While ] don't moan TO convey the i'm
preston that anything has been decided
upon in the matter Of the proposed cX-
tension. yet we found that via the Spring
route II will be cutting thirty miles OIL
the distance to North Texas, and thus
means whole lot in railway construction.
"At the present moment, however there
is nothing official that can be given out
Mr.. Trice may decide TO recommend that
the international and Great Northern
build to Beaumont and Orange both, ana
then again he may decide not to do so.
You can therefore see that matters are
right where they were when we started.
Yes. | have seen the story that we
were going to build into New Orleans
But that is just what no one knows any
thing about at present II the lnterna'
tiona and Great Northern reaches Orange
there is no telling what they will do Per-
sonally would like to see them build TO
the Crescent city
Mr. Booth said the decision Of the com
puny in regard to the extensions mentioned
would be made known In the near future
but Just at what time he could not say
may he ten days or two weeks, and may
he longer.

1t was struggle between Arson Da-
Wis and Caleb Jones as to who should
win the love and the hand of Mary
Doyle. There was rivalry, but no Ill
feeling. When Caleb won the prize, An
son slapped him on the back and said:
"All right, Caleb. You are the lucky
man. don't believe l was ready to
marry just yet anyhow. I'll wait two
or three years and then marry your
widow"
That's mighty kind of you." answer
ed Caleb. II have heart trouble and
may not live year, and the thought
that you'll take my place will make me
die content"
Six months after the marriage Caleb
Jones went down to the city on bust
ness. He had never been drunk In his
life, but he got drunk to celebrate this
occasion. While In a befuddled state
he was carried aboard OF a ship bound
for the east, and when his sober senses
returned he was on blue water. Mean
while. as he did not return to his vii
lage home, an alarm was raised, and
for the space of three weeks Caleb fig
ured in the public press and police re-
ports as "mysteriously missing" Then
body was found In the river, identi-
fed as his and shipped home for burial.
Soon after the funeral Arson Davis
called on the widow and said:
"Mary, | don't know whether Caleb
ever told you about It or not, but there
was an understanding between us that
in case he died was to step into his
shoes"
II believe he did mention something
of the kind" replied the relict.
THAT was kind Of him and saves any
further explanation. guess you
thought almost as much OF me as you
did Of him, but he happeped TO save
your life from n COW one day while
was out OF town. Poor Caleb! We
shall miss him and mourn for him, but
at the end Of the year we'll be mar
ried."
That settled 1t. The days and weeks
and months went by, and the widow
put Off her weeds and Arson bought
his wedding suit. The marriage day
was set, the friends were invited and
