'I'n get event" Kissed Bruce Mar
tin malevOlentIy, and it was a wicked
hope and based on a worse impulse.
The best man won, eh, Martin? ?"
sneered a voice of deTision at the ell
bow of the first speaker, and Martin
snarled out:
81 haven't lost, all the same!"
His friend stared WOnderingly
after him as Martin turned on his
heel, trying to guess out the hidden
meaning of these words. The man
who had left him was a smoIdering
volcano of wrath. For the time be-
ing at least he was a fiend incarnate.
Bruce Martin and Arthur Morse
were half cousins. The former had
always been the more fortunate. He
was the spoiled, reckless son of a
doting mother, who left him quite a
fortune. Then when her sister died
he was the principal heir to her
bonds and mortgages. Morse was
also remembered by this aunt, but
in a minor way. Lyndon Barrens
was a rough 200-acre strip of land
and she divided it equally between
the two relatives.
Bruce Martin never even went to
look at the bleak patch of waste
land. Morse did. The prospect was
not inviting. His 100 acres had
tUmble-down house on it, gone to
rack and ruin. He realized that he
could expect little return from this
wTetched heritage.
But his heart was light and his
hopes high. He had neither houses
nor lands, but he had something bet
ter, the love of a true woman. Bruce
Martin had been his rival for the
hand of sweet, winsome Ethel Tyler. |

Il has only recently been observed
that the efficiency of the flow of water
In a city's main is very much restrict

pipe became so clogged that press.

There are several mechanical means
