CHAPTER l.
Copyright, 1919, Star Company
TUGH RODNEY was in love
with Doris Courtney.
At least. he believed he
vas, and had believed it for some
time. Now that he was going away
from New York, where she lived, he
was sure that he cared more for her
than for any other girl.
AS he sat and watched her one
evening a week before his de-
parture he found himself afraid
to leave her without making open
declaration Of his love for her. She
vas so attractive some other man
night WOO and win her.
That was the way he put 1t to
himself while he seemed to listen
10 his young hostess merry talk.
Hugh Rodney's father. owned sew
eral large factories in various parts
# the country. He had taken Hugh
nto his office two years ago and
had gradually taught him the in
.ricacies OF the business. Hugh
proved himself such an apt pupil
hat his father had decided to send
lim out to Minneapolis to look after
The factory there.
You have good stuff in you, my
poy." Daniel Rodney had said. Il
I'M not entirely satisfied with the
way things are running in the
Western plant, and would like to
have you on the ground"
You want me to stay there?"
Hugh asked.
He rather hoped that this respon-
sibility might be his-yet at the
same time dreaded leaving New
York. For that city held the girl
ne loved.
II cannot say as to that" the
parent informed him. "If you make
good-that Is. II things run much
better under your eye-why, 1t may
be that / will make you manager
Of our branch at the West. That
would mean big thing for you
but I hesitate to keep you there
permanently; I would miss you"
"Oh. we'll. you have Laura" Hugh
reminded him, land she is through
college now-so is pretty sure to
stay right at home with you for
some time to come"
A Ranking Thought.
Yes, and Is a great comfort,
too" Daniel Rodney replied
Hugh was not wounded by the
knowledge that the father clung to
the daughter more than to his
son. Had Hugh's mother lived, she
would have needed him. But she
had been dead for two years.
Laura expressed regret at her
brothers proposed departure.
Il am sorry you are going away,
Hugh" she said frankly. 'T hoped
now that l was through college
you would take me to dances and
places like that But II you re-
mained here. / suppose you would
get engaged and married and be no
good to me-"
He may do that anyway" her
father smiled. II expect him to
make such a success of the busi-
ness in Minneapolis that he will be
able to take unto himself a wife
before long"
He laughed, but Hugh flushed.
IL he only might win the wife he
wanted!

Mabel C. and William A Lothrop. New

A simple. natural story-photo-
graphic in its detail and accuracy
of the everyday life and everyday
happenings in a country town Any
body who has ever lived in the coun-
try knows Judge" Peabody.
There is a Judge" Peabody in
every county in the Union-a plain
old lawyer who isn't a Judge at all,
but is accorded the title on account
of his advancing years-a sort of
judge emeritus-just as most old
men in Dixie, If they are dignihed
and respectable. eventually acquire
the title of Colonel"
And all through it runs a beauti-
full love story-the kind of a love
story that really happens; and in
the way that those things really do
happen. There isn't a forced or an
artificial note in the whole book.
Nobody ever knew country-town
boys any better than Mabel and
William A Lathrop-and very few
could tell about it, If they did. Un-
like many character studies, "The
Man That Never Grew Up" has a
strong story running through it-a
story that will holI one to the last

notice how many people ignorantly
mistreat and wrong the little ones.
As a traveller ] have recently been
making a sort OF inventory of the
violence thus done them With the
hope that the general public" may
be helped to correct some of these
wrongs, ] shall now illustrate
few of them by means of narrative.
A large crowd was rushing a
train at a big city station in the
usual scramble for seats. The five
small children and their mothers
were forced back and had to enter
last and take the cramped space
near the door. Seven people and
their baggage in two seats. lmme-
diately behind them sat two men
each in a double seat to himself,
but they yielded no space to the
young travellers.

For twelve minutes they were ls-

Laura started to echo this state

Hugh sat silent. His sisters sug.

Doris should forget all about him
and should become engaged to some

The idea haunted him until he
felt he must face it boldly. That
evening he went to call at the
Courtney home.
He did not ask for the two
young ladies, as was his custom.
