CHAPTER XXI.
"Our Beloved Rrothcr."


The services of the "Shoreville Her
ald," however, were not required to
spread the news. The happiest and
proudest couple on Long Island saw
their names with the story of their
sudden accession to wealth in a great
New York daily the very next morn
ting.
A tall. old gentleman with a real

high hat. suit of store clothes"
which fitted as II they had been made
for him, a pair Of fur gloves, and brand
new ten-dollar boots; and a remark.
ably pretty, old lady in violet bonnet,
a long black velvet cape, with new
shoes as we'll as new kid gloves, and a
big silver-fox muff-this was the
couple that found the paper spread out
on the hall table at the Old Ladies'
Home. with the sisters gathered
around 1t. 2eering at 1t. weeping over
1t. laughing. both sorrowing and re-
1oicing.
This II be good-by ter Brother
Abe" Aunt Nancy had shifted when
the news came over the telephone the
day before; and though Miss Abigail
had assured her that she knew Abe
would come to see them real often, the
matriarch still failed to be consoled.
"Hain't you noticed. gals" she per-
sisted. that thar hain't been death

or even a tame chicken that it didn't

Naow, mark my words!"
Then followed a consultation among
the younger sisters. the result Of which
was that they met Abe in the morning
with unanimous petition. They could
neither ask nor expect him to remain;
that was impossible, but

Spoiled the Lecture.

An amusing incident happened re-
Gently in school in the north of Eng
land The master was lecturing his
class of boys on smoking and the
evils attending it.
Suddenly he saw grin overspread-
ing the faces of his scholars, and on
inquiring the cause an innocent-look-
ing cherub yelled out:
Please sir, yer pipes sticking out
of yer pocket"
The smoking lecture was abruptly
brougt to close.

IDLE BARRIERS TO
Be GIVEN PLACES
Examining Board and Employ
ment Agencies to Cooperate
Toward That End.

Thomas Casey, member OF the state
board of barber examiners. who has
/ Just returned from 4 trip to Chicago.
| Springfield and other cities in connec-
/ ton with his official work. today
makes an announcement OF an impor-
tant plan which has been worked out
which aims TO give every licensed bar
Der a job.
In referring TO it Mr.. Casey says:
The Illinois state free employment
Offices and the Illinois state board of
barber examiners have joined in an
effort to give all licensed BARRIERS
job None but licensed BARRIERS are
allowed TO practice in this state To
secure this right they must prove
they are competent. The BARRIERS
board has in its files n record of all
BARRIERS practicing in this state, which
is furnished to the Illinois state free
employment Offices when they secure
a barber a position. Boss BARRIERS who
secure help through the state employ
ment offices are thus assured they are
not hiring an incompetent man or a
non-licensed barber. for which they
are subject TO arrest and fine; and.
last, but not least, that the man whom
they are hiring has not been charged
an enormous price by some paid
agency for the JOB, when he has been
out of work and needs the money
This week the BARRIERS board has
secured the assistance of the entire /
police force of Chicago. and other cit +
les. TO insure the licensed and boss
BARRIERS against the possibility of their I

"All boss BARRIERS who find them
