The little sign screaked monoton ously as it swayed back and forth in the wind. In fact, it was the only sign of animation for two blocks, bar a rival sign across the street thit screaked and swayed just as vehe mently, and to as little purpose. The sign in question informed the public, or would have, had there been a public, that John D. Mnrberry was an attorney and real estate agent, and that he had a choice lot of residence, business, farm and ranch property for sale or rent on easy terms. The tru^a is, the town of Archer was for sale or rent on easy terms; and the few fami lies, who had not already leu for a less ilrouthy country, remained from neces sity more than choice. John D. Mai berry, who had come West to grow up with the country, was, at the very time of which I write, sitting In a small, hot, dusty office be neath the screaking sign, gazing ab stractedly up the deserted street, out to the interminable stretch of parched prairie. When he located In Archer it was on a "boom"; immigration was pouring into the county, the Retta and Taw R. R. had been surveyed to the town, and everything indicated an era of development and prosperity. But, for some reason, not known to the public, the road was not built; and short crops and two years of drouth had caused, to use an expres sion usually applied to such condi tions, the whole bottom to drop out. John D. Marberry’s thoughts were not as abstract as his appearance. In fact, they had a very practical trend. Ho was thinking seriously of selling out,—lock, stock and barrel, if sucu an expression is applicable to the law and real estate business,—and moving back East. He had made a bad ven ture, he had been disappointed, he was heartily tired of the dry monot ony of things. The West held but one attraction for him—and but for said attraction this story would not have been written. He had met Miss Ola Mann, and that meant that he had fallen under the spell of her charming personality. Miss Ola was the daugh ter of a rich old rancher, who num bered his acres and cattle by the thousands. In the active out-door life she had led she had developed into a superb specimen of the western wom an—she was beautiful, cultured, wealthy. Therein lay the perplexity of the case. Marberry felt himself a man of parts, that he had a future, but, for the present, he was stranded. He had often thought over the matter as he tossed restlessly nights, and as he sat dejected in the stuffy little of fice watching the dust drift down the deserted street. To presumptuously, boldly speak his mind and put an end to the consuming uncertainly, or move East, establish himself, and write—that was the question. Once, as he returned from a Fourth of July celebration, where he, as the orator of the occasion, had covered himself with glory, he had been on the point "Mann has made an assignment.” of an avowal of his love, but Miss Ola had seemed to parry his words, and being proud, sensitive, he had re mained silent. Eut, now, his mind was made up. He Jerked his chair to the desk and began to prepare an inventory of his offico fixtures, books, etc. The work completed, he walked across the street to the rival sign. Taylor, the owner, had invested pretty heavily in real estate and would likely remain, as there was no prospect of his disposing of it for some years. He could sell his plunder to him; if not, why, he would take it with him. Taylor was looking over the last issue of the Archer Star, a copy he had taken from the press, strictly against the rules of the office, only ten minutes before. “Well, I guess, the worst Vas hap pened,” tee began, looking up from the paper and motioning Marberry to a chair. ‘‘What is it?” asked Marberry. "Mann has made an assignment.” “Can't be true.” “That's what the paper says." Marberry folded the inventory slowly and pushed it into his pocket. He walked over to the Star office and talked to Tooly. On liis depart ure he took a paper from the mailing desk, then went to the postofflee and got another out of his box. Prof. Bennet was reading the Star to a crowd of six. The "assignment” was the local of interest. Another item, Marberry had overlooked, was also re ceiving its share of comment. Miss Ola Mann had secured a position in the Archer school. Prof. Bennet tes tified to the truth of the last bit of news. John D. Marberry walked across the street with a new buoyancy in his step, tearing the inventory into bits and “I have something to say. Miss Olga." casting it on the hot wind. He en tered his office and took down the duster that had been taking a pro tracted rest. Every book and piece of furniture was gone over carefully and re-arranged. When he sat down to his desk again there was a tidy and prosperous appearance about the room that it had not worn since the days of the railroad boom. John D. Marberry had finally determined that the fate of Archer should be his fate—sink or swim, survive or perish—he would remain in Archer. He went industriously to work op an abstract of the county, an under taking he had given up some weeks before from sheer discouragement. He was still writing when a buggy rolled up to the door. He looked up, surprised at the interruption. Miss Ola greeted him cordially. He has tened out to assist her from the bug^. If her father’s financial embarrass ment weighed heavily on her mind, she was successful, indeed, in conceal ing it. She was the same fresh, sen sible, charming Miss Ola. “I have just read the Star, Miss Ola,” began Marberry, when they were seated. “You’ll pardon me for refer ring to it, and allow me-” “Excuse me,” broke in Miss Ola; "but please do not mention it. There's nothing to be sorry for—we still have the home place and, you know, I have secured a position in the school. After all, what is a little more or less prop erty? Here are some papers father told me to hand to you. He wishes you to look over them.” She rose to go. Marberry rose also. “I have something to say to you, Miss Ola,” he began, stepping nearer; “something I would have said before this had it not been for certain cir cumstance's and which, but for certain other circumstances, I would not say now.” Miss Ola resumed her seat. “I desire you to know, Miss Ola," he continued hesitatingly; “that—I love you.” Miss Ola’s eyes were on the floor, roses came and went on her cheeks. Then, she looked up sweetly and said: “I’m sure, Mr. Marberry, I’m not dis pleased.” Not a single client dropped in to interrupt the conversation that fol lowed. But then, if there had been clients in Archer it would not have happened just as it did. The rival sign across the street was still screaking and flappi fruitlessly when Marberry and his v»„ tor stepped into the buggy and rolled off. Taylor eyed them critically over the corner of his paper. There was some thing telltale about his rival that caused his thoughts to go wandering back to a sunny day—now buried, with many other bright things, in the past—when he had entered the land wi.ere Love is king. “There’ll soon be another local In the Star,” he mused, and his thoughts drifted back to silent streets, scorched prairie, and bad investments. A few months later there was a quiet wedding out at Mann's Ranch. Tooly, of the Star, was best man. Taylor congratulated his rival heartily. Mar berry—well, Marberry—was happy. Archer is no longer a deserted vil lage, but a thriving western metropo lis. The screaking sign that flapped above Marberry’s office has long since ceased to screak. Marberry occupies elegant rooms above Mann and Mar berry’s bank. Those who write him use the prefix “Hon.” English SoTerelgn an I'npoputar Coin. The sovereign has never been a pop ular coin in India.
