TOWN LOT NO. 1303 m • ■■ .(CoDviuuod.) bad an offer of $1,300— 5300 down lind the rest m two year*— but I told him it was $1,500 or nothing. They've found Indications of natural gas. " However, Lizzie's pleadings were so strong that he sought the buyer, no less a person- age than the president of the Aroadia railway, and offered to sell. "Humph," said Mr. Gault— -Gault was the great man's name— "l've bought elsewhere. You're the day after the fair, my Christian friend. But maybe we oan fix a trade. Tell you what, I'll give you $1,000 m Arcadia, selling for 125 on the street now, but I oall ife par, and my note for $400 for cix monthß. How's that?"- Thus it happened that Gus went home with an announcement of the Bale of 1303 for $1,650. He was buoyantly delighted, talking of the new parlor furniture and even a watoh for Lizzie. It was provoking to have Lizzie look so serious when he explained that there want any ready money exaotly. She couldn't seem to understand that the stock was just as good. He really bad a mind to sell a little, to give her a les- son m finanoe. Chuckling over the vision of Lizzie when he should bring, say, $000 or so and fling the notes m her workbasket, Gus tried to sell his stook. But some- how he found no buyers. At last Gus came home one evening, long, long aft- er supper, and flung his head upon the table and groaned. He believed that Lizzie was m her ohamber, but she was there, m the shadow, waiting, and she oame forward and lifted his head from the table to hold it against her heart. "Let us bear it together, dear," said Gus' wife. Then the man tried to straighten hia shoulders and hold up his head, with a miserable assumption of jauntiness. "Oh, it's nothing; just yawning. I'm dead beat, chasing round town after the scoundrel. Lizzie, Gault's gone — sloped." "Run away?" "Exaotly. Canada, I guess, leaving a pretty mess behind him. The Arca- dia's busted. Stock isn't worth a cent — no more than his swindling note. He hasn't paid a dollar for 1303. All I could do was to get it back. He would have nailed me to make the payments and sold it, but I was m time, though Lord knows how I'll raise money for the next payment, next month. " A little pause, during whioh Lizzie only stroked his hair before she said, timidly: "Dear, they say the boom is burst. Don't you think we better— we better let 1303 go and not try — it will be so hard to raise that money and more m another six months, and it takes so long for a boom to come baok, and there are the taxes and the interest" — A savage laugh stopped her, and Gus leaped up and began pacing the room. "I tell you I cayn't do it, Lizzie. I oayn't bear it. Maybe I'm jist flinging good money after bad, but after the way I've worked and hoped and plan- ned I oayn't stand it to see that lot slip out of my fingers. The property's bound to come up, you know." But it was one thing to resolve to make the payments, quite another to raise the money. How bitterly did Gus revile his extravaganoe during the sea- son of 1308's fictitious prosperity. His smart new clothes, his new hat, his cra- vat, were odious to him. "You brute!" he acoused himself, "while your poor wife did not spend a useless penny 1" He worked over hours to get money. He stinted himself every possible way. The peaoeful evening pipe was saori- ficed. He ate a dry roll for his lunoh- eon. One morning he brought a bundle to the emporium. Not only his new olothes and hat, but his watoh and Liz- zie's oherished table cover were spread on the counter for Mrs. Crowe's laok luster eyes. "Can you give me $50 for the lot?" Gus asked, trying to keep the tremble out of his voioe. "Your wife know 'bout that there kiver?" Gus was too wretched for retort. He nodded. The "secondhand woman" eyed him, not keenly, but m her usual expressionless fashion. "S'ne knows," said Gus, clearing his dry throat. "She— she gave me $10. It's our second payment on the lot 1808." "Guess you wish you'd a-follered my advice." Gus, mopping his brow and his eyes glittering with anxiety, forced a siokly kind of smile. "Guess you 'bout hit it that time," said he. "Well, why don't you foller it now? Let them sharks take their darned old weed patch baok." A quiver ran over the young man's pale face, while he began to gather up the loose articles. "Quit that. I s'pose you'd go some- where else if you can't git what you want. Well," she opened the till and took out five $10 bills, saying, "there, I'm a fool, too, an that's a pair of us." Gus thanked her warmly, but she gave him no answer beyond staring at him through his faltering speech. "Well, ain't I a fool!" he heard her remark to herself, as he hurried away. Though he had the money, he was a wretched man. It humiliated him to take Lizzie's hard earnings. Worse than all, there was the insurance money. For years Gua had kept his life insured. The thought that if anything happened to him Lizzie would have a little sum to help nor f aoe the wolf had comforted him m many a hard experience. Now it would be impossible for him to raise enough by tomorrow to make the pay- ment. "Oh, well, nothing is going to happen to me," said Gus, "and I'm bound to stick to 1303." He was impressed by the different ap- pearance of the office when he went to pay his note. Dismally quiet wero the rooms which had been so thronged. The few men lounging about read the bul- letin boards and talked m an under- tone, with frowns and significant nods and liftings of the eyebrowa While Gus stood waiting for his reoeipt and absent- ly gazing out of the window the num- ber of signs "To Let" and "For Sale" Which met his eye made his heart shrink. At that moment if he could have got $113 (prinoipal and interest) (To be continued).
