anon means to boss US, Lebanon wants
| to sit on us because we're Catholics,
because we're French, because we're
! honest"
Again n wave of revolution swept
through the crowd. The big river
driver represented their natural in
stincts, their native fanaticism, their
prejudices. But the old man spoke
once more.
''lngolby wants Lebanon and Mani
tou to come together, not to fall
apart" he declared He wants peace.
If he gets rich here he won't get rich
alone. He's working for both towns.
If he brings money from outside, that's
good for both towns. If he"
shut your mouth, let Ingolby speak
for himself" snarled the big river
driver. Take his dollars out of your
pocket and put them on the bar, the
dollars Ingolby gives you to say all
this. Put them dollars of Ingolby's
up for drinks, or Wen give you a jar
that'll shake you, old wart-hog."
| At that instant a figure forced itself
through the crowd and broke into the
packed circle which was drawing closer
upon the old man.
1t was Jethro Fave. He flung a hand
out toward the old man.
You want Ingolby-well, that's In
COLBY" he shouted.
Like lightning the old man straight
ened himself, snatched the wig and
beard from his head and face, and with
quiet fearlessness said:
Yes, l am Ingolby.'
For an instant there was absolute si-
lence, in which Ingolby weighed his
chances. He was among enemies. He
had meant only to move among the
crowd to discover their attitude, to
find things out for himself. He Mad
succeeded, and his belief that Manitou
could be swayed in the right direction if
properly handled was correct. Beneath
the fanaticism and the racial spirit
was human nature; and until Jethro
Fave had appeared he had hoped to
prevent violence and the collision at
tomorrow's funeral.
Now the situation was all changed.
It was hard to tell what sharp turn
things might take. He was about to
speak, but suddenly from the crowd
there was spat out at him the words,
Spy! Sneak! Spy.'
Instantly the wave of feeling ran
against him. He smiled frankly, how
ever, with that droll twist of his mouth
which had won so many, and the rail
lery of his eyes was more friendly
: than any appeal.
Spy, if you like, my friends" he
said firmly and clearly. Moses sent
spies down into the Land Of Promise,
and they brought back big punches of
grapes. Well, I've come down into a
land of promise. I wanted to know
Just how you all feel without being

Spy. Spy! Spy" cried a new
voice.
1t came from behind the bar. An
instant after, the owner Of the voice
leaned up on the counter. 1t was Felix
Marchand. He had entered by the door
behind the bar into Barbazon's office.

They paused. Something in him made

THE PROBLEM OF THE NEW
RESTAURANT
The Result Of Teamwork

TIHE day that The Golden Hour
L restaurant began giving the tea
spoons to every diner was busy one.
BY II 80 every seat was filled and
numbers of persons were standing walt
ing to fill chairs as soon as they were
vacated. :.
At half past / we were wondering If
the extra supply of food that we had
prepared would last the lunch period.
Many of the dishes were already sold
ont. and we told the mattresses that
they should suggest Golden Hour om
elets" to people.
This dish was an ordinary omelet
with filler of canned tongue chopped
nm fine and some black. currant jam.
A cracker with thin slice of cheese
the size of the cracker placed on top OF
it and some black currant jam on top
of the cheese was served with the om-
elet.
This was dish that Miss Elan
thought up on the spur of the moment,
and. to our surprise. it proved very
nopular. OF course, the whole success
of the day was not attributed wholly
to our free teaspoon stunt, for we had
tied up the advertising of the teaspoon
with some of Betterly's remarkable ad-
yertising of the special dishes.
For instance, on this particular Mon
day. Miss Elan had steak and onions
as the principal part of the seventy
FIVE cent lunch, and it went like wild
fire everybody wanted the seventy five
cent lunch with twenty five cent
special Southern Star" Now Bet
terley's advertising of these two items
caused the run on these higher priced
dishes.
This is what he wrote in the adver-
tisement about the steak and onions !:
."Three delicious slices of luscious,
Juicy steak done to turn and simply
oozing goodness. Between each slice is
n scrumptious little heap of crisp hash :
ed brown potatoes and on top of each
heap is tender asparagus tip, while
around the whole is a wall of tender
and tempting Bermuda onions. The
whole dish served piping hot, with lit
the round crisp hot graham mullins"

The Bubble Balloons

The Bubble Balloons
Bubbles, bubbles, round and bright.
Go a-sailing out of sight;
Up among the clouds on high
To the rainbow in the sky"
Doggy sat on the porch merrily sing
L ing this little song. All through the
rainy summer afternoon she had
amused herself blowing big, wabbly
soap bubbles. Now she was happy be-
cause little gllnts of sunshine,
peeking through the openings in the

ing her watery balloons with the colors
Of the rainbow. It was sign that
the storm was nearly over and Peggy
turned eagerly toward the east to see
IL the rainbow itself were there with its
promise of fair weather.
But no rainbow was In sight. In
stead the frowning skies still dripped,
dripped, dripped.
"It's a fine day for ducks" chuckled
Peggy, blowing another bubble

the porch, others breaking almost as
soon as they left the bowls of the clay
pipes.
"Up among the clouds on high
To the rainbow in the sky"
sang Peggy as one pretty bubble foated
away. Then she cried out in JOY, for
across the eastern heavens was spread
a brilliant, many hued arch. The rain
bow had come at last, and the bubble,
sparkling ip ray of sunshine, was
rising toward it.
"Oh, wouldn't it be fun to float up
and up like the bubbles do?" cried
Peggy. 1--WE could see what gives the
rainbow its colors and whether the
clouds are as soft and feecy as they
look

BRUNO DUKE, Solver 0fBusineSs Problems
By HAROLD of "Th Business Career of Peter FEnt

One man said, "If that ad merely
stated steak and onions, seventy five

Betterly let himself "go" when he
advertised that splendid dessert, for this
is what he said:

We had quite an argument as to
which was the biggest "puller' that
day-the free spoon or Betterly's re-
markable word pictures of the special
dishes.

Fleda Druse, daughter of Gabriel
Druse, of gipsy blood, shoots in a
canoe the Carlton rapids on the
Sagalac river where it flows between
the towns of Manitou and Lebanon
In the Canadian Northwest. She is
rescued from the whirlpools below by
Max Ingolby, a manager of great in
terests, who has come to Lebanon to
unite the two towns and make them
the center Of commerce in the western
north. On the shore she is insulted
by Felix Marchand, a powerful but
disreputable character of Manitou.
Ingolby attacks Marchand, who vows
revenge. Fleda Is claimed by one
Jethro Fave as his wife, under a
gipsy custom which united them in
marriage when they were children.
Fleda rejects him. Marchand stirs
up a feud between the two towns in
order to foil Ingolby's ambitions. A
strike is to be called. 1ngolby's new
bridge is to be blown up and he him
self thrown into the river. 1ngolby
determines to mingle that night with
his enemies in Manitou disguised as
q French Canadian. lngolby and
