was raised to shout: Hello, Samson!"
The young man looked up and waved
languid greeting He did not remove
his hat or descend from his place of
rest, and Sally. who expected no such
attention. came smilingly on. Samson
was her hero. Slow of utterance and
diffident with the stranger, words now

story of the man who lay hurt at the
foot of the rock.

she urged. Hurry, Samson, an git

Samson took off his hat, and tossed
the heavy lock upward from his fore
head. His brow wrinkled with doubts.

While Sally sketched a description,
the young mans doubt grew graver.

trickled blood.

The Board of County Commission
ers Wednesday began their probe of
the taking OF supplies from the coun-
ty stores for the private use of coun-
ty employees by calling upon Captain
7. ] Donaldson to furnish report at
a special meeting February Ia, In
which he shall designate all of the
provisions and supplies which he had
taken for his own use during 1913,
together with their approximate
value.
Commissioner s. b thurman intro
duced a resolution when the subject
came up requesting that the report
cover the last four years. Commits
sioner Clifford L. Anderson objected
to compelling Captain Donaldson go
ing so far back and after some debate
1t was agreed that the last year would
be sufficient,
Commissioner Shelby Smith intro
duced a resolution calling upon Cap
tain Donaldson to file another repors
showing who had used the county's
convicts for their personal purpose
during the last year. This resolution
also was adopted
Commissioner thurman said that the
