THAT GOOD OLD RAIL FENCE
Ancient and Honorable and Convent
ent Institution That Held Hon
ored Place on the Farm.

Among the once necessaries Of farm
life that reflected p%rodigality in the
use Of valuable timber was the old
rail fence, observes the Columbus Dis
patch. Like many other almost by
cones Of rural life, its place in farm
waStefulneSS now Is well established
and yet 1t had it's uses for which the
present straight line wire fencing can
not qualify.
The old rail fences serrated
stretches were the homes of small ami
mai life that now are rapidly disap-
p%earing. Around It's timbers there grew
the uncultivated blackberry, with it's
sister, the raspberry, and among it's
recesses there thrived the elder whose
fruit once was coveted pie material
and whose blossoms We're the founda-
ton for elderberry wine that matrons
served of a winter evening when the
neighbors gathered.
The rail fence, with its invariabie
underground. wa. the favOrite protec-
ton for Bob White in winter, and
from its top he sang in the warmer
seasons. Beneath, the little ground
squirrel burrOwed. From safe re-
treat he chartered If some intruder
came near to annoy him as he was
busily engaged in gathering his store
OF food for the snow time.
To the harvest hand it afforded pro-
lection at the end Of the long row for
a brief respite and its corners formed
shaded hooks under which the water
jug might be kept.
And from what royal timber was
this old fence constructed! Black
walnut logs. chestnut logs and the
smooth lengths OF the ash tree were
cleft by numerous rail splitters for
the "sevpn high" fence that stood the
storms of decades. There was many
a black walnut rail whose timber
would make the manufacturer OF gun
stocks chOrtle with satisfaction had
he such a present supply Of wood at
his command.

by the Federal government in af-

"Our committing government

It's time for America to awake.

she were brazen-well, he liked bras

she wanted to have a serious talk with
him at his convenience, he made II the

He asked her IL she would not meet
him somewhere for tea, but she said
that she preferred to see him at her
brothers apartment. His Invitation
aroused her suspicion. Her invitation
confirmed his.
Daphne's heart was beating excited
ly while she waited for him and she
began to feel that she had put herself
In wrong light. When Duane ar
rived and the maid showed him into
the living room Daphne tried to re-

So Daphne medltcted as she had
never meditated before and might not
often mediate again. She refused to
buy n thing. Her mother could only
explain her mood as symptom of an
Illness and advise her to get home to
bed. There was something suspicious
in the condition of a girl who could
look with qQalms of conscience or ap-
petite on such a banquet.
At length fatigue and faintness re-
minded Mrs. Kip. senior, that she had
not eaten and the hour was late. She
called for her luncheon and they went
together to tearoom. Here Daphne
had another attack of eccentricity; a
stubborn determination to go home
and send back to Dutilh the wicked
gown that she had bought of him on
credit.
She had left the house without re-
turning II and she was afraid that
there would be difficulties IL she de-
lnyed. Fortunately there had been no

Even In the eyes of ambition this
promised to require fairly long
perlod--a period so lengthy that she
wondered IL Clay's love would outlast
it.
She did love him and the thought
of losing him alarmed her more than
the thought of losing the precious
gown.

cealed her agitation in the brlskness
with which she concluded the affair OF
the Dutilh gown. She folded It up and
laid Il back In the box as If II were a
baby she was about to leave on a door
step. She kissed it good-by and put
the lid over It and tied II up with n
crazy combination of strings of vari-
Gus sorts.
She refused TO go TO the tea party,
now that the gown was lost, and she
said she had letters to write.
But when her mother and Leila had
left her she wrote only one letter-a
note Of regretful rejection to Dutilh.
She pinned IL TO the box and sent II
