to say word for her he'd do it. for
he's on the school board. But il
she won't let him keep company

that for her."
There had been pause before
Ezra added, rising and stretching.
'If she took him. we'd never have 70
worry about what would happen to
her il we were to die. Maria. Well,
1 must be going to church. I guess
you're too tired to go - aren't you ?"
Yes" the wife said, 'I am too

Her husband did not kiss her be-
fore starting for the sanctuary. Such
caresses between them were re-
served for use before longer jour-
neys than a half-mile walk, and for
greater periods of time than an
hour and a half. Yet when they
were young he used to kiss her
often, the wife recollected now. For
they had loved each other always,
though now that they were old they
said less about it and did not

This brought her mind back to
the conversation with her husband,

TODAY'S BEAUTY AIDS

To clear up and whiten the skin
and secure that charm of pink and
white youthful freshness so much de-
sired by all women you will find 1t
far safer to rely upon a good face
lotion rather than powder. To get
rid of that shiny and muddy appear
ance in your complexion, dissolve four
ounces of spurmax in one-half pint
hot water, and add two teaspoonfuls
glycerine. Apply this to your face,
neck and arms, rubbing gently until
dry. This lotion does not show or
rub off like powder and is much bet
ter. It is splendid for removing tan,
freckles, pimples and sallowness.
You can make a delightful sham
poo for a very trifing cost il you
get from your druggist u package
of canthrox and dissolve a teaspoon
full in cup of hot water. Pour a
little at time on the scalp and rub
briskly. This creates an abundance
of thick, white lather that thorough

excess oil and dirt. After rinsing, the
hair dries quickly, with a f1uff1ness
that makes it seem heavier than II is,
and takes on a rich luster and a soft
ness that makes arranging it pleas

Formerly, it made steel auto parts and
stampings. Another small company
that has long been peacefully en-
gagged in making metal pipes is now
shipping 1000 shells a week.
This conversion of all sorts of shops
and mills into. munition factories
might seem to entail a heavy invest
ment which will yield no return after
the war is over. AS matter of fact,
the first order usually pays for all
the machinery needed.
All Working for Europe
Binocular companies, wire firms,
electrical concerns, are all making
something to fill European orders.
Small plants that have been closed for
years are running at capacity. The
prosperity extends largely 10 AKRON

manufacturing places. The stock of
one tire company in Akron went up
to S041s few days since. Another
large rubber company, that has not
paid a dividend since its organization,
recently experienced rise on the eX-
change from 20 to rs.
Needless to say, great deal OF
money has been made in stock here
in the last few months. Also, a goodly
share of the prosperity is getting into
the pockets of the people by way Of
the payment of large dividends. A
less satisfactory phase is the fever of

CHAPTER III.


TCopyriCht. 1915, Star Company.
Mrs. Ezra Hardy was sitting on the
covered porch of the old house as her
daughter and Ned Sanderson opened
the gate and came slowly up the
path.
The house was not far back from
the road. 1t had been built by Ezra $
grandfather in the days before the
village had spread as far as this
place, and when it was a conve-
nience to have the path from the
road so short that it could be soon
cleared of the heavy snow-storms,
which were more frequent three
generations ago than now.
The house had undergone few
changes. but much of the land sur
rounding it, and which had once
been a part of the old farm, had
been sold bit by bit by the present
owner until only a few of the orig
inal acres remained. Farming did
not pay in these days, Ezra Hardy
was wont to declare, in these sales.
Nor was he as strong as when he
was younger. He had no sons TO
having died in infancy. Jane was
now his only child. He was almost
glad of this as he realized that it
would take all the money he could
raise to support his wife and him
self should they live to be as old
as his parents had been.
He must mortgage the old home
still further than he had already
done unless he could succeed in SELL
ing the lot back of the house. 1t
was doubtful if this piece of land
could be sold at present, for it was
not a good building site, and that
oil that nnnnln
erty for in Milton nowadays, for
building lots.
1t was of these things that Ezra
had talked to his wife this evening
before starting for church. Jane
had gone earlier than her father,
for she must attend the Christian
Endeavor service at o'clock. And
it was of this conversation that
Mrs. Hardy had mused as she sat
here alone after her husbands de-
parture. For there had been more
to the conversation than the mat
ter of the farm. Almost timidly
Ezra had remarked upon the fact
that Augustus Reeves seemed to
like Jane a good deal.
''I guess" he said awkwardly.
that he'd ask her to marry him If
he dared"
A Good Man and
Deacon in the Church.
"Oh, Ezra!" the mother protested.
This idea had occurred to her often
of late. but it sounded disagreeably
bald when put into words.
We'll, why not?" her husband
argued. He's a good man and n
deacon in the church"
But he's too old for JAMIE" the
mother demurred. She's only
twenty-one and he must be forty
five. Besides" with an effort to
voice her conviction - she don't
love him"
Perhaps she don't now" Ezra
conceded, but she may learn to.
And, Maria, he can give her a good
home, for he's we'll off,"
81 know it, the mother agreed.
But loves morn money. We mar
ried for love, Ezra"
She laughed embarrassedly as she
said it, then added: And I've never
felt sorry we did"
