ssY HONESTLY, Mary" protested
Tom Strickland, sit isn't safe
/ for you to drive home alone.
It's all very well to make be-
Heve that you're not afraid of a horse,
but know better. Won't you let me
see you homer"
The two had met in the lazy quiet Of
Nineveh's town square, and Tom was
quick to see his opportunity. Mary
Todhunter laughed at his apprehensive
manner.
'How can you keep a straight face
when you say that, Tom?'' she asked.
"You know as well as I do that I've
driven old Solomon a million times,
more or less, and that nothing on earth
would make him run away"
you can never tell about these old
reliables," said Tom. Solomon might
take it into his head to get frisky any
minute. can see devilment in his eye
right now
He placed an entreating hand on the
buggy's side.
''We1l, get in, then,'' conceded Mary,
tossing her pretty head. 81 reckon I
won't have any peace until 1 let you
have your own way
Tom swung himself into the buggy
Instantly. That's a mighty wise con-
clusion, Mary" he remarked, taking
the reins and heading old Solomon to-
ward the shady road that led to Mary's
home. ri wish to goodness you'd make
up your mind to it as a permanent
thing"
Mary flashed mockery at him. 81
reckon you do,'' she exclaimed. cts
just like you. But there's no danger of
it's coming to pass, Mr.. Tom Strick-
land"
They were now well out of the drow-
sy town. Old Solomon trotted content
eddy along under the Ieafy foliage that
arched his always welcome homeward
way.
That's one reason I'd like to see
your father elected governor contin-
ued Mary. Those Jefferson City girls
will soon teach you your proper place,
Tom Strickland, even though you are
the governors SON.
I'm not the governors son yet,
Mary" responded Tom, an intentional
meekness in his tone. ''And even if
the time ever comes that am, Jeffer-
son City will see mighty little of me-
what do you mean?'' asked Mary.
you'll certainly have to go to the
state capital when Colonel and Mrs.
Strickland go, won't you"
Toms face took on an injured ex-
preston. 81 declare, Mary he spoke,
''you never seem to realize that I'm no
longer a boy. Please remember that
I'm a grown man now and that I've
studied law and been admitted to prac-
f1ce at the Missouri barr
Laughter cleaned in Mary's eyes.
''Well, Mr.. Thomas Strickland, great
lawyer that you are she Knocked,
what them"
''Why, just this, that intend to stay
right here in Nineveh," announced Tom
loftily. It's all settled too. I'm going
to be taken into partnership with my
father and old Judge Boiling, and then
I can hold my fathers practice if he's
elected. Anyway, I'm to be partner.
Strickland, Boiling & Strickland that's
how the new sign will read!'
Mary laughed outright. Goodness
met she cried. won't we be a big
man then? oh, Tom, it'll be such fun

Ahem-Gentlemen of the jury

cried Tom, reddening boyishly. Its

WATER VERY LOW
 IN oXoBoxo VALLEY.
Possibility That Paper Mills Will Have
 to Shut Down.

The extreme drought of the past two months, unbrOken save for a few light showers. has caused nearly all the springs and wells to run dry along the northern slope of the Oxoboxo val- ley, and several families in that vii cinitY are obliged to carry water for drinking and cooking purposes. and in some instances those who keep cattle and horses carry water long distances.
 The supply of water in the Oxoboxo reservoir is at an extremely low point and unless the source of supply is added by the usual autumn rains water power for manufacturing purposes will be cut of. causing industries along the stream to close down, especially the amount of water.
