Mis Idea was to induce Mr. Steele to remove to a bouse he would select, pay tin* rent only, nnd he and Vinnie wotitti see to tin* rest as to household expenses and taking care of the children. Mr. Steele opposed this, but Trescott hoped if he could raise the money to establish the new home he could lie won over. Mr. Steele had 11 half broth er tn a distant section in Canada to whom he had written. The crying need of this relative, according to his ! ow n statement, was to have help. All hands would count, even the children, about the farm, and they would be assured a living if nothing more. "I shall have to go where father does," Vinnie told Trescott in a subdued, xlghftil way. “It is my duty.” Trescott said nothing, but the next day took the train for Duluth. When tie reached the place where he had started Frank in business he found that the latter had sold out his supplies and had gone with a band of strolling players, leaving 0 number of debts behind him. Trescott assumed | the responsibility for these, and when i ho came buck to Clifton was sorrowed j at having to disclose the bad news to i Vinnie, and knew there was now no way to provide the new home fcA had
counted upon.
