"Well! well! What y' r?ot eyes for?"
came tho sharp reproof from Al, who al
ways hns that line on tho tip of his

The man got n good crack on the shins
from tho heavy stick (accidentally), nnd
the wind wns taken out of him, hut Al

their eyes they don't know what's going

INDEPENDENCE HIS FC.ITE.
Austcro, virile, self-reliant, ho yet goes
his way to a constnnt chorus of nffcctlon

most curtly. Inclllctency maddens him
He gets to a street corner nnd If nobody
thinks nnlck enough to sny "Go ahead,
Al" or "Walt a sejond, Al, there's a car
coming," ho snaps out shnrply, "Well,
well, wlint's the matter here'" so the
policeman comes running to tell him tho
condition of traffic nhd then, usually un
aided, ho hustles across tho street, feel
ing for tho curve of tho curb with his
stick so ns to And the exact centre of
tho new block.
Ho hears voices In tho path nnd clears

IN TOUCH WITH MYSTEniES.
Ho is In touch with grenter and more

to walk vigorously because he has to con
centrate on It so. Ho gives a new voluo to
the fun of a. walking stick: to cautious
traveling nlong tho crowded streots: to
tho plcasuro of verifying the nature of
things by their "feel" In tho fingers ; lo
tho fun of providing a nestegg against
future mishap. Seeing nothing, he has to

All that music can give all that has been available only to the artist is
now yours through the marvelous features of
The Genuine Pianola
The Pianola is the master player-piano, used
and recommended by such pianists as Paderewski,
used in the royal courts of Europe and unani
mously selected by the foremost Americans.
Player-Pianos, so-called, are not Pianolas. There
is but one Pianola, made exclusively by the Aeolian
Company, and obtainable only in certain pianos, such
as the Steinway, Weber, Wheelock and Stroud all
on sale at Heppe's. The most popular of these
models is
The Stroud Pianola, $550
Settlement by Cash, or Charge Account, or
Our Rental-Payment Plan. All Rent Applies to Purchase.
The Stroud Pianola has every patented Pianola
feature used in our famous Steinway and Weber
Pianolas. It is made by Aeolian artisans, designed
' by Aeolian experts and manufactured under
Aeolian supervision, and, furthermore, carries the
complete Aeolian guarantee.
The price of the Stroud is extremely reasonable
and the terms doubly so. Through our rental-payment
plan you may pay monthly, or weekly, on terms
as low as ?3 per week. Your piano may also be ap-
plied as part payment, x
If you do not have time to call today or tomor
row, just phone or write us. We will gladly mail you
illustrated catalogs of our complete line.
