I MARRYING JASPER I— — I I By AGNES G. BROGAN. Professor Carleton glanced up from i hfs desk impatiently as the study door opened. His Impatience changed to mild resignation as he perceived the tall figure of his elder sister enter the room. "Yes, Hephzibah,” he meekly inquired. "Jasper.” she said, "the time has Come when I must relieve myself of the care of your household. I urn growing too old for the responsibility.” Professor Carleton ran hfs fingers perplexedly through his thick graying . hair, beneath It ills still young eyes gazed back distressed. ! "Well, Hephzibah," he said at last, "you are justified In your determinaI tion. Martha will have to look after me as best she can.” "Martha,” his sister explained, “is going with me. She is used to my ways and will need no training. You must make other plans for yourself.” "Plans!” gasped her brother. “What plans can I make concerning a household, Hephzibah, when I have always 1 depended upon you?" i | "That’s just the trouble,” his sister . remarked, "you have depended too long., There is but one solution, you must find yon a wife.” “A wife?” The professor blinked; If he bad not been always absorbed In books be might have realized that discouragement of this very possibility had always been his sister’s purpose. At last to Hephzibah had come the solution: Prudence Winters, daughter of Professor Winters, deceased, should be chosen as the fortunate woman. , True, Prudence was by several years ■ Jasper’s senior, but did not Jasper’s ! advanced brain fit him to be suitably i the companion of an older woman? | ' And in Prudence the sister found all ! those virtues desired. So quietly she ’ answered her brother's question. I “A wife certainly is the solution of your problem, and because your mind has been occupied with other matters, Jasper, I have thought the thing out for you. You must pay respectful attention to Prudence Winters. She Is a woman who would make you entirely happy!” “Is not Prudence,” the professor asked disapprovingly “that thin woman with the tired-looking face?" "Faces,” his sister severely remark- , ed, "should no longer influence your choice. Practical worth is now your necessary consideration.” I “But I’m not so old,” Jasper demurred. “I have still a good many years before fifty.” Hephzibah fixed her cold eyes upon him. "You have my suggestion,” she said, , and arose. “What do you wish me to do?” the brother asked uneasily. "For the sake of your own future comfort I advise you to pay your addresses as soon as possible to Prudence Winters.” Hephzibah said, and passed from the room. 'j Undecidedly the professor fingered ■ his hat. His sister had spoken ; soon she and Martha would leave him alone 1 In his helplessness; perhaps after all I her plans might be worth considers* ; tion. Jasper had learned to have con- | fidence in Hephzibah’s judgment. Slowt ly he passed down the street to Prudence Winter’s home, but when he re- - turned his face was gloomy. ' I Hephzibah’s lips twisted in the near- ; est approach to a smile. k "Well?” she asked, “you found Prudence at home —and a worthy person?" j “As a housekeeper," her brother - dryly replied, "Prudence Is doubtless - unexcelled.” “You must go again,” his sister advised. “Next time you will also discover that she has brains.” And obediently Jasper went the sec- ' ond time. His countenance upon his return seemed somewhat brighter. . "You stayed longer this evening.” J Hephzibah said hopefully, "you discovered the brains.” “She has her interesting side,” the brother admitted, but thereafter he appeared to need no further urging. Jasper now often sat smiling fatuously into vacancy—and to fancy one’s self in love with a Prudence Winters— I Hephzibah thought—must take imag- > (nation indeed! She was interrupted In her reflections by the unexpected appearance of a young woman In the ■ doorway. , I "How de do," remarked the young woman breezily. ‘I rang, but no one ' answering, and the door being open, I , wn’lced down through the hall. “You are Hephzibah, aren’t you? I’d know it.” The young woman smiled ' and dimpled. “Jazz sent me in for his cap,” she said, “the wind blows his hat so in the car. And he said I'd better introduce ntyself —you'll have to know me better later. We are on our way to be married." Hephzibah arose dazedly. "Jazz?” she repeated, “married? ?Vbst do you mean?" I The lovely girl laughed. 1 “Jazz —that’s what I call Jasper." she exclaimed. “I met him at Aunt Prue’s a month ago. She’s going with us now to the parsonage where we are to be married. ‘ 4 Jazz was afraid to tell you about it for fear you wouldn’t approve of me—” i Impulsively the girl caught Hephzibah's wrinkled hands in her warm ' ones. ! “Oh! come along with us,” she said. "He will be so pleased.” And to her own astonishment —Hephzibah went.

Decide on a Titan One thing that stands out in farming with power the country over is the low cost of operating ,a tractor that runs successfully on kerosene and other low-grade fuels. The fact has become so apparent in the last year or two that we think you must have been doing a little quiet figuring to see just what you are losing in time, labor and money by not haviing d tractor’especially built to operate on low-priced, economy fuels. Remember that the Titan 10-20 Tractor is designed ami built with but one purpose in view delivering its full rated horse power and doing good serviceable drawbar and belt work at all loads within its capacity, on kerosene or any oil fuel down to 39 degrees Baume. You know what kerosene costs compared to gasoline. 'Hie difference in the present prices 'of these fuels represents a saving of from fifty to sixty per cent in the cost of fuel to a Titan owner. What higher recommendation can a tractor have than demonstrated ability to deliver al all times, in all seasons, low-cost, dependable power al drawbar and bell? The Titan does that. We want a chance to show you plainly just why it does. Let us remind you again that Titan tractors are safe tractors to buy. Come in and get thoroughly posted. Read over the printed folders and study the tractor. Decide on a Titan investment. I I Lee Hardware Company
