cording to E. H. Bieries the new
"Smithy" who last week took over
the Westport Blacksmith shop.
Mr.. Bieries is blacksmith of the
old school, and he is firm believer
in the old saying that Gears May
Come and Cars May Go, But the
Horse will go on Forever"
''This blacksmith business is get
ting better all of the time,' SAID
Mr.. Bieries recently. "The heavy
truck may have little the best edge
on the dray business just now, out
the horse is coming back and to
stay. To begin with, the horse is
an all year animal. His motive Is
lust as good in the snow as 1t is IN

CHAPTER yXyIII

HUMAN nature is a strange thing,
and Granville Burton was a man
too sure of himself ever to doubt his
supremacy concerning his own posses
sions. He had delighted in seeing
Laurel admired by other men. He re-
membered once shortly after they had
been married his pride as she had stood
surrounded by men. She was woman
made to be admired and loved, but she
belonged to him and he would as soon
have thought Of one Of his friends
breaking into his safe as he would have
thought of any one trying seriously to
interest Laurel.
But since last night when he had
held her in his arms and she had been
utterly unresponSive,' something in him
had changed. The old assurance was
not SO strong. If he had seen Laurel
At lunch with one of his own friends
he would have thought nothing of 1t.
hut this man out of the world in which
laurel had played big part before he
had come into her life, this big, silent
man, who was a big man in his way,
was it possible that he could give Laurel
something that she did not get in her
own life?
Before Laurel had seen Granville he
had seen the party come into the dining
room and had observed the gay CANA
raderie. and the light badinage that
had been tossed back and forth. Laurel
siggled like a gay little girl and she
was exquisite in her cool soft white,
the loveliest thing in the room, but as
soon as she had seen him something
went out Of her smile, certain reserve
came back to her face; she was subtly
changed.
I Laurel bowed to Potter and Daggett,
men who had visited at the Burton
house many times, men who turned over
daily big financial deals, who were
