There were twelve faithful
voters at the port election last
Saturday an increase of four
over the election last year. 1t is
pleasing to note that three wo-
men braved the weather and cast
their ballots.
The argument seems to be
against free ferries "a feeling to
get something back, even if it is
only a crumb. The present fer
ry to and from the Island, costs
seventeen thousand a year to
operate, and five thousand is the
estimated receipts. Why not let
it be free-the same as a bridge
across a stream or a gravel road:
Recent letters from Craig and

YOU talk ABOUT a woman's sphere
And say il has no limit.
And what you say is very true
There is no error in it.
But let me ask you just one thing,
And answer If you can:
How could a woman do so much
Without the help of man2
There's not place in earth or
heaven'-
Deny it If you can.
Where women would be worth rap
Without the aid OF man.
There's not blessing or woe"
In heavens appointed plan,
But woman seeks to realize
The sympathy OF man.

CHAPTER u.
The Acting Agent.

Within a few minutes the party had
neared the top of the ridge. The
thoroughbred mare came trotting up
from the hollow on the other side. At
sight of them her rider brought her to
a stand. The older man spurred his
pony up the round of the summit. 'By
Gar, that wasn't no bad play you made,
partner" he called. "Taking the butte
gave you the drop on EN-"
The man whose strategy had routed
the Indians did not reply. The girl
looked up at him with confident ex-
pectancy in her sparkling eyes. He did
not move. The expression of his harsh
features was severe, but there was a
flush under the tropical tan on his
cheeks.
She hesitated, her rich color deepen
ing. Then her pique gave way TO a
more generous impulse. She drew the
gauntlet glove from her right hand.
Under his cold gaze her eyes again
hardened with offended pride, and
again they softened and glowed with
frank appreciation.
"Can you forgive meY she asked.
He bowed formally. "If you think
there is anything to be forgiven"
"You know there is. l wish to apollo
gize."
She stood up in the blackboard and
held out her hand to him. 1t was very
white and shapely. He bowed over it
with grave courtesy, as he took it in
his nervous clasp.
"You have nc need to apologize.
Miss -"
"Dupont-Marie Dupont"
"None whatever, Miss Dupont" he
went on. 81 should have explained my
intentions"
"Why didn't you make for the butte
first thing, instead of crossing the cou-
lee2" broke in the blond young man.
II did not wish to shoot until / un-
derstoOd the cause of the trouble. There
was also the chance that they would
cease firing when rode towards them"
'SThat was nervy Of you" remarked
Meade County news., 1917-02-15
"HO, ThereI Cease FlrIna!o

But one swung his rifle around and
fired. The bullet grazed the riders
coat collar. He flung up his right hand,
palm outward. The reply to the peace
sign was second bullet, that cut the
crown of his campaign hat.
Two bullets were enough to change
the tactics Of the rider. At word
from him and touch of the rein, his
mare swerved and plunged obllquely
down the side Of the coulee. The In
dluns burst into exultant yells, and
several opened fire on the fugitive as
the mare leaped down to the coulee
and dashed across the bottom toward
the gulley.
Urged on by voice and spurless heel,
the mare sprinted over the sandy level
with the rush Of racehorse on the
home stretch. Coming to the narrowed
stream, she covered 1t in single tre-
mendous leap, and dashed on, un-
checked, up into the gulley, safe out Of
rsach n those whirrinR leaden hornets.
