blowing and curling and drifting
against closed door, and where the
patient flock, nose to nose and body
to body for warmth, bleated for the
shepherd who did not come.

"If you don't stay" and now she

The new minister was speaking en-.
Enthusiastically, yearning to move this
lethargic people. The boy listened
with face alight. Through the long
hours of his childhood he had sat
in the sunshine and dreamed of great
deeds. With the awakened i'm.
pulses of youth, he had tramped the
forests and wondered what life meant
to the men who were not of the noun
tains. And now he knew, for the
minister was voicing the doctrine of
endeavor. 1t was not emotion that
made the world better, but energy;
one must not only dream, but one
must do. The great men were those
who were faithful in the little things.
Remember that tonight we make
merry" he said, finally, but in the
year to come we must work-work
for the souls that are within the
fold; and as the shepherd cares fer
his sheep, so must we care for those
who are astray"
"As the shepherd cares for his
sheep" The words struck the boy
with the force of a blow. He half
rose in his seat, but the girl reached
out restraining hand.
Stay" she commanded, but the
boy looked at her with unseeing
eyes.

when the boy unlocked it.
Inside was rude fireplace, and
wood was piled beside it. The boy
built a great fire, and the flock, re-
treating before the blaze, lay down
on the trodden straw with soft sounds
of content. Then the boy brought
in two weak ewes, and laid them
close to the flames, and watched
them anxiously until they revived and
staggered back to their fellows.
For a long time after that the boy
sat in front of the fire and thought
of the girl. She would go home with
his rival, and they would part at
the door. The boys face flushed
and his hand clenched as he thought
of the parting. Would She

flung it open. Outside the stars were

him and the girl there was the bar

done his duty, and she had not un-

In the morning he broke path
down the mountain. The sun shone
and the sky was blue and the
world sparkled after the storm. When
he reached a certain clearing he stop
ped and looked over the glistening ex-
pause toward the girls house. Sud-
denly his eye was caught by a flash OF
pink. Through that white, white
world the girl was coming to meet
him!
AS she came up, he put out both
hands and took her smaller ones in

The girl felt a new dignity in his
manner. She blushed and trembled,
then her lips quivered. Il went

Into his face came all the ten

IN TAXES

The following bill was intro
duced In the House last Saturday
providing for debt for the coun-
ty of not over $4,000. 1t Is en-
titled an act to authorize the COM
missioners to consolidate and re-
fund the floating debt of the
county. It states the debt was
incurred thro' maintaining the
chain gang, for iron bridges, re-
tanning walls on court house
and improving grounds, and for
other necessary expenses.
It empowers the commissioners
to consolidate and refund thefloat
ing, not bonded, debt, and allow 8
them to issue claims or script not
exceeding $12, 900, to bear interest
not over 8 per cent.
The commissioners shall at the
June meeting and annually there
after for three years levy a special
tax upon all the, taxable property
and polls of the county in an a.
mount not exceeding thirty cents
on the hundred dollars worth of
property and ninety cents on the
poll.
Rector says the bill was sent
him by o. V. F. Blythe, who rep
resents the county commissioners.
Looks like the board is in distress
and wishes the legislature to help
pull it's chestnuts out of the fire.
It would seem in better taste for
the measure to be approved by

ther information, at the instance
