O'BRIEN. —————— Late in the afieraoon of the day that Henry Elton received from the chief bookkeeper a confirmation of his own idea that he had completed his | first million, he, Mr. Elton, remem- bered that he had forgotten some- { thing, “It was just twenty years ago to- day,” he said to one of his partners— and the partner pricked up his ears as if expecting orchestral accompani- ment—*“that 1 left Farmerstown. “It was a day just like this down in Maline, spring in the air, but not 8o much hellish noise. I haven't been back there since.” “Village turn out to say farewell to | young hero?" asked Mr. Henderson, who was the floor member of the bro- kerage firm and who from experience | on the exchange made it a habit to | omit superfluous language. “Nothing like that,” replied Elton. “Those who wished I'd make a fortune were those to whom my parents owed bills when they died, just a few weeks before. “The only on-the-level farewell I got was from Mary Sarre, the neighbor's daughter. She was all of fifteen. I| was only seventeen myself; only thirty-seven now, and an old man. And so sha's thirty-five, if she's alive.” “Were you strong for her?” inquired Mr. Henderson. It was his coarse way. calling on customers for more margin. “I think I was,” sald Elton. “Why haven’t you married her?” -———————__'_—Nm He never minced words, even in, pursued the blunt partner. “I bhaven’t had time,” sald Elton sharply. “I don’t know whether she’d marry me. [ don’t even know that she’s alive. Probably if 1 saw her coming this minute I'd run, scream- ing! “But if I had gone back in ten years and married her I probably would be better off. What have I got now? A million, according to the books; an apartment with a man servant who is a constant reproach; an automobile whose real owner, the chauffeur, won't let me jiggle the carburetor, and a case of occasional jumps, which the doctor calls the warning of nervous breakdown.” “That milion might have eome slight appeal to the lady,” sald Hen- derson, “if she 1s still free and as attractive as of yore. What was her juvenile idea of a triumphal return?” “She asked me,” sald Elton slowly and reflectively, “to come back hon- est and buy her the brooch in the gen- eral store.” “Ah, a taste for adornment,” com- mented Henderson. “Nothing beyond your present means, I trust.” “A plain little cameo thing,” laughed Elton, “with two faces on it and a square gold band around it. I think old Baxter wanted $8.76 for it; said the gold was 18-carat. We used to look at it almost every day. “I think,” continued Elton after a pause, “that I'll go to Europe. The market {8 dull and I'm tired.” “You'd better go to Maine,” sald Henderson. “Perhaps your chauffeur would consent to drive you there.” Four days later Elton entered Farm- erstown in six-cylinder triumph, No one seemed to know him and he was glad of it. The old church was there, and the old store, with a new garage squatting beside it. Baxter's had nof progressed much, Elton went in, bought three apples and asked to see collar buttons, While he trifled with the buttons he scanned the show case, He had in his pocket a solitaire wor thy of an assistant rajah’s bride, but he knew the value of the dramatic and he felt that if—well, if he wanted to say anything {mportant the brooch would be a help, The brooch was there and {t was still §8.75. Elton bought it “I wonder,” mused Elton as his car sped toward the house of James Sarre, “Just how long that brooch was in the store and how much the loss on It was at compound interest” Elton was spared the embarrass- ment of asking for Mary Sarre, She was coming out of the gate as he neared her father's house, He saw two things at a glance; that ( she was unmarried and very poor. He might have been able to tell you why he knew she was poor, but the art of learning at a glance whether a person one has not seen in twemy{‘ vears {s married or not is an art that | cannot be described—at least not here. | Nor did he, | when the car stopped heside her, need to br 18 Into play | ady of tb all, peli: ko 1ad piepured ind knew conversation fear that he her some one whom he | in the naray MANN Conservation On the Farm Practically every farm in this count would show a nice profit if the above ex. pressed idea could be and was carried oy with all its pessibilities. The great farg problems of today are many. Good fences and lots of them go a long toward solving ihe question of bigger profits. Then why not get in line and buy your fence from home people, who treat you right and ap. preciate your business.
