her eyes full Of somberness and fore.
boding.
Whats the matter, Sally? ques.
toned he, anxiously. Hes that low
down Tamarack Spicer been round
here tellin' ye some more stories ter
poster yer"
She shook her head in silence.
Usually, she bore the brunt of their
conversations, Samson merely agree
ing with, or overruling, her in lordly
brevities. The boy climbed up and sat
beside her.
"Thar's a-goin' ter be a dancin'
party over ter Vile McCager's mill
come Saturday." he insinuatingly sug-
gested. II reckon yen go over thar
with me, won't ye. Sally?"
He waited for her usual delighted
assent, but Sally only told him absent
ly and without enthusiasm that she
would study about it, At last, how.
ever. her restraint broke, and. looking
up, she abruptly demanded:
Air ye a-goin' away, Samson?"
Who's been a-talkin' ter ye?" de-
manded the boy. angrily
For a moment, the girl sat silent.
Finally. she spoke in grave voice:
"Hit hain't nothin' ter git mad about,
Samson. The artist man lowed as how
ye had right ter go down thar, an
git an eddication." She made weary
gesture toward the great beyond.
HE hadn't ought to of told ye.
Sally. If I'd been plumb sartin in my
mind, I'd a-told ye myeelf-not but
what 1 knows" he hastily amended,
tibet he meant hit friendly"
Air ye a-goin'?"
I'm studyin' about hit"
He awaited objection. but none
came. Then. with a piquing Of his
masculine vanity, he demanded:
"Hain't ye a-keerin', Sally, whether
l goes. or not?"
The girl grew rigid. Her fingers on
the crumbling plank OF the stiles top
frightened and gripped hard. Her face
did not betray her, nor her voice,
though she had to gulp down a rising
lump in her throat before she could
answer calmly.
81 think ye had ought to go, Sam
SON."
The boy was astonished. He had
avoided the subject for fear OF her op-
position-and tears.
Then. slowly. she went on:
There hain't nothin' in these here

Hills fer ye. Samson. Down thar. YEN
zee lots Of things thet's new-an' civil
lzed an beautiful! Yell see lots OF
gals thet kin read an write, gals
dressed up In all kinds Of fancy fix-
ms" Her glib words ran out and
ended in sort Of inward gasp.
Compliment came hardly and awk-
wardly to Samson's lips. He reached
for the girls hand, and whispered:
Il reckon ! won't see no gals thets
az purity as you be, Sally. reckon ye
knows, whether goes or stays. we're
a-goin' ter git married"
She drew her hand away. and
laughed, little bitterly. In the last
day, she had ceased to be a child. and
become a woman with all the soul-ach-
ing possibilities Of a woman's intui-
tions.
Samson" she said, II haint askin'
ye ter make me no promises. When
ye sees them other gals-gals thet kin
read an write--I reckon mebby ye'll
think diff'rent. / can't hardly spell
out printin' in the fust reader
Her lovers voice was scornful OF the
imagined dangers. as recruit may be
of the battle terrors-before he has
been under fire. He slipped his arm
about her and drew her over to him.
Honey" he said. "ye needn't fret
about thet. Readin' an writin' can't
make no difference fer a woman.
Hits mighty important fer man, but
you're gal"
You're a-goin' ter think diff'rent at
ter awhile" she insisted. when ye
goes, ! hain't a-goin' ter be expectin'
ye ter come back But"-the
resolution in her voice for a moment
quavered as she added-"but God
knows I'm a-goin' ter be hopin'!"
"Sally!" The boy rose, and paced
up and down In the road. "Air ye
goin' ter be ag'inst me, too? Don't ye
see that ! wants ter have chanst?
Can't ye trust me? I'm jest a-tryin'
to amount to something. I'm plumb
tired OF bein' ornery an no count"

Suspicion at once cast cloud across
the violet serenity Of her eyes.
What does ye mean?" she de-
manded.
Il mean"-the painter paused a mo-
ment, and then said bluntly-"I mean
that want to take him back with me
to New York"
The girl sprang to her feet with her
chin defiantly high and her brown
hands clenched into tight little fists.

