He had wired to Paul- ine, paid his bill, and departed. He hardly knew what he felt, or if he felt nothing at all, but he was con- scious of a burningdesire for the sun to cease shining He felt like a man who had been absorbed in watch- ing some unreal drama on the stage and who now walks out again in the sane light of day.

She was watch- ing him with bright eyes. "Did shr tell you, Dennis?" "Nc. What did you write to her about?" Pauline smiled mysteriously. "I'll tell you tomorrow — when we're back in our own home;" and then, with a tug at his hand, "Oh, Den- nis, it's like heaven to have you back again!" She was such a child, Dennis thought, as he listened to her chat- ter. Iter eyes danced, and she leaned her cheek against him for a moment. "I believe you're really glad to have me back," she said "I am—very glad." They were on the porch now, AO the cab they had taken fuer the station was driving away down the road.

That is the establishing between man and man, whether competitor or not, -whether rich -or poor, whether high or low degree in the community, a spirit of co-operation, good will and mutual helpfulness. It is be- coming daily more evident that much !note can be accomplished, and 'much better conditions established, if men will work in harmony; if they will help and support each other; if they will so conduct their •affairs as to be reasonably fair to all with whom they may have .business dealings. • The principle can best be exemplified, so far as business and professional men are concerned, by extending to each other in any 'community such business patronage as we' may have to hand out, ,rather than to extend such favors to those from distant towns or cities. Give to your home business houses all the patronage you possibly can. WHEN IN NEED OF PRINTED MATTER OF ANY KIND 'CONSULT iiint ciSmit
