fullest sense Of the word.
- II declare, Il has been pleasing
variation 10 the dull monotony OF ev-
eryday lIfeiv sighed Esther, when he
was gone.
She had not ceased to think Of Tay-
Tor; she did so now. she experienced
a secret resentment, however. at his
continued absence. Taylor was slow
going, methodlcal. He took the time II
required and deserved to close up his
business In the West.
"Ah, what a contrast to Boyden, with
hfs quick, dashing waysi Then, too,

Tor. his care only. for practical things.
whereas, Boyden had always some
animating details to discuss on those
subjects that attract and interest wom-
anlxind. He had dazzled Esther with
a description Of the dresses and dia-
monds belonging to his sister. Accord
ing to him, the life OF this relative was
In accord with the keenest social en-

at the shrine Of fashion. and Esther
was really eager to meet her,
There came a letter from the widow
that put Esther all a-ffutter. II was
written on the daintiest of stationery,

was signed with the name Of Boyden's
sister. In II Mrs. Walters referred to
the deep impression Esther had made
upon her brother. She thanked her for
ussuaging his loneliness at Acton. She
felt warranted, she expressed It, in
dining to cherish the acquaintanceship

she asked her to come down to Ross

of wayburn, and spend a few days
with her during the business absence
of her brother?
slow delightful exclaimed Esther,
upon the receipt of this missive.
"What a pleasant change from this
dreary existence 1t will be-" and at
once replied to the letter, receiving In
return directions as to time of her
arrival at Wayburn, where the auto
would meet her.
Esther arrived at Wayburn the next
afternoon. There was the automobile.
To her surprise, Boyden was at the
wheel. No sister was In view. He
was greeting Esther with profuse and
lying explanations, when two men
came up behind him. Each seized an
arm.

Of the men, and pair Of handouts
was clasped upon his wrists. The 9TH

into conversation. Shamefacedly, fal-
terIngly Esther stammered forth her
story.
"He's bad one, ma'am," said the
officer. "and you've had lucky es-

was. to lure you here, hold you pris-

desire for growth and improvement
without sacrificing Americas great
need for permanent homes.
For the lack Of homes is one of
Americas fundamental weaknesses.
1t goes hand In hand with our lack of
family pride, and this breeds inevita-
bly, lack of civic pride.
Community pride follows the love of
home as surely as fine growth follows
rich planting. And community pride
dies where there Is no community of
interests.
The great complaint against the
average suburban town is that 1t lacks
interest in itself. You can't get the
merchants and the townspeople to CO.
operate to any extent.
And the stores are poor and the sub
urban population is shifting and unre-
liable.
Doesn't this apply as well to the
towns given over to mail order buying?
Do you want your town. the town In
which you have started your home, to
thrive and improve? Well, II won't
thrive and improve unless the trades
people In your town are getting and
giving a fair deal. Mail order buying
turns your town into a suburb of
great city mail order house. 1t is TAX
ing out Of your town the life blood, the
circulation of which nourishes your
home as well as those Of your neigh
bors. It doesn't pay. That Is why I'm
glad The Delineator has excluded mail
order announcements from the adver-
Using columns. 1t has removed from
our readers homes a powerful tempta-
ton to buy away from home.
