" CHAPTER CXII
Before they left I spoke of giving
up all we had to help, every single
thing.
‘‘Unless we do we cannot let you
do so much for us,” I said when Fred
erick objected to my plans. Put an
advertisement in the paper for house,
rent or sell, please. I have an inven
tory made for everything in it, and
could give possession immediately.”
“That’s the spirit,” he looked his
admiration. Then: “By Jove! I won
der if Tearle wouldn’t take it. I heard
he was going to buy a house in New
York. In fact he was looking for one.’’
“That would be wonderful, but per
haps he would want it to go as part
payment of what we owe.” suggested
Neil. “We can't do that if the small
fry are to be paid off,”
“We’ll make a price for cash. If he
doesn’t take it some one else will. It is
a lovely home. I am sorry Mrs. Forbes
you feel it must be given up. But I
guess there is no other way. You
couldn’t live here anyway. It wouldn’t
do now.”
No I could see plainly it wouldn’t
do for us to attract any attention er
to indulge in the slightest extrava
gance. And in truth I had no wish to.
I felt crushed, as if all I had thought
worth living for had escaped me for
ever. This feeling would pass away
of course. It was wrong to give it en
trance. I had Robert and I also still
had Neil. It was all very hard, very,
dreadful but I comforted myself as
best I could by thinking that it wasnt
so bad that it might not have been
worse. Suppose that added to this ter
rible business trouble I also had lost
him to Blanche Own or some other
woman. That I felt I could not have
borne.
“I can’t imagine what we would
have done without you,” I said try
ing to smile through my tears as Mr.
Frederick begged me not to worry,
that he would keep me in touch with
what they did:
Then he said: “But we can do noth
• ing if all think they can
get at Forbes J do not intend one
of them shall be cheated or go without
fair interest. But you must remember
> what they receive will be very little
compared to what they have been led
, to expect. But if they realize that it
is that or nothing they will be only
too glad to get their money back and
more interest than the banks pay.
I tried to be brave and kissed Neil
good bye quite calmly. But when they
had gone and I was sure I would not
cause him worry by my tears I gave
way to the nervous tension and cried
for an hour. Really I felt better af
terward. And at once began to make
plans for leaving. I told all the serv
ants they were discharged. I would
keep one to help me pack, the others
I let go at once giving them a week s
pay in lieu of notice. It was cheaper
than to keep and feed them another
w<-ek.
The cook and I worked all day
packing up what I should need for
Neil, Robert and myself. The house
was spick and span, ready to show to
anyone. I was a good housekeeper,
my one accomplishment aside from my
music. By night I was to leave.
But now I must wait until the house
was disposed of in some way. It would
rent or sell better with some one in it.
And it was just as cheap to stay there
as anywhere if I did without ser
vants
One thing hurt. The very next day
Robert’s quarter was up at the select
private school he had been attending.
I wrote the teacher he would be a pu-
pil no longer ,then made arrangements
for him to attend public school I was
surprised when I told him.
“Whoop-la,” he exclaimed. “I'm glad
to go where so many boys go. Ive
always wanted to go to public school
Mother, so don’t look as if you were
punishing me.” I had told him noth
ing of our changed fortunes. But he
was a manly little chap, so I sat
down and told him his father had lost
his money, that we would have to be
very careful, live very differently. He
looked serious, then said: .. . T
“I’m sorry for you and dad, but t
don’t care a bit for myself. Lincoln
k didn’t have any money, couldn’t even
I go to public p>ool. But he got to be (
r President of she United States you
know.” Like many boys Lincoln was
his idol He never tired of talking or
reading of him, and had treasured ev
erything he could get together which
reminded him of the martyed presi
dent. A large picture hung over his
bed and several smaller ones adorned
the walls of his room.
I hugged my boy close and breathed
a little prayer of thankfulness that he
was so unspoiled.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat ot the disease.
Catarrh is a local disease, greatly in
fluciiced by constitutional conditions, and
in order to cure it you must take an
internal remedy. Hall’s Catarrh Medi
cine is taken internally and acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine was
prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years. It is com
posed of some of the best tonics known,
combined with some of the best blood
purifiers. The perfect combination of
the ingredients in Hall's Catarrh Medi
cine is what produces such wonderful
results in catarrhal conditions. Send for
testimonials, free.

Vox Populi, Vox Dei.
This Is a very ancient saying and
means “The voice of the people Is the
voice of God.” It can l<e traced back
through Latin to Greek. It is found
first in a work on morals, by the Greek
poet. Hesiod, who lived about the
eighth century before Christ.
Wood In Demand.
The unique timber of Turkey and a
few other localities —the fine, hard
grained, Compact boxwood so much
prized for engravings, rules, etc., is
now so scarce that the forest products
laboratory in Wisconsin Is seeking
American substitutes. Only the Florida
boxwood and the wahoo of Arkansas
and other parts of the South approach
nearly. Other hardwoods suitable for
some of the coarser uses Include mas
tic, torchwood, witch hazel, great rho
dodendron, mountain laurel, thornap
ple and yellow buckeye.
