Why do the people OF LeesburR
and Lee County go to the nearby
towns to buy their Groceries and
why can't the merchants OF Lees
burg offer Groceries as cheap as the
nearby towns? The consumer never
stops to think for moment that
the money spent in the other town

County? Is your friends in Lee
county or the other county? When
YOU want money from the bank or
groceries ON credit do you go To
the other town? No you do not!
Well then why do you go TO the
other town to spend your money?
These are simple questions and
every man knows the answer-but
when sou ask him why he does this

you say taxes are too high now, but
they are going to be higher il you
don't learn to keep your money at

in the other town to so there to

be good place for you to move
and give u more progressive citizen

CHAPTER XXX.
The Truth Revealed.

There was an excited flush in her
cheeks and her eyes were like stars.
Oh" she said in a little whisper isn't
it just like fairy story, with the coach
and the fairy godfather at the door,
You're a child, that's all you will ever
be-" he told her, and then as he heard
Cavanagh,s voice in the hall he caught
Ninette's hand and raised it to his lips.
Goodbye. my dear-God bless you"
then he stood away from her as the door
opened and Ninette's father walked into
the room
The next few minutes were confused
and uncertain. and Ninette was never
quite clear as to what really happened,
till she found herself Il ding away from
the house with her father beside her,
her eyes a little blurred and misty as
she leaned forward to take last feeting
LOOK at Peter Nothard's tall figure stand
ing in the doorway.
"Oh." she said vehemently, II am sorry,
sorry to leave him.
Cavanagh frowned lightly.
THAT is not very complimentary to
me Ninette," he said
She laid a timid hand on his arm
at isn't that I am not glad to have
found you you know that--but-as soon
as l make friends I seem to lose them
again"
He leaned forward and drew up the
window. You will make many friends

WARM CHICAGO
Lands AbOlishes Restrictive
Rules Except Those Apply
ing to Wages Or Hours.

CHICAGO, Sept. Peace in the build
ing industry and resumption of build
ing operations on a scale involving ex-
penditure of millions of dollars was be-
lieved in sight today as the result OF
agreements reached between contractors
and building trades unions through ar.
bitrations of Judge X. NJ. Lands. Cases
of disputes that have kept the industry
here in turmoil for several years are
believed to have been removed by the
agreement.
All restrictive rules imposed by unions.
or by associations of builders. except
those applying to wages and hours OF
labor, dre abolished. Chief of these were
the rule requiring union men to obtain
a permit from a union official here
changing his job and the regulation
viii h prohibited contractors not mem
bers of certain organizations from deal
ing individually with union laborers
without first applying to the organiza-
ton heads or to other contractors. The
rule which prevented outside contractors
from bidding on building work in Cook
County also was abolished.
More than one hundred union officials,
contractors and building material men
alleged illegal practices, and 1t was re-
ported additional indictments against
fifty men had been voted by the grand
jury. This report, however, lacked Of
fetal confirmation.

| At the end Of week Ninette still felt
as If she were living and moving in a
dream. Although Cavanagh told her that

exactly as she wished, she could not ac-
custom herself to her new surround,
ings and mode OF living.
The first excitement wore off quickly
the noveltyof spending money and
choosing frocks soon palled on her. and
she began to feel restless and unhappy.
There was nothing to do Cavanagh

Again and again her thoughts went
back with bitter inconsistencies to the
days that were gone-to her life with
Josh Wheeler, and the many hardships
which they had shared together.
The few small happinesses which had
come their way had been more widely
enjoyable by contrast than anything she
could expert nee now; and sometimes she
would steal away to her room and shed
tears Of real grief and longing for tht

She heard nothing OF or from the De

what had become of them-what Arthur
