Farmers Urged to Get Together.

The next regular meeting of the DsI- las Agricultural Club is scheduled for the first Thursday in May or, as 1t is writ ton upon the conventional calendar, May 5, and President Lewis Johnson has ai- ready begun to urge members of the club to attend the session. The fact that this society which can be made beneficial to the agricultural citizens of Dallas and through them of assistance to the entire County has not performed the tasks 1t set itself Is not, perhaps. creditable to the community, but 1t Is not to be con- cealed and it's members should provide against a continuation of their inertia. To make the May meeting of lively in- terest will be the endeavor of the clubs officers so that those who attend will, in the discharge of duty obtain both pleas ure cH6 profit.

CONCERNING A VOWEL
By Sidney III. Cole

repented ii the next. Her anger ma
tured slowly and was deep-rooted. Tir-
rell felt sure the end had come. No
more jolly evenings with her before the
library fire; mo more rides with her in
the crisp air of the winter mornings.
He shut his teeth and threw back his
head.
CLOSE ranks here" he growled to
himself, and to the mare, Come.
Nancy" He struck her smartly with
the crop. Nancy responded with
sidewise spring which would have un-
seated less experienced rider, and
galloped up the path at a pace that
sent the blood surging to TirrelPs
cheeks. But neither the pace of the
mare, nor the chill Of the morning, nor
his own determination to forget the
whole affair could drive Amy Linton
from his mind.
He could see her standing. as she
had last night, on the other side Of the
library table, her face white and her
say again, There is really nothing
more to be said. Mr.. Tirrell. Good
night" and he pictured her to himself
as she swept from the room, her head
poised proudly above the perfect
shoulders.
Tirrell felt something tighten IN his
throat.
Darn it," he exploded, and urged
the mare into breakneck run.
Tirrell was well out toward the reser-
voir, and still riding recklessly, when
he saw a riderless horse galloping
down the bride path. He pulled Nancy
up, and heading her in the opposite di-
rection, he rode slowly along, awaiting
the arrival of the other horse. AS 1t
came up he leaned from the saddle and
grasped the bride Of the runaway.
The horse carried a side-saddle. and
there was a white star on the forehead
that brought Tirrelps heart to his
mouth. 1t was Miss Linton's horse.
He turned Nancy, and leading the
other horse beside him, he rode up the
bride path again. They had gone but
a short distance when he espied Amy
Linton walking unconcernedly down
the path. Tirrell heaved a sigh Of gen.
uine relief.
81 was afraid you were hurt" said
he, dismounting.
The San Francisco call., 1904-02-14

NO" she said. II was Tightening the
girth when he left rather unceremon1-
ously. Stand still. Tony, you IDIOT"
she said to the horse.
Tim glad I happened along" said
Tirren. He felt rather embarrassed.
1T was kind OF you to catch him.
she said.
Tirren assisted her to mount.
May I finish out the ride with your
he asked.
Miss Linton's eyebrows were raised =
trif1e.
IF you wish." she said. coldly.
For awhile they galloped along Ia 81
lence- Tirrell suddenly drew his horse
nearer hers.
Have you any idea where I was
headed for?" he said IN q low voice.
I'm afraid haven't" she said,
still frigidly.
you remember the little hill Just
past the reservoir" he pursued, the
one where we used to ride mornings
and watch the sun sparkle the snow
on the opposite slope ?"
for q moment.
Yes" she said quietly.
'T was going out there" he said,
"and I-er-felt-oh, hang tt!-as IL
/ were going to a grave" he blurted-
There was silence again. Then Miss
Linton spoke, her head turned from
him.
II was going out there, too. IL
think I felt much the same"
AMY" he cried, and caught her
hand in his. Her head was still turn
ed from him, but the little ear nearest
him was very red.
IT am a BRUTE" he asserted.
She laughed softly.
You are" she averred, but it's
half the fight If you know it"
I'm going to reform" he said. It
need you TO help me, though"
He felt her hand tremble in his.
Lets ride this bride path" he
said, "oh, say a month from now: and
let's change it a bit Let's make that
final 'e' in bride an "a and put It
before the II. ["
She turned her head toward him,
her face flushed scarlet
