would not let her lover be snubbed so
lrrantly. She knew that argument
with this imperative relative was
worse than useless, SO she merely nod
ded her head in obedience and sat
about to circumvent her, fluttering
about again while her aunt returned
to her own list. Gloria annexed an
Invitation, an envelope, and pen, and
the deed was done. An invitation to
Mr.. Richard Freneau reposed in the
basket with those all ready for the
mail, and with elaborate innocence
Gloria danced over to her ignorant
relation.
When that invitation was received
1t the Office of Freneau & Mulry it
seemed like a message from heaven
to the almost broken brokers. The
business was in fearful shape and
they were about ready to close up
shop unless some miracle should oc-
cur to tide them over.

She did. indeed, give little extra
honor to one old friend. AS DR.. Royce
mounted the stairs Gloria ran forward

She presented him to her aunt, and
his heart glowed warmly with Gloria's

Mulry blew long whistle and said:

Mulry laughed. "Ah. 90 on" When
Freneau told him his version OF the

Gloria had been lost in the everglades
Of Florida and taken prisoner BY
tribe Of Seminoles. and how Freneau
had tracked her through the wilder
ness and saved her from the young
chief who was determined to make
the girl his squaw, Freneaus language
had all the vividness that only fiction
achieves. But Mulry still laughed:
"You never saved kitten from q
poodle" He knew Freneau.
Freneau was furious, but Mulry
looked him up and down with a con-
temptuous admiration. Then, sober

His mind shifted back and forth
like a shuttlecock, weighing AL the
chances. There was his enlargement
with Lois. What a double-dyed fool
he had been to flirt with Gloria's SIS
ter-in-law! How very careless Of him!
She might spoil everything. She would
be bound to see and know something
Of his courtship.
He felt sure no could win Gloria
over again as he had won her heart
five years before. provided he could
still pose in the light Of courageous
and faithful sutton. But Lois must be

best chance lay in speed. he thought.

charming smile was turned u lulry.

q glimpse Of him. Her father kept
watch over her and Gloria went homo
amazed at the cantankerous meddle-
someness Of parents In love affairs.
She told her father that he ought
to be in better business than playing
the demon chaperon. but he only
smiled. She was all he had and he
wanted to keep her to the last mo-
ment. He wanted also to make some
investigation of Freneau's behavior
and his reliability as a son-in-law. He
had heard but little about him, but that
little was not good.

Pierpont violently insisted that
Gloria was only child. But he was
only a father and merely brother
to Hortensia, so she waved him aside
as a nuisance. Gloria embraced her
feryently and thought her an angel.

point a committee of three to as- certain from the assessors books the valuation of all the property lying within the district. Said committee to also confer with the county judge and ask that a survey be made. MT. Jeffries appointed J. H. .Crossett, J. F. Morgan end M. H. Patterson.
 It was decided by those present that the committee find the value of the property, the name of owner and number of acres, within one mile of the section line which the road will parallel and also the property, name of owner and acres within a mile and a half of same.
 A motion offered by J. L.. Bronte and seconded by w. B. Jelks prevailed that the County Judge be asked to have a survey of the proposed road made at once. The meeting adjourned to meet again next Monday, June, 19, at one o'clock.
 The meeting proved a most enthusiastic one and everyone seemed willing to enter into an improvement district plan to se- cure the road so much coveted and so badly needed. It is grat- flying to note that our people have seemingly grasped the bet ter roads idea and that steps are now being made to make the same a realization.

proposed district.

interested in seeing the road built, spoke in favor of having a preliminary survey made and he was followed by M. H. Patterson of Jelks who said that the pres ent assessors books be checked and learn the valuation of the property. In speaking of the road district. he said the last leg islature raised the limit of assess ment from 25 to 30 per cent un- der the Arnold Road Law.
 Mir. Patterson spoke of the failure recently of the Augusta Tupelo road and said further that 1t had been found that one mile of rock road located three miles from a railway station cost as much as three miles of road located at a station. He favor ed only one mile of territory north and south of the road con- stituting the district as against a mile and half It was his opin- ion that incorporated towns could not be included in road improve ment districts, but that he would make bond to build rock road through his town of Jelks.
 MT. Patterson stated as mat ter of information to those pre- sent that he had talked with Mir. Dean of the Iron Mountain Ky. Go. and that he thought the railroads would not object but would favor the proposition inas- much as they would haul the rock which is equal to more than three times the cost of the same. He said he purchased a few cars for the road at Jelks and 1t cost him 5000 a car with S36.00 freight to be added. He estimat- ed it would take 30 cars to the mile and with nothing paid for distributing the rock the average cost would be about S1, 500. per  mile. He said the railroad was assessed at S2, 400. per mile and suggested that the section line which almost parallels the rail- road be made the dividing or cen- ter line of the district.
 Alderman c. B. Riggs was the only member of the town council present and he suggested that if necessary for the town to be included in the district that the town surrender it's charter. This was met with hearty ap- plause and caused a ripple of laughter to spread over the,audi- ence, whereupon MT. Patterson suggested that the people of Jelks might postpone their peti- tion for incorporation in order to get into the district.
