PLANTING PENNIES By ADA MAY ROWLAND. :éooyfllm, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) “Hello, Hal—anything wrong?” “Nothing but what money can cure.” “H’'m!” observed the first speaker as he proceeded on his way. “I don’t like that sentiment, and I always thought that Hal Sturges was the last man in the world to entertain such a fallacy.” The soliloquizer, however, did not know that his usually bustling, hope- ful young friend was under a pretty severe strain at the present time. Hope, ambition, love, seemed all about to wither away because of money and its urgent need. Many years previous Hal's father had loaned David Eastman a large sum of money. Things went wrong with Eastman. Then they went bet- | ter. He was honest and he turned over to his creditor his little mort- gaged farm at Grayton, with the pro- viso that he was to be its tenant at a fixed rental while he lived. Finally Eastman wrote to Hal's father that he would be able to square the whole debt, some ten thousand dollars, with- in a year. Hal's father died before the year was up. Hal wrote to Mr. Eastman, asking what the prospects as to the promised money might be. He re- ceived a speedy reply, stating that if he would come down to Grayton the | old account would be settled in cold | cash. Hal arrived at Grayton to find that ' Mr. Eastman had died the day before. f A search was made for a will. None was found. For money. There was | none at bank nor in the house. Only | the old farmhouse was in evidence as tangible property. ! It was a great disappointment to Hal, all this. He had confidently counted on the money to start 1n business. He had already invested 1n I that direction. This became a dead | loss. He had to go back to a poor | paying position in the adjoining town. Then, too, a situation evolved at the FOTTTEPTFOTTSDFFTEIITI S PP IPFIITECIOFIE IR IFOFONaE0 O little farm that distressed him. Dur-| " ing the last year of his life Mr. East- man had given a home to an orphan girl and her little sister—Nellie’and Lois Blynn. ° The young lady had been housekeeper and nurse for her old almoner. He had given her a cow. | some chickens, and the old farm horse | and carryall. Independently Nellie' had worked up quite a clientele for milk and eggs in the neighboring vil- lage. Usually, Saturdays he ran down to the farm. Upon the day that he felt that money would cure a great proportion of his ills, Hal was realizing how slow was the process in his present environment towards attaining a com- petence. Unknowingly, the vague| thought of being able to ask Nellie to become his life partner had a certain place in his aspirations. He was greeted at the farm by Nel- lie in her usual bright sympathetic mood. He stayed to supper. As usual he gave to little big-eyed, wistful Lois, the few pennies he never begrudged ' her. “You mustn’t do that, Mr. Sturges,” chided Nellie Gently, as the little one scampered away, “Why not?” challenged Hal, pleas- antly. “Because she seems to lose them all. It is strange, but she never asks | to go to the village and buy sweet- . meats, like ordinary children. The pennies always disappear mysteri- ously and she never tells where they go to.” “Perhaps she has a secret hoarding place?” suggested Hal, with a smile. He left Nellie and strolled through the orchard in quest of the truant child. Finally he caught sight of her blue frock over near a fence corner. “Why, what are you up to, little one?” propounded Hal, Lois looked up with a little an- swering frown, “Not very nice, being peek-a-boo on & young lady!” she chided, childishly. “If you want to know, though, I'm planting pennies!” “Planting pennies!” ejaculated the bafled Hal. “Yes, | they chinked. him. Hal eagerly mind. now propound.” MRS. H. M. COWLES, P: renovated, and every Clean, Comfortable First-class. Invited.
