and, as June had heard him put it him
self, he gave her what was good fol
her.
The woman, She was coming up the
ladder! The fugitive hidden in the at

Nearer and nearer came the woman'l

"Babe?" Flub stirred uneasily.

No answer. The man was still sound

awhile to make sure of this and started
for the ladder again. Halfway across
the room she hesitated, turned. walked
swiftly to the end of the hut and hid
the little chamois bag beneath a loose
stone behind the stove.
She was putting away the last of the
dishes when suddenly she stopped

her lips. Her eyes burned with a som
and deftly secured a long, slender
cigarette holder. She crossed swiftly
to her husband and inserted the holder
in his top vest pocket, so that Its
shining tip protruded. The water casl

He grinned at her sheepishly as he
saw the sparkle OF mischief in her eye
and he wiped his face with his sleeve

Runaway June

The men were at the table an in
credibly short time. They gulped their
food, and then, tired and sleepy, they
lay down on straw pallets for a few
minutes of honest rest, while the cold
and starved little runaway bride in the
attic looked down with ravenous eyes
on what they had left. The odor of the
hot coffee made her feel faint. Only
terror kept her on the alert.
The important thing to June in her
predicament was to devise some mode
Of escape, but the opportunity to do

The Good Road Extension.

AS readers of the Banner know, one
of the hard-surface roads of the newly
created road district of our parish leads
eastsfrom Bossier City to Red Chute,
which is the boundary line between
Wards Two and Six. AS announced in
last weeks issue of the Banner, repre-
sentative and publc-spirited residents
| Of Ward Six are now interesting them
selves in an effort to have this road ex-
| tended across that ward to the Webster
Parish line, and the Police Jury of that
parish has pledged to construct an east
and west road out Of Minden to join it.
At the meeting held in Haughton on
the 10Th of the past month DR.. j. E.
Rocks of that place was elected to act as
Secretary, and particularly to urge the
residents of Ward Six, through the
columns of the Banner, to attend the
next meeting in the furtherance of this
cause, to be held at Haughton Saturday
afternoon.
A short communication from DR..
Rocks reached this Office yesterday. In
addition to the request above referred
to he adds this explanatory paragraph:
"This meeting is to be held for the pur-
pose of hearing the reports of the CON-
mittees appointed at the meeting of
February Goth, and also to definitely
settle the exact course the route will
pursue, and to dispose of other matters
pertaining to the establishment of the
road that may come up"
We are pleased that we are in posi-
ton to extend the promoters of this good
cause this assistance. The construction
of the proposed hard-surface road across
the ward would prove of inestimable
benefits to its residents, and we freely
and gladly champion the movement
which we trust will lead to that end.

To Teachers and Those Who Are Con-
templatin9 Teaching.
Public schools will soon close. Teach
ers have had an average of about six
months on the pay roll at perhaps an
average salary of $50 per month, netting
them $3.50 for the year, or an equivalent
of $50 per month for the year. In other
words, the educated teachers salary is
less than that of the uneducated day
laborer. Six thousand teachers quit the
profession in Texas annually. Can you
blame them, when you compare their
annual earning capacity with that Of
any other class of educated men and
women. The bookkeeper, stenographer,
private secretary or operator gets, as a
beginner, from $50 to SIS per month
twelve months in the year, and soon re-
ceive an advance in salary and it isn't
long, if they are made of the right kind
of stuff, before they are promoted to as
sistant managers of large business con-
Germs where they draw salaries that
soon enables them to lay up a comfort

work in the charity department of your
