shaking It's antlers at the populace and
portraying in every trot that 1t was
having night off and intended to
see the town. Fallow - the runaway

It took considerable diplomacy and
force and police whistles and fright

but perhaps the most interesting fea-

Jack Dempsey has given a pretty
fair illustration of what a prize fight

so right away.
That night she broke the news
to her brother, and to her amaze
ment, Tom took the announcement
without a protest.
Nobody deserves a home ant
happiness more than you. Luella,
he declared fondly, caressing her
"and Lem Cantrell has certainl,
served out his time in waiting unit
you were good and ready. 'But yor
what will you dot" Luella inter.
rupted.
"Mef" Tom repeated. "Why
bother about mef Surely a man OF
forty five should be able to look af-
ter himself"
"He should be-" Luella returned
"but mighty few of them are, though
some of them do know enough to gel
a place and live in it,"
"Oh, well, let's don't quarrel about
that now," Tom answered placidly,
'1ets plan for your wedding, and
remember, Luella, anything you want
isn't good enough for you"
In due time Luella was married
and went to live in Lem Cantrell's
bought and. paid-fo house, while
Tom, with Aunt Liza, an cid servant
of the Crofton fanny, moved into
the old Sawyers' place.
It was terrible lonesome at first,
he admitted to himself, to live alone !;
Luella had always been an agree
able companion except when she ex-
pressed her opinion of himslef in
spending his time identifying other
peoples property. Never before had
he thought she could be right about
the matter, but as he looked over
the dilapidated place he had so re-
Gently moved into, he wondered if,
after all, Luella wasn't right-what
had he profited by his beautiful
trail? Surely nothing had come to
him personally from all his efforts.
He could have been a rich man by
now had he paid more attention to
cultivating the soil. and done less
beautifying.

adjoining farms; at their death
however, their lands and money wer'
handed down to the sons, who imme-
diately closed up the houses and
went out to see the world. Will
plenty of money to back them, they
went into business in a far away
city and the old homes that had once
been the show places Of Wilson
county slowly but surely went tc
wreck, until they became uninhab.
liable. OF course, Tom would soor
trim it up and make the whole place
into a thing of beauty, and then il
would promptly be sold, and they'd
be moving again.
Oh, how she hated to move; She
almost wished she had married Lem
Cantrell with his eight motherless
children when he proposed to her
ten years ago.
Suddenly it dawned upon her
that she had been refusing this same
admirer annually ever since. The
children were grown up and pretty
well married off now, and Lem with
his youngest daughter was living in
and owned the house that she and
Tom had lived in when they first
came to Wilson county, twenty
years ago. 1t was place of beauty
now, due in good many ways to
Toms craze for planting things that
would live.
She sank YEARLY upon a we'll
made chicken coop to reflect upon
her future. This thing of continually
moving, fixing up places and NOV
ing again was beginning to get the
best Of her; she had lived spinster
by choice, she reflected, in order to
keep house for her brother, who had
promised with each move to buy a
home when they moved again.
The noise of rolling wheels caused
her to look up and smile spread
over her face as she recognized Lem
CantrelPs old sorrel horse slowing
down at the gate. She moved out
like a girl of sixteen to greet him,
her mind fully made up to accept
Lem for better or worse, and to do

place trim and neat by spring, and
several pople had secretly hoped to
follow him there.
1t was in the early part Of blus-
terry March day, however, that Tom
Crofton, stepping out on the back
porch Of his rented house, discovered
he had a new neighbor in the dilap-
idated house just across the line.
This new tenant was a woman-a
young woman at that-whom Tom
Crofton soon discovered was wholly
bent upon identifying her side of the

n EOPLE who talk pessimistical-
ly of the covered buying
power" forget one great fact.
A drop in prices, such as we have
had, actually increases the purchas-
ing power of the general public The
great saIaried class is hetter off
than a year ago. Their purchasing
power increased as prices receded.
They have been holding back merely
until prices should stabilize. Now
they are reading advertising with
an eye to real business.
But as a prominent banker OBJ
served:
"When the rank and file of the
people of this country slow up on
buying and begin to economize, as
they have been doing, their buying
power accumulates rapidly and soon
reaches a point where they are will
ing to spend their savings. Consump-
tion quickly overtakes and exceeds
production and forces business
again to expand. Never were the peo-
pie of the United States more pros
porous as a whole, and therefore il
is not likely that revival in busi-
ness will be long postponed"
The banker was right.
Even now the signs show a Spring
revival of good old-fashioned buy
ing-of good old-fashioned adver-
tised goodsl
Shoppers are finding that by TAX
ing advantage Of the buying oppor-
tunities which advertised goods Of
fer them, they can make their dol
lars buy a full dollars worth OF
yalue-and no one can hope for or
want more than that.

still small vocie whispered.

His mind was made up-he'd just
get busy and see how much he could
make out Of the land he had rented,
and when he left he'd leave the
place just as unattractive as it was
