formed pool to try to get control of all
the ice companies and make big merger.
Cosmopolitan's the biggest, and that'n be
the hardest to get. They have to buy the
stock in the open market, of course, and
that steady buying is going to shoot that
stock right up to par. It's only around

"But if it's so good that they want to
own it." she asked, "why isn't it worth
more than 4O?"
4That's what happen to know
they're paying SO much interest on their
bonds-the very bonds I've been trying
to sell-that their earnings are just
enough to pay two per cent. on the COM
mon stock. Well-can you imagine what
I'm going to do with my five thousand?"
"But, Arthur-suppose you're mis-
taken!"
"It's this way" he told her. "a tip is

But this is different That man doesn't

"And-do you think it's right for us to
take advantage of man who's helpless

"Why not? I'm not going to take any

Miss Calder looked serious.
"You wouldn't want to spend the
money he gave you for-housekeeping?"
Arthur shook his head. aThat wouldn't
be decent-after what he said"
Somehow, l don't think it's question
Of decency."
IL do. And on the other hand, I
couldn't ask you to wait ten years.
Her eyes confessed the pity she felt for
him.
Its going to be pretty hard for you,
isn't it? To put your real ambition out
of sight-probably forever"
"That's a question. OF course study
ing law was an ambition-but, after all,
you're bigger one. I'd do almost any
thing respectable to have an income"
"If my people could only help you'll" she
mourned.
"I wouldn't let en-" said Arthur II

doesn't believe in endowing me simply be-

what I'm worth; but I've got to work,
anyway. So-that's that!"
at seems Incredible" said the girl,
wide-eyed, "that any man with son
could be so-blind as that! He ought to
be proud to have you want to get out of
Wall Street! He ought to be wonderfully
happy to help you do what you aoant to
do"
"But-he says there's no money in law
except for one man in thousand"
"Money"
"Well," said Arthur cheerfully, "we're
pretty nearly proving his case right now.

he wants-or l can't have you. He's
wrong-but he's right. When went out
of the office, he said he hoped my good
luck was just beginning"
81 hope so, too,' said Miss Calder.
"But-"
"Oh, you never can tell"
"I was only thinking you're not the
kind of man to solicit business from house
to house, or from Office to office-you're
not that kind at all. You couldn't do it
before-you may not be able to do it now,
even when it means so much more to you.
And if you shouldn't please your father"
He shrugged his shoulders.
81 give it up; don't know the an
swer."
., Unfortunately, we've got to have some
thing"
"I'll have five thousand dollars"
"But you said you wouldn't use that!"
"As last resource I'd use it-but not
as the first. If have to, I'll use it fast
enough. Or if could make it grow,
might use it. Because don't think we
can 30 on like this much longer. 1t isn't
fair TO either of us. Two months, or
three"
She held out her hand impulsively; it
was warm and reassuring in his clasp.
4Just as soon as you're sure of the bread
and cheese she said, an be ready. Go
back with your father. Try! You never
can tell! Perhaps your luck has begun"
And, when he left her, his mood was so
exalted that he scurried across Madison
Avenue on the clouds without looking to
the traffic in either direction, without re-
motely concerning himself with things
mundane-and a post-office truck was
there to demonstrate the physical axiom
that two bodies can't occupy the same
space at the same time. They took him
to the General Hospital.

All of it-all there isl Go buy it, then!
Buy it for me! My credits good for it!
Corner the market! Buy all you can get |!
-Four points more-four more points, l
tell you! A hundred and one"
Then long silence, broken by the echo
Of hurrying feet on an uncarpeted floor.
SOME one sat down on the foot of
Arthur's bed. He presently made out
that it was red-cheeked young man in
white duck.
"Well," said this young man pleas
antly, shows it coming?'
Arthur's effort to sit up failed.
"Where-is it?"
General Hospital explained the in
terne. "You had little bout with a
motor-truck on Madison Avenue-and
you lost. Feel better now?"
"I-did l break anything?'
Nothing important He laughed in
fectiously. "To be strictly truthful, no.

you got fairly well shaken up, so we stored

"When was it?'
"Oh, an hour or so ago. You're Mr..
Holstead, aren't you? We notified your
office-expect some one from there any

From the adjoining room the voice of
the patient foated to Arthur's awakening

"No. Don't shut the window-please!

COUNTY BOARD MEETING

Every member of the Forest County
Board of Supervisors were in their
seats when the chairman, R. s. Elliott
of Laona, called to order Tuesday
morning. Three days were consumed
at this meeting.
After an exhaustive discussion re-
garding the bonding of the county for
road purposes, it was unanimously de-
cided to bond the county for $1,000
The prayers of County Treasurer
Luthey were answered by the board to
the extent of granting him clerk.
There is a vast amount of work in the
treasurer's office and to do it properly
more help is needed.
The auditors, who recently checked
up the books of the county officers, In
formed the board that they will not be
able to report for two weeks.
An independent heating plant was
ordered installed in the county Jail auc
sheriff residence. AS it is now, it is q
hard and expensive proposition to heat
both buildings from one plant, and it is
estimated that $500 per year in fue
can be saved by installing separate
plant in the Jail.
Thursday afternoon the board ad'
journed until February Is, 1871 Re

THANKSGIVING

From the time of the landing of the
Pilgrim Fathers, Americans have been
accustomed to set aside one day in the
year wherein to review the past year
and take stock of the dealings of Prov
idence with us as a people.
What was at first the spontaneous
expression of grateful hearts soon be-
came custom, and as the years sped
this custom became fixed, until today
! it assumes the sacredness of perma-
nent institution.
This season is again with US. The
fruits of the broad acres of our fair do
main have been garnered in. The ware
houses and graneries are fairly burst
i ing with their contents, and prosperity
sets a guest at almost every fireside
Our President and the goversors of
the various states have designated the
day on which the people shall express
to bonntiful Creator their gratitude
for these blessings.
And to the many positive and mater
ial blessings which have been ours,
there is added on this occasion the es-
pecial blessing that We, as people,
have escaped the madness that has fall
en- as blight upon our neighbors
and kinsman across the waters. The
magnitude of that blessing we cannot
at this time begin to estimate.
4 But while we have these palpable
blessings for which to be thankful, we
have other things fo express our graft
tude, and these antedate and underlie
our present hapr less and prosperity,
our peace and safety. We have to be
thankful that back in the days whenour
nation was born, land of heroes, than
whom the world has never produced
greater, had impressed upon their
hearts to lay the foundations of that
nation upon the only possible true and
and lasting base-the Fatherhood OF
an omnipotent God and the brother
hood of man.
And over and above all else, we have
to be thankful that merciful God has
so moulded the hearts and lives of the
people of this nation that we are en-
abled to look above and beyond sell
and see for ourselves the great princi'
Piles of eternal truth and justice that
must ultimately rule the whole earth
that we are enabled to grasp the truth
that an injury to ourselves, and that
kindness to our fellows calls down &
benedction upon our own heads.
So that the one sepreme blessing fol
which we should at this season return
thanks, is the fact that our God has
enabled us as a people to know and d'
the right.
And let our prayer be, that it may b'
thus with this people.
