IN HONOR BOUND By RALPH HAMILTON
* OIL ROMANCE NEARS ITS END
(Copyright. l^^O, Western Newspaper Uuioli) Two incident* in the life of Eleanor Price stood out vividly and made an impri -s mid led to results Hint tinged her i nt!ii- rancr. She Ii \i-d in a little suburb, making her home " itli a widow in poor I’in-tlinstani es. The first episode occurred one stormy winiry day about dusk. Eleanor had ealhd for mail at Hie village post office on tier way I nme. and had got a few vi.ids down the street "ben site noticed a little green roll lying on tlie snow. It wa* money—seventeen debar*. Eleanor returned to tfie pest otfire and posted a notice teiliii;; that the owner of a stmt of money found near by could recover tlie same by telephoning to her home. It was less than an hour later when there came a call from a wnninn living at tlie other end of the town. She named the amount lost, which had dropped out of a letter she had received and asked Hint the finder come at once with Hie money, but Mrs. Woods, Eleanor’s landlady, had a sick child and Eleanor helped her do up the dishes and then started out. It was no pleasant stroll, hut. Eleanor thinking of Hie usual custom in such cases, fervently hoped that Hie lady might give her a small reward for her trouble. She rang the doorbell of Hie house where she at length arrived. A sour-faced woman confronted her, holding the door grudgingly ajar. “If you arc Mrs. Cole, I have come to bring you your lost money,” said Eleanor. The woman almost snatched at It with Hie words: “Well, you didn't burry yourself, did you? It's too late to send for my groceries now," and closed Hie door in Eleanor's face. Tlie hurt and astonished girl stood dumbed for a moment. "I declare. I'll never try to do n kind net agnin!” scolded Eleanor, but she knew the next minute that she did not mean what she said—less than ever win n reaching I nine, her landlady consoled her with honest sympathy and the prediction: "You'll get ymn reward somewhere along Hie line, deary.” The propfii’oy oume true. Eleanor's task at the mail order establishment of Elston (x <’o, was to fold and mail advertising <lrcnlnrs. Her pay was poor, but tbc following Saturday noon when she got home and opened her pay envelope, besides the ten dollars she received weekly, caught to the lowermost hank note with a fragment of paste was a twenty dollar bill. At once Eleanor reasoned If out that, the cashier had made a mistake. Eater that evening when she found her simple hearted landlady in tears because the owner of Hie premises bad demanded bis rent, Eleanor wished the twenty dollar bill was truly her own to relieve the distress of the poor woman. The cashier smiled In a strange way as Eleanor on Monday morning toe i; the bill tn Ids window. "We have found out already u shortage In our rash," he said, "hut you "ill have to go to Mr. Bartley El bon about this." lie was the son of the owner of the business and Eleanor liked him. He had spok n to her courteously several tinn s. He smiled tip at her from Ids oliiee chair as, timid and tlutti ring. Eleatioi recited Hie circumstances of the ease. "You will retain the money. If you please, Mi-* I’rlee," lie observed, “'f ile profit and loss account was brought till to date Saturday night, and we cannot alter our h.ilaneinow. I’.y the way, "e need n new girl to take charge of our tnall department, lie you think you could systematize it?” “I could try,” replied Eleanor. "The salary I* considemble of an Increase oyer what you have been ea ruing. The happiest hour Eleanor had ever known was hers when that evening siie Insisted on binning tlie twenty dollars to her landlady to help her oiii with the rent. "You are just a sweet, dear angel of mercy!" sobbed the woman feelingly. ‘Til lake it. hut you shall have it hack very soon. I wrote to my hi’other In another city last night and lie "ill be sure to send me some money." It was Just after noon the next day when Eleanor received a summons to gn to young Mr. Elstons oliiee. She feared she had be« u found lacking in eligibility for her new position. There sat her landlady, engaged in congenial conversation with Mr. Elston. "Mrs. Woods wishes me to rush a cheek, Miss I’rlee," he spoke. "A* a matter of form you will Identify her, I suppose?” “i Hi, surely!" replied Eleanor. ’’It’s a check from my brother, deary." explained Mrs. Woods, "and needing it ensiled, not knowing but you bad borrowi-H tlie twenty dollars for me. ble -s your kind, true heart 1 I have told Mr. Elston all about jour goodness in me." Eleanor blushed under the sincere encomiums of her grateful friend more Hum ever ns she noted the rapt glance of Hartley Elston fixed iidmir Ingly upon her. It wus a day Inter that she learned that the overpay test had been applied to every girl In the employ of the house and only three out of ten had proven honest. Flic understood her promotion now. It was a month Inter, when, after seeing her tn the train several time*. Hartley Elston asked I er to become id* wife.

And because the paintings wtll lie somewhat exposed to weather, the paint was mixed with wax. in a way which chemical analysis shows was done to weatherproof painting when Hie ancient kings of Egypt were erecting memorial buildings.
