 The young man sitting beside her in the secluded corner back of the palms tried to elevate his eyebrows in superior way, but failed.
 That's what you say" he mur- mured, with the accent on the pro noun- You're only joking. You couldn't be serious if you tried"
 Now, that is unkind of you, Harry she said, in a grieved tone. I'm sure I don't see why you of all persons should talk that way. You don't mean to say you don't believe me when I say things? I never had my word doubted before!"
 That wasn't what I meant" said the young man, uncomfortably.

Tobacco War in Kentucky

Louisville, Ky, jan; 3-Although all
is apparently quiet to night in the war
between the tobacco growers Of Ken
lucky and Tennessee, against the AM
erican Tobacco Co., developments Of
the day have given great uneasiness.
The town of Russelville, which was
raided by night riders early this morn
ing, was quiet tonight, but everyone
was on the alert. 1T was decided by
the peace officers and leading citizens
today, in view of the improbability of
another raid, that the governor should
not be asked for troops. State Fire
Marshall Mott Ayres, however, is on
his way to Russelville and will begin
an immediate Investigation of last
nights raid which resulted in the
shooting Of three men by the, riders,
the burning of two tobacco ware hous-
ses and a planingmill, and the partial
destruction of three smaller buildings.
