THE BOOK OF MARTHA
BY JANE LoRIMER

Little Good Is it o-Discuss the Past
When a Lovers Quarrel Is Done.
Perhaps the pressure of my arms
and my hot kisses, or perhaps the
elemental pull OF an exhaustless
love reached. far down into my
husbands consciousness. Bob open
ed his eyes: they were glazed with
the look OF the sleep-walker. I
kissed him again and again, and
slowly the dream-1ook faded from
them, and Bob beheld me, and the
recognition of me eased his soul.
He sighed and then slumped soft
ly, letting me hold up his weight
as II in one impulsive moment he
threw himself-all that he was and
whatever he was-upon my, heart
aud upon my patience and upon my
forgiveness.
II withdrew my face to the dis
lance at which he could see 1t
best, and smiled and smiled as IL l
were a bride again, smiled also with
the courage of the devoted and ex-
perienced wife. ~
IL was determined that I would
fill up my husbands mind, hat no
image other thai mine should seize
upon his imagination, no other idea
than. that Of me should take hold
of his consciousness when he be-
came completely normal.
I heard Daddy Lorimer breathe
hard as one does who waits in sus-
pense for the end Of a drama and

the room, and we two. % and /.
were alone-alone together once
more-with the world shut away
from us, and forgetful of time and
of space.
Il kept on smiling. just waiting
and smiling, afraid to move, afraid
to speak, lest I shatter my beauti-
full hope. Bob spoke frst-a single
syllable:

beloved" I murmured, and
dared say no more although my
heart was beating tempestuously
to the refrain 81 love you. dear, 1
love you'll" And my lips were quiv-
ering to find his. I stifled the tenn
nest Of emotion which ragged within
me and lowered Bob gently down
upon his pillow. He sighed and
whispered: .
"Jane! I'm tired. I've had a bad
dream-the trenches"
I put a finger upon his lips and
closed his eyes, but not to sleep.
NV cheek found his. 1t was the
mildest Of caresses. but to me who
had starved for any caress from
him for weeks, it was symbollical
of the perfect harmony we had re-
gained.

At a meeting held at Anamoose last
week attended by farmers and a few
fair-minded business men. a motion to
take up a collection to raise $43.7O to
reimburse the taxpayers of Anamoose
for their share of taxes that 60 to-
wards putting the state Industrial pro-
gram into operation, was passed
unanimously.
This action of the meeting was taken
as a result Of the false propaganda
carried on by certain interests in that
town for the purpose of creating the
impression that the high taxes this
year are caused by the Nonpartisan
League program.
The meeting was called to discuss
the tax situation. Data presented
showed that the entire village Of
Anamoose last year had been assessed
a total Of $43.D as a result Of the in
dustrial program. 1t was also proven
by a study of the tax records of the
county that local and county levies are
the real cause of the present high
taxes. ..
