BREACH OF PROMISE CASE
Dallas People Excited Over Coming
Trial in w. o. w. Hall.

A case of unusual interest is now
attracting considerable attention
among the society people of Dallas
as it is the first breach of promise
case brought before the courts of the
county and as the parties are promi-
nent society people there will natu
rally be much interest in the affair.
To those interested in the all alb
sorbing topic of woman's suffrage
this case will be of special note as
it will be the first instance where
women will appear in the jury box
on an equal footing with men.
Another interesting feature is that
Judge John E. Miller will preside for
the first time in the capacity of judge.
The case is attracting so much at
tention that it has been decided to
hold the court at Woodman hall on
the evenings of March IA and 16,
and as the crowd is expected to be
great, admission may be had by
ticket only. Tickets will be on sale
at Stafrin's Tuesday of next week.

and the service is said to be the most
satisfactory of any of the rural lines
in the county and has been maintain
ed at a minimum of expense. Ow-
ing to extensive repairs and the cost
of a complete overhauling during
the past few months the directors
were authorized to call an assessment

been carefully kept and show re-
condition of harmonious

years ago and who was chosen to fill
the chair for the ninth time without
a dissenting vote.
There are eighteen phone compan-
les in Polk county. all well managed
and working in harmony and giving
TO their patrons a service second to
none in the state, a statement which
speaks well for the progressive spirit
Df the people and which might well
be the envy Of some other communi-
lies who have failed to cooperate.

who is that"' asked Lem Pike lazi-
ly as a girls tall, slender form swept
past.
Dick Wakcham turned a fishy blue
eye on his companion. Mean to say
you don't know?" he asked incredu-
lousy.
of course 1 don't know" was LENS
irritated %rejoinder. Maybe if you'd
remember that I've been away from
Little Creek for the last twelve years
you wouldn't ask me to recognize ev-
the street."
Il didn't suppose you'd forget Mabel
Danvers." said Wakeham coolly.
ooh, you didn't. eh?" LENS voice
was snarling 10Y and the face he
turned to his companion was convulsed
with what might have appeared to an
onlooker as unreasonable anger at
Wakeham's apparently innocent ques.
ton. You didn't, eh?' he repeated
warningly, and then without another
word he slipped around the corner and
disappeared from Wakeham's view.
Once around the corner his eagle
glance scanned the street closely, hop
ing to recognize the sorrel horse and
its rider, but save for a few loungers
like himself the main street of the
prairie town was deserted.
She'll be going out home before
long" he muttered as he went back
and mounted his own horse. 'Tll ride
out Gopher Springs way, and likely she
will catch up with me. 1 didn't dare
ask after her. I was afraid she'd be
married and out Of reach by now. She
looked awful thin. I wonder if she
cared"
For the first time in twelve years
Lem Pike asked himself this u
ton. which had dinned at his ears in

patton. Now he could give these
thoughts free rein. 1t was October,
and the fresh breeze was blowing over
the plains as he galloped out of the
town and struck the narrow trail that
led to Gopher Springs. He pushed
the shabby hat back from his fore
head and drank in the cool air.
he waited for her not far from the
springs that gave their name to the
section where the Danvers ranch was
situated.
At last he saw her. a pale brown
speck on the dusty trail. She was
g%alloping, for the dust swirled about
her in clouds and hid him from her
sight until she came abruptly upon
him, standing there in the shade Of a
blasted white oak tree. Her face
went quite white at sight Of him. and
her eyes, which had been wide and
sorrowful. narrowed into a queer
searching glance that seemed to ferret
out all the madness and dissipation of
his absent years.
The worst Of it was that her look
changed to one Of blank unrecognition,
and she was about to pass him by
when he spoke and halted her prog
reSS.
"Mabel!" he cried sharply.
She surveyed him coolly from head
to foot, from the peak Of his shah
by broad brimmed hat to the rusty
toes of his high heeled boots. Her
piercing glance seemed to take in the
lines Of dissipation on his unshaven
face. 1t saw the frowsy handkerchief
knotted about his strong sunburned
throat: it glimpsed the carelessness
of his whole attire and weighed him
and found him lacking in all that
goes to make up responsibility.
"Well who are you:" she asked with
cool insolence.
II know you are trying to kid me,
Mabel" he retorted quietly. "Oh. Of
course you remember me"
"You will have to tell me. You Ger
tainly do not resemble any friend I
ever had" She spoke with labored
carelessness. but her breath came
swiftly. and her bosom painted. She
looked beautiful. but very thin and
careworn.
Perhaps you have forgotten Lem
Pike" he said bitterly.

that in his first campaign he did not
make a single speech, but confined
his efforts to meeting prominent citi-

out pamphlets and leaflets. He is a

Henry Greville. "a man who had

pleasure from the fish he had caught
at Chertsey it was only fair to the
descendants of those fish that he in re.
turn should become their food. He
