From Mica.

We farmers are beginning to
want to see somo rain, as every
thing is getting dry with us, and
while our crops have not suffered
much for rain up to this time,
yet few more days of dry wealth.
er and they will.
Allen X. Edens, of Knob, was
in this section last week looking
after some of his real estate. MIR.
Edens reported crops as good in his
section.
Since we began this, the much
hoped for rain has come and the
wind came with it, blowing down
the corn pretty bad in some places.
1t seems that the correspondents
are tagging behind, but l guess
they ere like us, haven't had time
to write. We hope they will all
fall into line and give us the news
We motto, that there were some
on the jury tins time that haven't
been on before III ten years, while
there are probably some on it this
,,time that were never on the jury
Ian their lives before and may never
'sbe again. We have known good
olnd intelligent men to live to u
'ipe old age and die in this county
without ever having been drawn on
Jury, unless it was a coroner's jury
ior OH case before a magistrate,
where he never received a penny
tor his services. Sometimes the
same man will appear on the petit
Jury twice in the year, again hr
Will be OH at one term of court in
lthe year, We would like to know
why this is the case, when one man
,is as much entitled to be On the
ijury as ano ether, as every one Of us
have to bear our part Of the taxes.
Now, we repeat the question, why
ado not those who attend to the
drawing Of the jury arrange it so
as to not have almost the same
kmen on the jury every time, but
take different ones each time, so
that after awhile all of US would
be represen ted on the jury. This
would only be equal rights to all,
special privileges to none" We
dislike to be called chronic grum
'bler, but we cannot refrain from
speaking about this question just
now. Tanta Bogus.

boss would explain TO him; "thc horses
know you're new, and they're just hav-

Barnes, on the other hand, warned
him that all the horses were only half
broken in, that they needed constant
watching, and couldn't be trusted for

There was one man in the party to

That gave Barnes an idea

AS Honor, with eyes flashing their
joy, got off her last horse and was
helped on Kentucky again by Uncle
Dick, she threw her head back with a
startled air, and asked him if he did
not smell burning grass.
Uncle, is it a prairie fire, do you
think?"
Uncle Dick replied that it must be,
for he had noticed a thin, dark line
of smoke far across the creek. ut
can't reach us. The ranch is safe, un-
less it leaps the Walnut" he declared
reassuringly.
Il was thinking of the schoolhouse, .
she replied hurriedly. as the judges
called the contestants. "School began
in Gerald's district to-day, and his
sister let her little daughter go with
Rose William" and then she rode in
to the ring
Uncle Dick looked at his watch, and
saw that it was about time far school
to close for the day. Then he looked
over 10 the north. The smoke was
rolling up black and thick. He could
see an eating line of red. The
sun was beginning to look like
a yellow haze and the air was
dense and heavy with the odor of bunr-
ed grass.
IF the wind should RISE" he NUT
tered, and just then a puff lifted the
broad brim of his sombrero. He gazed
nervously over the broad prairie be-
tween the fair grounds and the ranch.
If the wind veered a point or two the
schoolhouse would certainly be in dan
ger. He heard great shout go up.
and turned just in time to see the Judge
nand Honor silver-mounted whip and
pair of gloves. She turned her head
to look for Gerald's approval, and saw
the clouds of smoke rolling up Vicious
ly. She brought the new whip down
on the TANKS of Kentucky, and duiv-
ering with fright. the blooded animal
reached Uncle Dick and Gerald in two
leaps.
THE Centennial schoolhouse" she
gasped, pointing with her whip.
Until that moment the prairie fire,
so common a thing with plains-bred
people, had not been noticed In an
instant ali was confusion. Miss JEFF
ferson screamed and called Gerald 10
lift her off her horse. Mrs. Bridges.
Gerald's sister, promptly tainted, and
his mother turned white. Gerald leap
ed from the buggy and went, not to
Miss Jefferson, who. was moaning hys-
terically, but to Honor. He laid his
hand on the mares neck.
May I take her, Honor? Winona Is
over there"
Before he could touch her Honor
slid TO the ground. The saddle was
torn off. and mounting the quivering
creature. Gerald gave her a cut with
the prize whip which Honor thrust
into his hand. and he was off over the
hill toward the fire. followed by half
dozen men on horseback.
Just then Honor heard a whinny, and
cold nose was thrust against her
cheek. With a scream Of Joy she
threw her arms around Cyclones neck.
The faithful little mustang had broken
his lariat rope and had followed his
mistress. Catching the trailing rope.
Honor tied II bride fashion I'm the hall
ter. then slipping out OF the velvet
riding skirt and tearing OF the long
gauntlets and the plumed hat. she
jumped on Cyclone.
