TOWN LOT NO. 1303- --♦ ■ (Continued.) the real estate booms goin on forever an ever, amen. It ain't" — "Oh, I'll risk it," Gus laughed. Mrs. Crowe, after looking at him a second, said, "Well, 'taint none of my business." Gns -was tempted to reply that he agreed with her there, but on consider- ation that she was a woman he forbore, though he ohafed almost as muoh over her grim silenoe as over her words. To divert his thoughts he sorewed his head round until he could look out on the landscape. Soon the scattering houses were passed. The muddy road cut a straight blaok line through a green sea of prairie. The taik and the jokes went on; the brass band played m front; the horses were of good mettle and trotted »wiftly. Still Gus wondered if the ad- "Let us bear it together.' 1 dition was not rather distant from the town. At last they reaohed the stand for the sale, and the beer pavilion and the Hook of little flags standing sentries over the lots. There were no trees and no grass, but pools of water glimmered under huge dook leaves, and there was a rank growth of plantain and jimson and smartweed, making the ground quite as green, from a distance, as grass would do. Mr. Wheelan plodded through the mud, and Qua splashed after. The luoky speoulator halted before a flag bearing the number 1303. Gus also halted. "I suppose they will build up rapid- ly," said Gus. Wheelan made a motion with his shpulders, between a shrug and a shiver. "You thinking of investing, ' young man?" "Well, yes. Ain't it a good invest- ment?" "If you oan afford to lose the money, young man, then you can afford to specu- late m land, and you may make some- thing if you buy right. But if you can't afford to lose you better not touoh it. You heard Mrs. Crowe. She's apt to be I sound." So saying, Wheelan walked away. "I'll bet he's just trying to scare me off 'cause he wants that lot himself," was Gus' instant thought. So readily do we impute deep laid oraft to other peo- ple's motives, and so seldom do we al- low them to be swayed by random im- pulses like our own. Ten minutes later Gus was the owner of lot 1303, and he returned home with the deed m his pocket. He found Lizzie distracted with anxiety over his long absence. Matters were not greatly helped by the explana- tion. Lizzie grew quite pale. "Gus— > then — the — parlor" — she stammered, making a pathetio effort at concealing ( her disappointment, "but, of course, we can wait awhile." If she had re- proached him it would have been eas- ier, Gus thought. He kissed her and oalled her his precious, brave little wife, and Lizzie, poor soul, for a min- ute believed that suoh words were better than ohairs or ourtains. He broke into a fervid eulogy of the lots, "directly on the street car line" — "Oh, did you go out m the cars, Gus?" "Of course not; the traok ain't laid, but it's right on the line. And there's an eastern syndicate and parties from Chicago" — The magnificent gossip of the wagon was repeated until Lizzie's imagination caught fire, and she re- proached herself for her wicked disap- pointment. Before they went to bed they had made no less than $600. In view of such opulence Lizzie herself did not consider a beefsteak for supper extravagant. She even allowed herself to be helped twice. From thenceforth lot 1308 may be said to have become one of the family. They talked of it constantly. Gus and Sammy were taken out to view the | family estate. In consequence Mrs. ] Plaintiff spent the most of the night removing cockle burs and mud from their garments. Sammy explained that [m their glee they had "wrestled" and slipped. "Say, ain't papa real kinder happy all the time now?" said Gus. "He gives rue a nickel 'most every San- day." "Yes, dearie, but I'd save 'em if I was you," said his mother. And for some reason she sighed. She asked Mrs. Crowe to give her more work, saying she oould find more time. She found it by rising earlier. "An how's 1303?" said Mrs. Crowe. "Sold it yet?" "No, but Gus is offered $700, but there is strong talk of the canning fac- tory wanting it." "Tell him to sell it if it's oash or a good man." Gtis nodded hia head wisely over this message. "I guess I understand the old Crowe's little game by this time," he told Lizzie. No. 1308 was bought m May. By June house lots m Bloward were quoted at double their May prices. ' 'Only, I wish, Gus, they would pay the money j down, " said Lizzie. "They want to pay so little down and give notes or swap property." "You don't understand business, Liz- zie. If we all paid down, there wouldn't be money enough to go round. " In July 1803 was held at $1,500. j Two lots adjoining it were actually sold I to eastern men for that prioe, cash. They belonged to Mr. Wheelan. "Crowe has sold five lots to the canning faotory for $1,000 apiece," Gus reported. "I t i (To be continued).
