In the first days Of their engage

other to distraction. Ralph Blair was
twenty-five, and had a prosperous flu
ture In the office Of the telephone COM
pany; Cynthia was just a nice Amer
lean girl Of a well-to-do family.

old man." said Ralph to his chum, Pc
terson. 1T seems as though l want

"How long have you been engagedT'
asked Peterson gloomily.
"Two weeks" answered Ralph
ecstatically.
"Wait till it's two MONTHS" said Pc

Henry Peterson vas nearly thirty.
His life was supposed to have been
permanently blighted by an unfortu-
nate and mysterious love affair a year
previously.
"What do you meal by that?" de-
manded Ralph Blair holly.

speaking quite impersonally, OF

kept in subsection in order to insure
happiness. The worst of it is, they
are so cunning"
Cynthia isn't cunning" exclaimed
Ralph Indignantly. Sat least, not in
the way you mean"
"They are all cunning" insisted
Peterson. AT first they are as meek

their tentacles firmly round their vic

Peterson said Ralph, his face
pale with anger, "if ever you speak
In that way about Miss Dunn again

you"
Nevertheless, in spite of his indig-
nation, Ralph was vaguely conscious
of Peterson's remarks when Cynthia
began to shower loving little atten'
tons upon him. For instance, there
was that birthday gift of a box OF
cigars. Ralph Blair was fond Of ci
CARS, but Cynthia had chosen these
because Of the picture on the box
which she considered artistic.
That he had to hurry through the
box of cigars, with painful results
rather than deceitfully destroy its con
tents, might have been a passing af
fair only. But then came the affai
of the neckwear. On the fifth Of DC
tober Cynthia handed him an Oblon,
box, surrounded with prettily dolores
paper. Inside Ralph found a crimson
and yellow tie. He stared al it II

Cynthia smiled happily.

When the business street OF
Washburn was fire-swept Mr.. Corn
ing's first store was among the build
ings burned and after the fire he
again opened up for business in the
Aune& OVERLY block, whichwas later
purchased by Mr.. Corning. He was
the oldest continuous customer on
the books of the Sprague Warner
Company of Chicago, the largest
wholesale grocery house. in the
United States.
He was identified with all of the
early and late business life of Wash

years ne has been Collector of Gus
toms for the Port of Washburn, sue
ceeding HI. C. Prudhomme. He was
one of the first members of the Odd

him, was one of those kindly, home
loving men always willing to lend a
hand when others were in need.
When others were in sickness or
trouble they could always find Dan
Corning willing and ready to help
them out of their difficulties. He
was good citizen, an excellent
neighbor and a kind and loving hus-

thing looking to the good of the com

kind and considerate and friend
of everyone.

avert any hardships from this source
