The letter from the lawyer at Boone- | ville says I am sole legatee. I'm go-] 3‘ ing to give up my job here. I'm going to enjoy life and luxuriate, and _also: !you. I've got some literary ideas-—! | you shall jot them down as they come ' | to me.” | | “Seehere, Winfield," said blunt, prac- | ( tical Horace, “I'm friend enough of | yours to give you some advice. Don't drop your position until you find out | what your cousin has left you. Don't | begin spending your fortune before | you know what it amounts to.” | “Oh, I'm quite sure it must be some- thing substantial,” insisted the opti- mistic Winfield Grey. “Anyhow, I want you to run down with me to Booneville till I take possession of the estate. I'll pay your expenses and for your time.” Horace was willing. He was unem- ployed just now. It was his own fault. He had worked for three years for a local firm—mean, stingy and unap- preciative. He found this drudgery un- promising and resigned. Now his idea ! 24 ! noon, to report to Dora and start in | !l the same train, also homeward bound, | ¥ | | inheritance came out. 1 can’t use the place., See here, Hor- ! ace,” he added, turaing to his friend, “Pm sick and tired of this whole business. I'm ashamed to go back home. I have a brother out West pretty well fixed. I think I'll just go ' out and try my luck with him.” “But you might get something out of | the place here,” suggested Horace. “Not much, I fancy,” submitted the man who owned the land. “My lease holds, and of course you forfeit the building if you don’t pay the ground rent. The only way to get anytmng‘ out of it is to lease the building to some one, or start in business in it." | “Well, Horace, I've fooled away your time. Come back to the lawyer’s and I'll give you a bill of sale of it. I won't bother with the proposition,” de- termined Grey. . “I'll do it, and work something out | of it,” said Horace. “I'm thinking | hard. I believe I see a way to use that building. Name a price, give me | time to pay you and I'll try the specu- | lation.” : “Nonsense! I'll give it to you.” Finally, however, Grey consented to take a note for $50. Then he left on ] the next train for the West. Hornce‘ went back to the shop. He had a talk with the landowner, got some new' ideas and looked over the inside. He found one of the barrels @lled with plumbers supplies, tite other with a babbitt metal composition. Then he sought out a local plumbing establish- ment and sold the stuff for $75. “Those signs,” he reflected. next day they disappeared. “What you done with the signs?” asked the curious land owner. “Sold 'em,” replied Horace. “You see, one I got rid of to that plumber at the other end of the town. Then I sawed off the P on the second and 4 lumber man took it. Taking off the ! P and L left ‘Umber.’ Well, that! struck a paint shop man. There's a | shoemaker named Blum a little ways | down the street. I sawed out his name for him. Everybody happy and I'm $42 ahead.” “You'll do!" chuckled the land- owner, much amused and interested. “Say, we talked about your starting a little repair shop. I like your ways and I'll finance the proposition on shares.” “Done!” announced Horace prompt- ly and took the train home that after- The on his new independent business ca- reer.

Dora Wayne, to whom he was en gaged, had scolded him gently for giv- ing up a small but steady income, but Horace was ambitious and energetic. So Horace started with Grey for Booneville, a little city about fifty miles distant.
