Certainly" Hazel answered. But
what is the difficulty, Bill?"
"Bill is opposed to the whole plan,"
he said, pursuing up his lips with evil
dent disapproval of Bill Wagstaff and
all HIS works. HE seems to feel that
we should not have taken this step.
He declares that no more stock must
be sold; that there must be no enlarge.
ment of capital. In fact, that we
must peg along In the little one-horss
way we started. And that would be
q shame. We could make the Free
Gold Mining company the biggest
thing on the map. and put ourselves
on Easy street."
He spread his hands in a gesture Of
real regret.
"Bill's a fine fellow" he said. "and
one Of my best friends. But he's 3
hard man to do business with. He
takes a very peculiar view Of the mat
ter. I'm afraid he'll queer the COM
pany If he stlrs up trouble over this.
That's why I hope you'll use whatever
influence you have, to induce him to
withdraw his opposition"
But" Hazel murmured, In some per-
plexity, "from what little l know OF
corporations, / don't see how he can set
up any difficulty. How a he stop

torted, I'D take measures to be broke
as soon as possible"
"You're awful" Hazel commented.
Bill snorted again.
Tomorrow, you advise our hostess
that we're travelling" he instructed.
"When we come back wen make head
quarters at a hotel until we locate a
place Of our own-lf you are sure you
want to winter here"
Her mind was quite made up to
spend the winter there, and she frank
ly said s~o-provided he had no other
choice. They had to winter some
where.
"Oh, yes, I suppose so. All right;
wen winter here" Bill acQuiesced.
"That's settled"
And, as was his habit when he had
come to a similar conclusion, ne re-
fused to talk further on that subject,
but fell to specializing idly on New
York. In which he was presently
aided and abetted by Hazel, who had
never invaded Manhattan, nor, for that
matter, any Of the big Atlantic cities.
New York, she was constrained to
admit, rather overwhelmed her. She
traversed Broadway and other world
known arteries, and felt p trifie dubi-
GUS amid the unceaslng crush. BIZ
piloted her to famous cafes, and to
equally famous theaters. She MADE
sundry purchases in magnificent shops,
The huge conglomeratlon OF sights
and sounds made an u~nforgettable I'M
preston upon her. She sensed keenly
the colossal magnitude Of 1t all. But
she felt a distinct wave Of relief when
they were Granville bound once more.
In a week they were settled COM
fortably In a domicile Of their own
five rooms In an up-to-date apartment
house. And since the social demands
on Mrs. William Wagstaff's time grew
apace, q capable maid and a cook were
added to the Wagstaff establishment.
Thus she was relieved Of the onus OF
Homework. Her time was wholly her
own, at her own disposal or Bilrs, as
she elected.
But by im~perceptible degrees they
came to take diverse roads In the swirl
of life which had caught them up.
There were so many little woman az
fairs where q man was superfiuous.
There we're others which Bill fatty re-
fused to attend. "Hen parties" he
dubbed them. More and more he re-
manned at home with his books.
Sometimes Hazel caught herself
wondering II they were getting as
much out Of the holiday as they should
have gotten, as they had planned to
get when they were struggling through
that in~terminable winter. She was.
But not Bill. II she ventured to give
a tea, he fed the house as II from the
plague. He made acqualntances Of his

GROCERS WILL TAKE

Even Small Amounts Want.
ed; Will Be Sent to Men
in France.


Umatilla county grocers completed
plans yesterday for the taking back
of any amount of white flour their
customers will return. down to as low
as one pint. H. G. Blydenstein has
voluntarily offered to take all broken
lots to his feed and chop mill and re-
sack them free of charge.
After the flour is assembled and
enough is gotten for a shipment, it
given a sight draft on the state food
istration in Portland from where it
will be billed directly for France. In
some counties, it is said, there have
been as high as four and five carloads
uf flour returned.
In payment for the flour which
they bring back, customers will be
given a sight draft on the statee food
administration, the same price being
given as was paid for it. The fact
that a high price is being paid, and
that the people are called upon to re-
trrn even small amounts, is proof
that the wheat flour is badly needed
for the men in France, and all Uma-
tilla county people are urgently
called upon to answerthe appeal.
Each family should return the flour
to its own grocer.
