were roof and a chimney from which
a thread Of smoke rose in an attenu-
ated shaft. That was SpiCer SOuth's
house and SamsOn's home. The girl
leaned against the gnarled bowl Of the
white oak and waved toward the roof
and chimney. She cupped her hands
and raised them to her tips like one
who means to shout across a great dis
lance, then she whispered SO low that
only she herself could hear:
Hello, Samson South"
She stood for q space looking down,
and forgot to laugh, while her eyes
grew religiOusly and softly deep, then,
turning she ran down the slope. She
had performed her morning devOti0ls.
That day at the house Of Spicer
South was an of day. The kinBmen
who had stopped for the night stayed
on through the morning. Nothing was
said of the possibility Of trouble. The
men talked crops and tossed horse
shoes in the - d; but no one went to
work in the fields, and all remained
within easy call, Only young Tama-
rack SpiCer, T2w-bOned nephew, wore
a sullen face and made a great show
of cleaning his rifle and pistol.
Shortly after dinner he disappeared,
and when the afternoon was we'll ad-
vanced Samson, too. with his rife on
his arm, a;r0lled toward the stile.
He sauntered down the road, but,
whc0 he had passed out Of vision, he
turned sharply into the woods, and
began climbing. His steps carried him
to the rift in the ridge where the white
oak stood sentinel over the watch
tower Of rock AS he came over the
edge from one side his bare feet max
ing no sound, he saw Sally sitting
there with her bands resting on the
moss and her eyes deeply troubled
She was gazing fXedly ahead and her
lips were trembling. At once Sam
sons face grew black. Some one had
been making Sally unhappy. Then he
saw beyo'd her a standing figure,
which the tree trunk had hitherto con-
ealod. 1t was the loose.knitted figure

Samson leaped violently forward
With one hand he roughly seized his
cousins shoulder and wheeled him
about.
"Shet up" he commanded. what
d--n fool stuff hev ye been tellin'
Sally?"
For an instant the two clansmen
stood fronting each other. Samsons
face was set and wrathful, Tamarack's
was surly and snarling. "Haint l got
a license ter tell Sally the news" he
demanded
Nobody haint got no license" re-
torted the younger man in the quiet
Of cold anger, ter tell Sally nothin'

"She air bound ter know hit all

A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with us are kept in such
condition as to furnish efficient service Where the
owners OF rural lines are responsible for their upkeep.
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require thorough overeauling occa-
sionally if the best service is to be obtained We
recommend that every line connected with us be
oVerhaued at least once year and that at least one
experienced telephone man assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
OF the line, makes the amount paid by each man
SMALL and this cost will be more than offset by the
improved service.
If the owners Of rural telephone lines in this sec
ton are experiencing trouble with their service, we
will appreciate their talking the matter over with our
Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-

Lowest prices of the day in the wheat
pit came Immediately after false reports
that the Dardanelles had been forced. II
was not until after tho close Of the ses-
sion that any definite news came indi-
eating q genuine basis for claims of
Roadway being made In naval attacks
on the Turks. Before that time atten-
ton of traders had largely reverted to
the effects OF heavy rains throughout
the west and southwest conditions which
at the beginning OF the session had
brought about a sharp bulge in the mar
ket.
FOREIGN selling here and at the sea-
board made a decided impression toward
weakening wheat prices throughout most
OF the day, except at the start and the
finish when the fears of harvest delays
seemed TO be uppermost in affecting
quotations. Torrential rains were re-
ported In parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and
Nebraska. One place IN the last named
state, tho town of Curtis, was said to
have been deluged with eleven inches of
