gasped! My husband was willing to take
in three very old people whom he had
never seen, and work that much harder.
And already he had sacrificed much,
struggled much, for my sake
But what could do? 1t was not to be
thought of to let those old people go to
the poorhouse, yet there was nothing else
to be done unless they came to us.
Three weeks later they arrived with all
their belongings, and two of them are
still with us. One sister died after long
sickness.
My husband kept hopefully on, but it
was getting into cold weather by this
time and work grew scarce. How we
ever pulled through that winter | do not

The East and its ways were closed book
to him. In less than month after we
were married | realized my great mistake
and his sacrifice.
All too rapidly our little nest-egg was
disappearing. 1t seemed impossible for
him to get work of any sort that would
bring in enough for our support. A
dozen things that he could have turned
his hand to in the West were not possible
here.
He said he believed he could succeed
in forestry if he could get start. He had
lived and grown up among the big trees of
the West; as young lad had been in the
lumber camps and there had learned trees
as few learn them. However, it would take
time to enter this field. What was to be
done while he was establishing himself?
Believing that had done him a great
injury by insisting on his coming East,
l told him that | would do all | could,
and for him to make a start, for L felt
sure we would get along some way.
With our last fifty dollars we took
house in a good neighborhood, and, as we
did not have much furniture, advertised

vertised, and in that way secured enough
orders to do small bits of upholstering
and covering of pillows, ETC., to pay my
running expenses. When the work was
beyond my strength, my husband would
help ME when he came home at night.
Often we would work until two or three in
the morning to finish an order, and then he
would get up early to deliver the articles
before he began his own days work.
1t was not very long before he came
home with his first contract. The owner
of house wanted the trees on her lawn
trimmed and the dead wood taken out.
She would pay twelve dollars for the work.
But to do this work a saw and pruners
would be needed, and such things cost
money. There was nothing to do but to
confde our predicament to the widow

vance some rent money. | went to her,
and she was just as nice about it as she
could be. OF course she would. So the
saw and pruners were bought, and two
days later the work was satisfactorily fin
ished and my husband brought home the
twelve dollars. 1t looked like a gold
mine to us. ,ta
He continued to get work, and his work
was good, so he was recommended from
one to another. He began to make
money, and it looked as if daylight were
coming at last. .N.
Then the unexpected happened. :. An

of years we moved to one of the city subY

estate business. '
We were getting along nicely, my hus-
band attending to the outside business,
and jim, a local young man and law stu
dent, acting as Office assistant.
Then boom hit the village. A mu-
nitions plant was established on the out
skirts, and land scared. My husband had
got wind of the project early, and had
taken ninety-day option on a desirable
piece of ground. Things seemed coming
cold. The munitions plant offered big
wages, and Jim couldn't resist.
Losing Jim at that critical time was in
deed heavy blow. Time was precious,
and my husband couldn't get another
man. The factory gobbled them up as
fast as they came. He was in despair.
There is where l arose to the occasion.
My year in law school had not been in
vain. l knew something about deeds,
notes, mortgages, acknowledgements, ETC.,
and told my husband would be Office as

insisted, and finally induced him to let me
try it, at least.
