From down a narrow lane she caught

A thick grove OF oaks and chestnuts

was alone with the river and forest.

for her.
Hours passed. A few fIeecy, tum-

and less siIvery masses appeared over
the western horizon. The wind fresh

suddenly she knew that she was not

She turned and saw him standing

eager, toward her. Her lips parted.

She started swiftly along the bank

DESERVES REFLECTION,

Thomas Collins, county treasurer,
Is In the field, candidate for re-elec-
ton, and unless the present outlook
is changed, will have no opposition,
from either party, at the primaries.
This is as it should be. To use
the old saying" One good term de-
serves another" and Mr.. Collins has
undoubtedly made good. The recent
examination Of the books of the coun-
ty treasurer's office gives him a de-
cidedly clean bill of health, and in
addition compliments the county upon
the way in which his books and rec
ords are kept.
Mr.. Collins is not only an efficient otti'
cial but an agreeable gentleman, in
serving the public, and they will un'
doubtedly show their appreciation by
their solid support next month.
