Saturday night, when Jerry, going home
had oyortaken her trampng along toward
her own home, two miles toward Westwood
TO sreh her mother till morning, and had taken
her in aud driven her to her very door And
he had found that she went home nearly

What had she sndl Only that she would take
n ta.Geron roast, about SIX pounds. But he
had her blue eyes and hor pretty, IadyIike
ways to think about; and thipl; OF Them he
did, almost grInuing IN his scontcntmnut, And
when Cooley the young Westwo1d baker
came up alongside Of him and began To talk,
he wished him in Texas
Cooley eyed him Truth was that when,
delivering his roIlsa at Mrs, Earrings, he had
offered Susy broad compliment along with
them, she had irowned and disappeared
sharply.

Guess you better step down, Jerry, my boy

ashy hued and wild eyed, turned his horse up
another road with II dash. 1t would take

only course; hc knew that II Cooley said an
