I found I was very near an actor’s tent and felt rather pleased at the idea of hearing some of their talk from the inside. But soon this half superior feeling was swept away by the soft, tearful sound of a woman's voice—a young voice—touched with childish indecision. l “It is not so,” she sald. “Jekko 4 Country Cured Hams 1b 21 ) ” “ " Picnic Hams Ib 18¢ Breakfast Bacon Ib [25¢ “Ask for Red Wing Grape Juice” "~ "The Pure Juice Pure Food Store W.

He had money lent out, and the interest om it, to- gother with the dollars he made as a notary and other ways, kept the little femily going in nice shape, There was 0o usury in lending the money, and if the borrower couldn't retura it on the date recorded he was granted more time, Mr. Forbush paid his debts if he mwade any, had a pew in church, and never wrangled with his neighbors about religion or politics. He went around very quietly, smiling at all and there wasn't a baby in the town with less guile than he, judging by his face. In his home life he' was a loving father and a fond husband. One might as well look for thunder without clouds as for such a man to scheme, and against his own family at that, As Miss Jennie Forbush was by far the handscmest girl in the town she had plenty of admirers. She wasn't a girl tv be won by money, but as she would get little or nothing from her father it was only natural that she should do a bit of thinking now and then. Ecarce one of the young men about her could have s*own a hundred It’s nice to be in love, landlords expect their rent, and gro- cers and butchers must be paid. Mr. Forbury could not help but know that his daughter was sought for, but he was only mildly interested. Or:ce in awhile he and his wife talked the raitter over a bit and went as far as to hope that Miss Jennie would make a gecd match, but they said very tiitle to her on the subject. They did rot know when or how young Gilbert Ui le came into the ficld, and the daughter did not enlighten them. Gilbert Dale’s father was a re spected eitizen of a town ten miles away. The son wasn't respected sc much. He was twenty-three years old, and staid old members of the com- munity in which he lived held up their hands in horror when he came racing by in his auto, or they heard that he had participated in another wine supper. Nothing at all vicious about him, but just going the pace *till something should happen to bring him up short. An old hen and a young man must turn around a few times before yhey can settle down, In due time young Dale got a part of what was coming to him. He was racing his auto a'ong a country road all alone, and nacting as Ms own chauffeur, when the machine suddenly swerved and he was thrown out to roll down the bank and into a river where the chances of a stunned man for be Ing drowned were nine out of ten. Miss Jennie Forbush was no heroine, Bhe had never even scratched the kero sene can from the hands of her moth. er as the latter was about to hurry up the fire. If she had ever even read of heroines she had not sighed 10 be one. Yet, when the critical moment came she went at it as If she had played the part many seasors.
