MAIL ORDER HOUSE BUYERS.

MAIL ORDER HOUSE BUYERS.
Country store merchants who hope
to combat the mail order houses very
often adopt the wrong kind of argu-
ment when an opportunity presents
itself to reason with this class of buy
ers. They will try to show the m. o.
purchaser the wrong Of patronizing
the mail order house by an appeal to
his loyalty for the home town, its
industries and its stores, and by whin-
ing that the home stores must go out
Of existence if the m. o. houses con-
tinue to sell goods in that Territory.
Unfortunately, however, the m. o.
buyer is proof against that kind of
argument. He can buy range or a
lamp better than Jones' store has"
Mt two or three dollars less. True he
doesn't know much about ranges or
lamps, but the catalogue says so and
so, and it must be confessed that the
ranges and lamps that Jones displays

The remedy lies in modern store
keeping and an intelligent compari-
son of prices and values. The mer-
chant who knows the goods he sells
can tear that catalogue argument to
pieces in a hurry if he has the stock
he should have. And it is on this
line he should argue-not on loyalty
to the home town. And he should
preach it through the town newspa-
pers.
OF course big class of mail or
der buyers, as every merchant knows,
are persons who have long since ex-
hausted their credit at all the stores
in their home towns, and now pay
cash-to the mail order concern. The

CHAPTER xI.

That summer Juanita's cabin rose
on the small patch of ground bought
from the Widow Everson. for In these
hills the raising of house is a simple
thing which goes forward subject to
no delays of striking workmenN or
baking contractors. The usual type,

in few days by volunteers who turn
their labor into a frolic. She had owed

while they had seemed to select at

Fletch McNash. and Jerry Everson
had gone over with her to survey and

CHAPTER XII.

One day in early October young

mists of autumn wrapped the forests
and brooded In the sky. An elixir

of quickened pulses the McBriar boy
halted and gazed at the Havey girl
Juanita saw Young Milts eyes fash
with an awakened spirit. She saw a
look in his face which she was woman
enough to interpret even before he
himself dreamed what It's meaning
might be.
Dawn was standing with her head
up and her lids half closed looking
across the valley to the Indian sum-
mer haze that slept in smoky purple
on the ridges. She wore a dress OF
red calico. and she had thrust In her
belt a few crimson leaves from a gum
tree and few yellow ones from a pop
lar.
Juanita Holland did not marvel at
the fascinated, almost rapt look that
came into Young Milt's eyes. and
Young Milt. too. as he stood there in
the autumn woods. was himself no
mean figure. His lean body was
quick OF movement and strong. and
his bronzed face wore the straight.

came unconsciously erect with some
thing OF the pride that shows in men
OF wild blood when they feel in their
veins the strain OF the chieftains.
But Dawn, after her first blush.
dropped her lids little and tilted her
chin. and without word snubbed him
with the air of Havey looking down
on a McBriar.
Milt met that gaze with steady
one of his own and banteringly said:

SO. as Juanita Holland and Good
Anse Talbot rode sweating mules
about the hills, receiving calls for help
faster than they could answer them.
they were not astonished to hear that
the widow was among the stricken.
Though they fought for her life. she
refused to fight herself. and once
again the Eastern girl stood with
Dawn In the brier-choked "buryin'-
ground" and once more across an open
grave she met the eyes of the man
who stood for the old order.
But now she had learned to set
lock on her lips and hold her counsel.
So. when she met Anse and Jeb after
ward. she asked without rancor: May
! take little Jesse back with me, too?
He's too young" she added. with Just
a heartsick trace of her old defiance,

head.

to be with Dawn and the widow. The
next day she went with them to the
