Joel added, with the gratified smile of
o business man who contemplates the
troubles of another business man. "He'd
better get on to his job"
Starr got up and showed his hands deep
Into his pockets. He walked to the win
dow Of his room in the Commercial House
reaectively. Then he took resolution.
and strobe across the room to push but
ton and jammed his thumb against it.
A boy came to the door and knocked.
Starr told him: "Bring Tinker in now."
A few moments later Joe entered.
"Howdy, Mr.. Tibb? Howdy, Mr..
Starr?" he saluted. Kind of nasty
weather, amt it?"
Mr.. Tibb made no sound. Starr said
briefly: "Sit down.
Joe took the seat that was indicated.
"Now, Tinker, began Starr in a serious
tone, "the time has come for you to make
good. We've done the right thing by you;
you haven't seemed to appreciate it, but
we'll forget that for the present"
II didn't mean for to take anything
that didn't belong to me-" began Joe.
II didn't mean for to scare the ladies,
either. 1t warn't my fault. I"
"Let that 60" interrupted Starr. "Tin-
ker, you worked up at Mudge's during-a
certain important period. Now, what
we want of you is the whole story. Here's
cigar. Take your time and give us the
whole story. Tell the truth"
Mr.. Tinker gave few convulsive shud-
ders and then exclaimed:
am afraid, Mr.. Starr!"
Afraid Of WHAT"
at might make trouble. He's in town
now."
"If you mean Nudge" said Starr, "you
needn't be afraid of him. I'll see that you
don't get into trouble. Go on, now.'
RUT Joe Tinker gave evidence of being
really alarmed.
"You don't know the old codger," he
muttered. "He's got an arm that reaches
from here to Frisco. wouldn't be safe
from him, no matter where I was. You
couldn't save me. Nobody could"
Starr glanced at Joel Tibb.
"You see," he whispered to Joel. II
was right. He knows something. Go on,
Tinker. Out with it'll"
Joe Tinker rose from his chair.
"Let me go, Mr.. Starr" he pleaded.
aI'll get right out of town. won't make
you any more trouble. I don't want to
make trouble for nobody. And / don't
want to get into trouble myself"
Answer me this question, Tinker"
said Starr, at the same time pressing Joe
back into his chair. "You know what
constitutes a criminal offense. Is it any
thing like that?"
II don't know anything about law"
parried Joe. II know rich folks can do
what poor folks can't get away with. I
know my word wouldn't be no good
against man like him."
Again Starr turned to Joel and winked.
Joel was open-mouthed.
aWhy don't you tell it, ye fool, if you've
got anything to tell?" he shot at Joe "N1r.
Starr told you he'd look out for you."
@If I could have few more days."
pleaded Joe. 3Just till Monday. There

make any difference what time we get in"
THE weather had cleared in the after
noon of Saturday, and the Boxton mer-
chants took long, relieved breaths. For
Saturday night is vital to the business
enterprises of country town.
And yet, on this Saturday night there
was a noticeable difference. The idling,
holiday spirit was even more apparent
than usual, but behind the counters in
the stores the clerks waited in vain for
custom.
"Dud' Gillette dropped in at Mr.. Ed
monds' jewelry store, wearing cynical
smile.
Not much doing, eh?" he sneered.
"Pretty quiet was the dull answer.
II guess we ought to have another car
nival next week, eh?"
"What dye mean?" asked the jeweler.
"So's the fakirs can take the rest of the
money that's left in town." replied Dud.
Il s'pose they left little behind
Mr.. Edmonds scratched his head.
"D'ye think" he began.
"Do l Think" was the scornful inter-
ruption. II don't think: 1 know. So do
you. You can't spend money and have
it, too
With diabolical pleasure, in spite of the
fact that he was hit as hard as any of
them, Dud Gillette went to several other
merchants. He left each one of them with
an impression that the carnival plans had
somehow failed to take everything into
account.
OF all the merchants, Walter Eadbrook
was probably the least perturbed
about lack of trade. For one thing, he
had too many other things to think of.
And then, he felt an unwonted sense of
importance and expansiveness because,
as treasurer of the Association, he had
paid out so much money that day. While
he was settling the bills of the Associa-
ton, it seemed to him almost as if he were
engaged in 3big" business Of his own. He
had made plans to take the rest of the
Association money, together with his own,
down to bank in Springhaven, twenty
miles away, the first thing Monday.
A little before ten o'clock two customers
struggled in. Neither of them paid cash
for the goods.
4Will next Saturday be all right?"
asked one Of them sheepishly. And then
he added, with grin: "We've been cele-
brating this week, you know
Eyes," replied Eadbrook thoughtfully,
II know. Next Saturday'll be all right, I
suppose. But I make it rule to do a
strictly cash business, remember. This
particular week is an exception, though.
/ realize how it is"
At ten o'clock Eadbrook told his young
clerk, Henry, that he could go.
1t was the poorest Saturday nights
business the shoe dealer could remember
since he'd had the store.
Eadbrook sat down at the desk, pulled
out a lower drawer to put his feet on, and
lighted a cigar. His thoughts reverted to
the events Of the past week, and, taking
them as nearly in their chronological order
as he could reconstruct them, he had just
about reached Sehorita Catorno when
the door opened and young woman en-
tered. 1t was the sehorita herself.
She came toward Eadbrook quickly,
her face set firmly against emotion. He
observed first that her eyes were red. She
held two two-dollar bills in her hand, and

Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well al
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions Of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face Of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How we're these burdensome store bills
cut DOWN. By the real money-saving
