CHAPTER LX. T was on Saturday—so Jack could belp—the second week in December that we moved into the new house; “The House That Jack Built,” I called tt.

At firgt I would figure up that I had spent each time I went on a | shopping expedition for the house, nd also what our weokly installment would amount to. But I soon discon- | tinued it, thinking we were to have |the things anyway. | Jack had made one or two little trades that Senator Crispen had ad- vined; just enough he said, “to keep jour heads above wa’ We were ‘now reduced to our original capital of a thousand dollars to margin any trades we might make. Jack had tried to keep a little more, but it had seemed imposaible, We could not heat the house, Something was radically wrong, but as Jack had had no contract, and we had to pay for any changes, we concluded to walt a little, before hav- ing it attended to, But when Jack | jr. took a heavy cold, and the doctor talked of pneumonia, Jack had the heat fixed at once, It cost nearly one hundred and fifty dollars before it was | satisfactory. sarlving ina cestricted section, our livelihood naturally was expensive, We had no stores, #0 that all of my marketing was done over the tele- phone.

In other words, this pole, placed in Trinity churchyard, would tower five fret above the summit of the Trinity Building.

A problem that Is atill to he aolved 9: Will any wind, short of an Equinoc- tial gale, be strong enough to fill thet folds of the giant flag and whip It out straight?
