The next morning Mra. Yardlcy took
tralu and went to the houseboat
When she reached the shore she aaw a
gentleman looking about him for aouie
thing. "Beg pardon. she mild. "Can you

This was embarrassing. The gentle
man's mouth quirked at the corners.
bhiI the lady was very sober. In or
der to spare her further annoyance the
geutleiiuin said: .
"You are mlstakeu In suposlng we

"Yes. mum; there's a good library

As the visitors could not very well
help coining together, no they couldn't
help going together. far when the oi l
fellow finished showing t hem through
the boat they found themselves at the
door openiug on to the gangplank.
"If the Isiat suits you." said the geu
tleman as I lie couple walked away,
"you are at liberty to take It. I have

"1 am situated much us you are.
While I have plenty of friends. I fear
most of them have made their arrange

They were going to the station aud
to the city on the same traiu. Before
they parted they exchanged addresses
that they might notify each other as
to their future wishes and Intentions.
Within a few days Mrs. Yard ley re
ceived a note from the gentleman. Mr.
Auchlncloss. that he had discovered

Now that they wore nciiualuted. they
made a Joint excursion to the next
houseboat and tills time were mis
taken for an engaged couple by the
caretaker, a fishermaa'a wife, who
said she knew they weren't married
because the gentleman was too polite
and attentive. They were Iwth much
pleased with this hotiselmnt. but con
eluded to look further. For the next
two mouths they continued to lok at
houseboats together; then Mr. Auchin

The young man was rather slow.
So the girl thought it time to give

always used to kiss a hurt place to
make it well."
t "And did it do any pood?" asked

and they also prosper. But why Is
this period of unemployment! It Is
because all business Is bewildered and
uncertain. It does not know whither
It may proceed In safety. It does not
know with what snares Its path ncay
be laid. This condition began with
transportation and now extends to all
business. The greatest trouble with
this country today Is that every busi

genius of the American people has
become the object of unforeseen at

threat or danger of attack. Our laws,
which formerly were precise and def

Even when they endeavor to expound i

"I urge relief from the fads, fancies

with unemployment and put away the
dinner pall of the working man empty

of business are the peers of any in

may be a successful and energetic
aid to all the business it Is designed
to serve."
