 I'll get even with him-if it takes twenty years I'll have it out with Mark Dawson :"
 The owner of Hillside farm spoke the words vengefully. His fist was clenched, his face distorted, and youth, prosperity and the possession of broad, fruitful acres seemed to have no force to subdue his angry mood.
 If l may make a suggestion" ob- served his insinuating companion, Lawyer Dole, Il don't think I'd make my life miserable over a trifle. Why, what more do you want than what you've got, Tom Lacey? The favored heir of old Peter Babson married to the handsomeSt girl in the district-"

When that handsome wife of mine, as you call her, gets in her tan trums, and 1 realize what I've lost, it about sets me wild. Here Dawson has settled down right under my nose, fairly Haunting his success in winning Leila"
 Il reckon it was the only place he had to settle down in, Lacey. The girl liked him best, and naturally married him. They're poor as church mice."
 "Ill drive the Dawsons out of the neighborhood v muttered Lacey darkly.
 For young man with fairly grow ing prospects in life, Tom Lacey was in an unthankful and dangerous mood He had nursed his one grievance till 1t began to tinge everything he did with somber and tragic gloom. He and Mark were cousins. They had both courted pretty Leila Dallas. Ger tainly the little lady had given Tom no cause to suppose she favored him. When she married the man of her choice, however, Tom felt bitterly wronged. He refused to even notice the happy pair.
 Old Peter left Tom the big home farm and some comfortable invest ments. To the surprise of everybody. all tbat Mark was awarded was the

TRUE PROGRESS

The way to advance, in a commun- ity, is to afford higher degtee of mental training to the average boy and the average girl. This can be done only through a good system of schools. A community can progress no faster and no further than the average citizen. We hope to build in Nevada county, a school system in the rural districts that will make edu- cation there general and efficient, and then shall we see progress in all other worthy lines of human effort.
 A leading educator recently said: Education for the masses is the only solution to higher and a better citi- zenship. It is little more than idle to attempt progres by any path save that which leads through the school How can we expect to achieve eco homie independence, social improve ment, and freedom of effort until we have first given to every child in the community the mental equipment necessary to cope with life as it is today?"
 When the community can offer general education to all her citizens, then it will not be long until your fields will be better cultivated, your homes more attractive, your churches more inspiring, and your thrift more pronounced. But let your schools fall short, and you will behold a dis nal society, clogged and stagnant.
 Never before have so many boys and girls in the rural communities been crying aloud for education, and woe betide that man who does not lend helping hand to the removal of their greatest stumbling block an inadequate school system.

 It was evening tide, and husband and wife sat on a bench under the old apple tree.

 Mark tried not to think hard of dead Uncle Peter. Still, he had reason to expect better share in the estate than he mad received. More than once that relative had shown him a small tin box filled with a great heap of storedup banknotes, with his own name scratched upon the box.
 ''The snow is too deep to work in the woods today" said Mark to Leila one bleak wintry morning. q believe I'll tackle the old apple tree"
