National Sales: COOKS IMPERIAL EXTRA DRY CHAMPAGNE permanently. The death rate is the lowest for any territory of equal size in this part of Long Island. The property is high and dry.’'’ “That is very desirable,’’ said Mrs. Griggs. ‘‘A healthy location”’—— “Yes, but listen!’’ said Mr. Griggs enthusiastically. ‘‘‘We guarantee a clear title. We care for the entire prop- erty, maintaining the roads and walks, keeping the grass and numerous flower plots in perfect condition without cost to the owners. Several New York gen- tlemen of wealth are now erecting mar- ble structures. Every day ground is being broken for a new permanent home for some one.’ “‘We should buy at once,” said Mrs. Griggs, catching the enthusiasm, ‘if the price is not too high."” “‘Wait!’’ said Mr. Griggs. ‘Hear this: ‘Our plots are all full size. Build- ing lots in the immediate vicinity sell for $800 to $1,000. By a plot we do not mean a so-called ‘‘lot,’’ twenty by eighty feet. We do not sell ‘‘lots’’; we sell “*plots,’’ and each full size. Our prop- erty is beautifully wooded, with hand- some trees, and lies high. We allot the plots in the order of purchase, but we guarantee you will be as comfortable in one as inanother. The price is seventy- five dollars. No installments. No so- called “easy payments.’? Send your money and you will receive your deed to the plot allotted you by return mail.’ ’’ “Henry,” said Mrs. Griggs eagerly, “send that money at once! Don’t delay aminute! This is the opportunity we have been looking for!”’ “Perhaps I had better wait and ask Branton. He lives in Westcote and’’—— “Don't wait for anything!'’ com- manded Mrs. Griggs. ‘‘Send the money! If you don’t, the plots will be sold. Such bargains don’t remain idle. And you'll be apt to spend the moey for folly before you ever see Branton.”” So Mr. Griggs sent the money. The next day he did meet Branton. “Hello, George!"” he said to Branton. “I'm apt to be a neighbor of yours be- fore long. Just bought a bit of prop- erty out your way.”” “Glad to know it!’’ said Branton. ‘*Hope you didn’t get stuck. Wish you had seen me before you bought. I know a couple of lots you could get for six hundred and fifty apiece’’—— “How about seventy-five dollars?’’ asked Griggs, chuckling. ‘‘How about that price for a whole plot? High ground, beautifully wooded, marble a Wine Jelly when flavored with Abbott's Bitters is made more delightful and healthful. Sample by mail, 25 cts, in stamps. C. W.

Why—yes —yes! Ah—beautiful place, beautiful place! Seventy-five dollars, hey? High ground? Beautifully wooded? Marble structures? Best families there? Lowest death rate? Permanent free upkeep? Oh, yes! Yes, that’s all true, just as the brochure says, exactly as it says; but’?—— “The company isn’t crooked, is it?’’ asked Mr. Griggs uneasily. “Oh, no, no; but’?—— “Now, look here, Branton,’’ said Griggs, ‘‘don't act that way! If there is anything wrong, tell me. Aren’t the plots full size?’’ “Yes; but’?—— “Oh, speak out, man! But what?’’ “Oh, nothing, nothing, except that Walnut Grove is a cemetery. ‘Low death rate—high ground—permanent residents—marble structures—comfort- able there’— Oh, yes, that’s right! ‘Full-sized plots.’ That’s right. Well, glad you are coming to Westcote, Griggs —ah—sooner or—ah—later!’" “Huh!” said Mr. Griggs; and he crossed the street and bought a tortoise- shell comb inlaid with Moresque filagree, against meeting Mrs. Griggs.
