They bought a very good general pur¬ 
pose horse for $135. The squire was as 
tickled as could be over it.' “He paid $250 
for him, only last spring," he said, as they 
led the black horse away behind the cut¬ 
ter. “He'll make you an excellent animal.” 
When they reached the house ]\Ir. IMan- 
tell insisted in siving the Squire a check 
for $135. although the latter offered to 
take a note, if it would be of any con¬ 
venience to Mr. ^Mantell. 
The pig-pen was supplied from the 
Squire’s choicest O. I. C.’s. He let ]\Ir. 
Mantell look over his several litters, and 
after the latter had pickeil out two of the 
chubbiest and fattest he could find, took 
him back to a pen they had passed, where 
the potential porkers looked almost lean, 
their bodies were so long in proportion to 
their legs. 
“There’s what you want,” he said. “Get 
a frame first, sir; you can hang the pork 
on it afterward. And make it four, in¬ 
stead of two. You can get good money 
back on the extra two in a few months, 
and it won’t take any more time to attend 
to four than it will to two.” 
That sounded like good advice, and IMr. 
Mantell acted upon it. At $3.50 each, the 
lot cost $14. 
The naming of the stock was left to the 
women folks, but Robert protested, as he 
wanted the naming of the pigs. Finally 
the cow was called I^larie .Antoinette, and 
the horse. Black Prince. The pigs Robert 
amused himself by naming after several 
gentlemen prominent in high finance, with 
whom he knew his father had come indi¬ 
rectly in contact in his vain attempt to 
maintain an independent business. The 
fact that his father’s late concern was the 
result of the combination of several one- 
horse industries, did not trouble him. 
.Affairs seemed to be progressing in or¬ 
der and without a hitch. Robert and 
Helen were delighted with the new school 
and teachers and as they were not at all 
snobbish made friends quickly. House¬ 
hold matters went smoothly, even without 
a maid—as yet they had not been able to 
find one—and while it made a lot of work 
for Mrs. Mantell. both Helen and Robert 
gave her much help in the house. Every¬ 
one was happv. And then the first blow 
fell.

climber. It lacks, however, the substance 
and coloring of the real ivy. It is, never¬ 
theless, valuable for temporary uses and a 
plant or two should always be kept. Cut¬ 
tings root freely and grow at any time. 
Ciss^ls discolor — This altogether too lit¬ 
tle known vine has the most beautiful foli¬ 
age of any. The leaves are a velvety 
green veined with silver, the under sur¬ 
faces being reddish and the stems red. 
It is a rapid grower and readily managed 
if kept on the warm side. New plants 
may be had from cuttings at almost any

ORIENTAL RUGS 
I are hard to buy at the right prices. 
Antique weaves are so scarce that the cas¬ 
ual buyer finds it hard to get them at any 
price. It is my hobby to pick one out of 
a thousand rugs through se’veral channels, 
and my collection is yours to select from. 
My antiques are thick, lustrous, and far 
superior to new rugs. I send rare antiques 
on approval, paying expense both ways.
