INTO THE FOREST.

sion on which he had seen the
photograph of his mother he had
now so strangely found on the
floor of the old gypsy wagon. But he
sid remember 1t with a recollection so
strong that the girlish face had never
since left him.
She had been but seventeen years old
when It was taken. but the picture was
always his mother TO him, for II was
all IF her he knew.
Long he looked. then Grace's voice
came to him.
.'She Is very sweet
1T is my mother" replied Jim. sim

There is no necessity that any one
should know it, he answered.

''You viii forget anything ] said or

NO, / will not forget" he said Not
single movement, or a word. Those
are mine, and no one can take them
from me-
The intense emotion with which he
spoke frightened her as she looked at
him intently.
Then, the fear OF something she did
not understand took her into its power.
and from the man who personified thar
fear she moved away.
Suddenly Jim grasped Grace by the
arm and called softly to the woman
ahead with the baby.
They all stood immovable IN their
tracks as through the trees was thrust
the face Of the gypsy king.

QUESTION OF OIL
NEAR LANAR WILL
SOON BE SETTLED

Lamar. Feb. l6.-A meeting Of the
citizens was held In the Commercial

the minds Of the people that there
is oil under this section Of the coun-

at the meeting TO insure the sinking

mediately.
There is a strong suspicion that the
first well in which oil was discovered
was plugged by unfriendly interests.
and the new well will be closely
guarded. 1t will be dangerous for
suspicious characters to be found in
the vicinity. At the same meeting the
question OF improving. the road lead
ing south OF town was discussed and
a committee was appointed to further
the object. Other matters OF interest
