definite proposal TO stephen. IL was
briefly that, while not consenting to
the latter's leaving college, he did con.
sider that a trial Of the work In .
brokers Office might be good thing.
Therefore II the young man wished he
could enter the employ of friend Of
Sylvester and remain during July and
August. @
The novel, the wonderful tale which
Captain Elisha was certain would
make its author famous, was finished
that very day In June when Stephen
came back from New Haven.
The advance copy. the first one, was
ready early In September, and the au-
thor, Of course, brought 1t Immediately
to his friends. They found the dedica.
ton especially interesting, ITO @. w.
and r. W., consulting specialists at
the literary clinics, with grateful ac-
acknowledgements" Probably Captain
Elisha was never prouder Of anything,
even his first command, than Of that
dedication.
And the story, when at last 1t appear
ed for sale, was almost from the be-
ginning a success, and, most important
of all perhaps. it sold and continued to
sell. There was something in 1t, Its
humanity, It's simplicity, its clearly
marked characters, which made hit.
Pearson no longer needed to seek pub.
fishers; they sought him. His short
stories we're bid for by the magazines,
and his prices climbed and climbed.
He found himself suddenly planted in
the middle Of the highway to prosper
ity.
The novel being out Of the way and
its successor not yet far enough ad-
vanced in plot or general plan for'much
discussion, the ''literary clinics" were
no longer as frequent. But ,Pearson's
visits to the Warren house were not
discontinued. All summer long he had
been coming out once and usually twice
a week. Captain Elisha had told him
not to stand ON Formally, to come any
time, and he did. On most Of these
occasions no found the captain at
home, but If only Caroline was there
he seemed quite contented. The cap.
tain was planning glorious Thanks
giving. At least 1t would be glorious
to him, for he intended spending the
day and several days at his own home
In South Denboro. He would not leave
Caroline, Of course; she was going with
him. Steve would be there, though he
would not come until Thanksgiving
day itself. Sylvester also would be OF
the party. He seemed delighted at the
opportunity. Pearson was asked and
had accepted. His going was SO far a
settled thing that he had commissioned
Captain Elisha to purchase stateroom
for him on the Fall river boat, for, of
course, the captain would not consider
their travelling the entire distance by
train. A day or two later Pearson an.
nounced that he had decided not to
60
"HeyT Captain Elisha could scarce
" believe he had heard correctly. "You
can't go-to South Denboro?"
mo"
''Why not. for tho land sakes? Come
here! Let me look at you"
Z He took the young man by the arm
and led him, almost by main strength,
close to the lighted window Of the sta
ton.

The change from outdoor activity Of
vacation time to the quiet of regular
employment sometimes makes one feel
heavy and stuffed up uncomfortable

nervous unrest and thickly coated

"a vacation does no good" it Is better
to remove the trouble, which usually
is the result OF indigestion. Foley Ca

Work OF 4. w. W.

Huron.-That pro-German destruc-
tive activities have been resumed in
South Dakota is indicated, in the opin-
ion OF some Of the state authorities.
by the discovery of evidence tending
to show that the destruction Of the Nc.
Weeny livery barn in Huron was
caused by German agents. probably
members OF the "hell-fre" gang of
the l. w. w. Thirty-fve horses were
burned to death, the total financial
loss reaching $1,000. The barn is said
to have been the assembling place for
horses for the artillery and other mill
tary service OF the United States and
its allies. 1t is recalled that the Jeb-
sen livery barn at Mitchell, also an
assembling place for horses for war
use. was destroyed some weeks z by
a fire which afterward was demon
strated to have been of incendiary orr
gin. The phosphorus in the case of
the Mitchell fire Is supposed to have
beer placed by an unknown man, who
asked permission to sleep in the barn
the night it was burned. This man
dropped completely out of sight after
the fire.
