full horse jogging along and pulling
heavy feet out of the snOwdrifts.
AS they neared Bayside the drifts
grew more and more difficult to pene-
trate, and at last Bob, feeling more
like an explorer than a mad lover in a
civilized community, decided that he
would have to leave the cutter behind
him and try the remainder of the trip
on the back of the horse.
Almost blinded, he managed to re-
move the harness, all but the bride,
and to climb on the back of the
horse. At last they turned into
the street on which Helen Moore
lived. 1t was after O'Clock and there
was not soul in sight. Bob had been
hours making a trip he could have
made in twenty-five minutes under
different circumstances.
He was almost shamefaced as he
rode under the big porch and holding
onto the lines, dismounted and began
to stamp the snow from his boots.
Immediately porch light was
turned on and face appeared in the
window. 1t was the face of Helen's
father. He opened the door,
Bob Trimmer-are you mad" he
asked.
Mr.. Moore looked at the horse then
back into BOb's scarlet face Helen"
he called. Then he burst out laugh
ing. 'Well, well; this is regular NOV
ing picture lOvemaking, Bob. But
where can we put the horse"
"In the garage" ventured Bob.
"Oh-Bob Trimmer" cried Helen,
entering the doorway and seeing the
picture outside. "How-Where-
why"
Never mind about that now, my
DEAR" said her father. Lets get him
in and have his steed attended to.
You can Experimentation later"
After they were comfortably seated
by the big log fire and Bob had been
fed as If he were an invalid and petted
as if he were an actor of heroic drama,
Helen ventured to ask him why he at
tempted such trip on such night.
II knew you had an engagement
with Snyder. I figured he would not
be able to come and-I saw my chance.
I have been discouraged about you-
Helen. I was about to give up when
the blizzard, together with a remark
Of friend about men often playing
their best games after they were APP
parently beaten-gave me my cue. l
decided to prove to you how nearly I
shall try always to overcome any OBJ
stacle in order to be with you-to have
you for my own always. dear"
Helen reached out her hand and put
it in his You did not need to do this,
Bob, to make me believe it. You need
ed only ordinary courage, and you had
failed to have even that of late. l
was beginning to be afraid you did not
care Tiff Fred stepped into your
| place"
IF you could have seen me strug-
Cling for my very existence up on West
Alley road between the cutter and the
back of old Dixie the horse, you would
never have doubted me, dear During
that few minutes I learned that you
are dearer to me than anything else
in the world-that you are-my world.
I love you"
Helen could not reply In words.

Bowbells Man Accused
OF Shooting Neighbours
Horse. Must Face Trial

Bowbells, N. d., Nov. 5.-Onc OF
the cases TO come before the ad-
journed session OF the district court
here Tuesday is hat Of the state VS..
John Sloan Of Minnesota township
for the alleged shooting Of horses be-.
longing to l.. F. HAdwin, a neighbor.
1t is said that MI. Hadwin's stock had
been running loose on several occa-
sions and that when they came into
Mr.. Sloan's field he took 8, shotgun
and shot them insthe faces. The ami
mails were badly wounded. their heads
imbedded with. d great number of the
bulletssfsssA warrant was issued for
Sloan's arrest. e
It has been reported that MI. Had
wins connection with politics in his
township in the last campaign caused
the two neighbors to become quite
bitter enemies and that perhaps this
might nave had something to do with
the shooting. but Sloan holds that this
had nothing to do with the affair.
Since the state law makes it per-
missable for stock to run in the open
after November l., it is thought the
state will have a strong case.

THE PAPER FIRST

The man who subscribes and pays
for a newspaper-and everybody who
pretends to be anybody does so these
days-spends more money each year
on that newspaper than he does on
any other printed item. He spends
more for a paper than magazine be-
cause it's worth more to him. If it
cost him ten times as much he would
still buy it, and if the price was
placed beyond his means he would
find some excuse for borrowing it
from his neighbor. He would have
it, because without it he is at a dis
advantage with his neighbor and COM
petitor. He wouldn't know what was
going on if he didn't have it, and he
would be left standing still while his
neighbor and everyone around him
kept moving on. When medium like
the hometown paper is so close to
the hearts of the people, when 1t is SO
vital to them, is it any wonder that
the columns of that paper are such
an important place in which to adver
tise? Is it any wonder that news
paper advertising brings big return!
in good season or bad? Ask yourself
Mr.. Tallulah man-and come in ant
tell US your verdict.

BOYTIME AGAIN

Eoyhood in and around Tallulah
has broken out of its winter shell,
and the time when more energy Is
spent in finding last years top and
marbles than Columbus spent in find
ing America is with US. We are glad
of il. because it makes US fellows who
can't be boys again proud of the fact
that we once had the opportunity and
that we made the most Of it. We
glory in their enthusiasm as they be-
gin practicing up on their curves and
whiting out their kite sticks; as they
track up the newly scrubbed floors IN
their search for fishing hook and a
line and leave their school books
where Mother will have to put them
away so they can be found again next
fall. This is boytime-the time when
being a boy strikes US as being about
the best occupation in the world, and
! when nothing but hard work and a
lot of it keeps US older ones from
sitting down right where we are and
cursing fate that we can't always re-
main a boy. We're glad it's boytime
because it makes better men OF US b!
reminding US of those innocent day.
when this was the grandest season Of
the entire yer.
