
make her happy, nor was he the man
whom she desired to marry. Hannah
flushed. and little wistful smile
PLAYED across her features. 1t was
seldom she allowed herself to picture
the man whom she did want to marry
the one whom she loved with all
her heart. And he!
HE thinks am engaged TO hiram
but I know he loves me even II ne
does not tell me So
Two days later Hannah received
another story from Hiram. And there
was q letter-a letter that one would
exnect to bring sadness to the eyes OF
Tho airl who read it. Instead, smile
deem and thankful grew steadily IN
Hannah's heart. Her way was very
clear now, but how-how-could she
tell the other man about 1t?
Suddenly she decided to act as the
heroine would in fiction. She left her
letter from Hiram within tie folds
Of his story an sent 1t to the other
man The other man was the first
editor whom she had intsrviewed.
After that Hannah waited results.
In the afternoon she heard from
1ohn Danyers. Could she come down
about s o'clock? He wanted to talk
with her about Hiram Wood and one
!
other. Hannah went
Danvers was bit nervous when
she entered his office, and the girl
only smiled. The editor began with
out preface.

script and read it, he told her, and
his face was shade white.
Hannah looked quickly up with hel
, appealing eyes.

blush. IF you had not read 1t, how

1T was fun" agreed Algernon.
"How's the little comedy?" asked
Holmes carelessly.
Algernon flushed He was annoyed
with Holmes for spelling his morning,
but the fellow was doing him a good
turn by taking another name for a
while, a kindness few men would have
been willing to consent to. and Alger-
non felt that he should at least appear
grateful He laughed lightly, and
shrugged the question aside. Come

graciously. "And say. If you-er-tt
you get tight, you must let me know"
He nodded good-by and without wait

hurried away through the woods.
Instead of taking the path to the
garage he chose the one through the

To Our Patrons

American Fork, Utah, Dec. II, 1914
On account of some complaints, and
SO much dissatisfaction amoung our
customers over the practice of stores
giving away canday and other pres
ents free, II has been decided by us
to ourtail and put stop to this I'M
businesslike habit, commencing Jan.
|, 1915.
The cause of so much dissatlsfac-
ton came about by giving some in
dividuals candy while othere were UNI
Intentionally overlooked. Furthermore
some customers have been given pres
ents when they paid their bills OF long
standing, while others who have paid
their accounts every month. and some
times oftener. and who have paid the
cash at time Of purchase, have not re-
celved anything.
After due consideration, and with
view of treating all our customers
alike, We have come to the conclusion
hereinbefore mentioned. We trust
our patrons will realize the necessity
OF our action In this matter and help
us to carry 1t out.
Wishing you all Happy Christmas,

Little Snow In Mountains
Mines Generally deserted and Pros.
pectOrs Come Out For the
Winter.

American Fork canyon now con-
tains about two and one-half feet Of
snow up at the Pacific mine. The
road Is we'll beaten and there Is good
sleighing all the way up the canyon.
The snow at the Miller hill usually
reaches a depth of from four to six
feet, but those best acquainted say
that there Is plenty Of time for snow
yet. Often the greatest quantity falls
after the first of the year. Ed Kinds,
the veteran prospector Of the canyon,
predicts light snow fall this season.
The latest information states that
the canyon is settling down to its
regular winter program. But two
properties are continuing work in the
main canyon. The leasers on the
Mineral Flat will continue to block
out ore during the winter months, and
the Pacific leasers are continuing
pushing the deep tunnel into the hill
at the rate of about two and one half
feet per day, At present the face is
in hard quartzite, making progress
