have been wanting to write lit
tie story or something, but have been
puzzled Just what to call it. have
heard of men who make a speech or
write a sermon and then select the
subject or the text afteryard. This
is to be neither a speech nor a SER
mon. And yet I wanted to write OF
several things on a little outing, so to
speak, that I took the other day.
love to get out in the country and look
at the woods and the fields and mingle
and talk with the people who live in
the rural districts. Not that New
berry is such a city, but I love the
freedom of the rural districts, and
somehow I believe that the readers OF
The Herald and News really enjoy
reading at times something besides
war and politics and business and
sickness and death, and a country
newspaper, according to my notion of
newspapering, should deal with local
affairs largely and they should not be
confined to the local affairs of the
town in which is the publication Office.

But as to- my subject. Meander was
originally the name of river in
Phrygia, proverbial for it's many
windings. Webster tells us the word
means a winding, crooked or involv-
ed course. The word just suggested
itself to me because I wanted to write
about several matters not exactly re-
lated the one to the other, and so long
a story as this promises to be would
not look well in the paper without
some sort of title, OF head in news
paper parlance. So here goes with no
apologies.

In prOvls- ions, the outcome ranged from 35c decline tO CD cents advance.
 Although prices in tue corn market had an upward slant at the opening, sellers were soon in a majority. and during tn" remainder of the day the bulls were at an evident disadvantage. Continued scanti ness of corn receipts together with Initial higher quotations on hogs failed to excr- else more than temporary strengthening influence. The close was at virtually the lowest figures of the day.
 Despite further sales to the scaboard, oats gave way with corn

"What was the idea in wrecking the room ?"
 "The only time it has been wrecked that I remember" I answered with spirit, "was when you did it."
 'Is that so?" he retorted, sarcaa- tically.
 "Quite so, indeed" i assured him.

 That was the truth in part so I did not deny it. Neither did l af- firm it. I knew it would make no difference either way. "Well, do you think you are going to get by with ?" he asked, his eyes narrowing and his hands con- mencing to open and shut. And then my anger famed. was surprised at it, surprised and proud! That meant, of course, that I was NOT afraid of him.
 'I don't think l shall get by with it. as you so slangily express it; l KNOW 1 shall" almost shrieked this defiance of him. He half re- coiled and then his lip curled, butt it made no difference. I was daunt- less.
 'The things in this house, Critten- den Hayes, stay as they are, or as may want them," l went on, boldly. "I don't interfere with your business affairs. You shall not interfere with me and the house. l have rights as well as you have and I'm going to have them respected!" Crittenden gasped. Here was something entirely new. But he said nothing.

And third, my ex- perience with him that morning fol- lowing the collar episode had left me in no uncertain frame of mind as to my present feeling toward him, nor, indeed as to the feelin gin my arm!
 The thing was soon done. John was strong and had no trouble in shifting the heavy furniture.

The floor lamp stood gracefully tall near the piano instead of alone in the opposite cor ner where masculine lack of taste had decided it should go. The rugs, |too, with the furniture, re-arranged, were disposed to better advantage, and, when it was all done, stood off and surveyed it with much satisfac- tion.
 I refused to worry about what Crit tenden would think or say when he saw what had been done. I should take instead the pleasure the chang ed condition provided. And 1 did.

Marjorie Boyd called in the after noon after the living room had been finished. She noticed it at once.
 "Oh, but this is scrumptious now Bessn' she exclaimed. "When did you do it?"
 ''Only today-this afternoon. Do you like it?"
 "Very much, indeed. Do you know Bess, this room actually gave me the willies the way it was. I'll tell what it looked like, Bess," she went on, "it made one think some man from 8 warehouse had done it! Stor- ed it, you know"

 Marjorie was still there when Crit. tenden came at five o'clock. She called gaily to him as he entered the front door and he joined us in the living room. A swift change in hi expression was the only sign he gave that he noticed the e-arrangement of the furniture. But the equally swift glance he shot at me was quite enough to let me know that he woule have something to say when we were alone.
