rug WAY 70 GET FACTORIES.

u 7, Waterman and w. 7. HarpaJ
called attention the other evening az
the Commercial ASSOCIATION rooms, 10
the new idea pervadins the country as
n the proper way to go about getting
factories and industrial institutions.
In the past, nearly Ill live cities
raised funds to offer bonuses or nuy
sites for any factories that they c"ulo
induce to come their way. The re-
suits were not very coed bee ause there
are very few really desirable rae
tories that consider only the matter
IF bonus or free site when contempiat-
ING change. In fact the best fsc-
tories are the least likely to move
unless their own business interests
compel them to do so.
Both Mr.. Waterman and" Mr.. Harper
stated that the new plan is to make
the city, ITSELF the attraction rather
than the bonus or free s1te
The capable captain of industry
they said, looks at the CITY to discover
whether it is good place to i've
whether business and industrial cono'-
tons there are good, Whetner the'e
are clean streets and clean alleys, gooo
fire protection and sane laws, poi'ce
nrotection and good morals, pupllc
marks and wholesome places of amuse.
ment, enterprising citizenship aao
civic harmony When these things
are available, the bon lis or free sic
is no attraction at all, according to
the speakers. .,
And a study of various cities
through the country shows that they
are correct. Those cities which m
stituted "booms' by means OF bonuses
and free sites. have long since ceased
to boom, while those that began on
the inside, are still growing end
prospecting. ..-

FIRE is MEANS OF
PUTTING ITSELF OUT

Rockwell City, Feb. %. Escaping
steam, brought about in an unusual
way, saved the home of J. IL. Walters
of this city from destruction by tire.
The family had gone away from holrr,
leaving an oil stove burning in the
cellar to thaw out frozen wafer
faucet. The stove exploded and sat
fire to the building and at the salGc
time the faucet was melted from the
hot water tank, letting the steam
escape. The steam held the blaze in
check.
In the home of Jacob Wilshusan
one of the boys was awakened Dy q
fire which was blazing melrily in his
bed clothing. The lad awoke the
rest of the family and they escaped,
but saved nothing but violin and a
parrot.

AND at once he did feel at home. He felt
4 at home just because Sally Winthrop
was somewhere in the same house. That
was the secret of it. He had felt at home
in the station as soon as she appeared; he
had felt at home in the village because she
had walked by his side; and now he felt
at home here. And by that he meant that
he felt very free and very happy and very
much part Of any section Of the world
she might happen to be in. 1t had been so
in New York, and it was so here.
He was downstairs again in five min
utes, looking for Sally Winthrop. 1t
seemed that Mrs. Halliday's chief con-
Germ now was about supper, and that
Sally was out in the kitchen helping her.
He found that out by walking in upon
her and finding her in blue gingham
apron. Her cheeks turned very red and
she hurriedly removed the apron.
"Don't let me disturb you," he pro-
tested.
That was very easy to say, but he did

She knew no better than her cousin what
had brought him here; but, now that he
was here, it was certain that she must take
care of him. She could not allow him to
wander homelessly around the village or
permit him to camp out like gypsy. 1t
did not occur to her to reason that this
predicament was wholly his fault. All
the old feeling of responsibility came back.
AS they walked side by side down the
street, he was amazed to see how much
good even these two days in the country
had done her. There was more color in
her cheeks and more life in her walk. She
was wearing MILDLY blouse, and that
made her look five years younger.
She looked up at him.
"I-I thought you had something very
important to do in these next few days."
she reminded him.
II have" he answered.
aThen--I don't understand how you
came here.
On the train it had seemed to him that
he must explain within the first five
minutes; but, now that she was actually
within sound of his voice, actually within
reach, there seemed to be no hurry. In
her presence his confidence increased with
every passing minute. For one thing, he
could argue with her, and whenever in the
past he had argued with her he had sue
ceeded.
"I needed you to explain certain things
to me-" he replied
She looked away from him.
about WHAT" she asked quickly.
"About getting me married.
"Oh!" she exclaimed.
He could not tell what she meant by
the little cry. He would have asked her
had they not at that moment turned into

garden to a small white cottage.

Mrs. Halliday" she said.
So she left him upon the doorstep, and
he took off his hat to the cool, pine-laden
breeze that came from mountain in the
distance. He liked this town at once. He
like the elm-lined village street, and the
snug white houses, and the quiet and con-
tent of it. Then he found himself being
introduced rather jerkily to Mrs. Halliday

inspection of this stranger she was willing
to accept him with much less suspicion
than Miss Winthrop.
"I told Sally this morning, when
spilled the sugar, that stranger was
coming" she exclaimed. "Now you come
right upstairs. reckon you'll want to
wash up after that long ride"
"lt's mighty good Of you to take me
in this way" he said.
"Laws sake, what's spare room for?"
She led the way to small room with
white curtains at the windows and rag
rugs upon the floor and big silk crazy
quilt on an old four-poster bed. She hur-
ried about and found soap and towels for
him, and left him with the hope that he
would make himself at home.
AND at once he did feel at home. He felt
at home just because Sally Winthrop
was somewhere in the same house. That
was the secret of it. He had felt at home
in the station as soon as she appeared; he

to greet him, and they revealed but an
Indifferent interest. He approached one
of them.
aCan you tell me where Miss Winthrop
is stopping?"
The man looked blank.
"No one of that name in this town." he
finally answered.
"Isn't this Brenton?"
"It's Brenton, right enough"
"Then she's here," declared Don.
as she visitin'?" inquired the man.
Don nodded.
"a cousin, or something"
A second man spoke up:
Saint she the one who's stopping with
Mrs. Halliday"
Rather slight, with brown eyes," vol
unteered Don.
Dunno the color of her eyes," an
swered the first man, with wink at the
second. "But thar's some one stoppin'
thar Been here couple days or So"
"That's she," Don decided.
He drew dollar bill from his pocket.
II want one of you to take a note to
her from me-"
He wrote on the back of card:
I'm at the station. i must see you at once.
Don.
"Take that to her right away and
bring me an answer" he ordered.
The man took both bill and card and
disappeared
TT was an extremely frightened girl that
within five minutes appeared upon the
station platform. She was quite out of
breath, for she had been running. AS he
came toward her with outstretched hands,
she stared at him from head to foot, as
if to make sure he was not minus an arm
or leg.
wont you even shake hands with
me?" he asked anxiously.
@You-you gave me such fright" she
painted.
"How?"

been run over"
He seemed rather pleased.
"And you cared?" he asked eagerly.
She was fast recovering herself now.
@Well, it wouldn't be unnatural to care,
would it, if you expected to find friend

OF course he wouldn't choose to be
corpse, because he would not have been
able to enjoy the situation; but, on the
whole, he was sorry that he did not have
mangled hand or something to show.
Evidently his whole hand did not interest
her-she had not yet offered to take it.
"How in the world did you get here?"
she demanded.

"But-has anything happened?"
aLots of things have happened, he said.
aThat's what want to tell you about"
He looked around. His messenger was
taking an eager interest in the situation.
"That's why came to see you" he ex-
planned. "Of course, if it's necessary to
confde also in your neighbor over there,
I'll do it; but l thought that perhaps
you could suggest some less public place"
She appeared frightened in different
sort of way now.
