Office historians. The passage of time is
great concealer, but it is also a great
discloser. For instance, we all knew that
the Wayfarers had come to town when
the town was a little place. The small
given to them by Arthur's father, long
since dead and forgotten, and time was
when the young married couple had been
able to feel something of the thing called
social position" But the city, the cost
of living, the whole modern world, had
outgrown them. Life went faster than
they could go.
"Thank the Lord, | have home-a
comfortable home!" Wayfarer had often
said in the dark ages.
He had taken solid comfort in it, There
were three stories and the cellar; and
after the day of apartments had come,
whenever he thought of that layer life, he
would go down to put coal on the furnace,
and from there start for the top of the
house, looking in at every room. in an orgy
of ownership.
"Well, you all know what happened to
that" Mayo told us. "Years ago, on some
pretense or other that Arthur was i'm
provident,- AS, of course, he is,-she tried
to take over the management of the house
hold expenses. imagine | can hear that
creamy voice of hers now, cajoling him
But he wouldn't do it-not that he sls-
pected that she meant to put her talons
on money to waste on herself, but he
thought that it was more dignified for the
man to pay the bills And then, about
five years ago, she hit upon the device of
cutting their home up into flats to let,
leaving the ground floor for him. ! sup
pose she wasn't having enough of theaters
and moving picture shows and women's
clubs and clothes. She snaked away his
home-his last pleasure and pride!"
We all knew too, the variety of her at
tack when she came to the office for
money. She had been overheard.
ARTHUR dear, can you let me have
little money!" she would say. Owe
come downtown without any"
But Patty, i have only dollar"
"Well, you don't need it, do you? Just
let me take it. If you want to buy a maya
zine tonight, here's fifteen cents I've
found in my pocket-book.
There would come the inevitable laugh,
the indulgent laugh half sigh; then the
rustic of a bank-note, and the sound Of the
flap of bill-fold nearly always empty.
"It's all right, Arthur" she. would ask.
"Of course. I'll jingle my keys, Have
good time, dear" .
Or, on some occasions, she would begin
by asking for few cents. w.,
"lt's been so dull at home all day, and
so rainy, that | thought I'd like to go to
the matinee.
Wayfarer, pretending that he had bust
ness outside, would go downstairs to the
cashiers cage.
Half dollar-till the end of the
month, Ed?" he would say
"All right. I'll make it personal adj
vance, Arthur. Just remember it on the
thirtieth, will you? Don't you want
more? No?"
So the victim would come back tri-
umphant; he would put the coin down
before the Vampire as proudly as a male
tiger would lay newly killed antelope at
the feet of his mate
"Then you can hear her give little cry
of joy said Mayo. "I'm glad I'm a
bachelOr!"

head
He coughed at the beginning of every
paragraph of dictation; he took up the
old photograph of Patience when she was
a girl with morning-song beauty and al
Turing tenderness in her eyes, and polished
the glass on his coat sleeve. He wore the
same stubby, broad-toed shoes which
We're so sensible, the same low collars, the
same gay ties which were almost the last
vestiges of his self-indulgence.
He still stopped at the Italians shop
to buy his one evening cigar. He still put
big pink peppermints on the stenogra-
pliers desks. He continued to follow the
Vampire with his blinking meditative,
affectionate gaze.
He was older. He had put new fe-
verish energy into his daily task, as if he
feared he might fall behind. But, after
all, he was the same Arthur Wayfarer.
LIE showed his first interest in the affairs
of Adam Prentice and Anita Whelan.
Taking the young man into his Office one
day. he talked to Internationally
"Did you find the apple when you came
in?' he asked wasn't it pretty? And,
by the way, didn't hear some talk about
your being engaged to Anita Whelan--
about year ago.
Prentice laughed. 1--WE weren't en-
gagged. Not that
"Well, something of the sort" said old
Wayfarer. "Fine girl Excellent wife
She make. ought to know"
He pointed at the picture in the tar
nished oval standing on the two little feet
of the frame. Prentice almost laughed.
He felt that Arthur's object lesson was
one of the reasons why he had growing
distaste for speaking to any woman of
marriage One never could tell.
"Women are better than we are, Way
farer went on. "That is something you
will learn. Now, do not think Miss
Whelan is very beautiful. But able?
Yes, sir! And a great, wide, ever-flowing
stream of that nameless something-a
clear, beautiful, calm, endless flow Of
What shall we call it?"
81 don't know what to call it, Adam
admitted.
"Neither do L." said the other. But
if woman has it, and a man is half Il
man, life pays Yes, sir; it pays over and
over again. 1t doesn't make any differ
ence what the sacrifices are,-there'l be
plenty, probably Ill be glad to make
EN- and it won't do you any harm. Oh.
well, life pays! You don't mind my saying
so? Go and ask her to marry you"
But Prentice shook his head good
naturally.
"l'll tell you, Mr.. Wayfarer," said he.
81 once spoke of marriage to Miss Whelan,
but it was long ago, and ! don't believe
it will ever come up again"
THIS conversation, according to his
own story, took place about two weeks
before the Fletcher-Jaynes interest was
absorbed by the new combination in the
flour and cereal trade. If any employee
desired to know just how much human
touch existed between himself and the
heads of the business, he might have found
out then: the first any of the "boys'
knew of the sale of the FL was when they
saw the story in the newspapers.
OF course, there was much discussion
about the changes that might be wrought
No one could be sure that the Eastern

By placing labels marked Grown

Local merchants should patronise

encourage diversified farming and
livestock growing in Mississippi
Every boy and girl in your county
should own a pig, a calf or some
chickens.
Bankers should loan money on
farms to do livestock farming.
Have the schools in your county
take up the study of products grown
in Mississippi.
The Germans grew to be a strong

announcement | realize fully the
responsibilities resting upon the
man who holds that office, and l
am familiar with the arduous du-

II elected to this position would
so endeavor to conduct the office
that the rights of the innocent

that the guilty would receive the
punishment deserved because of
the wrong done the State and all

partial, enforcement of the law is
the bulwark Of the constitutional
rights of our people. Bishop, the
eminent authority on criminal law,
says that the first element to be
possessed by prosecuting officer
is integrity. That statement is
equally true of every public ofici-
al who must realize that has office

private welfare, but a public off

engaged in special legislative work
of vital interest to the welfare OF
Mississippi, My course there is
