Minnesota that the state has given cities, towns and
villages recourse to license these operators heavily. The
law provides a charge of from $2 to $100 a day.

payment must have a license and wear a large badge—one
bigger than the silver dollar.
In St. Paul canvassing is regulated by a license fee of

$50 for horse-drawn or motor-driven vehicles and $2 daily

AT the age of 11, he was making 10 cents an hour. At 26,
he was broke and found a job as an automobile
mechanic.
Today, at 45, he has made a million dollars and is re-
tiring.
That’s the story of Joseph S. Donovan of Boston.
Back in the days of his childhood, while he was working
for that 10 cents an hour, he promised himself that he
would make a million and that after so doing, he would quit.
He is carrying out that promise.
Donovan’s promise was inspired by the sight of an old
man, feebly making his way by the aid of a cane to his
place of business, where he hoped to gain more millions.
The old man was already master of one. Donovan decided
he would never become a pathetic spectacle like that.
Donovan made his money selling automobiles. He was a
sub-dealer in Boston for the Studebaker corporation and
lter entered the retail automobile business on a broad
scale. . 1
Today Donovan is playing, golfing in Florida, and from
there he will go to New England for the summer. He has
turned his business over to others.
How many of us would emulate Donovan today, should
we suddenly acquire a million ? A million would buy quite
a bit of Austin real estate. Or how many of us would quit,
should we, after 34 years of hard work, reach his goal. But
Donovan has the right idea. He has gathered together
enough money to live on and a few thousand over. He
could take his million and go on making money with it, in-
vesting and re-investing as others are doing. But Donovan
is not a money worshipper. He sees something else in
life and he is going to try to get it and it is quite possible
that he will succeed, for success, after all is but con-
tentment.

CHAPTER XXXnI.
At 5 o'clock next day Barbara
went through the house. The last
moving van was just pulling away.
A womdn was sweeping the last
hesp of trash out of the lower halt
Barbara came down the stairs,
wearing her hat an coat. She paid
the woman and locked the door after
her. Then she made the rounds of
the downstairs. The rooms were
bare and the blinds were drawn.
She took a last look around the
lower hall. Then she went out and
dosed the front door.
As she was passing through the
gate, she saw Bob's, car racing down
the street. "Hello, Babs? Just came
to get you. Hop in." Barbara smiled
at him and obeyed.
"I don't know when I’ve been so
glad to see.anybody as I am to see
you tonight. Bob."
OUT-OF-TOWN peddlers are persistent animals. They
are returning to Austin, after several months relief,
following our recent anti-peddler campaign.
Today they can be found on Congress avenue, along Sixth
street and out on East avenue. From there thorough-
fares they are “working” the residential sections. And
‘working” is a splendid descriptive term to apply to the
operation of these individuals. All of us have been
“worked” at one time or another by a member of this
gentry; the most of us are now satisfied to do our trading
with our friends, resting assured that our merchandise
will be returned if it is found to be unsatisfactory We
all remember the words that made P. T. Barzum famous
—something about a sucker being born every minute.
This crop keeps the peddler rotating and knocking on doors
There are some legitimate door-knockers. These repre-
sent Austin business houses, paying taxes in the city and
ready to guarantee their goods as satisfactory. The great
majority of the peddlers, however, are itinerants in search
of suckers.

“AS far as I know, Austin is the only city whose admin-
istration has continually been opposed by the daily
papers.”—Mayor Yett.
His honor, the mayor, is eminently correct. We cannot
point to another city in Texas whose administration has
been continually opposed by the public press.
Neither can we point to another city that can boast of an
administration “perpetuating” itself in office two years
after the people have voted to eject them and their sys-
tem and try a more efficient plan of municipal government

