CHAPTER Xxx.

When the great Anderson estate
went into court for settlement, "thcre
wasn't any," George Anderson said
that is, when the settlement was con-
Guided there was no estate. He re-
preached himself bitterly for not hav-
ing long ago discovered that his ia
Their had never given Isabel a deed to
her house. "And those pigs, Sydney
and Amelia!" he added, for this was
another thing he was bitter about.
"They won't do anything. I'm sorry
gave them the opportunity Of making
a polished refusal. The estate was bad
ly crippled even before they took out
their third and the third they took
was the only good part of the rotten
apple. Well, l didn't ask them for res
titution on my own account, and at
least it will save you some trouble,
young George. Never waste any time
writing to them; you mustn't count on
them"

The first session of summer CAM

made in scouting is the feature which
marks the degree of success attained.

in scouting were completed. or these

Rents averaged 40 per cent higher

This marks an average Increase OF

of 81 per cent since March, 1919.
These increases refer to changes
in rents for low and medium priced
houses. Steam-heated apartme nts

ed greater rent advances.

replies to questionnaires returned by

Price increases varied greatly.
