He stood there, solitary figure,
his Imagination picturing the new
scenes that were now within his
reach. His eyes saw streets crowd
ed with friendly people and shining
with lights of brilliant hues. :.
And all at once another sort oflight
came into his vision. Lights that
had been soft and starry, lights
that shone from the eyes of a wiz
ened old lady-a bride-to-be. And
still again appeared different sort
of light, proud, defiant, that had &C
companied the words of the groom.
"We saved quite spell for that"
But something that had always
threatened the cash register still
persisted. 1t was saying that the
little hill-town had a heart; a great
big heart that would shower the
poor couple after he was far be-
yond apprehension.
The purse was still clutched
tightly in his hand. He wished
suddenly that the train might come
at once. so that he need hesitate
no longer.
Suddenly he whirled around. The
door had opened and the old man
was again entering. Jadd dropped
| the purse into his pocket.
The old mountaineer leaned on
| the counter. "Jes' thought I'd run
back n asst va to go long to the
courthouse tomorrow" he said, then
added confdentially, II never liked

most fellas-like yourn are"
Jadd Baines' eyes fell, then lift

shrilly. The eight forty-flve!
The engine had stopped and was
painting impatiently at it's inactiv-
ity, Jadd stood fascinated until the
painting began to quicken. Bells
rang warningly, and then the pant
ing became a steady purr.
Then, to the old mans astonish-
ment he laughed. A laugh that held
world of relief. He stretched his
neck and ran his handkerchief
around inside Of his collar.
'sWhat'sa matter" His trusting
friend wanted to know.
"That train" Jadd motioned in
the direction of the station. "1'm
lust glad it wasn't early"
The old fellows brow wrinkled
in puzzlement. Then he, too, laughed
in bewildered manner. He had
dismissed it as something he
couldn't understand.
And he was right about that. But
the next morning, when happy
old man opened a decrepit purse te

CONGRESS is wrestling with the

having simplified it down to a mere
sixty-odd thousand words-about
the length Of a fair-sized summer

and having made it's provisions so
clear and lucid that you may read

to get practically the same result
either way.
1t may yet be necessary to call

it.
Anyhow, the ultimate outcome

like that word ''outcome"-must
be that congress will find a method
