Open MutIny.


Though she had been schooled to hold
the very name Of Law In loathing un-
speakable and to think of Alan as q
mortal enemy and as one whose death
alone could properly requite the cruel
injury that had been done her father;
and though the man himself had
laughed to scorn her first involuntary
confession Of that love for him which
now consumed her being with its in
satiable fires. she swallowed her
chagrin and followed him with the
solicitude of one whose love can recog-
nize no wrong In Its object Through
all the remainder of that day Of terror
she was never far from his side.
With the meekness Of the strong,
she made herself his shadow. And
she was now the stronger, for she had
had more than an hours rest beside
the waterhole, which he had missed
on the way Of that rocky windbreak.
Sooner or later his strength must fail
him and he would need her: till then
she was content to bide her hour.

How the Humbuo First suzzed.

1t is not generally known that the
word "humbug." long so much in
vogue, is of Scottish origin. There was
in olden time family called Bogue,
or Boag, Of that Tx in Berwickshire. A
daughter OF the family married son
of Hume Of Hume. In process of time,
by default of male issue. the Bogue
estate devolved on one Gordie Hume.
who was called popularity Hume o.
the Bogue. or. rather Hum o. the
Bug"
He was inclined to the marvellous,
and had q vast inclination to exalt
himself. his wife. family, brother and
all his ancestors on both sides. His
tales, however, did not pass current
and at last, when anyone made an ex.
traordinary statement In the Nearns
the hearer would shrug up his shoul-
ders, and style 1t Just "A hum o. the
bug" This was shortened into hum

the whole kingdom.

With an indignant grunt, but con-

caught up the glasses and turned his
back.

to ignore the hand Alan offered him
from the saddle. 1--WE got no patience

of a sudden selling the hand and
pressing it fervently. And God go

Then hoofbeats drumming on the
hard-packed earth of the canyon trail

rugged, rocky walls.

guished smile that was intended to
seem reassuring.

been caused by his fall went on,

Its mufied impact on the ground

to pay county warrants, widows pen


According to the plan of the, So
called, Good Roads Boosters, it Is
their intention to have the governor
call an extra session of the Iowa leg
islature for the purpose of enacting a
law that will give the proper authori-
ties the power to issue bonds to the
extent of forty million dollars for the
purpose of building 1000 miles of
hard surfaced roads" in the state Of
Iowa.
If the burden of this 40 million dol
lar bond issue were placed equally
upon each county in the state, Wapel-
|, 10 countys share would be about
100000, which added to our present
debt, would bring the total debt up to
$500, 000,and this debt, at 5 per cent
would mean an expediture of $4,000
per annum for interest alone.
If we can't pay county warrants,
widows pensions ETC., under present
conditions, what would we do with
them under the increased debt?
According to the estimates of these
good road boosters this 100000
would build about fifty miles of hard
surfaced roads, in Wapello county.
We have about 500 miles of roads in
Wapello county, so this 100000 would
pave about five per cent of all the
roads in the county. Where would we
get the money to keep the remaining
ninety-five per cent of our roads In the
county in shape? I am afraid they
would be neglected for the want OF
funds.
AS far as am concerned, it will not
make much difference to me, for | am
not a very heavy tax payer, but
there are a great many people in the
county that are, and believe am ex-
