JURY FAILED TO AGREE.

The damage suit of +. NJ. and C..
+. Covington against II. G. Pigg, all
OF Bonne Terre, attracted consider
able attention In court the latter
part of last week. 1t was n suit for
damages for breach of contract
growing out of the sale of IA livery
stable equipment. The trial took up
the better part of Thursday and
Friday The facts AS brought out
in the trial are about as follows:
On or about October 20, 1911, Il.
G.. Pigg sold to the Covington bro
theirs large portion of his livery
stable equipment in Bonne Torre,
aud leased to them what is known
as the Murrill Barn and portion of
what is known as the Pigg Barn,
agreeing hot to conduct IA livery
stable in BOnne Terre except as
partner of the COvingtuu brothers,
nor permit any one to use that pUr-
tion Of the Pigg barn reserved to
the Coyington brothers.
On May 20, 1872, it is alleged by
the Covingtons, Pigg preached this
contract by selling to Johnson Tul.
lock the remainder of his livery
equipment, and they further alleged
that Tullock was merely Pigs
agent.
Pigg contended that the Coving-
tons preached the contract by re-
fusing to retain him as IA partner
and using his rigs when they could
not supply the trade.
There were about forty witnesses
examined, and the contest was quite
spirited on both sides. At the end
tn" jury failed to agree. The case
goes over to the May term unless
settled out of court sooner, as the
question of costs now seems to
stand chance of exceeding the
original amount involved.

I'M VERY GLAD TO SEE YOU, MY DEAR"
man At the death of her father An
gela found herself singularly alone in
the world.
Then came the terrible moment
when Angela learned that her fathers
fortune had been mere gilded shell
which hid an immense burden of debt,
and when matters were cleared up
Angela pocketed the $1,000 that repre-
scented her patrimony, and set forth to
make place for herself in the world.
Because of her youth and inexpe-
lience and ignorance she had happily
left her destination to mere chance,
and that is why she was speeding
westward toward little cattle town
in the northwest with a vague idea of
opening a school or a millinery parlor
or a candy shop, whatever seemed to
be the crying need of that particular
town
When Angela and her three trunks
were left on the station platform,
while the little train snailed away
through a rift in the hills. she felt
sudden panic at the loneliness. There
were the hills, the railroad tracks, the
neat little station and dusty white
trail winding away into the blue haze
of distance.

flung it aside and drew out small

came quite mysterious.

the leaves of the booklet with pink

she looked eagerly at the schedule on

Again she closed her eyes, while her
finger wandered uncertainty over the

opened her eyes to scan her fate.
Angela she gasped. 1.-THE very

the future.
