A QUESTION AND A WORD

A QUESTION AND A WORD
TO THE DISCRIMINATING BUYER.
ARE YOU ON THE MARKET
FOR A HOME PRICED AS
HIGH AS $27, 500?

A s.. 600 home would be high priced II 1t is
only worth 81 900. But this property Is worth
every cent and more from every viewpoint.
THE OWNER DESCRIBES 1T AS
"a HOME EXTRAORDINARY"
The word extraordinary" implies a great
deal. And It is there. Only personal in
spection and not a long description in this
advertisement will convince you Of its worth.

Small Amount, of Course, but It Has
Value Far Eeyond Its In
trlnslc Worth.

1t Is very common thing to hear a
clever, capable man or woman accused
of not knowing "the value Of dollar" "
or of not being able to ''save a dollar"
Before you can make money you
must first have a true appreciation Of
the value of 81; not the value of 81 900
or 100000, but the true value Of 81,
says a writer In Thrift.
You have often i.eard the express
sion: "To him dollar looks as large
as a house." While this expression Is
usually applied to a person who Is
misery, 1t would, evertheless, be al
excellent thing II every thriftless per-
son would place Iigher appreciation
upon 81.
The average person does not throw
his earnings away In large sums. He
wastes 81 here and 81 there In an un-
thinking manner.
When you enter the Office Of a sue
cessful business man and find the first
dollar he made In his business hang
ing upon the wall In frame you can,
almost Invariably, look around and see
a great, prosperous establishment.

1t seemed to her that long, stored
up bitterness was flooding away. 1t
hurt her to see him-hurt her more to
hear him. And in the succeeding few
moments she grew closer to him than
she had ever been In the past. Had
her father and mother done right by
him? Her pulse stirred with unwonted
quickness. She did not speak, but she
kissed him, which, for her, was an
indication of unusual feeling. And
when he recovered command over his
emotions he made no reference to his
breakdown, nor did she. But that
scene struck deep into Madeline Ham,
mond's heart. Through 1t she saw
what he had lost and gained.
Alfred, why did you not answer
my last letters?" asked Madeline. 81

HASTEN HANDLING OF CLAIMS
Decentralization of Legion Service
Work VIII Be Carried Out on
Joe Sparks Plan.

Decentralization of service work
undertaken by the American Legion
will be carried out by the use of a
plan put into effect by Joe Sparks, ma
tional chairman of the committee of
the Legion. This plan, Mr.. Sparks be-
lieves, will expedite the handling Of
claims referred to the Legion, and will
draw quick action on the part of the
veterans bureau.
Under the new system, all claims
coming to the attention of the nation
al service division will be forwarded
direct to the Legion department serv-
ice office in the state in which the
claim originates.
Contact with the subdistrict offices
of the United States veterans bureau
will be maintained by these officers
and the offices which have jurisdic-
ton over the claims presented will be
regularly visited. Any inattention or
lack of cooperation by veterans bu-
reau heads will be reported to the
national service division.
If for any reason a claim Is not set
tied satisfactorily by the subdistrict
office, the department head will refer
to the liaison representative of the
American Legion at the district office
of the veterans bureau. Files in the
majority of the cases are in the Office
of the district in which the veteran
lives.

SURELY CASE OF HARD LUCK
Usually Immaculate Housekeeper
Caught at Most Unfortunate
Moment.

I am a methodical housekeeper, for
which 1 have been severely criticized
by my mother-in-law, and her daugh-
ter, who are more happy-go-lucky than
/, about their work
One day 1 discovered a moth in my
fat and decided, without delay, TO
clean out all the clothes closets and
trunks.
My rooms were in utter confusion
when the doorbell rang and, to my
dismay, my mother-in-law entered
with guests. She had happy, conf
dent look upon her face, which, how
ever, soon turned to one of consterna-
ton when she saw the state of my
fiat
After short visit she took me aside
and said, in an indignant voice: Lulu.
knowing what an immaculate house
keeper you are, I brought these two
delegates to visit your home, in prefer
,ence to my daughters, and this is what
I find."-Chicago Tribune.

CHAPTER Ill
Sister and Brother.

Then Madeline returned to the little
parlor with the brother whom she had
hardly recognized.
Majesty" he exclaimed. ITO think
Of your being here!"
The warmth stole back along her
veins. She remembered how that pet
name had sounded from the lips of
this brother who had given it to her.
"Alfred!"
Dear old GIRL" he said, "you
haven't changed at all, except to grow
lovelier. Only you're a woman now,
and you've fulfilled the name 1 gave
you. G-dl how sight Of you brings
back homel 1t seems hundred years
since left. I missed you more than
all the rest"
Madeline seemed to feel with his ev-
cry word that she was remembering
him. She was so amazed at the change
in him that she could not believe her
eyes. She saw bronzed, strong
jawed, eagle-eyed man, stalwart, su-
perb of height, and, like the cowboys,
belted, booted, spurred. She had bid
den good-by to a disgraced, disin-
herited, dissolute boy. Well she re-
membered the handsome pale face
with its weakness and shadows and
careless smile, with the ever-present
cigarette hanging between the lips.
The years had passed, and now she
saw him a mantle West had made
him man. And Madeline Hammond
felt strong, passionate gladness and
gratefulness, and direct check to her
sudden inspired hatred of the West.
Majesty, 1t was good Of you to
come. I'm all broken up. How did
you ever do it? But never mind that
now. Tell me about that brother Of
mine"
And Madeline told him, and then
about their sister Helen. Question
after question he fired at her; and she
told him Of her mother: Of Aunt Grace,
who had died a year ago; Of his old
friends, married, scattered, vanished.
But she did not tell him Of his father,
for he did not ask.
Quite suddenly the rapid-flre ques-
tioning ceased; he choked, was silent
q moment. and then burst into tears.
