while Joy Graham turned to George
and Vivian, who were sitting together
on a settee and said: Wont you two
please excuse Mr.. Nelson and myself:
want to talk little business to him
privately"
Leaving them on the porch, Reginald
and Joy Graham sauntered out into a
pasture field.
"I have come to see you this evening
about your future plans" said the
girl. 1T may seem improper for a
young woman in my place to do this
but I am not doing it for your sake
remember 1 am thinking Of the honor
of our family and also Of the good OF
Bronson. We need just such a paper
in Bronson as you had made the Cou-
rier-a newspaper that has principle
and which stands for the welfare OF
the community at all times. / want
you to originate and control just such
a newspaper in Bronson. have even
named this new paper. 1t will be call
ed the Bronson Tribune, and the editor
Of it will be Reginald Nelson"
The ex-editor looked in astonishment
at the girl by his side.
Tell me what you mean," Reginald
responded after a brief pause.
Il have a little fortune which was
left to me by my mothers family
Joy Graham continued. This came
into my entire control when 1 was
eighteen, and I want to use part Of
it in this enterprise for the good OF
Bronson. I said believed in you.
Now will prove it."
The girl stopped and opened hand
bag which she carried on her left
arm. She took out small package
and handed it to Reginald. you will
find $4,000 in that package" she said.
"At the end Of a month Mr.. Davis
Parker, the lawyer will give you
another package Of bills Of equal
amount, and in still another month you
will get $4,000 more. l want to in
trust this to you that you may estab-
lish with it a real newspaper which
will make effective in our social life
the teachings Of Mr.. Sunday and DR..
Rutledge.
Reginald Nelson was too amazed to
speak for a moment, and he stood
holding the package which the girl
had given him, looking alternately
from it to his companion.
Il understand" he answered slowly,
but l could not think Of thus risking
your inheritance"
1T is a matter of business, remem-
ber." said the girl, with determination.
The newspaper is to belong to you,
them" After a silence Reginald spoke
thus to the girl.
Yes" she answered. but my part
in the enterprise is. of course. to re-
main a secret for the present. Mr..
Davis Parker will act as my trustee.
and you will never need to consult
with me directly in regard to anything
connected with the Bronson Tribune,
as he will be my agent
Reginald Nelson knew Mr.. Davis
Parker well. He was one of the rising
young lawyers of Bronson, and in COM
pany with several other members Of
the Bronson bar he had "hit the saw
dust trail during the tabernacle
meetings.
Il think 1 understand your propo-
sition, Miss Graham, and l accept it,
assuring you that l will guarantee
you against any financial loss. 1 am
glad to say that 1 can make good this
guarantee some time
No guarantee is necessary" replied
the girl stoutly. II am making busi-
ness investment"
The enterprise will succeed" said
Reginald, his enthusiasm beginning to
awaken as he saw his life plans open
before him.
when do you think you can bring
out the first edition of the Trbune?"
asked Joy as they neared the Derwent
home.
Il will return to Bronson tomorrow"
rejoined Reginald, land l think l can
rent a building, get machinery and
workmen together so that / can begin

weeks"
Where have you two been?" asked
the farmers daughter when they had
reached the porch. IF see any more
of this. Joy. shall be compelled to
speak to Roland"
Don't worry replied Joy, with a
wan little smile. Mr. Nelson and
have finished all the business discus
sion we will ever need to have togeth-
er. / came to announce to him that
he is to be the editor of a new paper
which will soon be published in Bron-
SON."
On the following day, to the sur
prise Of friends and enemies alike,
Reginald Nelson appeared in Bronson
and commenced at once his plans for
the publication of the Bronson Tri-
bune.
When Mr. Graham and Roland Greg
ory returned from their trip to the
east, where they had engaged a new
editor at a high salary, they were as
founded to hear Of Reginald Nelson's
sudden temperance in Bronson and
of his contemplated plant for rival
newspaper.
1T is a bluff" said Mr.. Graham, in
astonishment, when he first heard the
news The fellow will not dare to
do that"
If Mr.. Graham was astonished when
he first heard of Reginald Nelson's
purpose to start a rival newspaper, he
was dumfounded the next day at
something still more amazing to him.
Davis Parker, the young lawyer who
was the legal adviser of the reform
element, called on him and paid in
full the amount of the judgment
against Reginald for his shares of
stock in the Courier Publishing COM
pany.
do you want to purchase these
shares which Mr.. Nelson owns" asked
