The girl on the bank caught her
breath, but said nothing. Must they
swim across? Was there no other
way? She watched Holt standing.
strong and manly, in the middle of
the stream, the water above his waist.
Presently, wien he had gone more
than half waJ across he turned and
came back to her.
She was white with excitement, but
her lips were set and her eyes we're
bright with tie intention of doing his
bidding.
81 am sorry. There is no other way,
and we must hurry, for the sui is
getting low We should reach that
house before dark"
He stopped and gathered her in his
strong arms. lifting her shoulder high,
and stalked out into the stream be-
fore she knew what he was doing.
"Oh. please, l can walk as we'll as
you" she deprecated.
Put your trims around my neck,
please" he commanded, md waded in,
holding her high and dry above the
water.
She obeyed instantly, In trust and
shy wonder, ard the wa.er rose about
them, but did not touch her.
Once. when they. were In the middle
Of the stream, Hollis foot slipped and
for an instant it seemed as though
he would lose his balance, but he
lifted her the higher ard almost in
stantly recovered himself. In a mo-
ment more they had crossed the
stream, and he had set her down
upon the bank and was shaking the
water from his garments as If 1t were
a common thing which he had done
and he enjoyed it. She looked down
at herself. Not a shred Of her gar
ments was wet, while he was drenched
almost to the arm pits.
"Y0u are all wet!" she exclaimed,
conscience stricken.
you wouldn't expect me to keep
dry In all that, would you?" he asked,
with his eyes dancing.
Then they laughed like two children,
and . frightened. chipmunk ran chat
tering away in the trees.
Are you all right?" he asked solicit
ously. Are you perfectly dry?" His
voice wa husky with emotion and his
eyes tender.
"Of course I'm dry she answered
obviously. as II half ashamed OF the
fact. why wouldn't l be when I'm
treated like a baby? It seems to me
you didn't cutie keep to the terms Of
our partnership"
This ~ n Of the big things
he said, "cnly I didn't want you to
know It. To tell you tie truth. / didn't
know whether that stream was ford

II you got your clothes wei again It
would hinder You in walking. Come,
We must make that house before dark.
In hungry, aren't you? And we're
pretty sure to find bacon and corn
bread at least. How does that sound?.
Good she cried. laughing, and
took the hand that was held out to her.
Together they ran on over the rough
ground toward supper ana rest.

n clean. For these she gave 50 and
the remains OF the once treasured, but
now tattered and travelled staine, silk
robe she wore. And so it was as a
western girl, in riding skirt and blouse,
that she emerged from the little closet
where she had slept, but SO wholly was
She able to s%ubjugate her clothes, and
so exquisiteiy did her flower face and
golden brown hair set them off, that
they tOok on a style and beauty an
tirely out of their nature; and their
former owner stared in wonder and
sighed with envy as she beheld. 1t
had not been the silken garment that
made this girl a queen, bat her own
beauty of countenance and regal bear
ing; for here were her w old clothes
worn like a royal robe, making the
stranger lovely as the morning.
Holt looked at the girl In startled
wonder when she appeared, SO trig and
sweet in her travelling garb, ready Cor
the next stage of her journey, and
tremSled with JOY at the day that vas
before him; albeit the end o: the
journey would bring sadness and part
ing, he knew. He wanted to knock
down the men who stared insolently,
Offering audible comments on her COIN
plexion and bearing that made the
swift, frightened color come to her
cheeks. He ate his breakfast in
naughty silence, sitting between Jean
and one of the men, and shielding her
as far as possible from any need of
conversation ave with her hostess, |
who waited OF them all and lowered
admiringly round her young guests
chair with offers of m~olasses and mush
that were fairly overwhelming.
"Any need fer a Clergyman asked
the 1gliest of the three men, leaning |
forward across the table, his knife and |
fork held perpendicular each side of
his plate, a large piece of ham aloft on
his fork. He gave an ugly wink at the
others and they laughed coarsely and
meahingly.
"Yas, you could sit the selder by 60.
in about 10 mile out o yer way" add
ed another, and devoted himself audi
bly, to his thick cup of muddy coffee.
Holt ignored these remarks and be-
gan asking questions of his host about
the crops and the exact location of the
house with regard to railroads.. won

their rough Jokes. and hoping she did
not.

and smiled her very sweetest on her
hostess, making her heart glad at tho
parting by the gift Of q pair of cheap,
but rretty, little cuff pins that had
been fastened on the front of her trav-
cling robe.
So they mounted and rode away.
Jean like the queen of a. girl that she
was. and her companion no less noble
in his bearing. The Joy they felt in
the day and each other was only
equalled by their OWN shyness in
speaking of it.

MILLION JOBS ON FARMS.
These Opportunities for Work Are
Awaiting U. S. Soldiers.

TIE soldiers are returning to the
farms and there are more than a mil
lion jobs on the farms awaiting the
returning soldiers. This was the
statement issued by G. I. Christie. as
sistant secretary of agriculture and
the departments representative on
the interdepartmental emergency COM
mittee to cooperate and coordinate
All agencies interested in finding work
Tor soldiers and sailors.
Mr.. Christie points out that putting
soldiers and sailors who left the farms
to fight for world freedom back on
their jobs on the farms is one of the
most important tasks before the in
terdepartmental committee. He ex-
plains the departmental activities as
follows:
Through the states relations serv-
ice of the Department of Agriculture,
and the extension service of the agri-
cultural colleges, agricultural repre-
sentatives have been placed in the de-
mobilization camps. where they are
giving the soldiers needed information
to openings and opportunities in
agriculture. This is resulting in many
thousands of young men returning to
follow the occupation for which they
have been trained.
Farmers are offering good wages,
in many cases a partnership in the
farm business and are building suita- =
bic homes and supplying better living
conditions. All of this is appealing TO
men who have experienced hardships
in the city as a result of poor living
conditions. high cost of living and
other unusual expenses"

w. A. MEARNS ADJUDGED
IN CONTEMPT OF COURT
Fails to Turn Over to Receivers
$3.50 Fund Claimed by
M. B. Spaulding.

William A. Mearns. broker and
Lewis Johnson & Company, was ad-
judged in contempt of court yesterday
by Justice Bailey of the District Su-
preme Court and ordered into the
custody of United States Marshal
SpIain. Mr.. Mearns failed to pbey an
order of the court requiring him to
turn over to receivers of the
court a fund of s3,S79 claimed by
Morril b. Spaulding to be due him on
contracts for furnishing the govern
ment certain shipbuilding material.
Mr.. Mearns Notes Appeal.
When the order of payment was
made several days ago Mr.. Mearns
noted an appeal and a supersedeas
bond was fixed at $4,000 Under the
rules of the court an appeal fails un-
sedeas bond within twenty days.
Counsel for Mr.. Mearns claimed that
as the twenty days had not expired
he could not be made to pay over the
fund. The plaintiff insisted that the
order of the court must be obeyed
unless the bond is actually filed be-
fore a petition on the part of the
Plaintiff asking for the execution of
the sorder. Since Mr.. Spaulding had
requested this action by the court Mr..
Mearns could be adjudged in con-
tempt, it is claimed.
The court adopted this view. and
counsel for Mr.. Mearns is endeavor-
ing to keep him out of Jail by seeking
relief in the Court of Appeals.
