SOMETHING TO SELL

By Francis A. Corey CopyrigLt, 1006, by W. K. Caldwell

At the ringing of the dxrbt-Il a blush

blended suddenly with the happy smile

on Elizabeth Melleu'3 Hps. It was Teddy Davenport, of course! Hadn't

he called regularly at this hour of the afternoon for weeks ami weeks?

"I'm so glad you've come, Teddy,"

she cried, giving him both her hands.

She always had for hh:i this warm.

impulsive greeting. But Davenport

was not responsive for ouee. The sleu-

der, jeweled hands were quickly re

leased. His lips wore no answering

smile. There was a new line ia his

face. "Something has gone vrrocg, Teddy,"

she said in her quick, direct way.

"Yes." "Is it so very, very bad?" "As bad as it well can be," he groaned. Elizabeth paled a little. Teddy was not one to take alarm at nothing. But instead of asking what troubled him she drew a little nearer and said: "Let the unpleasant news wait. I want to talk of something ele. Yesterday we were debating whether we would announce our engagement at once or not until next month. Why not settle the (motion now?" "That's the very thing I came to talk about 1" he exclaimed. Then he went on hurriedly, before she could make any response. "Elizabeth; I'm glad now that we took no one into our confidence. 'Twill make things easier and better for you. You are no weakling; you may as well have the truth straight out. I very much fear that everything will have to be given up." She looked at him for a moment as if stunned. "What what do you mean?" "You know, dear, nearly my whole fortune was put Into Lookout mine. I so wanted to double it. Then I'd be as rich as you. A man likes to have as much money as the woman he weds. So I took a desperate risk. Everything promised well at first, but I've just had

EE STAKED HARD AT THE nALP DOZEN EKXTMEXTS. a wire from headquarters. The mine has gone smash water, you see utterly worthless. Nobody would take it as a gift."

"Oh, Teddy, I'm so sorry!" she said. J "Of course it means financial ruin. I'll have to begin again at the bottom i of the ladder. It may take years to work my way up. It would be unjiist to you to ask you to wait. I will not do it. I give you back your promise. You are tree." A sudden trembling of the white lips showed what the words cost him. The look on his haggard face went to Elizabeth's heart. She was deeply in love with Teddy Davenport. She loved him for his handsome face, his manliness, his courage and strength, his high notions of honor. With a swift, impulsive gesture she slipped two slender white arms, lost at the elbow la enchanting frills of lace, about his neck. "But I don't want to be free." she cried. "Oh. what a goose you are, Teddy! As if I hadn't money enough for us both and wouldn't deem It a privilege to share all I possess with you!" He released himself resolutely from the clasping arms. "Yes. Elizabeth. I know you would do it and willingly, if I would permit the sacrifice. But I will not How can I take so much and give nothing la return?" "You will give yourself. That is enough." "Not from a man's standpoint. Don't tempt me. I had this fight out by myself before I came. I shall always love you, always be true to you. but uatil fortune smiles again we can be only friends." Elizabeth loved him the better for bis unyieidiPX firmness and pride. After he had cone she stood for a long time at the window, th? licht gone out of her leautiful eyt. What a pity that so paltry a thing as the loss of fortune should wreck the happiness of two lives! Could nothing be done? Suddenly a thought came to her like an inspiration and she acted x.pon it at oneev Crossing the wide hail to a small room at the rear of the library, she took the telephone directory from

