She has bought, sight unseen, a ranch located thirty miles away. Soon after, her ar- rival she marries Barry Duane, her nearest neighbor. Against her better judgment she accompanies her hus- band East. Mrs. Duane is bitterly re- sentful of Anne., Wealthy Oleo Pen - dieter', her obvious choice, vows re- venge. Anne recognizes a man loit- ering on the Duane grounds. Later Barry tells Anne Jaen Gage is the real head of the Duane .mills. He fails to note her frozen silence. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Of course it's all right. ought to have thought of it myself. But it won't hurt to be a little careful what you say when that little trick is a- round. $he sounds to me like a pret- ty smart young woman,'' Long before the day way enred Cleo lad formed her own opinion of the Gage family.

Jim Kennedy releasing tightened nerves, strolled down the shem to a local garage, and began tuning up his old car. Barry met his guests at Marston station.

"So you see it's a a real surprise," he added hastily, and turned apologetically to the other two. "I'm, frightfully sorry," he said, "but Mrs. Duane won't be able to re- ceive you. She was -;called away, on- ly a few days ago. It was very un- expected -and it had to happen at the wrong time, of course, I'll do my best to be both of us," "O -o -o -h!" said. Oleo softly. "You'll be a wonderful substitute, Barry, but it's a shame Nancy had to go." Her eyes were sparkling. . Damn Cleo, Barry ,thought moodily. Nancy might at least have sent him word' about that letter. That the let- ter had 'merely been another of Glee's little' fictions he could scarcely know. Nancy had let him down again Gage gave him a sharp look and said "To bad! Too bad!" in his gruff way. Barry was really grateful for the interruption of Cleo's clear voice. "Barry, you're terribly disappoint- ing.

"I'11 look after the luggage, M'r. Gage." "Your town looks a little tired, .but your air is great. I have an idea I'll be ready for the ham and egg's you promised me." From a sheltered point on a rocky hillside Anne sawthem go by. She wondered what she would have done with her days without Comet. Petry had brought him down the same day that she had left the Perch. "I guess he kinds belongs here, don't he? It ain't safe not to have any of gettin' out except on foot""' Comet' had brushed her with a vel- vet "muzzle and Anne had not had the heart to let him go. It was nearly dark when she un- saddled Comet and 'went up the famil- iar path to the little house. Home was lonely, Cnrce inside, she went about the business of preparing a meal. Not because she was hungry but because she must keep doing things. When the meal was over she wan- dered out again, looking up at the low bright stair. How long could she live' here?

The race in business is not to the swft, nor to the clever, nor to the brilliant man, but to the man who is Inost diligent -to the man who keeps on doing his plain duty. You are a retailer. You want to get on. You want to swell each day's sales. Well, you will sell more each day if y-ou ask! ask! ask! buyers to buy your goods. You canhardly go round canvassing homes and buyers face to face. This practice would be too costly, though undoubtedly would be effective. But you canuse newspaper advertising; in this way you can do your asking for business. You are 'not required by the buying public to do smart advertis- ing. The public doesn't like smart or clever adver- tising. The public just wants to be informed about what you have to sell; and if you will add reasons why the public should buy what you offer, then you will get more customers. The public wants informa- tion, and it won't object to a little urging. Spending .money is for themost persons quite a serious busi- ness, and so they like retailers' advertisements to be plain, straightforward st'atelnents of fact. - See that Our Readers Are Informed of What You.