the year but seldom occupied. Rish
men maintain them merely as a
oonvenience when town houses are
being renovated or for brief stop-
overs between Europe and Florida.
Millionaires in other cities often
have reservations by the year so
they will not face annoyance of a
crowded city upon occasional visits.
Some are even manned by personal
servants who see their employers
at rare Intervals but must be on
the job constantly.
Two South Americans have had
elaborate apartments at uptown ho-
tels for more than three years. One
has been used for a ten day period
during that time. This rather as-
tounding extravagance is said to
total a revenue of more than a mil-
lion a year for big hotels.
In a new hotel to be built it is
said one seven room apartment has
been leased for ten years to a very
rich widow who has a big town
mansion and spends the greater
portion of her time abroad. A pri-
vate elevator to her suite is to be
installed She wants it for private
functions.
Col. Edward Green, Hetty’s son,
keeps eight rooms at the Waldorf
for incidental use. Flo Ziegfeld has
an apartment at the Ritz. Also
town apartment and country place.
Then there are hundreds who keep
apartments in hotels for conven-
ience during the opera.
As a rule these renters must pay
a rate higher than the usual tariff
due to the loss the dining rooms
suffer from lack of patronage. As
a general thing the revenue from
food for the steady occupant is
about one-third of the amount of
the rent. Thus hotels desire steady
eating patrons.

down suddenly on the window sill.
There were tears in her eyes.
"Oh, , buck up, old gal.” shouted
Bob, diving into the midst of ths
ebris. “We’ll clean this up in a
jiffy.” But Barbara had to wipe
her eyes before she could face him.
At midnight, the place was begin-
ning to show signs of being habit-
able. Bob paused in the center of
the living room and, thrusting his
hands in his pockets, leaned back
and looked at the pictures that
Barbara had hung. “Every single
frame's'crooked, Babs," he said.
Barbara descended from her lad-
der and stood beside him. “So they
are," she admitted ruefully. •'Well,
I never was meant for a picture
hanger anyway.” /
“Man was not made to live alone.”
quoted Bob, "and woman wasn’t
either. You need a little male pic-
ture hanger all your own, Babs.”
Barbara smiled at him. “Are you
proposing to me. Bob?” Bob turned
and fled. At the door he turned
back. "I should say not. Heaven
forbid. Gosh no!”
‘•Well, that’s not so complimen-
tary either," reproached Barbara.
“But come back and all will be
well. I promise not to accept, even
though you should propose.”
Bob returned cautiously on tiptoe
and stood beside her, poised for
flight; “Nope, Babs," he said sol-
emnly, "I’m not a marrying man.

editor of The Stateeman, of crook-
edness in the Manners, Stone &
Reynolds firm. Manners leaves
town with ths firm’s bank de-
posits. Brucs thinks Barbara is
responsible for ths newspaper
publicity given ths affair.
Jerome Ball tells Barbara he is
going to be married.
Her mother dies suddenly and
she leases an apartment in town.
McDermott asks hsr to taks his
young daughter, FANNY McDER-
MOTT, to live with her and to act
as chaperon for thegiri. Barbara
consents.
On ths day after hsr mothers
funeral, Barbara prepares to leave
the house.
Fl! never fall. I believe firmly in
the institution, but not for myself.
I love to stand off and see my
friends get married, and say. ’Bless
you, my children,’ and then go on
about my nice Independent busi-
ness.”
“You are always urging domes-
ticity on me, though,” retorted Bdr-
bara. “You forget that I’m just as
much of a vagabond as you. And
my wings would be as hard to clip
as yours.
“Why should anybody want to
settle down with one man, when
there are so many good travelers
around. Just waiting to be friends
for while and say goodby with-
ouddregrets?"
Bob was rubbing a bruised finger.
“But there's the trouble, Baba.” he
said. “You just find one of these
good travelers and she decides to
travel away. It's such an uncer-
tain arrangement. But anyhow, it’s
better than the ball and shackles.”
He climbed the ladder, whistling.
"You and I’ll be good friends
anyway, won't we,” asked Barbara,
looking up at him from the foot of
the ladder.
"You tell ’em,” replied Bob, tilt-
ing his head to one aide and sur-
veying the picture.
When he had gone whistling
away, a little after midnight, Bar-
bara sat down in one of the living
rod chairs and looked about her.
Thia place was hers. No echoes
would sound through it save from
her own steps.

Barbara laid down hsr fork and

she said, "to jump to conclusions
like that. How do you know there
were ’circumstances,’as you put it?"
Bob stared at her, amazed. “Why,
what on earth, Barbara? I didn't
mean anything. Didn’t know you
had any interest in this Reynolds
chap. I—I’m sorry.”
Barbara’s face changed. "I
haven't,” she said. “It’s just that
I get tired of hearing idle surmise
blast reputations. I’ve seen so much
damage done by gossip, especially
since I’ve been in this work. I
shouldn't have spoken to you like

Bob was smiling again. “Never

won’t you? These last few days

said, “for all my stuff is standing
