The friends parted-Dr. Leigh Left
the room. Dick LeMays looked earn
estly at the door he had just passed
through.
There goes" he said, zone of the
best men in all the universe. One to
whom | can searce keep from bowling
as to God. / have, since our boy
hood days, placed him before me as a
model to shape myself by. In our
school days, / never knew him to be
guilty of an act that man might not
be proud of. Noble, sincere, pure and
upright, he has done more by his ex-
aEple to restrain my too yielding ma
ture than ali the homilies to which i
have eyer listened. Without. his de-
pertinent before me shudder to think
whatI might have been, with my dis
position TO be led into paths of vice
and dissipation BY others of our age"
His reverie was interrupted By the
entrance of Larry, with the paper.
We'll, Larry, what is the news this
morning p inquired Dick, after reeeiv-
ing the paper.
How can l tell, seeing yer honor has
the paper"
Il mean, is there anything stirring
on the stEeet2"
"Oh, yis, the people are all out this
purity morning and stirring briskly
about their business"
Dick saw there was nothing to be
gained by this manner of questioning,
so concluded to change his tactics.
Larry, what are we to do now.
Miss Lynn is gone, DIR. and Mrs. Leigh
will soon follow; we will be out of
place to spend our leisure"
Och, hone, it will be myself that
will be broke up enthirely. / wish

"Ann, me honey, tould me so"
How did she knowY'

was shamming wild yes; that she was

sleeping and sich."
THAT does not show a very great
stage Of decadenes.
Il don't know what yer honor names
by decaydence, but it shows love
strong"
"You can drive around for me this
evening. DIR. Leigh and l are going to
the bluff"
THAT | will, yer honor, but there is
that l would like to say till

What is it? be in a hurry; it is
time l was gene to the bank"
Larry blushed, pulled his locks,
stepped back. bowed, and said,

IF it is because yer honor thinks
yea are paying me too much, could
live on less mebbe."
LeMays burst into laugh as Larry
and replied, never mind, III
