Apple Pie Love

at ALL Silently they sat eating their din
ner when suddenly 'Lizbeth looked up
with 4 bright smile.
Mary Lee, you mustn't go back to
town on Monday, for l have great sur
prise for you that day"
And what may that be?"
Promise me you won't go and I'll
tell you"
But really. Iizbeth dear, must go.
You see have been here nearly two
weeks already"
Honest. Mary Lee. if you don't go
back so soon I'll bake you a fine apple
pic. all for your own self"
This happy thought had come into
Lizbett's mind as Mother Brown
brought in the dessert-large slices of
luscious apple pie.
Mary Lee forgot all about John Turn
err and everyone else and laughed hearth
ly as she caught the drift of 'Lzabeth's
remark. and proceeded to divide her
portion of pie with her little friend. John
Turner laughed also and somehow all
the embarrassment was gone.
John Turner was a man of few words
and quick action. And Mary Lee was
to leave for the city in two days.
Miss Lee, wouldn't you like to stay
another two weeks in the country9 You

are willing to take chance and stay
here and laugh and play with 'Lizbeth
and me for another two weeks, I'll guar
antee you a choice of two fine positions
with my concern. One rather private
and confidential. the other regular
stcnographic position Will you take q
chance and stay?"
Mary Lee looked at the grass and the
trees She felt the soft breezes around
her, and heard the birds singing in the
trees, and then she and John together
framed a telegram to her employer ask
ing him to retain the substitute in her
place as she really needed two weeks
more in the country"
AT the end of the two weeks Mary
Lee had decided to take the "rathe. pri-
vate and confidential position"

business after his Saith year he would
probably have remained almost I'M
known, for everything of importance
that he has done has been accomplished
since that time
Someone has truly characterized Ryan
as the "unraveller of financial tangles"
For the last Is years he has been en-
gagged in Strengthening out financial,
railroad and industrial tangles. His first
big work was the creation of the Rich
mond Terminal Company, which
brought the warning Southern railroads
into an advantageous agreement. Then
he returned to New York again and
brought order out of chaos in the light
ing and street transportation systems of
the metropolis. He settled the troubles
of the Hooking Valley and the Pere
Marquette railroads and reorganized the
Seaboard Air Line He merged and
strengthened several New York banks
and trust companies. He became
powerful factor in the American ToDac-
co Company and succeeded in bringing
to an end its strife with the great Brit
ish tobacco trusts.
In spite of his many important trans
actions he was almost the only fnan-
cier with enough capital and backing to
obtain the majority of stock in the
Equitable Insurance Company whose
name was not mentioned III the deal llfl-
til he was ready to announce it. This
was characteristic of Ryan, for he never
talks about what he intends to do. He
has given away several millions of dol
lars in charities, but few people are
aware of his gifts Most of his piIla1n-
thropy has been extended to Catholic in
stitutions, to churches. schools and hos
pitfalls, one of the most rnunilccnt be ng

to the Boston gas situation. The latter
was one of the sensational chapters in
Thomas w. Lawson's "Frenzied FL

which rivalled in ferocity and dramatic
incidents the earlier warfare between
