ent to do. The price of food stuff might
soar twice as high as it is today, and the

In spite of the High cost of gasoline,
few of the men are giving up their auto

same. The farmers do not make over
their machinery, neither does the coun-

few men shampoo their own hair or

turned toward him in CONSERVATION at
the sudden burst of what seemed al
most an accusation against her loyalty,
and sobbed; "I, too, am a Choctaw,
though but a maiden, so why should you
think that I am coward, John Cohee.
Because I have told you my love and
have given you my lips to kiss I weep,
but I do not wish that a lover of mine
should break the Oath of his tribe"
Although her words were brave, her
spirit was weak, and there came to her
ears the sound of the mournful night
wind in the trees and the long low boot
of an owl afar off, and she thought of
the days when he would come no more
to meet her by the old spring, and her
heart grew heavy, and her sobs came
faster. The sudden Tightening of his
arms about her was partly from anger
and partly from chagrin, at his failure
to lure her from her stand and his dark
eyes searched the shadows restless
ly as if for escape, while his hand
continued methodically to stroke the
smoothness of her hair. His mind was
leaping on ahead to that ride of his
when he would urge his faithful little
pony through the darkness and leave
forever that hateful shadow and fear
which had been his companion for days
and nights. The sound of the rustling
leaves made his soul cringe Before his
eyes they danced and quivered, those
millions and millions OF green leaves,
all big enough to mark that spot where
his heart now beat so fearfully. He hat
ed the sight of them, the color, the
shape. He 1onged ardently to get away,
far away to that wild bare prairie which
he had once seen. Far to the north it
lay, but there were no green leaves wav
ing there, and he meant to start on the
search for it this very night
He must leave and at once. The wild
desire to be up and away assailed him
like the sudden desire for strong drink
assails the man who is it's victim. He
must say his goodbys and be gone. He
put his head closer to the smooth little
one which was resting in such security
on his breast, and began to whisper
those oft repeated love words, which on
his tongue meant so little, when he was
aware of sound which told of the ap-
proach of someone. Almost unconsci-
ously his arms relaxed their hold and
he put up his head to listen. In the
west the pale, new moon was sinking be-
hind the clump of trees and with it's
going, the stars glittered more brilliant
ly. The night was full of sound, all the
murmurous dronings of sleepy things
which makes the darkness musical in
the summer. The faint cry of the whip
poorwill calling to its mate came like a
tiny echo from the far of recesses of
the forest across the cotton field, and
near at hand hooking bird poured out
its rapture in song to the stars
Suddenly from out of the dusky dark
there came to their ear a voice, the
voice of Lewis James, and scarcely be-
fore thew had time to snrinp anart his
