WHERE THE HEART IS.
By JEAN DICKERSON.
(CopyriEht, I9l4.l


The Widow How'd was red-haired
brown-eyed. with a complexion like
Strawberries and cream and a bewilder-
ing smile.
Doctor James Cole noted I'll thest
chcrms IL a casual sort of way while he
dickered over the purchase OF the
widows horse, Peter.
He is tn. dearest old tling.' confided
the wi6ow as she patted Peters "A, sides
Not so dreadfully old, either, only
tWelve-and he has the cUtest tricks. II
you carry lump of sugar in your pGCIl-
ct Peter will put his nose right in ard
steal it-oh. Peter, you naughty pony"
she chided as Peters black muzzle
emerged from the doctors coat pocket
He's full of tricks all right" agreed
tie doctor.
Pleas don't be cruel &c him" pro
tested Adella How'd. Why 1 couldn' I
kind TO him"
I've never ill-treated a horse in my
life" said the doctor ironica, Is.
While I cannot have Peter in the
house with me ! shall make him quite
comfortable in my new stable. and /
shall not braid red ribbons in his name. -
I'm quite sure you will not. retorted
Mrs. How'd. her smile vanishing in a
fash OF resentment IF you have quite
decided upon buying Peter, you might
conclude the transaction now. I cannot
afford to keep him. I rarely use him and
he eats so much"
The transaction was soon ended. and
Mrs. How'd tucked a check away in her
cash-box, while DR.. Cole harnessed Peter
TO the smart runabout which he had
also purchased and prepared to drive
away to Peters new home.
Goodbye, Peter. dear" whispered
Adella in Peters ear. And forgive me
for selling you to such a cross old bear.
DR.. Cole whipped of his hat in fare
well and drove away from Mrs. Howd's
cottage. Hdella locked the big gate, and
closed the stable door on Peters empty
quarters. Then she went into the house
and had a good cry for she had been fond
Of Peter.
Adel,a How'd was a very busy little
woman. She wrote sage advice for the
kitchen column Of small rural weekly
and she baked the most delicious viands
for the womans exchange in the village. |
The new doctor. the one who had bought
Adella's horse, traded regularly at the
exchange and always demanded AdeIla'
bread and pies and cakes
On this evening when she had parted
with Peter, Adella had her household
column TO write, so she quite forgot
about the empty stable, and at 10 o'clock
went Up to bed.
She was Just dropping of to sleep
when there came the sound of pound |
ing hoofs from the road outside, a
pause and a heavy thud in the yard, ]
then the familiar trot trot of Peters
feet as he went to the barn.
Adella went TO the window and looked |
Sure enough, there was Peter. standing
before the barn door.
She donned some clothing and went
down into the yard. Just then DR.. Cole
arrived, painting and disheveled, and
quite irascible at the occurrence.
TITS going to be a nuisance, Mrs. |
How'd he said, frowningly.
TN very sorry, Doctor soothed the |
little widow. but Peter was homesick-l !
and I'm sure he will not repeat the |
offense.''
So Peter was led home by the doctor, |
who quite forgot his evaporation in the
train Of thought that pursued him even |
after he had returned to his pillow.

BANK DISCUSSES
TRADE SITUATION
Commercial National of This
City Says Pessimism Is
Unwarranted.
SITUATION NOW In HAND
Financial Institutions Handled Mat
ters with Conspicuous Good
Sense Through Crisis.

After a thorough review Of financial
conditions following the declaration OF
hostilIties abroad. the Commercial Ma
tional Bank, OF this city. in its September
digest Of trade conditions, says:
The great question Of the future is,
when will the war end? No one can an
swer that, for no one knows what fresh
complications will develop. nor what
measures will be resorted to by the bel
ligerents to increase their funds and SO
keep on fighting. The waste caused by
the war and the hardships which have
resulted from It for women and children
AFFORD basis for the theory that the con-
htct must end before many months.
Count Witte. the Russian hnancier.
thinks that 1t is nearing fts end already.
and that there will not be much more
fighting. But that may be the judgment
of a prejudiced expert, who fails TO take
in the extent OF the German prepared
ness for this sad struggle. Be that as IL
may. 1t is TO be hoped that the contend
ing forces will find II possible later on
TO take up the question Of peace negotia-
tions through the good off1ces OF Presi-
dent Wilson.
War invariably increases the cost OF
living. In this conflict the rise in the
price OF foodstuffs has already attracted
the attention OF government and State
officials, and there will be prosecutions
In cases where II can be shown that ad-
vance in the price Of foodstufTs is the
result OF conspiracy between tradesmen
or wholesalers. So far as general bust
ness is concerned, there is no reason to
take an ultra-pessimistic view OF the fu-
ture. Some industries are bound 10 be
greatly depressed by the readJustment
forced by the Withdrawal OF the for
eign demand for our goods. In a few
other industries. there may be temporary
activity brought about by the increased
demand for shipping supplies and the
other things which go with them. But
he effect must be disturbing. since no
Iuch huge expense bill can be liquidated
without causing hardship and distress to
many people in lands far distant from
he scene of hostilities.
Money rates are ranging around and
per cent. The latter rate obtains for
many classes Of collateral loans secured
~ speculative securities. The banks Of
he large reserve centers, as well as those
ocated in the smaller cities have
handled the situation with conspicuous
-ood sense. There have been many prob
ems TO work out. some Of which have
'roved extremely difficult. But II must
lot be forgotten that this is a year OF
Jumper crops. that Europe will pay an
high price for our wheat which /
he simply must have. and that the peo- /
lie of the United States have been living
or more than a year upon a scale OF
Expenditures that shows marked reduc-
Ions from the extravagant basis of a few
ears ago. Besides that. railroad rates
ave been raised moderately"
