Sylvia read the advertisement hope
fully. She was young woman-i
twenty-five is young; she was capable
and for four years she had been pri
vate secretary to Henry Cowle, head
of the Lighting Investment company
But Sylvia was more than capable
sne was pretty and charming, too, and
young Harry Cowle had taken an
amazing liking to the details of Office
duty in his fathers corporation ever
since he came home from college and
saw her.
Henry Cowle looked upon his son Har.
ry with a fond paternal eye. He meant
him to have destiny, as he express.
ed it. The idea of his sons marrying
strange girl from a small country
town did not appeal to him. The young
people were not exactly engaged, but
Sylvia was just as fond Of Harry as
ne was OF her And SO matters drifted
until Henry Cowle interviewed.

put you In charge of our Portland
branch. You can start west tomorrow.

you to stick to your desk there for at

That was how the quarrel began.
Harry announced that, if he went. he
would take Miss Sylvia Latham with
him as his bride. Henry Cowle re.
joined that in that event he could re-
sign his position and take twenty-five
cents for wedding gift. In the mid

Worrying the Oil Dealers.

The olive oil dealers of southern
Europe have found a new source OF
worry.
After the oil Of commerce has been
pressed out there is left a residue
which has been treated by a steam
process to yield an inferior oil. which
has been used for making soap and
other industrial purposes.
Now way has been found of rer.
timing this waste oil, and a syndicate
has been formed to make it on a
large scale. The trouble comes from
the fact that there is no way TO dis.
tingu'sl ii from the oil pressed direct.
