VT)L. XXXII.I IUII ’ Think it n * s Safe - S^^hTL^lJ, Under the carpet, in the teapot, behind the clock— none of those places are safe hiding spots for money, as is attested by news items that one sees frequently in the daily papers. Robbers and sneak thieves appear to know just where to look for the family hoard that is hidden about the house instead of being deposited in a bank, where it would be safe. Besides, banks pay interest on time deposits. Put your money at work for you in our bank where it will be safe. Farmers & Mercians Bank o cols • School continues to improve. There’s a reason. Mr. W.

I huve the dinner to attend to, and goodness knows It’s hard to get things these days without making preparations for an other guest. If he’d only written! All he had to do was to sit down a week ago and write—” "Now, mother, don't get all wor. rted,” pretty Barbara Hulden slipped an arm around her mother’s ample waist. “I know you’ve a thousand things to do, and Bob's coming makes It harder —but you Just go ahead and manage the dinner. I’ll tlx his room and everything.” "Bless your heart, dear, run along and get It ready. I’m always gald to see Bob—” Her speech was cut short by the abrupt exit of her daughter, who danced off up the-stairs, followed by her mother’s call. “Be sure and put out the smoking table! You know how Bob likes his pipe 1” “All right, mother dear —I will!’ And Barbara sped to the little room under the eaves that had been sacred to Bob Holliday since the time, two years ago, when he had first comf to their town to practice law and had taken up his residence under Mrs. Halden’s hospitable roof which declared almost offered comforts enough to make him forget that hf ever hud had any other home. Since that summer, when he hud saved Mrs. Halden’s little savings and her home from the clutches of a grasp lng syndicate of real estute sharks he had been like a son to the good woman. She had let him do very much as lie pleased around the house and had even hinted at his paying nc board, but Bob had Insisted on giving her what he termed a ridiculously In adequate sum each month. When success brought him fume and fortune he hud refused to take up oth er lodgings, claiming that he eujoyec the home cooking and the home asso clatlons of the little brown house neai the edge of the town more than ht could ever like the garish splendors of a hotel or the loneliness of bach elor apartments. For the past two months he had been traveling In the West on a big railroad cuse. Hls sudden wire, re ceived the <duy before Thunksglvlng had been the first apprlsal of his re turn that Mrs. Halden had had. Now as she busily arranged hei kitchen In preparation for the iuanu facturing of a dinner that should sur pass all her former efforts lu thui line, she blessed the chance thai brought “her boy,” as she called Bob home at the holiday season, while sh outwardly feigned great Irritation a his unceremonious announcement oj his return. Meanwhile, up In Bob's room, Bar bara was busily putting thing! straight, spreading clean linen on tilt bed, arranging the cover on the dress er, Beelng that the smoking table was supplied with matches and trays foi Bob’s ever present pipe, and generallj making things fresh and sweet for tin reception of her hero. For Barbaru Bob was a good deal of a hero, thougl she would hnrdly have confessed It even to herself. She attacked the dresser lust of all Intending to take out of the drawer! any odds and ends that might be li them and leave space for shirts, col lars and other articles of mascullnj apparel. The big lower drawers were empty and beyond a quick glance In searct of truant dust she did nothing tc them; but one of the smull top draw ers stuck obstinately In the manner of some drawers. She gave a hard tug; the wood remained obdurate; she set her teeth and pulled violently. The next moment she was sitting on the finor with the recalcitrant drawer upside down In her lap and a lot of odd-looklng papers scattered about. With u little laugh and a shrug at her awkwardness she rose and stooped to gather up the papers. As she picked up one scrap, larger than the others, she huppened to glance at it, and something that was written on the top gripped her attention. With the blood dyeing her cheeks, she reud: “To Barharu.” Below were some lines of poetry. She reud them through. They were not so good, as poems go; In fact, there were spots where the meter halt ed and staggered, and the rhymes were not above criticism; but to the heart of the girl who read them, they were more beautiful than any words of the greatest singers of all time. For there In written words was ex pressed the love of a man for a inuld—- the love of Bob, her hero, for her— for herself, Barbara Halden! She read (lie verses through. Then, with the blood dyeing her cheeks, she hastily thrust the paper Into the bosom of her dress. Bob—Bob loved her! He bad never spoken, but the verses spoke for him. And she —she knew It now—she had loved him ever since he had come to the house. Her heurt sang a paean of thunksglvlng that at last she knew. And he was coming In on the evening train! The 7:25 bore to the tow n a hand some young inun who hastened from the station to Mrs. Ilalden's house In Hie nearest taxi. He was greeted with n IMILj 11 fr The Next Moment She Was Sitting on the Floor. effusion mingled with repronch by the good woman and by a girl who had formerly rushed to greet him with a glad cry and outstretched hand, but who now shyly stood hack and blushed at his hearty clasp. And Boh, looking keenly at her with his eyes trained to reud human faces and learn the thoughts beneath the masks, realized that she knew —and grew red and em barrassed beneath her glance. It was not till after the late sup per that they had a chance to talk. And the first words that Boh said as he sat alone with Barbara In Mrs. Maiden’s tiny living room were: “How did you know?" “I—l—oh, Bob, forgive me!” Bar bara was almost In tears. His arm around her shoulders as sured her of his forgiveness. And tliva, with averted eyes. Bar bara repented a few lines of the verses she read. A few only, for Bob’s lips on hers stopped her before she had gotten farther than the first "I love you.’’ "I knew I’d left those foolish verses behind,” said Bob after a time, "But I never dreamed you’d find them." “It was an accident,” replied Bar barn, happily. “But oh, Bob deur, I’m so glad it happened!” And Mrs. Halden, coming In to wish them good-night and a happy Thanks giving, said, when she had recovered from her surprise, that she was glad, too.
