NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER V
TICK had stopped at the Y. W.
- C. A. for Ewes mail on his
way to the station to meet her.
There was q large envelope from
her mother, containing letters for
her and for Dick. Ewes parents
had been asked not to announce
the marriage.
"Why, bless her heart!" said
Dick. ut must have taken her a
whole evening to write this. It's
a great many years since anyone
called me Dear Son."
And indeed it had taken Mrs.
Bayless a whole evening to COM
pose that first painstaking letter to
her new sOn-in-law. Kate Bayless,
plump, patient and domestic, was
suffering the tortures Of rheumatic
fingers incurred from years Of hard
toll in the interest Of her family.
Henry Bayless-or Hank" as he
generally was known-was secretly
proud Of his wife and daughters
and praised their achievements to
outsiders. But 1t was his firm be-
lief that encouragement would
cause them to overdo and therefore
they seldom heard these words Of
praise.
Soon after his marriage to Kate,
Hank had established a small but
ter and egg route. His earnings
had to be stretched with the ut
most care to cover the cost Of ed
ucating his two daughters, keep
up the home and put by something
for old age. 1t had been the dream
Of his life to have a business Of
his own. However. a large stock
company gradually absol bed all
the butter and egg routes Of the
neighborhood, Hanks with the
rest. After that he secured work
with a company manufacturing
passenger elevators. His work was
to assist in assembling the parts
and check for possible errors.
Thrift was the watchword OF the
Bayless home. Hank had taught
his family always to have the cash
on hand before any purchase was
made. For years he had set aside
regularly a small sum to invest in
the stock Of the local manufac-
turing concern which had been
built up from a small beginning by
two of his friends in whom he had
the greatest confidence. In the
course Of years the dividends from
this investment became irregular
and uncertain and it was whis-
pered about that the company was
not as stable as 1t had been. Hank
stopped investing in the stock and
increased his weekly deposits at
the bank.
DESPITE all this careful saving
~ and economizing, Kate Bayless
had managed to lay by over the
ears a small but steadily growing
accumulation of dollars. Unknown
to Hank, she had deposited this
money in building and loan asso-
citation.
Kate saved for this fund by un-
My $500 less than the salary
