Then told him of my other jeal-
ousies. Of Irma and the others.
Finally spoke of finding the let

the reading of the two had made me
so miserable that even my curiosity
would not let me read any more
Then l recalled all the little things
which have here narrated that made
me miserable up to the time found
the note he had written Leola-that
note which, so long ago, she had pin

him. "You never have said anything
like that to me, never once. Then |
knew for sure that you never had
loved me. Up to that time hadn't
been quite sure. | thought perhaps
it was because you was dignified and
older that you never said things like
that to me-like Duane Sloane says
to Alice; and now Irma's husband
he's as old as you-says to her. But
after l found that | knew you never
would love me. That's the reason l

tell you what was the matter-I was

You weren't before dinner when you
were suspicious of me-"
That was different. But Everett,

hurt me So"
What has hurt your"
Because you didn't love me-like
you-could."
"Sandra, will you stop crying and
tell me what you mean?" he spoke
in voice I never had heard. One
that seemed to hold note of anxiety,
and somthing very like desire
'I'll try, Everett" l gulped down
my sobs, desperately frightened, but
determined to tell him. Perhaps if
1 did I would stop thinking of it
my only thought.
So I had told him all had felt
since I married him five years be-
fore. How at first it was Leola' S
picture, then other things. Of
my remembrance of her, which every
one told me of-my coloring-and

you have been unhappy because you
imagined I didn't love you! Why,
my darling, was afraid to show my
love for you to the extent / wanted
to, for fear you would think me a
silly old fool. Your young friends
had made fun of me as an old man
until really felt you looked upon
me in the same light. For five years
dearest, I have held myself in check
for fear I would shock, perhaps dis
gust, you. Oh, what waste of

life I had nearly wasted because |
would not trust the man I loved. l
was % years old now, and just be-
ginning to know what it meant to be
happy. Those FIVE years oh, how I
have regretted theml Now am as
happy as the day is long. My story
is ended. For when one is perfectly
happy, when one is sailing on calm
sea, there is little to tell That we
are happy is all. But:
If any one who reads this is jealous,
suspicious by nature, don't keep on
being jealous and suspicious, making
excuses for yourself on that ground.
Talk things over, then have faith.
Trust is seldom abused. But even
though it were, it is better than to
have soured ones life by jealousies
and suspicious.

To Help Worthy Cause

If you are the owner of an automo- bile or any other vehicle using rub Der tire said Solon Jacobs, .vou un- doubtedly throw away occasionally a discarded tire or inner tube on which no adjustment can be had and no one is being benefited thereby whereas if you will give such discarded materials to the anti tuberculosis association that is in dire need of assistance vou will be contributing directly to the support of some poor and afflicted per son.
 If sufficient number of people would save their old tires and tubes for the nti-tuberculosis association enough funds could no doubt be se- cured to properly maintain the insti- tuition.
 Please think this over carefully and arrange to leave your discarded tires and tubes at the store of the Southern Tire Accessories Co.,. No 526 north goth street, or Liberty Tire company. No. SIP south 21st. street, who have kindly consented to receive such contri- buttons for the anti-tube sculosis as- sociation"

HARVEST AND SOCIETY NOTE

From the solomon. Mo. Tribune.
 Ii. L. Peterson was here between trans this morning on his way home from Barnard, where he had been as slsting his sister and some others with the harvest. Shortly after he started work he gotta wrench in his back which iald him up for couple of days. He made the remark to the fellow he was working for that if he had board to ms back he believed he could go ahead with the shocking. Why not put on corset and try that?" the farmer asked So they hunted up big corset. a ball of binding twine and strapped Leslie up. He worked this way for a week or so and got along fine. About the only inconveniences was removing the thing at meal time and then hunt Ing up more tWine So he could make It meet, The first day he laced it a trlfle tight and was sick two or three times during the day He says he knows how to sympathize with the ladies now.

 main: V Gay, ,htly land of mirth and social
 ease, Pleaseu with myself, whom all the world

 Loire. Where shading ems along the margin And 1reshened from the wave the zephyr
 flew; And haply. though my harsh touch, fal-
 tering still, But mocked ali tune, and marred the
 dancers skill, Yet would the village praise my won-
 drous power. And dance. forgetful of the noontide
 hour Theirs are those arts that mind to mind
 endear, For honor forms the social temper here Honor that praise which real merit gains Or even imaginary worth obtains. Here passes current paid from hand to
