~ Mr.. Townbred knows it now
bat he did not the other week. Also,
he is at present of the opinion that
4 few cents overcharge on groceries
is not II matter of moment. And
thereby, of course, hangs a tale.
In several respects the Townbreds
were most favorably situated at Five
oaks; and one of tho greatest, per
haps, was the matter of supplies.
They Obtained them almost as easily
despite tho roads and weather-as
though they lived in tho city.

for groceries, meats, kitchen sundries
and even small quantities of feed for
the stock. Then. sometime during the
afternoon. he would return with the
desired articles.
This was most convenient. Butt
WAS expensive. for the grocer. being
qui' - human, charged Il trife more
for his goods because of the really
excellent delivery service he gave his
customers.
Maybe IL was simply because Mr..
Townbred happened to be in a bad
humor; or maybe he was cold and
tired from his long ride home in the
trolley; but in all probability it was
because he happened TO sec the
months grocery bill lying face up on
the living room table. At all events,
whatever the cause, he took occasion
one evening the other week to find
fault with the way Mrs. Townbred
was purchasing her household sup
plies
The bill was outrageous, Why, It
was easily three dollars more a month
than their grocery bill had averaged
when they lived in tho city!
Mrs. Townbred admitted il; but she
explained the grocers convenient sys-

well worth the additional charge con.
sidering the fact that, otherwise
every time she wanted sometime

three extra dollars had gone for emer

But Mr.. Townbred wasn't in tn,
