CHAPTER XI.

Almost was Lucy's last word on the last night of Georges vacation that vital evening which she had half consented to agree upon for settling things" between them. Almost en- gagged" she meant. And George. dis cOntented with the almost" but con- tented that she seemed glad to wear a sapphire locket with a tiny photograph of George Anderson Minafer inside 1t, found himself wonderful in a new world at the final instant of their part ing. For, after declining to let him kiss her "good-by," as If his desire for such a ceremony were the most pre- posterous absurdity In the world. she had leaned suddenly close to him and left upon his cheek the veriest feather from a fairy's wing.
 She wrote him month later:
 "No. It must keep on being almost.
 Isn't almost pretty pleasant? You know we'll enough that care for you. did from the first minute saw you, and I'm pretty sure you knew it-Im afraid you did. I'm afraid you always knew it. But it's such a solemn thing 1t scares me. It means a good deal to lot of people besides you and me, and that scares me, too. l shouldn't be bit surprised to find myself an old lady, some day, still thinking of you-while you'd be away and away with somebody else perhaps, and me forgotten ages ago! Lucy Morgan, you'd say, when you saw my obituary. Lucy Morgan? Let me see: I seem to remember the name. Didn't know some Lucy Morgan or other, once upon timer Then you'd shake your big white head and stroke your long white beard-you'd have such distinguished long white beard! and you'd say, No. l don't seem to remember any Lucy Morgan; wonder what made me think I dfdT And poor me! I'd be deep in the ground, wondering if you'd heard about 1t and what you were saying Good-by for today. Don't work too hard-dear!' !'
 George immediately seized pen and paper, plaintively but vigorously re questing Lucy not to imagine him with beard, distinguished or otherwise even in the extremities of age. Then, after inscribing his protest in the mat ter of this visiOned beard, he con- cluded his missive in tone modified to tenderness, and proceeded to read a letter from his mother which had reached him simultaneously with Lucy's. Isabel wrote from Asheville, where she had just arrived with her husband:
 T think your father looks better al- ready, darling, though we've been here only few hours. It may be we've found just the place to build him up The doctors said they hoped it would prove to be, and if it is, 1t would be worth the long struggle we had with him to get him to give up and come I'm afraid that in my anxiety to get him to do what the doctors wanted him to, I wasn't able to back up Broth CT George as l should in his difficulty with Sydney and Amelia. I'm so sorry George is more upset than I've ever seen him-they've got what they want ed, and they're sailing before long, hear, to live in Florence. Father said he couldn't stand the constant per suading-Tm afraid the word he used was 'nagging.' I can't understand peo- pie behaving like that. George says

had appeared to her as tinged with heroism-she had shown, rather than said, how brave she thought him. When he went back to college, what came most vividly to Georges mind, during retrospections, was the despair ing face of his Aunt Fanny. Again and again he thought of it; he could not avoid it's haunting. Her grief had been so silent, yet 1t had so amazed him.
 George felt more and more compas- sion for this ancient antagonist of his, and he wrote to his mother about her

Flowers Loved by All.

Flowers seem intended for the solace of ordinary humanity; children love them; quiet, contented, ordinary peo- pie love them as they grow; luxurious and disorderly people rejoice in them gathered; they are the cottager's treas ure, and in the crowded town mark, as with a little broken fragment of rainbow, the windows of the workers in whose hearts rests the covenant of peace.-Ruskin.

A meeting of the Executive commit

from each precinct in the county was

of all of the precinct chairmen that
the returned soldier should take some
part in this Victory Loan campaign
and in all probabilities they will take
part in the great demonstration on
April Both by making up great pa
rade Of soldiers.
Another meeting will be held on
next Wednesday evening at the Cham

parade will be finally settled and at
that meeting arrangements will also
be made for the organization of some
sort of permanent county ASSOCIATION.

in church circles was the cantata
given by the large choir of the Third
Street NJ E. Church last evening. The
audience was limited only by the seat
ing capacity of the church-every
available nook and corner was occu-
pied, and many standing during the
service. The choir was never in bet
ter condition and the leader Carl
Dodds and accompanist ]. R. Curry,
drew such food of melody from the
singers as was never heard in the old
church before. Under the leadership
Of Mr.. Dodds this choir has grown in
numbers and ability to sing so that it
is now a musical organization that any
church might be proud of. The choir
is proud of its leader and expect I'M
der his direction to give many musical
evenings during the year.

Evidence.

Maysville and Mason county people
celebrated Easter Sunday as they have
never celebrated the day in many
years. Practically every church in the
city had special Easter service OF
some sort and those that made no
special effort at an Easter service did
not fail to connect the day in some
manner with the regular services.
So far as is known, not minister
in the city but who made some REFER
ance to the day in his morning SER
mon.
The afternoon was given over to the
style parade and the streets were iill-
ed with ladies and gentlemen in their
new spring togs and while there might
have been some Paris, New York or
Cincinnati gowns on parade, there
were none that looked better or we're
more greatly complimented than were
the garments purchased from our own
Maysville shops. y
During the last half of the afternoon
the folks crowded to the Washington
Theater to attend the first municipal
concert of the Maysville Boys Band
There was a good sized crowd present
and the band did itself proud and
greatly surprised those who heard
them. They have learned much since
their last appearance and the proceeds
of their concert, which amounted to a
goodly sum, will be added to their uni
form fund.
While many local churches held
Easter Services at the evening hour
the greatest audience was to the Third
Street M. E. Church where a very
beautiful Easter Cantata was sung by
the large chorus choir This great
service was beautiful.

developed that Jones was the man and
at first it was thought that charge of
highway robbery would be placed
against him. But Brady did not want
to file such serious charges for such
small amount of property being lost
and the charge was reduced to imper-
sonating an officer. Jones entered a
plea of guilty and was fined $50 and
costs by Judge Whitaker.
Before this warrant was read Jones
