 Peggys strokes with the paddle carried them towards the middle of the pond. They continued down the length of the pond until they reached the high rocky bluff at the extreme end.
 In pure enjoyment Peggy circled the pond. To the south she found the shore flat and swampy and they talged in subdued tones as the ca- noe drifted along, occasionally guid- ed by Peggy's paddle.

The canoe had sprung a leak and was taking in water-fast- CT, faster. With a gurgling noise it went down.
 Peggy swam to Julias side as the maid came up. She tried to avoid Julia's grasping fingers and called to her to keep calm.

Gross sales of j. C. Penney Co
for the month of December of this
year were $25, los, 925.33, as com.
pared with gross sales for the same
month in 1927 of $21, 1895 21. 80
revealing a gain of 1916 per cent
The total for the year is sits, 697,-

as compared with total sales OF
$751; ,957,865.20 in 1927.
In commenting on the years in
crease, Mr.. "A. J. Lies, manager
said:
We feel that the increased sales
over last year to the amount OF
$24, 739, 1862, or 1928 per cent
is splendid showing for our 1923
stores in operation at the close OF
1928.
While the sales for the year
were less than the quota, we be-
ieve this fact may be attributed
to the unreasonable weather. The
increases made by the stores in op-
Grafton for year or more reflect
a satisfactory condition through
out the country. Due to the broad
scope of our store units which are
located in every state but Della
ware, the picture presented is a
good cross-section of the economic
situation.
"In line with our program to
open 500 new stores in the next
twelve months, as recently an
nounced, the Company expects to
do well in excess of 100000 in
sales in 1929"
