A After that he ordered Marine's meals herself and what was nwre, paid for them. Nor was this all. "I've had a substantial raise," Jenny said, coming Into Maxtne's room one evening. She suspected that Maxine had been crying. "Can't I lend you a bit of cash, dearr That thousand can't be going to lust forever!" Maxine broke down completely. "It's gone these two weeks. I'm In debt and Oh, Jenny I" She flung herself face downward upon the bed. Jenny soothed her tenderly. Two hours before she had had a cold glimpse of Aunt Everine looking particularly husky in a new bonnet, giving her French bulldog, Gigl, an air- high-salarie- d j and acconipIi.slniRMits, but they dkl have to uphold them the knowledge that their Aunt Kverine. their father's sister, was the richest woman in West-mor- e if not In the whole country. 4 The Idea of Aunt Kverine's money had heen drilled into them from their youth; they were her only heirs and It was certain that some day each would receive a fine fortune. Their father find died with this assurance comforting his last moments, their frail mother had clung to it as long as she lived. It had descended to Maxine with full force, but Jenny, the younger, held it lightly. "Look here, Maxine," she said to her sister. "I've got something to do besides wait. You can do just as you like, of course, but I shall take that job In Tike's coal office. It's $10 a week and a nice, clean bill would look good to me this minute. The only way 1 can get one Is to ejirn It, and so I'm going after it." Maxine Mushed angrily. She was dark and attractive, while Jenny was a faded blond, who wore spectacles and let her freckled nose go unpow-dere- ing. "John's gone A Dark Secret .Mf3 wjr cJaocK.

There was the depth of painful resolve In her uark eyes. Next day the rented pir.no moved out of Maxine room and Jenny moved in. Jenny paid the rent and would continue to do so until Maxine could help out. A week later Maxine went to work In Goodrich's department store. When she drew her first pay envelope she made a little return for the many favors she had received from both John and Jenny by treating them to the regular White House dinner.

In his autobiogra phy he says: "About this time there was a creat souirrel hunt on Duck river, which was among my people. They were to hunt two days, then to meet and count the scalps and have a big barbecue and what might be called a country frolic. The dinner and a general treat was all to be paid for by the party having the least scalps. I Joined one side, taking the place of one of the hurt ters, and got a gun ready for the hunt. I killed a great many squirrels, and when we counted the scalps my party was victorious." lie was called upon to make a speech, and though by his own admission he "knew nothing of government whatever" and had never seen the Inside- of a law book, he was elected later to the legislature and later conwon a seat In the Twenty-thirgress. c tun Dye-tintin- e d.

I don't want what's coming to me until she's good and ready to parr with it. I haven't done anything special to deserve it. In fact, the only reason she will give me anything is because I'm her dead brother's child. She has never handed us a penny and never will ns long as she is alive. Why, do you know." little Jennie said earnestly, "we could both starve to death and she'd never buy us a crust That's Aunt Everine. Now I'm going to forget about her and her money and start In to do something for myself, I'd advise you to lo the same." "I've got a thousand dollars, which was my share when we sold the house," Maxine said coldly. "I shall study music and French. I shall prepare myself for the time when I shall be rich. What use would all that money be to me if I weren't prepared to enjoy It? I'd appear no better than would old Andy Pratt if somebody gave him a tuxedo suit and a pearl scarfpin." Each had decided and there was no more to be said. They took rooms at Mrs. Hyatt's Jenny the cheap little back one that looked Into the big apple tree, Maxine the better furnished front room with the balcony, large enough for the piano she rented. At seventeen and eighteen respectively they had settled down to the serious business of life. Three times daily they met at the White House restaurant on Main street. Jenny, with real appetite, ordered bread and butter, stews, corned beef hash. Maxine ordered toast, salad and Ice cream. Maxine stared pensively about her, while Jenny read a book over which she sometimes gig-fleaud.ibly. She loved to read and found her greatest entertainment In hooks. Evenings she studied shorthand. She didn't mean to work In that coiil office forever, for she had found out that do her best she need never expect to have her pay raised. She Lad her thousand dollars In the sav-Ijg- s haul; and she saved a bit each week by dropping nickels and dimes into the mouth of the green metal frog on her bureau. Full of coin the frog croaked pleasantly. Maxine stud-leFrench and practiced for six hours ta"li day.