its shelf, ran her anger down the long ! column of naroe3 nntil she- came to the letter S. Then the called up Mr. Sanford of the legal firm of Sanfo?d & Rollins, and the followiug conversation took place: "Mr. Sanford. you have charge of Mr. Theodore Davenport's buslr.es? -affairs?" "Yes." "Is it true that his Lookout shares have greatly depreciated in value V "Excuse me, madam. That is a private matter. I cannot discuss it with a stranger." "You needn't be afraid. Mr. Davenport has just gone from here. I'm Mi Elizabeth Mellen of GramfTcy Park." "Oh ah yes!" It wag curious the change that had corue into the volcw at the other end of the wire. "Of course, then, it is quite unnecessary ro keep anything back. Tlu mine is in very bad shape even worse thaa Davenport is aware." "I'd like to have a talk witn you, Mr. Sanford, if I may. Can you call at my house this evening at S to met my business manager?" "I will come with pleasure, Miss Mellen." "Thanks. Of course you understari that Mr. Davenport is not to know of this." "You can rely upon my discretion." "That Is all. Good by until S." The following afternoon Elizabeth sat waiting with Gushed cheeks and shining eyes. On the stroke of th clock Teddy bounded up the steps. Without giving the servants a chance to announce him, he rushed into the drawing room and caught her In hia arms. "Such wonderful news, my darling!" he cried joyously, kissing her. "Sanford has sold my Lookout share at , par to somebody with more money ! than brains! The mine can't be in

; such a hopeless condition as I was led ! to believe. Sanford dropped a hint that the new owner has been investiI gating privately and knows what he's ! about. Well, he's welcome to make I what he can out of it. It's off my ; hands, thank heaven! And now we i will announce our engagement as soon I as you please."

"Then let it be tomorrow, Teddy," Elizabeth murmured, with downcast eyes. There was a punctured silence. "I I have a prejudice against long engagements," she whispered presently. "Why not be married in three weeks?" "You darling!" he cried. ; At the first stop on their Svedding journey Elizabeth dived to the very bottom of her trunk for a mysterious package. With this tightly clutched in hands that shook a little in spite of herself, she confronted her husband of an hour. "Toddy," she began rather tremulously, "it is the rustom to make gifts on an occasion likL this. 'Suppose you and I inaugurate a new departure. I have something to sell if you can be Induced to buy." Smiling into her solemn face, he asked teasingly: "Is it a kiss?" "Of course not. How absurd! But see for yourself." s He stared hard at the half dozen doe-

I uments she spread out on : the table; j then as the truth dawned slowly upon him his face grew white, j "These are Lookout mine certificates j made out in your name! Elizabeth," j he cried sharply, "explain! What does

this mean?" "Oh, Teddy, forgive me," she pleaded, kneeling beside him in the adorable humility of a proud but loving woman. "I couldn't give you up. I could not. And I saw a way out of it, thank heaven. I bought up these shares of yours secretly" She stopped, silenced by a bitter cry. "And I'm a poor beggar after all," he groaned. "Nothing of the sort," she declared eagerly. "You've been too busy getting ready to be married to watch the market reports, I suspect. lookout shares touched par three days ago, and they went up three additional points yesterday. You've made a hundred thousand" "You mean that you have," he cried, clasping her in his arms.

A QoSdeti Opportunity

Hans on to the Plow. An old English gentleman, a schoolteacher, who some years ago resided ia one of the small towns of Ohio, was an agreeable teller of stories, but deemed it beyond his repufation as a raconteur to tell one that did not surpass any that had preceded it. A farmer, having come to the village, remarked in the presence of his friends that he had been plowing all the week with four horses, breaking up new ground, and dwelt upon it as being a very big thing. "Pshaw!" said the old Englishman. "That's nothing. I have seen in England fifty yoke of oxen hitched to one plow." The remark seemed to occasion general surprise. "And," continued he, "the funniest part of the whole thing was that while the plow was on the top of the hill the leading yoke of oxen was on top cf another hill, and the forty-nine between the plow and the leaders were suspended between the two hills. And there was another matter connected with it rather strange. In the course of the day the plowman, becoming rathtr careless about driving his team, ran into and split a big oak stump. The plow passed safely through the split, but before the plowman got entirely through It closed up and caught him by the coat tail." "Did it tear his coat?" asked a person of inquiring turn. "Not a bit of It," replied our veracious narrator. "He hung on to the plow handles - and - pulled ont the stump." Buffalo Times,
