much in the dark as to what he was
driving at.
You're just like any other city girl
Tommy continued, ignoring her ques'
ton. you don't know what it is to
wake up at o'clock in the morning
and see the sun come up over the hills.
You're afraid Of COW which wouldn't
hurt even a kitten, and you don't even
know that duck lays eggs"
There was wistfu! light in the
depths of Tommy's eyes. He was living
for the moment his own boyhooG see
ing himself barefooted on the farm on
which his father worked, feeling the
touch of the cool grass on his tanned
feet, breathing the bracing air of a
perfect spring day in the mountains.
Nora's eyes opened even wider.
II thought you liked it here" she
said.
81 dc like it a little, but that's only
because you are here. Otherwise
wouldn't stay another minute"
What would you do?"
I'D you back to the country"
Gould you get a job up there?"
Yes"
rs that what you were going to tell
me-?
"Yes."
What kind ola Job is it,"
There was something in Nora's voice
which made Tommy suddenly glad
again.
II got letter from Nick Phillips
this morning" he explained slowly
Nick says that old man Glenwood is
looking for a man and his wife to take
over his farm for the summer It
means sixty dollars a month and all
expenses. and the job has been offered
to me. It's only open to man and his
wife. I thought perhaps that you might
be willing to go. But you say you
won't leave the city"
Does it mean we can get married."
Nora asked softly
Yes, it means just that"
For a moment Nora was silent.
Shrill cries of children playing in the
street came to her; from the next
block sounded the rumble of the street
cars. Just for few seconds she hest
tated. and then her small hand crept
suddenly into Tommy's large one. Had
she been a student of the Bible she
might have said: "Entreat me not to
leave three or TO return from follow
in after three: for whittier thou goest.
will 20; and where thou lodgest.
will lodee: thy people shall be my peo-
pie and thy God my God"
But being only Nora McMurtry,
with big love in her heart for the
man beside her. she said simply:
Take the job. Tommy: I'll be the
wife. and we can go together"

r. ORGANIZATION.

Sentiment for the organization of q
home guard unit in Ottumwa is grow
ing.
Careful consideration of the question
shows the need for such a body Of men
after the members OF the regularly or
ganized federal groups, have gone.
Men who are past the age limit for
the draft, youngsters not old enough
to come under its provisions and many
others who for the reason Of having de-
pendents or being employed in work
essential to the prosecution Of the war
would be eligible for membership.
The suggestion has been made by
members of the Ottumwa Rifle club
that that organization form the nucleus
