 No more partners, both sad at heart but both too proudt acknowl- edge that he was the least in the wrong, they shook hands coldly and separated civilly enough. Since then they had not seen one another. Katy Holt kissed the girls at the school goodbye, took her books in a grip sack, turned her back on the class room with something of a choking sensation, for she liked study and the association es the young girls at the school, and the next day her father was surprised to see her just at night fall come into his camp.
 Good old dad," she said laughing gayly and saucily, "I'll bet that we will have a lot of fun here together. I have been awfully lonesome away from you and I know that you wanted to see me all the time. I have brought my l am not housekeeper."
 Tom Holt smiled, the first time in 8 month, and felt better already.
 Three days before Thanksgiving a large package was brought into camp by Indian Jack. It was addressed to Miss Katy Holt She took it and gave orders that no one was to open It.
 What is it all about, Sis?" asked her father.
 Something for Thanksgiving-the best of all, and surprise if I can keep it so."
 Then the next day a letter came for Katy, which she opened hurriedly and read with beating heart. It was from her Uncle Will. As she turned the pages-there were many of them-a twenty-dollar bill rustled out. On it was pinned slip of paper with the words, For Katy"
 A sudden light came into her eyes She called her father and told him that she wished to ride to the town at once and wished Indian Jack to go with her. Consent being given, she was soon under way, galloping over the trails with speed.
 "S2ch a pretty idea," she said; land so romantic. Where did I get it? Wouldn't the girls think it too sweet for anything?"
 Part way to the town the trail forked. One fork went to the other mfd nf hn foi fo Uncle Wills mining camp was. She turned her horse sharply and rode in that direction, Indian Jack following close after.
 , Hello, Uncle Billy" she cried, as she reached the camp. When she was particularly fond she always called Uncle Will Billy" and he understood and liked the nickname when she spoke it.
 She leaped from her horse, fairly dragged Uncle Will into his cabin and there talked with him for a long time He shook his head repeatedly, stamp ed two or three times and would have said some hard words but that Katy each time covered his mouth with kisses and then she hugged him and said:
 Now, Uncle Billy, you know vol will make your little girl the sad dest of any one in the world if yor say mo- and she will be the happies if you caly will say yes"
 Well" answered Uncle Will, 'it i. the bitterest pill of my life, but will do it; but mind you. Katy, 1t i. all Cor you"
 Thank you, dear; you are the bes Uncle Billy in all the world"
 "But mind, not word to Tom" "Not word, Uncle"

SCHOOL MERGER HELD LEGAL.
Polk County Judge Holds Des Moines
Consolidation All Right.

Consolidation All Right.
Des Moines.-The school merger
law passed by the last legislature IS
constitutional. It's adoption by the
people of Des Moines was regular.
Members of the West Des Moines
School board will govern the CONSOLE
dated district, including seventeen sep
arate districts, now one. This IN
short is the substance of Judge Jesse
Miller's decision
Some time after the school merger
law was adopted by the people, May
27, w. E. Pritchard and other began
action in the district court, claiming
the law to be invalid. They said:
1t took away personal rights for
public purposes. 1t jeapordized con-
tracts. 1t was class legislation IN
that it was enacted for Des Moines.
Other charges were made. They
claimed that the defendants, the West
Des Moines school board, had no right
to govern the consolidate district be-
cause the legislature had no right to
appoint them. They asked that they
be restrained from proceeding with
the business of the district.
Judge Miller in the latter instance
holds that inasmuch as the people,
May q, adopted the provision OF the
new law they in fact elected the mem.
bers Of the West Des Moines school
board as the law provided.

The Tell Tale Voice.

IF you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes"
said a Denver bank teller to some
friends. 1T is the voice, when you
don't look at the eyes, that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank.
A man will come in to tell us some
business tale. We look at his feet or
bis hands or his knees, but never in
bis eyes. If he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm and Straightforward,
and the absence Of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect it. But If he's
lying he'll be confused by your &C.
ton, and his voice will tremble; he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat.
You may rest assured then that he's
stringing you"

Rre) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid by the state;
the recipient of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount of their correspondence and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent. It Is joke among
the easy-going Spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most letters whether they are in
tended for him or not.
