is calling us by our first names! How
do you think he is going to feel about
it, | ask you?"

So Georgina put on an afternoon
frock and silk stockings and every
thing; and set out the tea things in
front of the fire-eyen to the Shelf

Peabody had tea out of with Cen

her; but it was milking time, and |
rushed to the corral in my blue
denim and muddy boots and was glad
of it! You see, now that Georgina
had got back her velvety voice and
rosy cheeks, l could talk up" to her
and not feel sorry afterward. l was
sitting on the milking-bench Baldwin
had made for us and Margaretha was
munching her measure of feed and
looking off in a way she had, as if
she were thinking beautiful thoughts,
when | saw a man coming around
the lane-a man in khaki and puttees
and a rough riders hat. He unlocked
the gate, and it was Baldwin!
WELL" he said, i've got my letter
at last and am to report to the Pre-,
sidio at San Francisco as soon as
possible"
You're going to be a soldier"
Margaretha looked around inquir-
ingly, for l had stopped milking.
It's splendid of YOU" and then
could say no more, for, as in a vision,
l saw in this young man all the
youth and the brave manhood of the
land going to war, and l could feel
only a great sorrow.
You are crying, Barbara"
"Yes-for you all-all the young
men that must CO.
l got up with my pail of milk and
he took it out of my hand, and, the
next thing, l was somehow crying
against his brand new brass buttons

now-"and | must run over to the
shack and wash up a bit. You are
to go along, please. Georgina is wait

When came back they were
| standing together before the log-fre
it had turned suddenly cool-and
she was looking at him with such
kind eyes. Georgina was always
splendidly patriotic and his uniform
had wiped out whatever she. had
against him. Baldwin was laughing.
Your sister has been trying to
break it to me as gently as possible
that you are not altogether what you
| seem. But you've never seemed any
thing else to. me but what you are!
| And as this appears to be the mo-

conscience, might as we'll confess

1t was perfectly plain that we'd
just have to have man until we
got things started, and George anG
he talked it over, and arranged about
the price. Georgina gave him his
supper after we had finished, and
told him he could have a cot under
the cypress trees, if he didn't mind
sleeping out of doors. He was quite
used to camping in the open, and
Georgina relented and gave him our
best pair of blankets. After milking
the goats for us, he tethered them
under the trees for the night. Then
it was that, as | said before, we were
glad that our tenants weren't very
keen of hearing, for all night long
Margaretha and Fanchion bleated for
their old home.
'Blatting, they call it," | said to
Georgina.
And quite good enough" said she.
1T just sounds like it."
The next day Baldwin put up a
shed, built a milking platform and
made some very good-looking STAN
! chions. He and George talked goats
all day long. They agreed that goats
were goats, and not COWS or pigs, and

days work was done. All our best

| had to admit, we owed to our hired

asked eagerly.
"They can be shipped tomorrow

Margaretha turned over in her

to our little shack, Georgina took her
soapy arms out of the wash-tub and,

Many thousand families throughout

subsist perfectly well with the use of
less wheat products than one and one

ask the well-to-do households In the

]. C. WHEELER

A great many people in Ocala and
the country adjoining viii be sorry to
learn of the death of J. c. Wheeler,
which took place at his home in Muir
freesboro, Tenn, one day last week.
Mr.. Wheeler first came to Marion
county about sixteen years ago, as
representative of the international
Harvester Company. He carried on
the work of that corporation among
the farmers and machinists of this
section for a number of years and
won the confidence and good will of
all with whom he became acquainted.
A few years ago, Mr.. Wheeler be-
came manager of the Marion Hard
ware Company, and brought his fam
lily here to reside. They did not re-
main much over a year, but they
greatly endeared themselves to the
friends they made in that short time.
Other business connections obliged
Mr.. Wheeler to resign his position
here and with his family to return to
their former home In Tennessee,
where they have since remained.
Mr.. Wheeler was man of business
ability, of high character and genial
spirit. He made friends wherever he
went and always held them.
He leaves a wife and two children,
a boy and girl. He was also a
brother Of w. v. Wheeler Of the Com
mercial Bank and an uncle of Chas. F.
Flippen of the Marion Hardware
Company, the former of whom was
with him when he died.
He was one of the Stars friends
and the Star mingles in sorrow with
his other friends.

REQUEST TO SUBSCRIBERS
TO THE RED CROSS

All monthly subscribers to the Red
Cross chapter will please hand in their
subscriptions for the months of March
and April, as I am very anxious to
have all collections made up to date
before turning the list over to the
treasurer. Your finance committee
asked for four hundred dollars month
ly, but the response to the call has
been disappointing in the fact that
we have only about fifty dollars
pledged for this work. It would seem
that there should be four hundred
people who would be willing to donate
one dollar each month for this most
worthy cause. Kindly hand in your
name, with the amount you viii give.
