This is not the fortune mnnssed by a prominent lawyer, a famous physician, a popular politician, a successful delientewen-btore proprietor or even a fash ionable butcher! It is inerelj the sum which n man in Syrncuse known ns the "Shoc-Shlnlng King" hns annexed, according to tho coinplnlnt filed by a kicker against a fifteen cent tariff for a shine in supporting his demand for nn investigation by the Department of Justice, while tin1 I.ever Act was in force. Local agents, who carefully 1 becked over the evidenre contained in tho complaints received, found that the greater part of the one-hundrcd-thousand-dollar fortune of the chain bootbliick-stand proprietor was derived from the old charge of a nickel for u shine; since tho llftcen-cent fee went into effect, the gentleman complained of Ih said to hnvc admitted that he saved so much money he did not exactly know how to spend it. Of course, he hns long Hincc retired from active business. There arc many other Instances of the large sums of money which nggrcgnte from small purchases. The multi-inlllionaire tobacco kings have acquired their fortunes from billions of cigars and cigarettes, which represent almost as many sales of n few cents each. The penny weighing machine hns a clientele of several hundred million peoplo annually and is responsible for ninny of our millionaires. The automatic vending mcchnnisms which disburse chewing gum, postage stamps, chocolate samples nnd a dozen other what-not articles gather their har vest of coppers and nickels to help mnlntuiu the ynchts nnd automobiles of their promoters. The richest newspaper proprietor in the world sells his commodity for three cents. Shonts and Woolworth were the master nlchemlsts of time they made millions out of nickels. Also the shoe-lace plutocrats, the match manufacturers, the button mag nates, tho orange-drink fortunnlres and so on. These are only n few examples of "how big figures are built up of small mnounts; there nre innumerable opportunities of which a man with brains, push, vision nnd something honest to sell can take advantage to develop a little large business of this kind. CHAPTER III Changing Horses In the Water itXTOW you will be Forry for riding i-N the bg turtles.ln the water." fchouted Folly Wlshc to l'eggy and Hilly. The tiny fairies, buzzing around the heads of the children on 'their dragon fly vimrn, saiiVthe same thing, nlthough flic fairies, being dumb, said It with the looks in their faces Instead of with their lips. I'cggy, Hilly and the newly wedded African s'rl and. chocolnto-colored youth were having the jolllest kind of 11 time driving the turtles about the liny. The turtles, harnessed like riding horses, hud finis far obeyed everv pull on the reins. Now they hud ground their hits apart, freelui: their mouths, and the children found It much harder to guide their.. Their strong necks struggled against the reins, I'eggy and Hilly pulled hard. Snnp! Snap! The bridles, weakened by the breaking of the bits, jerked off the heads of the turtle?. They were loose from tho reins. Snap! Snap! Tho sume thing hnrpened to the trrtlcs drhen by the African savages. The turtlo'i. feeling themselves free, nt once ran away. Tho,y headed oiit through the breakers tor tl.e ocn mil All the children nnd the savages could do wns to hnn on. Swish ! Swash ! They wont through the rolling breakers. The riders had to, hang tightly to the Middles to keep from being swept ofl" by the tumbling waves. Swish! Swioli! They wcro among the long swells of the sea, bending straight from land. As they dashed along tho children found they were in a swimming race. Hostile them were large tisli, rii'mltig through the wafers. Thfe lnrt'c llsli every now and then shot up Into the air mid with a i'riueful turn doe back into lhe water. "Oh. mo (hoy sharks?" cried l'eggy. "No, they nrc porpoises," niiMvcied Hilly, who knew them from their habit of rising and diving. "They will not hurt us." Indeed, the porpoises seemed ery friendly, and niitrh less dangerous than the turtles. "I wUh they were harnessed so we could ride them back to the bay," cried l'eggy. At once harnesses apnea re.d on the porpoises. Their heads became bridled nnd Middles rnt upon their bnek.s JuhI in front of th"ir Inrge fins. "How shall we get on the porpoises'?" cried 1'egg.v. Hoth the turtles nnd the porpoises were speeding so fast the chil dren couldn't swim from one to the other. v "The only way to do is to Jump ns circus riders do," answered Hilly. He rose to his feel, balanced himself on the bnck of liis turtle for 11 monunt, then leaped for tho porpoise nearest him. lie landed on top of the saddle, slipped nnd sprawled on the bnck of tho fish. Theie he clung, though the porpoise jumped and humtied like a bucking cowboy pony. He got his feet in tho stirrup and grasped the reins. At once the pon'oic became ns tamo ns a gentle horpo. It carried Hilly swishing through the wnter, never diving deep enough to drag him under the surface. Billy's turtle, which had apparently plnnned to carry htm fnr out to sea, and then pull him down to the bottom to make a menl off him, now snapped its Jaws at Hilly, but tho porpoise was go ing so fast the turtle couldn't catch It. "You had better get off your turtle," cried Billy, wben ho saw this. Peggy rose to her feet as Billy had done. Her turtle, seeing he was going to lose her, sank beneath tbe surface. But a friend ly porpoise dashed up Just nt thnt mo ment, and Peggy leaped on its back. Tho African girl and the chocolato-col-orcd youth leaped to other porpolsei. nnd then the four turned buck to shore. After them came the turtles. But the nornolses were swift, and while they lenped from tho water and dove back, 'ike playful ponies, they drew steadily nhend of the hungry' reptiles. Back through tho breakers, swish ! swnsh ! and there they were In the quiet bay. A rush through the ripples, and with a big splash the porpoises threw them off Into shallow water, giving them a jolly ducking. "Ho! Ho! Ho!" laughed Folly Wisher from the beach.

Dear Madam What Is tho proper thing to say In congratulating a parent of a recently married friend? To a brother? To a sister? What Is the proper thing to say to tho friend and wife upon visiting their newly furnished home? I have often heard and read this statement, "According to Hoyle ho la correct" 'Who Is or who was Hoy la? What rules did ho make? DOUBTFUL. "I congratulate you on the marriage of your son (or daughter)," whichever the" case may be. Is the customary ex pression to the parent of a bride or bridegroom. Or If you are at the wedding, simply shako hands and say "congratu lations." The brother and sister are not usually congratulated. Upon admiring the now homo of a friend, Just say, "How pretty It Is I" Try to mention something which appeals to you especially; for Instance, a pic ture, furniture, lighting, etc. Hoylo wns tho great Kngllnh authority on whist. He established correct rules for games as they should be played. Hence tho expression, "According to Hoyle," has come to bo used colloquially as the correct and proper thing to do for any occasion.
