(ffi. lUi'3, n "pHAT Utile lot at the corner of Ninth street was going to nialto lulin Jlentlt'j's fortune sonie day. He had tolled he and Folly on the llttlu fiirni. to save I lie few hundreds re quired; now I lie lot was his, but Folly was dead and lie had no further inter est In lite. Mcchnnlfiilb; he drudged away, and grmliiitllv, as the shod; of his luss be gan to lessen, he took up tho routine of life again. He was a lonely man, without a rclathc in thu world. Whom was lie working for? it was in purl the working Instinct, Just to labor; Dimly lie envisaged u future of ease when the lot had increased to a value that would enable him to retire from tho farm. The lot had long ago been sold for taxes, but Jolfn Itentley knew nothing ubout It. l'crhnps the notice hnd mis curried, or hu hnd received It und had not understood. He thought the lot was his forever. After u few years he went Into tho city to look at It. Tho little, weed grown lot upon the outskirts hud be come u part of the city, und on It Btood a two-story shop. He scratched his head. "1 guess sonic one's been building there," he said. "They sure hud no right to build on my lot without my leave. I guess they'll have to go when I get ready to sell." He hiu tlofng better with the little farm, and estimated that he had many years of work ahead of him. And It was about this time that an Idea emtio Into his iniud. He would make the lot u monument to Folly. He decided, after much thought, that when the value of It had become enor mous, he would huilti a small hospital the Follv Meiuorhil hospital, he called II in his mind. The Idea made him ver.v happy, and lie went on hoe ing his potatoes. A few years later, returning to the city, he found that the lot was in the heart of the busliie-s region. The shop hail gone; in its place stood un ollice building of seven stories. The click of typewriters could be heard from all the window. Hentley stood In the street and grinned. "They sure have a nerve, setting up that place on my lot," he said. "Guess they'll feel pretty mean when I give 'em notice to go. Hut 1 want that site for Folly's hospital." Ills Idea wns to mortgage the lot, which must by now be of Incalculable value, build the hospital with the pro ceedshe hud no Idea of the cost of this and get It started, trusting to luck and the good-will of subscribers to keep it going. The Idea had become more or hiss a monomania. The larm was not dulng so well nowuilus. The "oil was worn out, und Hentley was growing old, mid less able to work. When lie made Ids last trip to the city he had hardly anything but his few acres and the old working clothes he stood In. When he reached tin; lot he stopped In iiiuazenieiit. The business unices were gone, for the town was now spreading in another direction. In their place stood a magulllcent building with a white marble entrance. For a moment or two old Hentle.v had misgivings-. "Sure they'll have to go," he muttered. "They can't take m lot away front me. Thej'll have to go. Ami then he discovered that the Kt'eat building was a lio.-pllal. lie saw nurses at the windows, patients in their beds, looking out Into the street. Fverythlng was as he had dreamed, hut someone had anticipated him. It was Follj's hospital 1 The ieall.a liou of the dream s(nt a sudden wiish of blood to his head. Hentley stag gered, threw out ids arms, and dropped neonseloiis to the sidewalk. A .voting interne, who was coining out. saw the crowd that gathered around the iinnni-i ions mail, and hur ried to Ids side, lie saw that Hentle.v hail been struck down by apoplevy. He culled the potter, and thc.x carried tint inside the hospital and he wio put to bed In the public ward. For da.vs old Hentle.v lay in a stu por, out of which he emerged to lie 'tune tliud.v toiisclous tif the nurses ami the doctor. "No, we can't llnd nut who the old fellow Is," the hotte doctor told the porter. "I guess he'll have to go to the potter's Held. IteeoverV No, he's too far pone for that." I'p In the ward a screen had been drawn around .lohn Hentle.v 's bed. The urse loaned over him. "My hospital," she lu'tird him tnuiu hie. "Foll.v's- hospital." "Who's I'oll.vV" asked tho, nurse. "They beat me to It, but It's Foll.v's i.ispititl, isn't if;" whispered .lohn Hentley. Then he died. Cats Like It.

It Is vital that they know how to spend the money provided theni, for the best fund, our gro cers tell u It Is not the wealthy house wives, us a rule, who buy food, fruit, veirelables and luxuries nut of season, but those who crin least afford It. It Is often a lack of knowledge of food values', nnd carelessness and In-' difference In regard to expenditures. Tt should be the aim, nnd Is, with n large majority of housekeepers, rich or poor, to feed (he family well, with as little waste as possible and with as small a money outlay. Food Is the big Itene In the weekly budget of the crowing family and there Is no one who can do more than suggest ns to the wise spending of the Income, for each family has Its own problems which must he worked out In the same manner that a mother mannges her children no two need the same training or discipline.
