swinging seat with Miss Marjorie.
Come on, Pole" SD Marjorie,
moving over. There's always room
for one more"
Indeed there's not" declared Billy,
moving squarely into the center of the
remaining space. go away, Pole
Smith, I'm making love"
Napoleon regarded him for mo
ment with tolerant humor.
"All right, Billy" he agreed.
where's your father, Margie?"
Hes in the library" she replied,
laughing as he had done, at Billy
Peters drawing avowal
AS he walked away, Marjorie looked
after his tall figure with appreciation.
Isn't he a certainly fellow? she
observed.
Declared irregular" announced
Billy cheerfully. Against the rules
to ask any smitten swain to praise
the deadly rival"
Billy, Billy" she laughed. Don't
you ever think Of anything serious?"
In the meantime, Napoleon sought
the library where Captain Hammond,
then porting over his plans for the ex-
tension of the Eureka Iron mills,
arose instantly with a smile of pleas
ure and extended his hand.
well, Pole" he said, you got
away from me-"
II couldn't wait" explained Pole.
How do you like your new placer"

have a good quarrel upon the matter
of pay"
"I'll take you," said Napoleon, with
an alacrity which almost startled the
older man.
Come in and meet Mr.. Spencer"
he said, grimly.
So it came about that Napoleon
Smith was put out in Sunnyview and
began the herculean task of selling
building lots to prospective home
seekers. The first week he was we'll
nigh discouraged, for, in spite of all
his engaging efforts and his pleasing
personality, and even despite his grin,
the flock of people attracted by the
Forsythe and Spencer advertising
came and looked at the appalling for
sakenness of the place and went
away; and by Saturday noon he had
only sold eight lots.
What do you think of that Smith
boy?" said Forsythe, rubbing his
bloodless old hands together. He
sold eight of those Sunnyview stick
ers. It's record for that type of
place"
Keep him out there" advised Mr.
Spencer sagely. And tell him he'll
have to do better If he's going to stay
with u.s."
A hint to that effect on the follow
ing Tuesday, however, set Napoleon,
heretofore humble, upon his defense.
Pm doing the best l can, and hope
to do better" he declared. What
ought my sales to reach?'
"Well-um-not less than Is lots"
stated Forsythe.
The younger man was silent for a
moment, looking into the beady little
wrinkled eyes Of his employer.
How much profit do you make on
those lots?" he suddenly asked.
Mr.. Forsythe visibly WINGED.
"Profits!" he exclaimed. "Um-you
until we're all through on account
Of advertising expenses, cost of sell
ing, and other items, to say nothing
of the heavy investment in the site"
The famous grin sprang into instant
illumination, and scared the astute
Mr.. Forsythe nearly into heart dis
ease.
YES" said the owner of the grin
with calm joy, 81 met the former pro-
prietor of that land out at Sunnyview
just yesterday, and he told me your
exact investment. l think, Mr.. For
sythe, that on Saturday night l am
going to have more salary than have
mentioned; or else l may go on a
commission basis"
Napoleon walked up on the moonlit
Hammond porch and found Billy

and the call proved to be for young
Smith.
For whom was the CALI" asked
Marjorie.
For me, of COURSE" declared Billy
Peters. "I'll gamble it was some one
of the girls calling me up"
mo-" said Napoleon abstractedly,
thinking upon other matters so deeply
that he had no time to reply to Billy
Peters in his own banter. Its from
June. She wants me to come down
and get her"
Just what l told YOU" said Billy
triumphantly 81 wish your sister
would quit following me around, You
ought to speak to her about It, Pole.
But never mind; you stay here, and
I'll go ahead. You may try to make
love to Margie while / am gone"
Trying to make love to Margie is
rather a bromide" said Napoleon.
Everybody has the same idea" New
ertheless, he sat down most comfort
ably and contentedly by Marjorie's
side, and allowed Billy Peters to stroll
negligently after his sister
Hammondville consisted of a sta
ton and three streets of well-popu-
lated workmen's cottages. Beyond,
reached by wagon road and spur
track, was the Eureka plant, a low
lying collection of brick buildings
which sprawled in every direction. To
the front was sand ridge; to the
rear. the sound; to the east, stretch

went on the captain, offering him a
cigar.
"Oh. it's interesting, though I'm not
sure I'd like II for a life occupation.
It's wonderful how much business can
be done on a small amount of ready
money. l find Forsythe and Spencer
are swinging that whole Sunnyview
deal on an initial cash payment of
thousand dollars, mortgage notes for
the balance They do a big business
in options, too, I've found, and they
make dollar go farther than I'd ever
dreamed 1t could reach"
You've only known the spending
dollars" returned the captain with a
smile. "A single, ordinary, spending
dollar is of no more use than a safety
razor at colored picnic, but bust
ness dollar has no time for foolish
ness. I'd like to see you succeed,
Smith. To do that you've got to ap-
pteciate that there's no sentiment or
friendship in business. If there is, the
business fails. Remember that, will

I'm not likely to forget it," replied
Napoleon seriously. at was because
of such lovable weaknesses that my
father failed"
YES" admitted the captain. Your
father always was sentimentalist,
and he lost many good opportunity
through 1t. The sooner you get out of
your head, young man, that money
has any emotions, the better off you'll
be-"
Il see," said Napoleon dryly.
THE quicker you see, the better"
insisted the captain, dwelling upon
the subject SO strongly that one might
think he had really almost need to de-
fend himself. where would / have

siderations? AS it is, built the Eu-
reka iron mills out of nothing-a lit
tie bit of a 16 by 20 shop where we
made plain castings-to its present
20-acre spread. Not only that, but we
must have more room, large additions,
too, right away"
Where is your plant?" asked young
Smith with growing interest.
"Out on the Cedarpong division Of
the L. & l., at Hammondville."
"Hammondville! Why, l pass the
Hammondville station every day on
my way to the Sunnyview addition,
but l never noticed your plant"

sionary centenary conference of the
southwestern groupe of bishops, pre-

TO DEAL WITH
PROFITEERS
IN FUEL

New Orleans, Oct. 3.-An idea Of
how the Government intends to deal
with profiteering wood and coal deal
ers may be CLEANED from the follow
ing bulletin received by the Fuel
Administrator for Louisiana:
THE U. s. Fuel Administrator to-
day suspended for sixty days the IL
cense as coal distributor Of w. H.
Blight, of 100 First Street, Elm,ra,
New York. From September % to
November % this distributor Il coal
is absolutely prohibited from trans
acting business.
''In this particular case it was
found that the offender wrote on
July 8th q letter to prospective Gus
toners suggesting that he could set
them what coal they needed II they
would pay him an additional twea'y-
five cents a ton. No evidence was
found that the deals proposed by
the offending distributor were CON-
summated so that instead OF absolute
revocation of license 1t was felt that
| a sixty day suspension was 6umc1ent
penalty"
The Fuel Administration is de-
| termineds to stamp out, SO far "a
possible, all profiteering on the price
of coal. Distributors who are found
guilty of obtaining or attempting ia
obtain prices in excess of that pro-
vided by the Government are being
dealt with severely.
Notice is hereby given to sh6N
cause, if amy they have or can, VIII,
the prayer Of said petitioner shoult
not be granted.

Our Situation.
The situation which the United

Sugar supplies throughout the eou''-

Production Of American beet and
