Ray Clarke paced up and down the
floor and wondered how he could have
been so happy-so free from nervous
ness for so long a time.
He hated the great beauty Of the
outside world. When he heard people
wishing each other Merry Christmas
he almost hated their smiles and their
cheerful voices.
How deeply he loved Lillian. She
was worth all the Christmas presents
In the worldl OF course. There were
no two ways about that
And the doctor had said with such
genial, merry twinkle in his eyes !:
well, I fancy the young son and
heir will be Christmas present from
the missus to you y
He had laughed at the time, and
Lillian had blushed and smiled and
laughed, too. The doctor was such
friendly old soul-he had been the
doctor when Lillian had been born.
And he was fine, too.
But perhaps he counted too much on
Lillian's strength. Ray had been sent
out Of the room and he had been alone
here now for so long.
At first he had been so full Of high
spirits. But the delay had been so
strange. They hadn't told him there
would be any such delay. They had
simply sent him out of the room and
had said that everything was all right,
and that they'd come and tell him
soon to be back to see his child.
He would go upstairs. He couldn't
stand this another moment. And 1t
was so quiet. BE had fancied It

Ray said in husky voice.
She wanted it to be that way
the doctor said. Still he was smiling.
How could he smile at such q time7
How hard and inhuman doctors be-
came.

said. .She wanted me, I know.

kept me from her. You wouldn't let
me go to her and sheshe wanted

my dear Ray, just a minute" the
doctor said, but Ray had rushed past
him and was in his Wife's room. Tears
were in his eyes.
Oh, he'd never forgive himself that
he had consented to do what the doc
tor had told him to when suddenly
he noticed that Lillian was looking at
him, her eyes wide open, smiling hap
pity.

would not be quiet. Then he heard
strange shrill voice.
How curiously 1t sounded. Was
that Lillian. She must be very i'll to
have voice sound so curiously. He
never heard 1t like that.
They couldn't keep him from her.
She would want him, too. OF course
she would!
He hurriedly ran up the stairs. The
doctor was at the top Of the stairs.

Of people and significant Of the star

money for the poor from the crowds

youths down to splendid meal. This
Is very. great institution In many

he heard shouting across streets, wish

Now and again the wind blew loud
~, but not shrilly nor harsh1y nor
with wailing sound. The wind, too,
seemed to be Quivering with happi-
ness. All Of nature had joined to-
gether to be as beautiful, as radiant,
In honor of the day as possible.
The hills were covered with snow.
The branches Of the trees were laden

from corners Of houses, and windows

The shrubs, too, were covered with

How tense and long seemed the wait.

Vernon Parish Democrat., 1921-12-01
LIFE SENTENCES FOR
TWO MURDERERS

The two murder cases which were
tried last week, at the Vernon Parish
Court House before Hon. Mr.. Justice
John H. Boone, of the Twelfth Judicial
District, have both resulted in convic-
tions, and verdicts were rendered by
the respective juries, condemning the
defendants to Imprisonment for life,
capital punishment being deemed not
sufficiently severe for the atrocious
crimes of which the two men were
found guilty. So, Dave Brister, who
killed John Davis and Otto Wright,
butchering them with an axe, and the
negro Thomas Weingert, who murdered
another negro, will, unless pardoned
spend the rest of their lives behind
prison bars.
Lonnie Fletcher, who had been in
dicted for an alleged attempt at rape,
was honorably acquitted by the jury
before whom he had been tried.
Charles Crenshaw who pleaded quill
ty to an Indictment for larcery, was
discharged with sentence suspended,
this having been his first offence.
The courts next term will be held
in January 1922.

STILL TIME TO PAY POLL TAX

Citizens who failed to pay their pol.
taxes for 1920 and 1921, will be per-
mitted to vote next year if they step up
to the little window in the partition al
the office Of Sheriff Turner in the Lees
vile Courthouse and pay before the
year 1921 passes down the ete1nity's
river. After January lst, 1872, poll
taxes for the last two years will not be
accepted and those who failed TO SET

The second week Of the conference.
at Washington on the limitation Of arm
ament shows a disposition to increase
rather than decrease defenses. So long
as the object of the social order re-
mains the same-profits-it is hopeless
to think that contending interests Of the
world would throw away means Of de-
fense and offense. AT best, the tax
payers of the world can only expect a
slight reduction in taxes for armament.
The conference reminds one Of
few large, enterprising stores in a city.
competing with one another. They
find they are paying too much to keep
up business in advertising, salesmen,
etc. They meet and agree to do away
with a lot of unnessary expense and
each is better equipped to go forth and
shear the public.
