 But Olivia was sure that the farm CTS team which came to her aid a few moments afterward was of his sending, and though she told herself 1t was the uneventfulness of her life that made the afternoons occurrence seem of. So much importance, yet she took pleasure in mentally recalling each incident. Indeed, so much did Will loughby occupy her thoughts that she was scarcely surprised when few days later, scudding home against wind that presaged a storm, a turn Of the road brought Willoughby into view. He was on his knees in the mid dle of the road. apparently investi- gating his gasoline tank,
 The sparker doesn't connect" he said, in answer to her question, and quickly accepted her offer of assis- tance. They started homeward in com pIete reversal of the parts they had played before. Now 1t was OliVia's motor that went gallantly ahead, while Willoughby and his car trailed in the rear They were still some twenty miles from Oakdale, the wind was steadily rising and few great drops of rain began to fall.
 Now" thought Olivia as they sped forward, q have cancelled the debt. We are square. There need be no further exchange of courtesies." Yet even as this crossd her mind her motor came to a sudden jarring stop. Both she and Willoughby alighted

There-you see!' and his car began puffing with an alacrityl which might have awakened Olivia's suspicious, but she had no chance to analyze her emotions.
 Its a good thing my machine is covered" he went on, flor we are go- ing to have bit of storm" He snatched up his dust colored coat and held 1t out for her. I'm sorry It's so cumbersome" he said, smiling, though at least it's a protection"
 Olivia was lost in the folds of 1t, and the wind whipped her veil out banner like as she stepped into Will loughbys car. The storm had broken on them, and the rain drove blindingly in their faces. Trees. fields and road seemed plotted out, The rain was still coming down in torrents as the two machines spurted up the gravel drive way under the Foresters porte-cochere, and Willoughby opened the door for Olivia as though none of his family had set foot within the Forester grounds In lifetime.
 Olivia, disheveled and breathless, stood dripping In the hall while her father in, passion of resentment list ened to the story of her afternoon s adventure And in the house across the way young Wilioughby unused with an unlighted pipe between his lips.

 The first thsee days of Rthis week Chief ZLmmtr's Little Rock team Is at Athletic Park and Thursday, Friday and Saturday Memphis closes the sea son in Montgomery. as was the case The 1908 season has been by no means a succsss in Montgomery. Indi- vidually the team this season has been above the average Just as has been the case for the' past few years the team was put in a hole by a lot of experiments.
 Even after. the team was strength ened, however, there was plenty of time to make fast finish if any kind of heady. scientific ball playing had been injected into the work Except on very rare occasions the greatest asset known to a successful ball team inside work-has been virtually a

 The best comparison in proving this mingham teams. The local team has easily outhit the Birmingham aggre- gation ali season-both individually and coilectively--but the magnificent inside team work instilled into the Birm. .ng- ham team by Harry Vaughan has so far overcome the lack of hitting in that team that this latter branch of the game has been lost sight of
 The wisdom of Vaughan's course is proven by the position he now holds For several seasons past he has shown himsele to be one of the best managers in the South. and here in Montgomery the fans all take their hats off to him. He has won the 1906 pennant and if ever man deserves 1t he does
 With team playing good ball Mont gomery is IS good a baseball town as there is Tn the circuit. The local fans are not unreasonable enough to expect the team to win all the games, but they do want some real baseball It will be good policy in the local man agement to get fast team to start the season of 1907. Experiments along in the spring and even as far as the 1st of June have had lots to do with the local failure for several years past. The first lick means a vast deal in anything and in baseball 'good start is pretty near half the battle. Base ball next season will be better pat right.
 A word to the wise is sufficient.

 Why what began oliya, and then stopped. The look in wiIiough- by's eyes was not one of banter.

 Always" she answered. and from the Autumn slope of the hill down which they rode 1t seemed as if the whole world lay golden before them.
 But their dream was restined to end with startling abruptness when Will loughby wrote to her father, for 1t gave the old gentleman grim satisfaction to refuse all terms of conciliation. He cherished the feud because 1t belonged to the old order of things, and for him custom was not easily uprooted. To Olivia's many entreaties he made the same obdurate answers. But there was in her a spark of the same un- quenchable fire that burned In him, and his determination famed its embers to blaze as she went quietly on with her preparattons--prepa of which no one knew save Willoughby and MT. MacWurter,. the village jus tice, who had known Olivia since child hood.
 This is romantically old fashioned enough to suit even your father" de- clared WilIoughby as they sped through the moonlit night on their way to the s:15 o'clock train.
 Olivia's answer was a clutch on his a,N1 -L. gNEy. ing followed! It's father-in my ma chine-with Murray the groom"
 Willoughby's chauffeur put on full speed and the waiting MacWurter was caught up with cyclonic rapidity. The car was still plunging forward at a terrific rate as he jolted out the words of the hurried ceremony. It was a race for love and the auto won barely won; they had not reached the village station before the other machine came alongside.
 For the first time in many years old Chiffon Forester had been completely taken out of himself The long stretch of road. white in the moonlight, the crisp air of night rushing past him, had filled him with tremendous sx~ hilaration. He half forget the lovers in the keenness of this new sensation. His blood felt like wine in his veins. The ivory tint of his face had taken on glow. His eyes sparkled. To Olivia's startled gaze he looked strangely young. Of the torrent of de- nunciation that the runaway pair had expected there was none. You young fools," said Chiffon Forester pleasant ly, you young foolsH And then, leaning toward his son-in-law. he in- quired with passionate interest: What is the make of your machtneY

T: THE GRADUATION ;

Commencement week with all its
triumphs, joys and sadness at parting
with schoolmates has gone, and with
it the memory of happy week. The
Paw Paw schools, under the direction
of Prof. O'Leary and his assistants,
have reason TO be proud of the COM
meucement exercises of 1906 From
the beginning, when the primary
department presented their unique
program at the opera house, TO the
last number, no hitch in the program
was apparent. With the exception of
one or two, every number was given.
The decorations and stage settings at
the opera house were beautifully ar
ranged, the motto "Gradatim" form
ing an arch beneath which the chill
dren played their parts. Each de-
partment gave some special feature
that did credit TO its teacher, and all
taking part We'd with each other in
doing their best. The program given
by the primary department Wednes-
day morning was as follows:
