beat tumultuously and she almost cried
out in her delight.
He came, and, fastening his canoe,
swung himself aboard the casco. Her
arms were about his neck in an in
slant, and her beautiful tresses escaped
The comb again.
They sat in the shade of the nipa
thatch talking in low tones. His arm
was round her waist. Her head rested
on his shoulder. He pulled with deep
breaths of enjoyment a cigarette that
she had daintily lit for him. The in
toxication of the country was in his
brain-the devil that whispers, 'There
is nothing but pleasure, and no time
but now"
The plunk-plunk of a guitar close by
startled them both. Simplicia trembled
violently.
ut is a foolish man who is always
singing to me- she explained.
A clear, musical voice rose in a song,
and the soldier checked a question to
listen, for the voice and the sons
charmed him from the first note. The
song was in Spanish, and, though he
was by no can perfect in the Ian
guage, he caught the meaning and
spirit Of 1t. 1t raj something to this
effect:
Bright are the leaves and the blossoms
that grow In the beautiful lake coun-
try,
They fill the place with brilliance Of
things celestial.
Some Of them drop or are thrown to the
river,
Helpless they drift on Its swift running
surface.
Down past the city through sliminess foul,
Out they are whirled to waters eternal,
Lost and forgotten forever and ever
] Blossom l cherish; I'll hold thee.

Solved the Good Foods Problem.

Those who have occasion to drive
over the public highway leading past
jim llubbard's farm on rural route No. 3,
over in Decatur County, are enthusiasts
and perfection of the road. No ruts no
chuck holes or mud-puddles are found
on the three quarter of mile road
bordering his farm. Early in the season
jim improyised a road-scraper and
smoother of his own from the wornout
blade of an old road grader and piece
Of two inch plank and has been in the
habit of hitching his team to it now and
then during the past season when other
work was not pressing, especially after
a rain and dragging it over the road.
One round trip occupying twenty min
utes time over the road did the business
and the result is a wonderful improve
ment over any other section of road in
that neighborhood. BY this process the
center of the track is kept rounded up,
the travel between rains and grading
hardening and packing the dirt, result
ing in perfect drainage and quick dry
ing after rains. AS an example Of public
spirited enterprise and good road work

THE THREE SWINDLERS
OF LORRAINE
BY VIM HAMILTON OSBORNE
Copyright, 1908 by VIM. Hamilton Osborne

The town of Lorraine was a big
town and a successful town and an
,mportant town. On the map it was
not indicated by dot or by circle
not by along shot. 1t was indicated by
what appeared to be a small piece of
irregularly shaped mosquito netting,
from which there radiated at least
half a dozen railway lines. This fixed
,ts status from the start.
But there was one thing the matter
with the town. 1t was too easy-that
was all. It's business men, as bust
ness men, were cautious and conserva-
rive. They would not buy corner lots
nor loan upon them without making
the most exhaustive examination of
the title to the land. And yet, al

to their delight. and one bright morn
ing when the chief of police rose from
MS couch he read with much surprise
IN the Lorraine Liberty Bell this
ominous headline:
Sharpe Shares With SwindIers.
AS the name of the Chief of Police
happened to be Sharpe, he considered
the suggestion to be somewhat too
personal. However, he took the pains
to read column after column upon the
subject.
Hang those fellows" he muttered
to himself, there amt a word o.
truth in what they say. But the devil
of it is" he finally concluded, that
they can prove the whole darn bust
ness"
One hour later he handed in his
resignation, drew his back pay, and
left town by a circuitous route. This
relieved the hard headed old fellows

while it robbed the papers of the de-
lights of a sensation, still it was the
easiest way out of it.
Now, in the town of Lorraine, there
was a. man whose name was Peter
f. Clancy. He was said to be an hon
est man. He was also a student of
human nature, and none of the swim
dlers who had ever come to town had
been able to come it over him. The
hard-headed old fellows made it plain
to the Mayor that Peter F. Clancy
was the man for the vacated place
of Chief of Police. The Mayor, whose
skirts perhaps were not altogether
unsullied by the Sharpe affair, hastily
acquiesced.
He started in, in the conventional
way, by talking for publication. Both

good sized wads of bills in the hands
of any smooth tongued stranger who
claimed to own mine, or an oil well,
or a gold brick. In other words, Lor-
raine was the stamping ground of
swindlers. Singularly enough, none
of these swindler's were ever caught.
Now there were in this town of Lor-
raine a few hard headed old fellows
who had been swindled once or twice
too often. They started in to watch.
And they soon discovered that the po-
lice department not only winked at
the little games played by these gem
teel swindlers, but, further, that the
police department was itself hand in
glove with them. The local papers
were put at work on the case, much

 The bill has not yet been intro duced nor has any notice of it been given in the house. l cannot say whether l will be in favor of it or not It depends on how the bill is framed. As the matter stands now cannot see how a bill could be framed that would be equitable in all the pre- cincts of the territory.
 There is absolutely no question about a bill being passed to turn the fees from the filing of articles of in corporation into the territorial treas ury. instead of having them go into the private purse of the secretary.

 This would be a matter difficult to adjust In some precincts it would be an advantage while in others it would not. In precincts like that of Bisbee, the officers could not afford to work on any fixed salary short of a large one. In some of the precincts of the
