Dn6R lfve oak they spread tho %
per napkins which Ivy had bsouRhk
and arranged the lunch upon them.
Hughes soon caught the happy spirit
Of his companion, and, throwing his
mask of conscious restraint aside. he
talked and laughed with her with the
pleasure OF boy.
THE spring must furnish US tea"
she said. handing Hughes her pretty
silver folding cup. He quickly filled it
from the spring near by. Then he
passed the cup to her. II did not think
Of having company" she said apollo
get1cally, touching the rim daintily
with her pretty lips. II wish had an

''Pm glad you haven't" protested
Hughes heartily. II like this one best"
taking the cup from her hands and
drinking.
For minute Ivy made no reply.
Then she looked at the man sitting op-
posite her as If in doubt of his mean
ing. The next instant she smiled frank
~ and said:
"Well, I think do too"
The half serious simplicity of her
speech amused Hughes, and, throwing
back his head, he laughed in real en-
joyment.
I'm sure we'll get on all right" he
said, still laughing.
Hughes declared there never was
such lunch. The greatest Thanks
giving feast in the land was nothing
compared with this. The cold, pure
water which they slipped in such. good
comradeship from the one cup he was
sure outrivaled the nectar Of all the
gods.
All too soon it was finished, and they
sat back under the live oak silent, but
happy. Suddenly Ivy realized it was
midafternoon and she had twelve miles
to ride back to the ranch. Tomorrow
there would be school and the old rou-
tine Of duties. Today held sunshine,
laughter, joy; the next would be filed
with the daily grind and hard tasks.
Watching her from under the wide
rim Of his hat, Warde Hughes saw the
weary expression begin to settle over
Ivy Norris face, and he understood.
Left an orphan after finishing school,
his loneliness had driven him west.
Here temperate habits and sterling
principles had won him success. Now
a woman, loving the freedom Of his
hills as he loved it, had entered his
life. Suddenly he beheld vision-a
vision of liberty for both. Immediate
~ he felt an intuition that the loneli-
ness Of both was at an end. The new
life Of sunshine, the sunshine of a
wonderful love, was glowing for them.
He yearned to tell her, to lift the shad-
ows from the patient face, but the
moment of realization was too blissful
for speech.
"Come," he said at last, springing
up to meet the new life and claim it
for them. Gently he took her hand
and lifted her to her feet. Then, look
ing into her beautiful eyes, he said
eagerly, Little woman, l want you to
let me make every day Of your life a
Thanksgiving like today"
A soft flush stole into her face, but
she did not leave the strong arms
which held her.

Johan Flottum, Of Singsaas, has had
his reputation as clairvoyant badly
shattered. A 7-year-old girl named
Gudrun disappeared in the southeast
ern part of the country, and Flottum
said that she had been smuggled into
a mountain cave in the northwestern
part of the country. A lot of cred
ulous men went to work and mined
away some rocks which almost closed
up the mouth of the cave. The fact
that the girl was not found in the
cave was a hard blow to Flottum.
But short while ago his discontinue
was complete when the dead body Of
the missing girl was found in chan
mel leading to an old slaughter-house
not far from her home. At this writ
ing the cause of the death of the girl
is not known.

with interest. No less than ~ women
have been appointed 40 members Of
committees. Some Of them were ap-
pointed ether because they are vom-
en- or on account Of vacancies, and In
q few cases they are evidently unfit
for the positions which they occupy.
This will place the women in an awk-
ward position and give their oppon-
ents chance to point to their unfit
ness for legislative work. All the
bills introduced by women refer to
the interest of women and children in
social, educational and other problems
of an ethical nature. One of the bills
provides for changing the age of con-
sent from Is to 18 years.
It is feared that Russia will soon
restrict the liberty which Finland has
enjoyed for about two years past, and
the conditions prevailing in the coun-
try during the years 1S99-1905 are re-
called with fear and anxiety. The
Russian empire has again begun to
feel strong enough to put heavy
hand on some of the non-Russian
races subjugated by and belonging to
that empire, and it stands to reason
that Finland may be subjected to a
similar treatment as its neighbors
when the Russian government thinks
the right moment has come. A well
informed st. Petersburg paper pub
lished in the German language has
given strong color to the apprehen-
sions of the Finlanders by stating
that the reactionary sentiment
against Finland is growing stronger
from day to day in Russia"

Two Girls Alone
In Time Of War.

