“But, my dear,” said Higby,
“ what earthly use have we for the
fork when we are boarding and
have no intention of* going to
housekeeping?”
“ But, don’t you see,” cried Mrs.
Higby, “I got the fork for 40
cents and the regular price every
where is $1.50, so there is a clear
gain of $1.10. Do you suppose,
James Higby, that I’ll lose a
chance of saving a whole $1.10?
Well, I guess not. It’s fortunate
that you have a saving wife, or I’d
like to know what would become
of you. I suppose you’d let some
one else save all that money.

information the judge cared to
give.
The reporter then called on Miss
Henderson’s parents, who would
