and won't U again-so there's sgd
ney's idea of a big diplomatic position
gone for good. Well, Sydney and your
Aunt Amelia are terribly d~isappoint-
ed, and they say they've been thinking
for years that this town isn't really fit
to live in-for a gentleman Sydney
says-and it is getting rather big and
dirty. So they've sold their house and
decided to go abroad to live perma-
nently; there's a villa neal Florence
they've often talked of buying. And
they want father to let them have their
share of the estate now. instead Of
waiting for him to leave it to them In

George said. 'That is, in case he in

the way he's looked all his life, that
1 can see. What's the matter with
him?"
"He never talks much about his
business to me, but I think he's been
worrying about some investments he
made last year. 1 think his worry
has affected his health"

manded. HE hasn't gone into Mr..
Morgan's automobile concern, has
he?"

mobile concern is all Eugene's, and
it's so small I understand it's taken
hardly anything. No; your father has
always prided himself on making only
the most absolutely safe investments,

CHAPTER X.

That night George began a jubilant
warfare upon his Aunt Fanny, open
ing the campaign upon his return
home at about eleven o'clock. Fanny
had retired, and was presumably
asleep, but George, on the way to his
W room, paused before her door,
and serenaded her In a full baritone :
GAS I walk along the Boy de Balong
With my Independent air,
The people all declare,
He must be a m~illionaire!'
On, you hear them sigh, and wish to die,
And see them wink the other eye
At the man that broke the bank at Monte
Carlo!"
After breakfasting in bed, George
spent the next morning at his grand.
fathers and did not encounter his
Aunt Fanny until lunch, when she
seemed to be ready for him.
'"Thank you SO much for the sere-
made, George" she said. "Your poor
father tells me he'd just got to sleep
for the first time in two nights, but
after your kind attentions he lay
awake the rest Of last night"
Perfectly true" Mr.. Minafer said
grimly.
"Of course, I didn't know, SIR
George fastened to assure him. "I'm
awfully sorry. But Aunt Fanny was
so gloomy and excited before I went
out, last evening, I thought she needed
cheering up"
He turned to his mother. "What's
the matter with grandfather"
didn't you see him this m~orning?'
Isabel asked.

An hour after lunch, George strolled
over to his g~randfather's, intending to
apply for further information, as a
party rightfully interested. W,
He did not carry out this intention,
however. Going into the big house by
a side entrance, he was informed that
the Major was upstairs in his bedroom,
that his sons Sydney and George were
both with him, and that a serious
argument was in progress.
George went to the foot of the great
stairway. He could hear angry voices
overhead-those of his two uncles-
and a plaintive murmur, as If the
Major tried to keep the peace.
Such sounds were far from encour-

Whether or not there is any
foundation in fact remains to be
seen, says the Nashville Banner,
but the latest grapevine" in rail
road circles is that the properties
are to be turned back October l.
There are still those of the con-
servative element who maintain
that the roads will not be turned
back until the end of the year,
which would make few days over
two years of Government opera
tion.
That the roads will be turned
back, however, seems to be fore

CAMDEN CHERT
IN DEMAND

Indications are that the ebert
deposits near Camden will be
utilized for road building material
in the construction of highways in
West Tennessee.
Representatives of the State
Highway Department have recent
ly been in conference with rail-
road officials and others in regard
to rates and supply Of such mate
rials, and this is taken to mean that
these deposits will be drawn upon
very extensively in carrying out
the road building plans in West
Tennessee.
There is no limestone west OF the
river, it ia said, and roads con-
structed OF this ebert are said to
be giving unusual satisfaction.
The ebert deposits near Camden
are said to be almost inexhaustible,
and the demands to be made in the
event the material is adopted by
the commission will make quite a
lively industry for Camden and
vicinity, as inquiries indicate that
10000 tons would be required in
one West Tennessee county alone.
