A STORY FOR SPARE MOMENTS
Buildlna Up the Capital
1
pATIIJNCU MAHSH was busy. In her
dainty blue nnd white kitchen, putting
the finishing touches to the gala dinner that
was to cejebrate their freedom from debt.
Little Mildred, Just turned rive, stood In
tho window looking down tlio half-mile
stretch of road for the first gllmpie of
"Daddy".
"Oh, here he comc, mnmma," she glee
fully thouted.
Patience hastily stepped Into the dining
room, lighted the alcohol lamp under tho
percolator, then untied her gingham apron,
glanced In the mirror, and taking Mildred's
h.ind hurried niross the lawn and down tho
road to meet her husband.
Ollbcrt Marsh, tall, dignified, but worn
with manual labor, embraced his wlfo and
daughter with umiMial warmth
"Hut for vou," he "fthlpercd tenderly,
"we, should not be enjojlng this occasion
tonight. It's fine to own )our own home "
"It's modest." said I'atUncc. looking nt
iho house critically, "but It's ours nnd paid
for. Hut come, our dinner will be spoiled '
Kna opened the front door and a burst
of fragrance met them P.ocs nnd sweet
peas wore everywhere The coffee was
"perking" away merrily and In a few min
utes they were peated at the table.
"Well," said Gilbert, survevlng the table
laden with home delicacies "thero Is noth
ing that Increases tho senc of Independence
so much ns what's raised on our own
patch of ground Hero's Juicy spring
chicken, broiled to n turn, new potatoes

"Old Kosslc gave us the cream Tor Ice
cream," piped In Mildred
"Hut we were forced to bu the sugar
and coffee." laughingly llnMied Patience
"Tho evening Is Just cool enough to cpJo
that log r.ro tonight." sal.l Gilbert, leaning
back to enjoy his pot-pr,indUl smoke.
"What If It had been as hot as last nlKlit .
"I'd have had It Jut the same." replied
Patience, 'becauxo we novel mild Hunt
that horrid paper with ertcctivi ceremony
without a log fire" ,
After the dishes were cleared nvva) ana
washed. Gilbert and Mildred helping, they
repaired to the living room, where the
eventful ceremony was to take plae
Ifatlente brought the canceled JSflO note
fiom the desk nnd gave It to Mildred vvl.o
was Instructed to drop It Into the burning
fire, when her papa said "Here goes five
'ears of toll.Atruggle nnd sacrifice, but it
;.... (,. iw frrctloni from the burden of
"debt And may our little daughter alwajs
live In a home free from debt

Mildred . ,
Mother will try to explain,
I
valuable, Uesldes Mr. Sargent told mo you
had saved $500 toward )our home bclore
on married "
Sio rose and la) lug a caressing hand on
Gilberts shou'der said: "It's fine to In
spire jour fellow cltlten with such trust
that h willingly lent you money without
Inking a mortgage," nnd turning to
Patience, "It does joil both credit to keep
)our business nnd financial troubles from
your neighbors. Now, go on with the cere
mony ru help you rejoice.
"Hut. first let mc tell )ou how Patience
planned all our money by the budget sys
tem," begged Gilbert, "and ull credit Is duo
her."
"Sn, no," deuled Patience happily- "Gil
bert exaggerates. Here! Mildred, hold the
paper and drop It when papa stops talking '
In a twinkling, tho flames had devoured the
scrap of white paper.
Aunt Joan quickly thrust n similar piece
of paper In Patience's and Gilbert's hands,
"It's something that would have been yours
nfter I'm gone." she said hastily. "Don't
unfold tho piper till I go. I want to see
jou enjoy this while I'm alive."
"Head jour slip." finally challenged Pa
tlence "Why" gasped Ullbert. "It's a check for
J 5 00 ''
' .So Is mine," eagerly echoed Patience,
"Oh, Gilbert!"
They were In each other's arms "What
a glorious celebration"
".Now, wc have u capital for our little
tearoom business we've been planning and
