TheTownof
Hollowell
By EUNICE BLAKE
Edgar Wharton when he cnme of age |
Inherited 510,000. He did not consider
the amount sufficient to compete in
trade with the larger concerns doing
business in the city and formed a plan
to go west and grow up with the coun
try. But with the whole west to
choose from he was at a loss whore to
betake himself.
One day he received a circular direct
ing his attention to the town of Hol
lowell, in a new fledgcil state beyond
the Missouri river. The circular named
numerous advantages that Hollowell
possessed. The climate was a per
petual summer; the earth was so rich
that seeds dropped anywhere would
produce in abnmlanee; the water was
as clear as crystal.
"That's just what I'm looking for!"
exclaimed Edgar, and lie went right
off to his flancee to tell_her about it.
She was so delighted with the descrip
tion of flollowell that she said nothing
would please her better than to live
in such a place, whereupon Edgar
proposed that since the distance there
and return was great they lie married
and gJTlhere to remain. To tin's the
iroung lady agreed. They were wed.
and, prepared to settle in Hollo well,
they started west.
The circular was signed by one Al
ilionse Iloneydieu, a real estate agent,
svho was selling town lots in Hollowell
like hot cakes. Wharton wrote him
that he was coming, and .Mr. Iloney
dieu, who proved to I16 a French
Canadian, met him at the station, a
handsome brick structure that bespoke
prosperity for the town. lie took
them to his house in a S3,Win auto and
insisted on their being his guests while
they looked about them. After a rest
overnight he took them on a tour of
Inspection, calling their attention to va
rious properties that he h: 1 sold aud
resold at rising prices, making a num
ber of persons rich. On the outskirts
Df the town was a very large factory
surrounded by a forest of noble trees,
i part of which had been cut down and
the timber removed. Mr. Honeydleu
explained tint the factory was used
for the manufacture of wood paper
uid employed 2,WO hands. It was
shut down at the time for. the purpose
if putting in additional machinery, but
would be started again Id a week or
Then the couple were driven back to
the town and stopped at the library,
which had been founded by Mr. Gard
ner nollowell, the president and prin
cipal owner of the wood paper compa
ny. There was no one in the building
except the librarian, a young woman
who was spending her time embroid
ering. Mr. Honeydieu explained that
books eould be taken from the library
and the citizens of Hollowell usually
read them in their Insurious homes.
Mr. Honeydieu told Wharton that
there was a tract of land that he
thought he could get for him at a bar
gain in the direction toward which the
town was growing. The owner had re
sently died and his estate must be set
tled within a given period. There was
but little time to effect a eftle, and he
thought the property could be bought
for a song. In a year or two it would
be worth a fabulous sum. He drove
the bride and groom out to look at it.
ind they were much pleased.
Wharton told Honeydieu that he
wouldn't trouble him to take liim and
his wife in his auto any more. They
would walk about and see the town
for themselves. Th^reB^estate agent
protested against thfs, saying that his
car was especially intended for his
clients; that ho expected a dozen or
two at once in a few days, but just
now there was an interval. He
couldn't think of permitting them to
walk. Edgar insisted, and Honeydieu,
when lie found that he couldn't pre
vent Wharton from having his own
way, reluctantly consented.
When they were alone Mrs. Wharton
remarked to her husband that for such
a prosperous place Hollowell looked
very quiet. Mr. Wharton said that
there were not so many persons in the
streets as might have been expected.
Meeting a man, Wharton stopped him
and was on the point of asking him
some questions about the location
when Honeydieu swung around a cor
ner in his car, interrupting the con
versation by telling Wharton that he
had got a price on the property he
had shown him so low that it fairly
took his breath away.
Mrs. Wharton expressed a desire to
do some shopping and insisted on her
husband accompanying her. This shut
off Mr. Honeydieu, and the couple
were left to themselves. Entering a
dry goods store, a clerk who had evi
dently been asleep came forward.
"What's the matter with this place?"
asked Mrs. Wharton. "There are a
number of attractive buildings, and it
looks prosperous, but there are few
people in the streets, and there is an
absence of hurry."
"I don't mind telling you," said the
clerk, "since I'm going away tomor
row, that the town was built by the
Wood Paper company. For some rea
son or other, tariff or trust, the plant
has been left to rot away, and every
one who bought property here at high
prices is trying to sell out for, what lie
can get."
The Whartons had left their baggage
at the station. There they proceeded
and took the next train for home.
Wharton accepted a clerkship and in
vested his inheritance. He is doing
very well.
