 ''Very we'll. dear. said Andrew calm iy, T think myself that when these little misunderstanding come up the very best thing that can be done is to drop the whole matter Matrimony is a state in which we must bear and for bear I will forget the little matter of vour deceit and will forbear mentioning it again; and now that it is all for gotten come kiss me and the matter will be over.

Andrew said Imogene, where were you last Tuesday night?"
 "Er, femme see. Last Tuesday night? Now, let me think" He knitted his brows in seeming perplexity which changed to anxiety. ''Why. I told you when I came home where I was"
 'Where was it?' asked Imogene.
 Do you mean that you doubt me2' said Andrew in an abused tone.
 Not at all" said Imogene calmly. 'i believe you were there, but where was it?"
 Now, look here" said Andrew plain lively. you know love you and you know I always want to believe what you say You know there is nothing in the world that pains me more than to think you are trying to deceive me. But honey, when you tell me that you be- leve me, that you think I am telling the truth and then. still insist that tell you where I was last Tuesday night, cannot help but believe that you are trying to deceive me. Now no family can be happy where deceit is practiced. and I want you to promise me that no matter what you do. no matter if you know I will be displeasef. no matter if you know your act is one which I will disapprove of. that you will not attempt the least deceit.

ALBANY WOMAN SHOT, BUT IS NOT
 SERIOUSLY WOUNDED

Albany, July 30.-- (Special.) )-Sarah Williams, pretty young white woman, who was shot Thursday afternoon by a relative of Will Hudson, who was shot Wednesday by the woman, is not se- riously injured. Both shooting affrays occurred in the Ellis store. just across the street from the woman's residence on East Markett street.
 According to F, M Ellis, owner of the store. two Hudson boys. Charlie and Clarence came by the store Thurs day afternoon and inquired where the Williams woman lived. She came in at that moment and was engaged in conversation with the men. who seemed friendly enough. MT. Ellis said. Sud- denly one is said to have grabbed the woman by the throat. She dropped her gun, which she is alleged to have been carrying in a paper box. The other Hudson is claimed to have picked the gun up and shot the owner. Mir. Ellis said he did not know which did the shooting.
 At a late hour today neither of the Hudsons had been arrested although warrants were said to have been is- sued in Albany charging them with disturbing the peace. Will Hudson to- day was transferred to the Benevolent hospital, where his condition was re- ported unchanged.

take that cheerful view of matters. Because they couldn't account for the strange disappearance of Peter and Mrs. Peter in any other way they were sure that something dreadful had hap pened to them, and they sat about and gossiped and guessed all sorts of dread said the incest things about Peter and Mrs Peter, things they never would have thought of saying to them had they been present.
 Peter and little Mrs. Peter couldn't help overhearing it all. and it made their hearts glow. They wanted to rush out and tell these friends that they were alive and safe and how happy they were to know that they were so loved But they didn't. They thought of their secret, those six precious babies, and all the worries that woud follow, as soon as that secret was known, and kept still.
 As evening approached their friends departed sorrowfully. and. at last, they had the dear Old Briar patch to them selves. Then they came out. "It is funny" said Peter thoughtfully, "how most people never think to say nice things about another until they think he is dead I wonder if they will take back all those nice things they said about us when they find we are alive"

If it was Tuesday night that we went to the theatre, then it was Wednesday night we had the meeting and vice versa. Out of that very simple matter you have placed me in the position of having been dishonorable, ill-tempered and everything else, and you have not even answered my question:
 Pardon me, love, l misunderstood you" He beamed on her Tt was Wednesday night we were at the thea tre, so your missionary society meet ing must have been Tuesday night. It was Tuesday night l was out"
 Well what made you make all that disturbance?" complained Imogene.

By THORNTON w. PURGE:

Sammy Jay wasted no time in spread ing the news that the dear Old Brlar- patch was deserted. At first no one would believe him. But Sammy insist ed it was so. He told how he had visited the dear Old Briar-patch that very day and failed to find a trace or Peter Rabbit or little Mrs, Peter ana he stated it as his opinion that some thing dreadful had happened to them
 Of course, right away everybody Who could hastened to visit the dear olo Briar-patch. They wanted to see for themselves that Sammy had told the truth. There was regular procession of visitors all the rest of that oay. Peter and little Mrs. Peter, with ths six babies, remained in that old house of Johnny Chuck's grandfather. dug long ago, in the middle of the old Briar-patch; so, of course, no one saw them. The babies slept and Peter and Mrs. Peter listened to the gossip which they couldn't very well help hearing
 "i declare" said Carol the Meadow Lark, T just can't believe that we will never see Peter Rabbit again. The Green Meadows will never seem the same without him. 1 don't know or any one I would miss more.

 '.Dee. dee, dee! Perhaps nothing dreadful has happened after all" cried Tommy Tit the Chickadee cheerily. Perhaps they've just gone-visiting, or perhaps. they have moved up to the Old Pasture.

Royalty Claims
of Warren Bros.
Total $l35,OOO

The right of the Warren Brothers
company to collect royalties on patent
paving used by Oskar Huber in state
highway construction interests the
state highway department to the ex-
tent of not less than s1s5, goo, accord
ing to Roy A. Klein. secretary of the
state highway commission here. This
figure is based on a minimum price Of
ten cents per squar yard ON which basis
the Warren Brothers company at one
time offered to compromise their roy
atty claim against the state.
The actual figure, however. in the
event the courts should find the COM
pany entitled to a royalty would de-
pend upon the price set by the court,
II is explained. As nigh as IN enI, awe
cents per square yard has been collect
ed on patented paving laid in some
towns in this state.
A total of approximately 1850, $50
square yards of paving in which the
Warren Brothers patent is involved,
has been laid on state highways since
the legislature of 1919 instructed the
department to reject all claims for roy.
atty of the patent was definitely estab-
lished by the courts.
In order to protect the state the
highway department has reserved the
right in all contracts for the attorney
g%eneralto intervene in any suit brought
against a contractor on state work.

contest in this district Tuesday norm

treasurer, file as a candidate for the

sentative. Kay who has had several
