Most remarkable!" With one hand
he was holding the letter closer to
his pince- e-neZ; with the other he was
fumbling for the book on handwriting.
He opened the book and compared the
writing with the specimen Paul had
copies the night before. Ferris Black
was chuckling with delight and Helen,
standing above him, was soaring on
wings of happy anticipation.
Paul would get the job; they'd be
married!
Miss Lake" Black burbled, II must

Helen turned toward her own desk.

But what was he saying?

him!"
What is it. Mr.. Black?" Helen
managed to ask.
He looked up at her, assuming q

WALLACE STUDIES
1887 FARM PLANS
Series of "Community Meet.
ings" to Shape Program
Announced.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal farm program for next
year today engaged the attention of
leaders at the Agriculture Department
Secretary Wallace asked farmers to
keep fundamental objectives always
in mind" as the A. A. A. announced
a series of community meetings" to
shape the 1887 soil-conservation
program.
Wallace said the program should
aim at checking soil erosion, improv-
ing soil fertility. encouraging better
land use and maintaining farm
income.
Among questions to be discussed"
at the farmer meetings were crop
insurance and possible limitations on
benefit payments for each farm.
Wallace has advocated a Federal
crop insurance plan recently and the
limitation of Federal payments was
suggested in Congress, where COM
plants were heard that large cor
porations and big landholders had
been paid thousands of dollars by
the A. A. A.
The A. A. A. said the community

pointed to the note Hartley had
sent in. See? He fishhooks his
't's'-" pointing to an elaborate
penciled swirl. People who use fish
hooks for crossing their 't's' aren't
trustworthy. Ask any graphologist." !"
Helen Lake knew that that settled
Mr.. Hartley. She'd have to endure
his shocked fury, but that was moth
ing unusual. Since MIR. Black had
bought the book on interpreting hand
writing, his hthographing business in
Maryland had gone to seed. Old Gus
toners refused to trade with Black
any more-he'd insulted so many
of them by finding traces of la
tent insanity or criminal traits
in their innocently scribbled mes
sages.
Hunt, you should curb your an
ger; those long loops on your 'g's'
show me" And MIR. Hunts $4,000

competitor.
Or Major, why don't you 60 in
for social service? You're too moody

A splutter, as speechless Maj. Moody
took his brewery business else
where.
HARTLEY had long since gone,
= = shaking his head in amazement
that any one should refuse business
in these times; and Helen Lakes
thoughts were occupied with other
things-a home, babies, perhaps a
family car If Paul could only
find a job! 1t wasn't his fault that
building had fallen of. so that even
first-rate architects were running
errands and appearing on amateur
programs.
No, it wasn't his fault. Sure, he'd
find something soon and the path
of true love never ran smooth. But
Helen was growing tired of waiting
and sometimes guiltily suspicious that
Paul was too particular. He said
he'd take anything. Would he wash
cars? Or work on the presses. like
the shirtless crew downstairs?
Helen sat up so sharply that the
Office cat leaped from the radiator
and into a waste basket. But she
didn't hear his petulant scolding and
the paper futtered about unheeded.
She had an idea! She'd buy book
on handwriting, practice the style
of the best writing there and send
Ferris Black an application for
job-signed by Paul Weston.

ticed for hours on specimen print
