The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-10-06

basic things, like infantileo collie, T would have it out with him along all lines, there is an awful shock coming to you when you realize that
 .sThat in the heat of this erudite and revolutionary discussion, which an evil fate let me drop in on, I have forgot ten to give you this telegram that came for, you while I was down. at the station shipping some lumber. Be as easy as you can with me, Evelina, and remember that I am your childhood,s companion when you decide between us.r With which he handed me blue telegram.
 I opened it hastily and found that it was from Rfchard:
 Am coming down to Bolivar with c. and 2. commission. Be deciding about what wrote vol. Must RICHARD.
 I sat perfectly still forSsevera1 sec onds, because felt that a good, strong hand had reached out of the distance and gently grabbed me. Dickie had bossed me strenuously through two years of tic time before I had awak- ened to the fact that for his good I must take the direction of the affairs of him and his kind On my and my kinds shoulders.
 I suppose a great many years of emancipation will have to pass over the heads of women before they lose the : gourd kind of feeling at the sight of a particIarly broad, strong pair of shoul- ders. My heart sparkled at the idea of seeing DielSie again and being brow beaten in a good old, methodical tender way. I suppose the sparkle in my heart shoWsd in my eyes, for Polk sat urrqdiekly and took1notice of it ve4y decidedly.
 Wire especially inpassfon6 ed 2''g he asked, with a smolder in his eyes. '.Not especially, 7, II answered serene 1y. One of nay friends father is a director in the Q. and G.. and he is coming down with him for the con ference over at Bolivar between the two roads next week
 Good y answered Polk heartily, as the Hare died out of his eyes.
 I was glad he didn't have to see the ! wire for I wanted to use Folks brain awhile if I couId get his emotions to sleep in my presence. It is very e1as- perating for woman to be offered filtration when she is in need Of com mon sense from a man. ' K sz
 Polk. do you see any logical, honest or dishonest way to get that road to take the Glendale bluff line ?'' I asked, with trepidat1on, for that was the first lime had ever even begun to discuss anything intelligently with Polk
 None in the world. Evelina, he an swered with nice, straight, 1nteIlec- tuaIity showing over his whole face l and even his lazy posing figure. q re- monstrated with James and Henry CaTguthers both whenS they used their influence to have the bonds voted and told James it was madness to invest in aI that field and swamp property | with just chance of the shops. The trouble was that James had always left all his business to Henry, along with the firms business, for n man. can't be the kind of lawyer James is and carry the details of the handling of filthy lucre in the same mind that can make speech like the one he made down in Nashville last April, on the exchange of the judiciary. James can be the governor of this good state any time he wants to, or could, if Henry hadn't turned toes and left him such a l bag toz hold-no reference to Sallie's l figure intended, which is all to the good 1 if you like that kind of curyesi''