Yazoo City, 1908
When the war clouds we're gather
ing for our strife Hugh Cowan, a wild
ever, with two young single daughters,
lived at the old homestead in Yazoo
county. Mississippi. four miles from
Satartla. which is on the Yazoo river.
Although exempt from the war by
reason Of his age and the loss Of one
finger on his right hand, he, in his 64th
year, was one of the first to respond to
his country's call. In February, 1862,
he was stricken with pneumonia, and
vas sent home. When he reached Sa-
tartla on a boat he was too III to be
carried out to his home, and died at
satartia a few days after his arrival
there.
The two brave young daughters, Ma
tIlda and Josephine Cowan. lived
alone during the entire period OF the
var. When the Yankees invaded that
locality they left a scene OF dreadful

A Yankee soldier was getting ready
to XIII the faithful yard dog of these
two lone young women when one OF
them appealed to a Yankee officer in
behalf Of the dog, and his chivalric
mature prevailed and he told the sol
der to let the dog live as 1t vas their
only protection. The officer then
turned to the two ladies' and told them
to fear no harm; that he would see
that they we're protected as long as he
was in that neighborhOod.

course Of his experience that his most
vulnerable part was the heart; that a
hard blow on the left breast would kill
or at any rate stun, the strongest man.
Hence at a very early period in hum

hand to fight with, while they en-

to cover the heart OF to parry the
blows aimed at that vulnerable region.

eastern corner of the yard, extending
across the public road into an open

backs to the house. On the opposite
hilltop, less than a quarter Of a mile
away, the Yankees were in line. The
young ladies were advised to leave the
house and seek refuge In a ravine In
the woods more than a quarter of a
mile away, where the other neighbOrs
had fed for safety during the day.
But they steadfastly refused to leave
the house, saying their presence might

their veins flowed some of the same

WOMAN SUICIDE
STORY IS READ
To JURY
OF MRS. YERkEs
FIGURES IN MCINTYRE WILL
CASE. NOW BEING BITTERLY
FOUGHT IN COURT.

After 10 days Of weary grind, the
hearing OF testimony offered by the
proponents In the celebrated Mcintyre
will case was completed Thursday
night, and the other side opened its
case Friday morning. The latter have
35 witnesses, and the case will last
probably three weeks longer.
The case. is being bitterly fought, the
exchanges between the opposing at
torneys furnishing amusement for a
large number of spectators. Nothing
was left undone by the proponents to
show that the late Archibald Mcln.
tyre, Of Sand Hill. left a will, and
that the draft produced in court con-
tains the essential features OF the
document. Even into the grave have
the attorneys gone for evidence, and
the testimony OF Mrs. Yerkes, the
aged housekeeper of the deceased no.
telkeeper, and who committed suicide
before the case went to trial two years
ago. was read to the jury. In that
statement Mrs. Yerkes tells of the
visit to the hotel in 1890 OF Squire
Smith. Of the drawing OF the will. of
its subsequent disposal in a strong
box, and OF its final disappearance.
She also told of the finding OF the
draft OF the will on the floor after
the meeting was over, how 1t became
mixed with her papers and not die
covered until the estate had been
probated and the property divided.
Almost a score OF witnesses told OF
conversations with Mr.. Mcintyre dur
ing his lifetime, in which he told them,
that his will was made and that his
brothers would not receive cent OF
his property.
The efforts of the proponents to gain
possession Of the Mcintyre fortune,
which amounts to about $4,000, was
pronounced by James 0. Murfin In his
opening address. as the most gigantic
conspiracy In the history OF the Wayne
circuit court. He will bend every ef'
fort to show that the draft OF the al
legged will, which the proponents claim
Is In the handwriting of Archibald Nc
Intyre, is a clever forgery. that he left
no will. and that Mcintyre was always
ON the best of terms with his brothers
and was willing that they should share
his property.
