ground on which II stands was orig

1907 all TIE trees th%ereabouts were full
of 17-year lOcusts. Eggs were depos-

out, dropped lightly to the ground, and

Ransom found himself shaking With
sympathy for Harold.
"And my tiny daughter" he told
her, has one tragedy after another
with her dolls. Only yesterday she
tore what she calls her very bestest
dress. Poor little soul, she certainly
needs more mothering than | seem
able to give her"
Mrs. Ainley's blue eyes were posi-
lively gllstening with tears Of sym
pathy for motherless little JOY.

"Oh! If you only would II would be
n splendid way out OF the difficulty.
DO you think you can saw through
those thick boardsT"
I'm sure ! can" Ransom said, and
decided his next heroine should have
reddish hair and that peculiarly mag
netlc smile which was being waited to
him from the window. He decided also
that he must see the smile often II he
were to describe II worthily In his
novel. "But If the boards are too aw-
fully heavy | may have to remove a
couple OF them, which would make a
gate quite big enough for grownup
people to pass through hat Is, II ]

II wns then that Mrs. Ainley chose
to blush.
IL suppose II would be much simpler
than saving them" she said.
Ransom thought swiftly. If he could
just finish Off his story late that night
he could work on the gate during the
afternoon. The story must be complet-
ed. lie sent another glance up Mt his
neighbOr and realized that the gate,
too, must be finished-it was essential
to his happiness. SO long as The fence
remained In It's present perfect dlvld-
Ing state he would fret, and If he fret
ted he could not write stories. Some.
thing gentle and lovnble about his
neighbours personality told him that
! he was going to have TO write many
stories. He seemed to sense that %
greater income was going to be most
necessary oon

won't be happy now that they have
found each other until they can play
together, and | will try to help the boy
with his tracks"
"And | will mend the bestest dress"
said his heroine.
Ransom's neck was getting n bit
crooked from continued looking up to
his ~neighbor's window. but somehow
worth getting n stiff neck over. He
felt that he must come In for more
bodily discomfort after his carpenter
ing efforts. Authors are not built fol
manual labor.
"TonIght's sun VIII set IN two gar

'aud our children wIll-be happy as the

ANOTHER DEATH

1t is with sincere regret that we an
nounce the death of Mr.. Harry A. Per-
rett.
He had been our chief linotype OPP
orator and head of our job department
for a couple of years. He was com
petent, capable and conscientious
worker, and was faithful to his duties
and punctual to his engagements.
The deceased had his trials and
troubles even greater than many of
US, and but one weakness that we dis
covered, and that was more hurtful to
himself than to others, so we have
infinite faith to believe that his soul
rests in peace, for we feel assured
that the great God of Hosts, the Gre
ator of the world, and the Father of
us all, has a tender and forgiving COM
passion for the weakness and frail-
ties of the flesh and will Judge all hui
mainly in tolerance and forbearance
Mr.. Perrett was member of the
Baptist church, and before coming to
Ocala sang in the choir and taught in
the Sunday school.
He was an indulgent husband,
loving and an affectionate parent
and kindly man.
The funeral services were canduct-
ed by the Pyles and Perkins Com
pany, and very consoling sermon
was preached by Col. r. F. Rogers,
and the body was laid to rest in
Greenwood cemetery annex.
Peace to his ashes.
