receive donations. She was real
charity worker, for she allowed no
body to pass her post in front Of q
large bank without verbally presenting
: her plea for the dependent little ones.
The young man appealed to did not
look very responsive, for his face was
serious and thoughtful. He paused in
an distracted way. Then the sweet,
smiling face transmitted a tightening
expression to his own. He uttered a
short laugh, somehow bitter and cyni-
ecal, yet there was certain jauntiness
to it. He drew from his pocket coin
with the words:
my last cent"
"Oh, mop impulsively exclaimed
Miss Eva Dutton, as she made out that
the contribution represented twenty
dollar gold piece. She put out pretty
hand to halt the donation and her fin
gers brushed those of Allen Wayne.
"We usually receive dime, or fifty
cents-hAt all that money"
Its all :, right" declared Wayne
chserily, f1Hd the coin jingled musical

ceptacle.
"But-your last cent?" fluttered the
sympathetic Miss Dunton.
1T couldn't go for a better cause,
could it?" Intercepted Wayne.
"Please-please," interrupted Eva.
Wayne started to move away. The mel
low voice and innocent eyes attracted
him nightly. Cali that money means
q great deal for the little ones and we
would like to make a record of it in
your name"

evening in her luxurious home, "what

Then, papa, this will interest you"
and flushing slightly Eva handed her
father the card, reading: "Allen
Wayne, statistician," with an office adj
dress. 'This gentleman, think, is
looking for position and is very wor-
thy. He-that is-he assisted our fund
today very generously and is, am
sure, worthy young man."

him in the morning." said Mr.. Dunton,
pocketing the bit Of pasteboard. Which
he did, and week later Allen Wayne
found himself occupying a very salts
factory position with Dunton & Com
pany, packers, and he took q new
grasp on life.
"That little donation to the orphan
children's fund seems to have. brought
me good luck" he told himself half
jocularly more than once.
He went into the office of Mr.. Dun
ton one afternoon to report on some
special work, when he noticed a fe-
male figure seated at the desk. The
stenographer approached her.

she revealed to the astonished gaze Of
Wayne the pretty applicant for charity

her hand.

stammered Wayne.

she said sweetly. A quick thought
came to Wayne.
Miss Dunton," he spoke in his
clear, open way, II half suspect my

"f so," she replied, twas it not
your due to receive cooperation from
those who appreciated your liberalityT"
And Wayne's heart warmed at this
signal token Of the interest of a par
ticularly lovely and thoughtful young
lady.
"Could you come home to dinner
with me tomorrow evening and help
my women folk untangle some human
interest statistics?" Mr.. Dunton invit-
ed two days later, and Wayne found
himself submerged in new duties most

work. The direct theme they were

pie lived longest and averaged the
higher happiness of life.
Eva flushed in pretty embarrass-
ment. Wayne held her glance, his own

How 10 Keep Farm Accounts

The tiilc Of this article Is that Of u
circular NJ Instructions put out 10y the
University Of Missouri College OF Ag-
riculturr. The county agent has given
the subject Of farm accounting consid-

systems he has studied he believes

cause.
An honest attempt 10 keep careful
records of the farm business always
results in at least one good, namely.
the farmer who keeps the records pays
closer attention to the details of his
business than he ever did before. This
close attention to details will lead even
tually to improvement and u more prof
liable business.
"rhc Federal Land Bank and all
farm loan companies require confiden-
till business statements as basis on
