The Man From
Huntington
By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD


&c, 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)
For seven long months Carter Rags
dale had been living in New York. II
had been decided change from Hunt
ington, Miss, with its 2,S78 popula-
ton, approximately all his personal
friends or cordial acQuaintanceS.
One had to be mentally alert In the
offices Of Richards Bros. There were
no free intervals there for regrets and
repinings. Particularly if one had
firmly determined to learn, in as short
time as possible, all the multitudin-
GUS details of very big business, and
some day to hold one of it's proud
positions.
Evenings were different. Then Car
ter Ragsdale had thought that he
would gladly exchange all the thrills
of metropolitan existence to be back
at home again.
On the first Sunday in May, when
spring was making Central park a
place of enchantment, throwing a soft
veil of green over the chill lOveliness
it wears in winter, Carter Ragsdale
went for a stroll through it's highways
and byways.
1t was a beautiful morning. Things
had been going well at the office. His
chief, a man little given to praise,
had spoken some words of warm COM
mendation, the afternoon before. He
had been given increased RESPONSE
biity. There were hints Of promo
ton, with salary increase, before
long.
AS he paced slowly that Sunday
morning, Carter was thinking that
things were indeed we'll with his
world-if he might only sometimes
see some one from home. Then he re-
membered the Huntington paper, the
four-page weekly which came to his
boarding house each Saturday, every
line of which he read on Sunday. He
sat down on a convenient bench, and
drew the thin sheet from his pocket.
No records of world happenings in
the great New York papers were as
interesting as the Live Little Locals"

From some sudden impulse Carter
Ragsdale raised his eyes.
Directly opposite, across the path,
sat a strangely familiar figure. An
old gentleman, lean of frame, aQui-
line of feature, keen of eye, was
watching him. Instantly upon his feet,
Carter Ragsdale whipped off his hat,
and bounded the dozen intervening
feet, his face eXultant.
"Why, Mr.. Vernon" he called, "who
would ever have expected"
BY this time he had reached the
bench where his park neighbor sat.
His face fell.

The stranger summoned the young
man to a seat beside him.

double" he said courteously.
Then Carter made explanations.
"Mr. Roger Vernon, sir. He is presi-
dent of the bank at home, and a very
fine gentleman. No one could object
to having such double"
Carter found himself talking quite
at ease with his new acquaintance.
The old gentleman doomed a laugh
Of hearty appreciation.
