A DOUBLE UNION By SADIE A1.COTT Miss Cora Falrull was a twentieth century girl. Her father and mot tier belonged to the nineteenth. When their .i..i.L-i.i. r was born I hey exiiected that he would grow up to lt round aud look pretty, waiting ror a nusuauu as be. the mother, had done herself. But .i,n Mean had received her education .i. .iiNui.iioiiitt-.l her parents by In sisting on following a career In journal ism. M.uh to their chagrin, sue accept- i ,. onaltlon on the editorial stuff of an evening newspaper, liom thut time forward all hope or uer sjvwg the life of a sedate married woman 111 hIiji ItltitlU'd. But not long after her lultlutlon Into the newspaper business her father made a loss that crippled him. and wliliin another year he was financially wrecked. He was too old to begin anew, and the fortunes of the family appears to be desperate. Cora step ped to the front aud took the lead Selling off what remained of the fain lly effects furniture, clocks, watches and Jewelry she realised a thousiiud dollurs. Witb this she proposed to go to a smaller place and start a news paper. Her father aud mother were both too broken down by their misfor tunes to oppose her, and the result was the establishment of the Harvester at v.wtf!ind. a town of about 3.000 In habitants. There was nnother paper In Wood land, the Plowman, owned by Jame Newt-nth. a merchant. He sold goods during the day nnd got up his news paper during the night. When be slept no one knew. ije had n son about twenty-seven years old who would have liked to manage the paper, run ning It on less antiquated lino nnd making It something for a Journalist to be proud of. Put all old Newrnth would do for his son John was to fcoep him setting type nt minimum wages and give him n small percentage on whet sds. he could pick up. As soon ns she Falrnlls started th Harvester Newrath saw that unles ho aid something to run them out the patronage would all go to the new na per. It was evident that the manager was a live wire and was disposed to make Innovations. The only method of saving himself that appeared to New rath was to put the price of advertise ments so low that they would all go Into the Plowman. He bad 15,000 that he proposed to sink In this way. When Cora Falrull learned that bet competitor wns taking ads, at prices which to compete with would soon use up the few hundred dollars that re mained to b.-i after buying tbo neces sary outfit tor n stnrt she felt consid erable despondency. Though plucky, she knew Hint a newspaper cannot well l i an without ndvertlsemeiitH nt pajiag pfi aij nnd so long iis Newrnth hnd some ten time her capital It wa titer.-. .v a questlou of time with her Journal. Her competitor labored under one weukness.

Indeed, he laid bnre the sit uation Cora was naturally grateful for what she received, but ssw no way fo snve herself, and John Newrath Wns Itllllble M belt. hSf Univavpr the Jnlini.iation he gave her wns some thing of an advnntnge, and he knew Just how much money Newrnth hnd to siuk nnd how fnst It was going out The nearer the plucky girl came to a financial collapse the more sympathetic became the man of all work In the of fice of the Plowman. He said he would be glad to help her, but he didn't see how he could. His fnthcr scorned to be Influenced by hltn, and If he nsked the old man to let up In his efforts to ruin the Harvester ho would only dou ble them. However, John formed a plan nnd gave Cera a tip n to how she could help It. One day he told his father thnt he hnd heard reports nbout th Falrnlls getting a partner with plenty of money to establish their paper. This struck the old man with terror. Noth ing troubled him more than the losing game he hnd been playing, and the bnre idea of falling In bis plan and be ing i u ii out of business besides was a blow to him. A few days after his son commnnl cnted this disheartening report there wns n notice on the editorial page of Jie llnrv ester that the paper would won appear In a new dress. What Its .-lifor meant wns undress or no dress t nil, for she expected to suspend. For the first time In his life Newrnth senior consulted with his son as to the report and the nnnnsneement. .lohn tm lined to give an opinion ns to what r naaat After this his fHther nsked him how ii would like to tnke the Plow han. unite If with the Harvester, call g the pnper the Union, nnd give his ofes on loin; time In pnymont.
