No Time For Levity.
. Mr. Bowser flushed up at her flippant
tone, but , hung on to his temper nnd
took another walk and sat down again
to say:
- "Levity Is out of place when one has
a million dollars at stake. Of course
It's no use to outline the scheme to
you..- You would simply see" a score of
objections where not a single one ex
ists." $ '

Bhe laid aside her book and suddenly
became serious, "if I can in any way
help you to make a million dollars or
any other sum I will do so with great
cheerfulness. You know I would do
It."
"Hum! Hum!"
"State your scheme and let us see
Where 1 can help you."
"Hum! If I thought you meant It"
"But I surely do."
"Well, then, I was In a butter and
egg place the other day and the pro
prietor called my attention to some
ducks' eggs he had on display."
"I see." ,
"They were 75 cents a dozen. When
I told him the figure was highway rob

for a hundred carloads. Yes, be said
he'd take a thousand carloads at the
price and be only too glad to get
