He passed his arm around her and
pulled her down on his knees.
Say, little woman, you sure miss a
lot by living here on the ranch
music, and theaters. and suth things.
Don't you ever have a hankering to
drop 1t all and 90 back?"
So great vas his anxiety that he
dared not look at her, and when she
laughed and shook her head he was
aware of a great relief. Also. he noted
the undiminshed youth that rang
through that same old-time boyish
laugh OF hers.
Say" he said, with sudden fierce
ness, don't you go fooling around that
slide until after l get the trees in and
rooted. It's mighty dangerous. and l
sure can't afford to lose you now"
He drew her lips to his and kissed
her hungrily and pa%ssionately.
What q loverl" she said; and pride
in him and in her own womanhood
was in her voice.
Look at that, Dede." He removed
one encircling arm and swept 1t in g.
wide gesture over the valley and the
mountains beyond. 1.-The Valley Of the
Moon-a good name, a good name.

that we found the spring."
and that was the night you didn't
milk the COWS till ten o'clock" she
laughed. "And If you keep me here
much longer, supper won't be any
earlier than 1t was that night"
Both rose from the bench, and Day
light caught up the milk-pail from the
nail by the door. He paused a mo
ment longer to look out over the val
ley.
tits sure grand" he said:
ITS sure grand" she echoed, laugh
ing joyously at him and with him and
herself and all the world, as she
passed in through the door.
And Daylight, like the old man ne
once had met, himself went down the
hill through the fires Of sunset with a
milkpail on his arm.

sound of her footsteps gave him a
vast content
He breathed the balmy mountain air
In great gulps, like a diver fresh-risen
from the sea. And, as he drank IN
the air, he gazed with all his eyes at
the clouds and sky and valley. as II
he were drinking In that. too, along
with the air.
Dede did not know he had come
back, and at times he turned his head
and stole glances In at her-at her
efficient hands, at the bronze OF her
brown hair that smouldered with ire
when she crossed the path OF sunshine
that streamed through the window, at
the promise Of her figure that shot
through him a pang most strangely
sweet and sweetly dear. He heard
her approaching the door, and kept
his head turned resolutely toward the
valley. And next, he thrilled. as he
had always thrilled, when he felt the
caressing gentleness Of her fingers
through his hair.

"Why is 1t as bad as that?'
He shook his head.
Nothing exciting. But I'd sure like
to see any blamed old slide get the

seal that slide down so that it'll stay
there for a million years. And when

VIII Pull All Slot Machines.

1.-THE dealers who again put their
slot machines into operation will have
them pulled by the police depart
ment," said Mayor Protein Pinckney
in reply to an inquiry as to rumors
that the ban against gambling devices
in Charleston had been or was about
to be withdrawn by the city authori-
ties after being in operation about a
month. There has been an idea among
the people that the enforcement OF
the slot machine order of Mayor Grace
would be for only a short time IN
spite of the statement of the mayor at
the time that the barring of the ma
chimes was one Of the set policies OF
his administration.

Rest In Solitude,

The FIRST requisite in resting Is tc
be alone. Every human being Is more
or less of an irritation. One must get
away to his room or to the woods. AS
near as possible one must secure soil

of what shallow people call loneliness
that there Is found the fountain Of re-
freshment and a new birth Of Joy In

SHOULD PROTECT THE COTTON
McLaurin Holds That Insuring Fair
Price For Staple Is Part Of the
Duty of the State.

Columbia.-John l.. McLaurin of
counsel in the test case brought to
determine the validity of the South
Carolina cotton warehouse act of 1912,
presented an argument based on the
farmers need for protection against
those interests which are DESTROYS Of
making the South's great staple a
football of the exchanges.
MI. McLaurin's argument, in part,
follows:
Stripped of all legal verbiage and
technicalities, it is safe to say that the
constitutionality Of this act depends
upon whether the government can en-.
gage in the business of operating a
cotton warehouse in the exercise Of
her police powers. The state has here
tofore engaged In the whiskey busi-
ness, buying at wholesale and selling
at retail, with hundreds Of officers
and agents, acting in every conceiv.
able capacity. Therefore, the provi.
sion Of this act should not seem
strange in South Carolina. The va
rious special acts passed by the leg.
islature regulating the sale Of \seed
cotton, weighing. handling, etc.,
would seem to indicate that cotton Is
regarded as coming peculiarly within
the police powers Of the state. a..
The internal revenue laws Of the
United States provide for warehousins
spirits, and the act of August 20, 1894,
provides bonded warehouses for spir-
its located at central points, For sale,
ex~portation," etc. Certainly furnish
ing for the benefit Of distillers facili-
ties for export trade in whiskey,
which have nothing to do with the
| collection of a tax, or the regulation
Of an article injurious to the public
health. It is a plain measure to assist
the distiller to find. foreign markets
for the sale of his goods. /.
If the federal government can pro
vide warehouse facilities to aid a bus.
mess, the taxes from which constitute
only a small portion of the. govern:
mental income, why can the state
government not provide the same IA
| cilities for the cotton exporter, where
| almost the whole fiscal system Of the
| state is based on cotton production?
