Isn't worth It ITI pay yoa

"Ill, there!" called the garage mna
suddenly. "Where's that sister of
yours?Bet Janet She promised te
start In cooking for me today."
" 'Lows your pocketbook don't open
wide enough," growled the man, with?
oat turning.
"I offered her fifteen a week*
snapped the garage man, "which la
big wages here for ? cook, as two ?
day Is more than you will ever let
yourself earn."
"Mebbe," Indifferently. "But yon
need Bet an* me pretty bad. so yoult
pay or do thout"
"Do 'thout, then," grimly. "But

X won't lend another cent or peck of
potatoes to shift

"That"? what

the car. Tin la
a bole, and they
know It So they
try to rob me.
Ton see, the rail
road pians to
start a town here..
Begnn two yenrs
ago, and I bit
hard. I had some
money, and pat
ap this place, which pays very
well. Then I built a restaurant, which
would pay fine if I could get help.
And as If this wasn't enough??"
Then he seemed to remember they
hadn't paid him for supplies, and he
stopped short. More shiftless people 1
The car owner stepped from Ms
running board, holding out a quarter i
between his fingers.
"That's for the gallon of gas I asked t
for," he said. "I knew I had that. But
you remarked It was fifty tatles to tho
next filling station, which probably t
didn't know, and you would better put
In five. And yon added two quarts
of oil, and tightened a screw or two.
So 1 held my breath, hoping I could
scare up a forgotten dollar In some
pocket. But I've hunted everywhere,
and It Isn't to be found. So show me
that woodpile at two a day, or cord.
Where Is the wood?"
His wife followed from the car.
*Tm a good cook. If I do say It,"
she laughed. 'Til take that fifteen
dollar Job." I
The girl followed.
"If it's gotng to be a family baMt,"
she nodded,. "I may as well try restau
rant waiting. And why, yes," as
though suddenly remembering, "tomor
row'? New Year's,
? good time for a
family setting
out on different
lines."
"Leaving only
me," chuckled a
keen-eyed, half
grown boy,
?springing to tha
ground, "guess
I'll have to offer
at on Tthin g.
Guess that New
Tear business
might fit me, too."
"Bow, wow,
wow," protested a
colli?. Jumping
down from tha
ear. The gara ga man's eyes glistened. I
He laughed.
"All right, air," ha agreed. "We
won't forget the dog. Just the police
man we want here at night Too many
tough tramps pounding the raUroad
tlea these days. Pot him on our pay
roll, sure. But look here," to the car
owner, but sweeping his gase to In
clude the others, "do you mean all
thin, Just when rm needing you ao
much, or Is It only for an hour or two
to straighten youraelf out?"
"Far as I'm concerned, Td like to
stay qnlte a spell," declared the wom
an. "I want to rest. Been going
steady now for most nine weeks.
Start the New Tear right, and mebbe
Ml stay right."
