He had always predicted great things In store for Hopeville. Never a village of fairer location and environment. i A rare trout stream bounded one of its limits, a dream of a lake bounded another. There were hills, dales and lovely undulating meadows, a thrifty farming community surrounding, and the town people ideui, morally, social- ly and as to their municipal harmony. “Some day Hopeville will forge to the front,” was his optimistic slogan —"some day values will go up, and each man come into his own.” When the new railroad was taiked of, old residents began to boost their acres and town lots as to values. Enormous fortunes were figured out. In fancy they saw a busy traffic, crowds of summer visitors, picnick- ers from the city, scattered farm trade centered at the new shipping OUR FALL LINE Of Hart Schaffner and Marx Clothing has just arrived.

Hopes rose high, then they were correspondingly depressed, for the ra.droad made a detour, and By- ron, quite a busy little city eight miles distant, was made the terminus of the new branch line railway. “Wish I'd settled there as I intend- ed to ten years ago!" grumbled dis- loval and disagreeable Jared Bross. “There's some go to Byron. I don't care if they do encourage a riff-raft crowd—stir and sensation bring in the dollars, don't they?” “But we don’'t want the dollars that way,” insisted Dawes. “We go in for schools, and rationa! amusements, and clean, Lealthy children. Do you ever find any riotous crowds in Hopeville? No, sir!” Bross had a strong personal reason for being disgruntled with Hopeville. | Outfitter The Hart Schaliner & Marx Clothing I The Hub ..

He took no back water on the buoyant predictions of past years. He looked quite dazzled as he spoke of the golden stream of good fortune now knocking at their doors. And then they drank the toast. And then most everybody made a grimace, set down the unfinished iibation, and looked queer. “Something the matter with the wa- ter, friends?” smiled Dawes. “That's the merit of it. It is Hopeville water, though not from the home well.

Property and rents would go up! The town stores would quadruple their business! The rich golden harvest was coming at last! “But what about this horrible tast- ing water?” queried Bross, with a| wry face. “Pronounced by chemists the most healthful beverage in the world,” g boasted Dawes proudly, “a true min- ! ; eral water.
