"I have just heard the report of the man I sent to Alpine to make inquiries in-quiries about you," he began as John sank-in a chair. "While they are not very encouraging, I am willing to give you tho benefit of the doubt. There Is one encouraging feature: you have not run debts here and your bills havo not been large. I have been poor myself, and I never want to be hard on anyone who is working in good faith to get out of debt. but I want to be sure that he is working to that end. He must be honest enough to support himself. I will make arrangements arrange-ments to pay that Benson bill on the installment plan. That's all." John turned and left the office as if he was walking on air. "Saved for the present," he said in a low voice as he passed Julia's desk. She answered with a pleased smile. "Well, I have not been fired this time," said John that night at supper, sup-per, "and you will be glad to know that I can get along for the present without accepting Dr. Ellson's kind offer to loan me money. Mr. Jaynes said today that he had made arrange- . raents to pay the Benson bill on the installment plan." ; "I am so glad. Now you will be relieved of your greatest worry." '. Molly beamed at her husband over the teacups. , "Yes, until the next creditor gets ; an the rampage," sighed John. j "We have saved more this month than last, or any month, in fact," boasted Molly. j "Part of that is the price of your ( lard work, work that you are not , ;troug enough to do. Money that you j save by overworking is dear saving," nsisted John. "I do not mind. I am 'willing to ; lo anything to help pull us out of j Ihe hole." Molly was so happy to iave her husband express concern lbout her health that she felt equal j o anything. : (To be continued). ( THE CHRISTMAS BOX. The home-made gift carries with it a real message of the Christmas time. Do you feel you have no time to make Christmas gifts? Does your fine sewing make you nervous after your day's work? Then, why not fill some old-fash-icned Christmas boxes full of homemade home-made goodies? Such fun packing them, too! Tucking- in bits of holly or other greenery, green-ery, tying bows of gay ribbon, wrapping wrap-ping In smooth sheets of wax and tissue tis-sue paper make it a real recreation. The sweets in- this box are few in number, simple to make, but very good. Also they have a keeping quality qual-ity so they can be made a month before if more convenient. THE FASHIONS. Some of the most popular coats for the winter fasten snugly close to the chin with . long row of small buttons. The collar and cuffs are of some contrasting con-trasting material, very often fur. in which case a wide band of the fur finishes the lower edge of these long, full coats. Dark blue serge and plaid taffeta make an effective one-piece dress which may be trimmed with small buttons. NEW TREATMENT OF SAUSAGES.