Spicer had not arrived.
Lescott himself realized the situa,

the house watching the scene inside.
There was. OF course. no round dane

champions contending for the honor
of their sections.

passed youth with tow-whits hair
and very pink cheeks. The boy was
the earliest to succumb to the tempta,
ton OF the moonshine Jug. a tempta-
ton which would later claim others.
He was reeling crazily. and his albino
eyes were now red and infiamed.
"Thet's ther damned furriner thets
done turned Samson inter n gal." pro-
claimed the youth. in thick voice.
The painter paused. and looked
back. The boy was reaching under his
coat with hands that had become
clumsy and unresponsive.
Let me git at him." he shouted
with Wild whoop and dash toward
the painter.
Lescott said nothing. but Sally had
heard. and stepped swiftly between.

Cut Brother.in-Iaw


One day the latter part Of last
week Frank Fletcher had an ar
gument with his sister-in-law
from whom he rents near Hibler
point east Of Brunswick. The
disagreement was over the corn
rent and her brother offered
some suggestion to which Fetch
er objected and advised the
brother to keep out of the mat
ter. The wordy ENHANCEMENT
resulted in Fletcher pulling his
brother-in.law from the wagon
in which he was sitting with
disastrous effect. Fletcher re-
Ceived q bad stab with a pocket
knife in the upper part Of bis
left arm and iled into his yard in
front Of which the fracas took
place. Noarrests.

A Cutting scrape

Frand Conrad and jeff Croft
had misunderstanding on our
streets Monday over some lum-
Der Conrad had bought of Croft.
Conrad claims to have loaned
Croft some money and also a log
chain. The cash loand and the
damage to the log chain was
claimed by Conrad to be equal
to the amount of the bill of lum-
ber. In the argument sufficient
was said by Croft to cause Con-
rad to go after him with his fist
Croft resisted with a large pock-
ct knife, cutting Conrads left
hand badly. Croft let the knife
fall and took to his heels after a
straight poke on the head with
Conrads right. No arrests.

Some Women's Ways

Several aviators of prominence
have been divorced and others
are threatened with it by their
wives. Evidently these women
go up in the air in a different
way from that of their husbands.
About as soon as he can fly,
an aviator must take some other
women than his wife up with
him. He is too considerate of his
wife to risk her life. He and the
other woman are in plain sight
of every one until they land in
the woods, yet his wife mus:
see grounds for separation in it.
She should learn to ayiate and
get up a counter irritant.

CONCENTRATED FORCES.
ALI European Belligerents En-
gagged in Balkans.
Servia Doomed.

Not only the seat of the great
war, but the determining con-
quest has moved itself to the
Balkan country. At this time
Servia is in a most critical state
and the fighting in Russia and
France has assumed minor inter-
est.
That the Germans had to open
the way to and for Constantine
pie, it now is evident, whether
from choice or necessity. The
route of the Crusaders has been
taken by the invading army,
and the little country response
BILE as the chip for the war, is in
the same condition as Belgium or
will be, let the outcome for
others be what it may. The i'm
preston of some war experts
that the move towards Constan-
tinople was made alone as an ex-
hibitiOn of unlimited resources
and power by Austria Germany
is as far from correct as any of
these same gentlemen have been
in every other instance and
points again to superiority of
German strategy. But whether
the thrust thru the Balkans is
for the relief in men, munitions
and confidence of the Turk, or to
open new way for supplies for
Austria and Germany, matters
not; the one supreme result is
immediate victory for Germany.
The assertion need be based on
no further evidence than the
condition in England, poised on
the realization of the fact stated,
fully and openly expressed by
the most influential and most re-
liable in English public life.
Servia is the fighting ground,
and surrounded as she is by foes
and none of her allies able to
reach her with necessary assist
ance in time. her fall is inevitable
and that means the beginning of
the end of the war.
