The lawyer chuckled softly.
Its the Hapgood place. I'll drive
you over tomorrow. It's owned by two
old maids, and they worship every
stick and stone and blade of grass that
belongs to it. However, l happen to

with a twitching Of his lips.

the would-be purchaser.
The lawyer smiled and sprang to the
ground. Introductions quickly fol-
lowed, then he cleared his throat in
some embarrassment.
"Ahem! I've brought Mr.. Hazelton
up here, ladies, because he was inter-
ested in your beautiful place."
Miss Rachel smiled-the smile of
proud possession then something with
in seemed to tighten, and she caught
her breath sharply.
1T is fine!" murmured Hazelton ;
"and the view is grand !" he continued,
his eyes on the distant hills. Then he
turned abruptly. Ladies, believe in
coming straight to the point. 1 want
a summer home, and-I want this one.

Indeed, no." began Rachel almost

voice stumbled over the hated word,
then stopped, while her face burned
scarlet.
"Pay mo human mortal could pay
for this house," flashed Rachel indig-
nantly. Then she turned to HazeltOn,
her slight form drawn to its greatest
height, and her hands crushing the
flowers she held till the brittle stems
snapped, releasing fluttering shower
OF scarlet and gold. "Mr. Hazelton,

to our hearts, we need money. We

Rachel had read this aloud, but her
voice ended in a sob instead of in the
boys name. Hazelton brushed the
back of his hand across his eyes, and
the lawyer looked intently out the win
dow. For a moment there was ST.
lence that could be felt, then Hazelton
stepped to the table and fumbled nois-
lily with the papers.
Ladies, / withdraw my Offer" he
announced. II can't afford to buy this
house, can't possibly afford tits

word he left the room, motioning the
lawyer to follow.

nation about United Drug In the Invest :

advise U1e7-E. NJ. 7.
Answer-Althoug we feel that a
woman Of limited means should not be
so heavily interested in common
stock such as United Drug, there seems
70 be little logic In considering the
sale OF this stock AZ loss At this time
in view Of the steady recovery In the
conpany's earnings. Earnings for the
first six months Of 1922 were equiva-
lent 20 1923 per cent on the common
stock, compared with substantial
deficit In the same period OF 1921. We
believe. however. that when the stock
has approached more nearly 20 your
original buying price you should dis
pose Of all or the greater part OF u
and reinvest in good bonds or pre-
ferred stocks. II you do not sell when
the stock looks strong you will run the
risk Of getting into the same dificuliy
again.
