Nothing in the United States

and Mr.. Terry has delivered the
goods. After deep and earnest re
search we find this man of only
thirty three summers, real dyna,

own town His home located in
the Back Bay of Brockton, with
Hon. w. L. Douglas, the shoe
king his next door neighbor, sur
rounded by elegant lawns, kept by
a white landscape gardener, with
four automobiles in his garage on
his estate, we are caused to marvel
at such progro SIS, and such sim
pliclty as we learn belongs to this
unique citizen.

the real secret of keeping poverty

died in the East few months pre-

his debts. Only one possible asset
was discovered-a half interest in the
Triumph mine at Sierra. His part

Maurice had come west to see if

He was interested in her the mo-
ment he met her, and her sad story
won his deepest sympathy and re-

1t appeared that her father was an
old friend of the father of Maurice,
who had financed the mine. Its value
was undeniable, but Mr.. Allen had
died at a time when more capital was
needed, and Mr.. Dale broke down I'M

His daughter had become surety for
these and was nobly striving to pay
them off before she went to relatives
