The Promoter’s Wife
By JANE PHELPS
(Coiyright, George Mathew Adams.)
TO DO RIGHT BRINGS PEACE
AND HAPPINESS
CHAPTER CXXVI.
THE summer came and went.
Our garden was a constant
source of pleasure as well as profit.
Robert helped me before and after
school and through the vacation with
my flowers so they also were cared
for as they should be. Neil rose early
and worked an hour in the garden
before he went into town. He was
happier, healthier than he had been
since the first years of our marriage
and did not hesitate to say so. We
bought a lot and were paying for it
as fast as possible. We had decided
upon a plan for our house, and were
so happy over it that we often laugh
ed at ourselves for being so foolish.
‘Just like a couple of kids,’ Neil de
clared.
Ned Rayburn had bought the lot
next us, and they would also build
a house which would look well next
to us. I had cautioned them about
building too elaborately or we would
be dwarfed. Many evenings that win
ter we gave to talking of our new
home, of our plans for Robert and
his little sister, who had arrived in
the late autumn and whom Robert
adored.
Neil was making good in adjust
ing the affairs of the business, “get
ting it on its fefeS again,” he said.
Mr. Frederick had not come east for
months. He left everything to Neil.
This entire confidence he displayed
did more to give Neil back his self
respect than any other thing could
have done. He was growing brighter
more like his old self. Some of the
boyishness was noticeable at times,
and I fairly gloated over it. It was
the old Neil I had married coming
back to me ,the best part of him
By spring we had paid for the lot,
and started building. What a con
stant source of pleasure it was to
watch that little home grow. Every
night when dinner was over, Neil
and I walked over to see what had
been accomplished during the day.
It made no difference that I had ta
ken Elsie in her go-cart over in the
morning . I was just as interested
in going again. It seemed to me that
never was a home so longingly look
ed for, so eagerly awaited as was
that six room house on Long Island.
We were to pay a little down, then
some as rent, the rest on a mortgage
which Ned Rayburn had taken at 5
per cent. That made it easy for us
and allowed us to buy what was
necessary to furnish it. We moved in
for Christmas. And never were two
people more thankful than were Neil
ard I.
“It’s quite different from the New
York home, Bab,” he said on Christ
mas morning. It was our present to
each other.
“But I shall love It far more, Neil.
We are going to be so happy here.
And when it is all paid for we will
buy better furniture. One piece at
a time until we have it to our lik
ing.” „
“What a little executive you are,”
he answered smiling and bending
down to kiss me. “Here is a letter
from Frederick. I forg*bt it for a
moment. The postman just left it.”
We stood together as he opened
it. I read it with him, then he read
it aloud while we both let fall a
few grateful tears.
“Dear Friends: I wish you a very
merry Christmas. I have planned for
you to receive this on that day. I
enclose a contract for next year sot
you Forbes 5 and a’check for the wife
and children. Buy them something
they want but don’t really need. Bar-
Catarnh Cannot Be Cured

Hall’s Fami’y PiUs for constip
bara has gone without the pretty
things women love so long, get her
something really foolish—as she may
think. Now I have something to tell
you. Robert said I should be third
with him because I had no boy of
my own. I shall look after him, his
education, etc. And if he outlives me
make him my heir. I shall never mar
ry.” There was much more, but of
interest only to us, until the close
when he said:
“Many men have gone through the
deep water, Forbes, you among them
But I am proud to call you friend:
proud to have you associated in busi
ness with me. Experience is a hard
teacher, but sometimes her work is
so well done that one forgets that
hardness in time because of the re
sults. I believe you are a better, a
bigger man, because of what happen
ed.” Then he wished us all a merry
Christmas and closed.
, “Hadn’t you better look at the
contract?” I asked as Neil stood
holding it in his hand. It was for ten
thousand dollars, ‘because you are
worth it to the business, not because
of friendship,’ he added so making
Neil supremely happy. The check for
Robert and me was for five hundred
dollars. I wanted to put it toward the
house, but Neil said “no” he would
buy me the brooch I had so admired
in a jeweler’s window the last time
I was in town. And for Robert he
bought him a meccano outfit he had
long desired intensely.
“Right living, doing all one can
seems to bring its own reward,” Neil
said as we sat together after the
children were in bed. “I thank God
every day of my life that he gave
me the chance to be a man in spite of
my mistakes.”
“And I. thank Him for you ,my ba
bies, and my happy home,” and so
we bade each other good night on
our first Christmas in our new home.
A happy, thankful man and woman;
a loving husband and wife.

I HAVE AN OIL LEASE located
in the best shallow field district in
the United States. Several oil wells
adjoin this property, therefore, it
looks like a sure shot for oil and
should be drilled immediately. I am

duce oil that I am perfectly willing
to offer it free for dialling with the
understanding that unless you bring
in a fine oil well you need not buy
it. Nothing could be fairer as I guar
