Through weeks of growing doubts
and fears the girl worked on. Her
mother had to be cared for. And she
had to be told encouraging stories
every evening as to Annals prospects.
But finally Mr.. Bantam's attentions
broke down the girls strength of will.
Alfred Bantam had notorious repu-
tation in the store, but he had I'M
limited power in his department, and
each girl, knowing that her position
depended on his good graces, sub
mitted quietly to his insolent admira-
ton.
For three weeks he had pursued
Anna Clough, now inviting her to the
aters, now to supper. At first he had
laughed at her refusals; but finally,
when he understood that she was in
earnest, the bully's nature showed
itself
WELL" he said, coming up to her
later in the day, ''have you considered
the matter, Miss Anna? Come, don't
be a little fool. l mean well by you
and I'll treat you handsome. My
wife's getting a divorce, anyway.
What do you say to hot bird at
Brantini's after we've taken in show
tonight?"
The odious, leering face was thrust
out toward her own. With sudden
passion, the girl swung out her arm
and her fist landed on Mr.. Bantam's
face. He staggered backward and
glared about him. Two or three girls
were laughing.
"You needn't come back after Sat-
urday," he said to Anna in a low
voice of intense ma1ignity, and stalk
ed away.
you little fool! You done for
yourself now!" said one of the girls.
Gee! 1 wish 1 had your nerve,
thought"
Anna Clough went on with her

sale of few jewels to which Mrs.
Clough had chung after the crash
and upon hope!
''Mr. Marshall wants to see you, -
shouted Mr.. Bantam half an hour be-
fore closing time.
Anna Clough walked up the stairs
and entered the big Office where, par
titioned off from two or three dozen
bookkeepers and assistants, the head
of the firm pulled the threads of his
gigantic enterprise.
She would not tell him. She felt
that she could not go to him as
friend after his neglect. Four months
she had toiled for him at seven dol
lars a week, and only at the linen
counter. She knew linens through
and through. Marshall had forgot
ten her; he was just as Lucy had de-
scribed him. But he had a ahobby
of giving each girl her discharge in

advice and solicitous counsel-the

Instantly a broad smile came upon
Mr.. MarshaIl's face. He waved her
to a chair.

Clough. Well, how do you like the
store?"

and Mr.. MarshalPs face took on

MINERAL POINTS BIG SALE OATS
Nothing 20 Compare with Them in the
History of Southwestern Wisconsin.

The second experiment by our mer-
chants of putting on a three-days sale,
each one specializing in one or more sub
stantial articles, has proved a winner.
On the days of this gigantic business
step (Dec. 4, and n the weather was
good aud roads never better. AS re-
suit people came from every direction
and from far away. They reaped a
benefit and cheerfully volunteered ac-
acknowledgement. They secured fresh,
substantial goods of all kinds, just
what they needed and were happy and
departed for their homes full of praise
for the square dealings of the Mineral
Point merchants, their large, excellent
stocks and clean, modern stores.
No better move was ever made to es-
tablish convincingly that Mineral Point
is leading and progressive city, the
peer OF any its size and the equal of
many of the more pretentious, and that
her business men are thoroughly reli
able and their goods high grade and
prices reasonable.
If the result of these sales is any cri-
terion there's healthy boom on for
Mineral Point. Buyers of the neces-
saries of life should remember that
there are always special advantages in
purchasing from the fresh, clean, reh-
able stocks kept by our merchants. In
fact they are perpetual specials.

The average yield Of wheat in the
United States is about thirteen bush
els per acre. The average yield in
Germany is twenty-six bushels, and in
England thirty two. Does this argue
that the soil and climate Of Europe are
better .qpted to wheat growing than
those Of the United States2 Not at
all. II proves only that careful farm
