MEMORY BELLS
By Agnes G. Brogan

ME hurried home to turn on gas blaze
and don her most presentable dress so that
she might make favorable impression as
a successful young wielder of the brush.
The purchaser might arrive any minute.
But it was the next afternoon when he
came and Connie was wearing bunga-
low apron.
The purchaser was young and tall and
good looking, and the golden cat greeted
him with a purring rub, which was to
Connie recommendation as to his honesty.
Mr.. Hubert Armstrong came directly to
business.
"Your sketches have for me double
interest, Miss Carroll" he said.
"You have drawn remarkably some of
the happiest scenes of my boyhood. Scenes
which l am ashamed to say had half
forgotten. The world of business absorbs
much of human kindness am afraid, and
sometimes a struggle for success causes us
tee leave much that is tender behind. I
am grateful to you for awakening in me

her eyes childishly in the hope that her
picture would not be there when she
opened them. And it was the day but one
before Christmas that the "Shoppe" mana
ger seeing her peeking about, beckoned her
inside.
"You have pleased one of our best GUS
TONER'S" said the manager, "and when we
mentioned your peculiar condition of sale
he suggested talking the matter over with
you that you might both come to salts
factory bargain. Our customer thinks that
you possess wonderful artistic ability. We
have given him your address,"
"Is he," asked Connie falteringly, "a
philanthropist?"
Some way she did not want her pur-
chaser to be just philanthropist and
spoil all future ambitious hope.
"Mr. Armstrong is man who usually
drives pretty shrewd bargain" the

The man spoke abruptly.

asked. "Isn't that what your studio is for?" !,
Connie shook her head ruefully.

to live in"
"And you live alone?"

terday carried the following informa-
ton:
B. L. Bugg, general superintendent

the officials of the road were negotiat-

ployees of the road looking to a, set
Element.
"At a conference in Atlanta last
Wednesday the so per cent reduction
of increases since 1917 was agreed on
as basis said Mr.. BugS. "How-
ever, there is no danger of anybody
walking out at this time as negotiat-
ions are in progress with view to
settlement. On January 10th another
meeting will be held here, when de-

Board may have to pass on any
changes before they go into effect"
The proposition was referred by
the local units of the several unions
to the general executives who are in
session in Cleveland, o., today for
