calmer. the solution of the problem
would have been simple. Marjorie
could get off at this suburban. station
and drive home from there. But their
wits were like pied type, and they
were further jumbled, when Shaw
broke in with sudden: Come, see
the little dove-cote We fixed for YOU"
Before they knew 1t, they were both
hailed along the aisle to the white
satin atrocity. Love in bungalow"
said Hudson. sit down-make your
selves perfectly at home"
"No-never-oh, oh, OH" cried Mar
jorie, darting away and throwing
herself into the first empty seat-Ira
Lathrop's berth. Mallory followed to
console her with caresses and muir
murs of, There's there, don't cry,
dearie!"
Hudson and Shaw followed close
with mawkish mockery: Don't cry,
dearie."
And now Mrs. Temple intervened.
She had enjoyed the initiation cere-
mony as we'll as anyone. But when
the little bride began to cry, she re-
membered the pitiful terror and shy
shame she had undergone as a girl
wife, and she FASTENED to Marjorie's
side, brushing the men away like
gnats.
You poor thing" she comforted.
Come, my child, lean on me. and
have a good cry"
Hudson grinned, and put out his
own arms: She can lean on me, if
she'd rather"
Mrs. Temple glanced up with indig-
nant rebuke: Her mother is far
away, and she wants mothers breast
to weep on. Here's mine. my dear"
The impudent Shaw tapped his own
military chest: she can use mine"
Infuriated at this bride-baiting, NAL
lory rose and confronted the two
imps with clenched fists: You're a
pretty pair of friends, you are!"
The imperturable Shaw put out a
pair of tickets as his only defense:
Here are your tickets, old boy"
And Hudson roared jovially: I'VE
tried to get you a stateroom, but 1t
was gone"
And here are your baggage checks"
laughed Shaw, forcing into his fists
few pasteboards. I'VE got your trunks
on the train ahead, all right. Don't
mention it-you're entirely welcome"
1t was the porter that brought the
first relief from the ordeal.
IF you gemmen is gettin' OFF at
Kedzie avenue, you'd better step
smart. We're slowin' up now"
Marjorie was sobbing too audibly
to hear, and Mallory swearing too in
audibly to heed the opportunity ked-
zie evenuc offered. And Hudson was
yelling: We'll, gooo-bye, old boy and
old girl. Sorry we can't go all the
way" He had the effrontery to try
to kiss the bride goodbye. and Shaw
was equally bold, but Mallcry's fury
enabled him to beat them off. He
elbowed and shouldered them down
the aisle, and sent after them one OF
his own shoes. But it just missed
Shaw's flying coattails.
Mallory stood glaring after the de
parting traitors. He was glad that
they at least were gone, till he real
lied with a sickening slump in bis
vitals, that they had not taken with
them his awful dilemma. And now
the train was once more clickety-
clicking into the night and the west

The Season of Forest Fires

This is the season when all the forest service officials are hard at work getting ready for the opening of the fire season.
 Every year the forests get dry after the winter snows and spring rains, and before the autumn rains dampen the ground and the falling debris of the forest, the national reserves are especially subject to fire menace. To offset this season of conflagrations called the fire season" the service employs a number of extra men, called fire patrols. These men patrol the different districts of the forest, being careful to keep in touch with each all the time, looking for fires and fighting them when found.
 The regular rangers are given work as superintendents of the regular fire patrols, and makes routes through the forests seeing that the patrols keep in touch

GRAND JURY BILL READY

Attorney General Bullard has
 the grand jury bill ready for sub-

 will go in among the first offer ing after a complete organiza- tion has been effected. This is the bill that is expected to re- lease the letters which bind the superior court judges in their criminal work there being now no way to calling a grand jury, and the old method requiring the cooperation of the probate judge. There is no longer probate judge. so enabling legislation be- comes necessary.

and supervising matters gen. orally
 Each patrol and each ranger is provided with tools suira ble for carrying on horse back, and a map showing the country he is to oover, location of mail boxes where they can keep in touch with each other, the location of tool caches in the forest and other necessary data.
 Telephone lines are used wherever possible, but where they are not available, the patrols and rangers use the mail box system of communi- cation.
 The service have been carry ing on a campaign of road and trail building and telephone ali over it's forests. as it has been determined that rapid communication is the key note of forest fire fighting. This campaign has existed for several years and has been. very successful.

ANCIENT ROME.

When Caesar took a western ride And grabbed the Gauls for Rome, That was the filst thing that he did To make them feel at home? Did he increase the peoples loads And liberty forbid? No, he dug in and built Good Roads That's what old Caesar did. Did Caesar put the iron heel Upon the foeman's breast, Or did he try to make them feel That Roman rule was best? What did he do to make them glad He'd come their midst amid? He built GOOD. ROADS in place of bad That's what old Caesar did. He built Good Roads from hill to hill, Good Roads from vale to vale; He ran a Good Roads movement Till old Rome got all the kale. He told the folks to buy at home, Built roads their hills amid, Until all roads led to Rome That's what old Caesar did. If any town would make the town The center of the map, Where folks will come and settle down And live in plenty's lap. It must it's own adobes Of poverty get rid, Let it get out and build Good Roads Just like old Caesar did.

Legislative NOTES.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 12.-On
Saturday the Senate again took
up the Tavenner bill prohibiting
tollgate system on the turnpikes
of the state.
Tavenner, urging the passage
of the bill, attacked the toll
gate system viciously. The
entire system is a public MUS
ance," he declared, I'm some
instances it happens to be per
missable nuisance, but the face
of the people is turned against
the entire system.
The Shenandoah senator ther
predicted that unless his bill wa:
passed it would only be a ques
ton Of time before every town IL
the state would be hemmed in BY
the gates.
In my county we now hav'
thirteen toll-gates on twenty
| eight miles of turnpike" said he
and unless this bill carries, viii
| will have fifteen gates next yea
and the rest of the state will ge
the same dose later"
Senator Walker opposed thu
bill because he said its passag,
would be reflection on the stat'
corporation commission, which
recently refused to interfere will
the toll-gate companies in cas-
involving the same issue, brough
before them by Tavenner.
Senator Blackbourne Smith
took issue with Walker on thi:
point.
Immediately following the eA'
ecutive session, a vote was taker
on the bill, which resulted in its
passage almost unanimously
The measure will probably meet
with opposition in the house
however. Speaker Byrd is at
torney for the toll-gate company
the Tavenner bill is aimed .es
! pecially against, and Byrd's son
is president of the company.

Prisoners Lie In Jail
Waiting For Cushman

matter. Pagoius was arrested
last December charged with rails
