The Village of

"We've missed HI We're nothing
hut a way-back settlement now."
Tliiih .lured Bros* of tbe board of
trustees of the neat, picturesque, but
Isolated town of Ho|ievllle, spoke.
"Vou mean tbe rallroud has missed
ua," corrected Phillip Dawes, presi-
dent of this same board of trustees.
"Well, gentlemen, that ahall not pre-
vent lliipevllle coutlnuing to do Itaall
proud, I trust, as a uiodel village with-
out a blemish."
Very proud of the community is
had helped build up was Phillip
Dawes, and he spoke with enthuslaaa.
' He had always predicted great thlaga
In store for Hopeville. Never a village
of fairer location and envlronmeal. |
| "Some day Hopeville will forge la
the frout," was bis opUmlstlc slogan—
"some day values will go up, snS
each mun come Into hie own."
When the new railroad was talked
of, old residents began to boost their
acres und town lots as to values,
llojte* rose high, then they .were eee-
res|n>iidlngly depressed, for the rail-
road made a detour, and Byron, quite
a busy little city eight miles distant,
was made tbe terminus of the new
brunch line railway.
"Wish I'd settled there as I Intend
ed to ten yeurs ago!" grumbled dis-
loyal and disagreeable Jared Bross.
"There's some go to Byron. I duo't
care If they do encourage a riff raff
crowd—stir and sensutlon bring la the
dollars, don't they?"
"But we don't wunt the dollars that
way." Insisted Dawes.
Bross bad a strong personal reason
for being disgruntled with HopevlUa.
He was a man of some means and his
son. Bradley, bad married a poor,
humble girl. Tbe old mun had railed
at the secret match, and had protnirtly
disturbed his disoliedlent son. Nellie
Horton. whom Braiiley bad married,
was an orphan, but lier parent* had
left her u small farm Just out of town.
There the wedded pulr settled down.
"That boy will rue the day he dis-
regarded my advice!" the elder Brnes
had said one day to Dawes.
"Oh. nonsenseretorted his ueigh-
lior. "Bradley Is a good boy. The
(Mtor young pair have bard scratch-
ing. fierhaps. hut they're happy ami
contented as two birds In s nest "
"llutn|ih!" commented the iron-
besirted father, snd went bis way sul
lenly and unlovely.
So Byron got the railroad and what
went with It. b<>th good and had
There was a good ileal of grumbllnK
In llopevllle. and In a men«ure Phil
lip Ihiwe* was lnok -d upon a« a dlsap-
ter, trienasT" smiied Dawes, -mat's
the merit of It. It is Hopeville water,
though not from the home well. Uen-
tlemen, you hare drnnk of the soon-
to-be-celebrated Llthla-Magneslum wa-
ter, specially presented to you to
Introduce the last requirement this
beautiful district needed to make It
famous."
"Say. what lire you driving at, any-
how?" Inquired Bross bluntly.
"Just this," explained Dawes.. MI
reasoned from tbe first tiiat the new-
railroad would open up a popular out-
ing resort somewhere along Its line.
Well, gentlemen, for two months 1
have been negotiating with wealthy
promoters In the city. The deal Is
closed, a big hotel at the head of the
lake, and people will come to Hope-
ville next season, dead loads of them."
Voices aroee In eager demands for
more detailed Information. Property
and rents would go up! The towu
stores would quadruple their business! j
Tbe rich golden hurvest was coming
at last!
"But what about this horrible tast-
ing water?" queried Bross, with a
wry face.
"Pronounced by chemists the most
healthful beverage in the world,"
boasted Dawes proudly, "a true min-
eral water. When the promoters
learned that, they offered flO.tioo cuah i
for the spring it came from."
"And where Is that?"
"Down In a forgotten corner wf that
poer, neglected farm your hoy lives
en over In tlie ravine. Now. Neigh
hor Bross, as all the town Is happy
ever the grand general prosperity
abend of us. supple you go down to
the lavlne farm snd congratulate
yea son. Bradley, and his wife on
their share In the general good luck?"
Aad thus It was that the name of
the poplar Dawes became a house-
