Tn the same community, there has recently arrived Arnold Driscoll, who, by modern methods and good business application, is making n success. AlIhough Driscoll furnishes employment to many popple, lie is decidedly unpopular. Unknown to the community, there was another real reason for Andy Freeman’s decision to bring his wife to Buckeye Bridge—revenge, His warped imagination had conceived the thought that hv forcing his wife to see Driscoll every day, ho would cause her ore at mental anguish, as lie- had discovered that in years gone by.
