DAY OF THE SMALL INVESTOR
Wiser Than the Speculator Is He Who
Puts His Money Into Bonds That
Work for Him.

or course, there are those who like
to run the risk of speculation. Not In.
frequently some one writes me that he
has a certain amount of money with
which he would like to speculate and
that he will not complain II he loses.
l don't encourage speculation because
l am not a teliever in 1t, yet I recog.
nize that man Is born speculator.
One will speculate in real estate, an
other in cotton, corn, oil or cheese.
The woman who goes to the bargain
counter and, because something Is
cheap, buys it, though she does not
need 1t, expects that she will need it
some day and she takes that chance.
In other words, she speculates.
In these days when $1O0 bonds of the
best kind are SO freely offered, and
when person can buy a single share
Of the most profitable railroad and in.
dustrial corporations just as readily
as big investor can buy 100 or 1000
shares, 1t Is not surprising that there
are more small investors than ever be-
fore. They are scattered all over the
country. Many farmer, clerk or
workman in the factory has quietly
slowed away few shares Of stocks
or few 500, $500 or $1,000 bonds.
They are working for him night and
day and paying him his interest regu.
larly ever six months and thus add.
ing to his store.-SSsssper in Leslie's.

Abraham, completely at sea, turned
next to her whom he had called MS
guardian angel; but Blossy was rising
from her seat, a battling smile OF ex-
pectancy on her face, the rose spray
swinging In her delicate hand as II 10
the measure of some music TOO taf
back in youth for anyone else to near.
Blossy had worn that expectant look
all day. She might have been deignt'
edly hugging to herself a secret wnlcn
she had not shared even with tne
trusted Abraham. She was gowneo
in her yellow lace, the beauty ana
grace Of which had defied the chang-
ing fashions as Blossy's remarkable
elegance of appearance had defed the
passing of the years.
Brother Abe,"-in her heedlessnees
of the mischief she had wrought,
Blossy seemed almost to sing-i
never shall forget your speech as long
as live. Will you excuse me now!
She swept out Of the door, her skirts
rustling behind her.
Abe collected himself SO far as to
bow in the direction she had taken;
then with lamblike eyes Of inquiry met
the exasperated glances cast upon
him.
Not a sister moved or spoke. They
all sat as IL glued to their chairs, In
silence that was fast growing appall-
ing.
Abe turned his head and looked be-
hind his chair for an explanation; but
nothing met his eye, save the familiar
picture on the wall Of two white kit
tens playing in the midst OF a huge
bunch Of purple lilacs.
Then there broke upon the stiffness
the quayerins old voice Of Aunt
! Nancy, from her place opposite Abe's
| at the head of the board. The aged
! dame had her two hands clasped be-
| fore her on the edge of the table.
| vainly trying to steady their palsied
shaking. Her eyes, bright. piercing.
age-defying. she fixed upon the bewil-
| dered Abraham with look OF deep
and sorrowful reproach. Her unsteady
| head bobbed backward and forward
with many an accusing nod, and the
cap with it's rakish pink bow bobbed
backward and forward too. Abe
watched her, fascinated, unconsciously
wondering, even in the midst Of his
dsquietude, why the cap did not slide
off her bald scalp entirely. To his
amazement, she addressed not himself.
but Angy.
SISTER Rose. yew kin leave the
room." Implacable purpose spoke in
Aunt Nancy's tone. Angy started.
looked up. going first red and then
white: but she did not move. She
opened her lips to speak.
Il don't want ter hear a word from
yew, nor anybody else," sternly inter-
posed Aunt Nancy. I'm old enough
ter be yer mother Go upstairs!"
Angy's glance sought Miss Abigail,
but the matron's eyes avoided hers.
The little wife sighed, rose reluctantly,
dropped her hand doubtfully reassur-
ing on Abe's shoulder, and then went
obediently to the door.
From the threshold she looked wist-
fully back; but an imperious wave
from Aunt Nancy banlshed her alto.
gether, and Abe found himself alone
not with the sisters whom he loved,
but with % hard-visaged strangers.

But most delightful surprise Of all
was his anniversary gift, which was
slyly slipped to his place after the dis
cussion of the rose-colored strawberry

parcel wrapped in pink tissue paper.
tied with pink string. and found to con-
tain SO much Virginia tobacco. which
Blossy had inveigled an old southern
admirer into sending her for Chart
able purposes"
After the presentation Of this valu.
able gift. Abraham felt that the time
had come for him to make a speech
practically his maiden speech.
He said at the beginning. more
suayely at his ease than he would
have believed possible, secure Of sym
pathy and appreciation, with Angy's
glowing old eyes upon her prodigy.
that all the while he had been at the
Home, he had never before felt the
power to express his gratitude for the
welcome which had been accorded
him-the welcome which seemed to
wear and wear. as II it were all wool
and yard wide, and could never wear
out.
The old ladies' nodded their heads In
approval Of this, every face beaming;
but as the speech went on the others
perceived that Abe had singled out
Blossy for special mention-blind.
blind Abraham-Blossy who had first
proposed admitting him into this para
disc; Blossy, who had given up her
sunny south chamber to his comfort
and Angy's: Blossy. who had been as
a "guardeen angel" to him; Blossy.
who as a fitting climax to all her sis.
terly attentions had given him today
this wonderful, wonderful pink tea.
and this five hull pound O. Virginny
terbaccer."
He held the parcel close to his
bosom, and went on. still praising
Blossy-this innocent old gentleman
needless of Angy's gentle tug at his
coat-tail; while Blossy buried her alb
surdly lovely face in the pink flush
Of wild-rose spray. and the other old
ladies stared from him to her. their
faces growing hard and cold.
When Abraham sat down, aglow
with pride over his oratorical tri-
umphs, his chest expanded, his counte-
nance wrinkled into a thousand guile
less, grateful smiles. there was abso-
lutte silence.
Then Blossy. her head still bowed as
If in shy confusion, began to clap her
hands daintily together, whereat few
Of the others joined her half-heartedly.
A sense of chill crept over Abraham.
Accustomed as rule to deferential
attention, did he but say good morn
ing, by no means aware that his throne
had toppled during the winter, he was
still forced to perceive that something
had gone 'amiss.
AS always when aught troubled his
mind, father" turned to Angy; but
instead of his composed and resource
full little wife he found scared-faced
and trembling woman. Angy had sud.
denly become conscious of the shadow
Of the green-eyed monster Angy's
loyal heart was crying out to her
mate: Don't git the sisters daown on
yer. Abe. .'cuz then. mebbe, yew'll lose

were so stiff with terror over the pros.
