Ii seemed a long time before Brae-
mer came TO them and told them Smil-
ingly that II was all over and that the
girl was then coming from under the
effects OF the ether. She would be all
right soon, he was reasonably certain.
No, they'd better not see her just then.
But perhaps they could see her at
some time during the afternoon OF the
following day.
Dale escorted his two companions
TO a modest hotel and then put them
in q room that had but one bed; by
thus throwing them together in q
strange land, he hoped to do some
thing toward making them friends.
Then Dale went 10 another room, I'M
dressed and went 20 bed.
1t may be noted, parenthetically as
1t were, that John MOreland and Ben
Littleford quickly reached a wOrdless
agreement not to sleep together-they
divided the pillows and linens evenly,
tore the odd coverlet exactly in half,
and slept on the floor.
When Dale went down to the lobby
the following morning an alert-eyed
young fellow sprang from a chair and
hastened up To him.

claimed, as they began TO shake hands.

Guilty" smiled McLaurin. II got
word last night that a mountain girl
had beer brought to Braemer's, acct
dentally shot, and l smelled a feud: SO
l hurried over to get the story. You
had just left, and Braemer's didn't
know much about IT.. Ii was too soon
after the operation, they said, for her
to see me; then one of the nurses
whispered to me that you had brought
her, and said that l would find you here.
SO here | am, Bill, and | want the
story. I'll phone it in, and then III
give you some news"
'"The story mustn't be published,

knew, it might take a hand-you see,
l think there is Il better way TO take

opinion that the girl wouldn't like the
publicity. Suppose you forget all
about it, Bobby.
If AicLaurin was disappointed, he
kept II well to himself.
They said she was handsome, a
sort Of primitive Venus" he winEed.
"Is there a romance connected, Bill?"
Not yet" smiled Dale.
But soon?"
"WhO can tell?" Dale shrugged q
little. Tell me the news"
"All right" McLaurin drew his

Pertinent Inquiry.

The newest member OF Miss Jones'
Sunday school class was a lad whose
frankness was equal to his curiosity
In many matters.
On one occasion Miss Jones' made
q few remarks touching u%ntruthful-
ness and earnestly endeavOred to i'm
press her charges with the necessity Of
being truthful at all times and under
all circumstances.
Now the new pupil appeared to be
intensely interested in Miss Jones re-
marks, and, after due reflection, put
this query to her:
"What I'd like to know, ma'am," he
said, "is it n lie if nobody ever knows?"

HINCKLEY


April 18 will be the day for the
citizens of Hinckley township to vote
for a new school house, which we
must have. If every mother would
come to the center of Hinckley and
see the unsanitary condition the pri-
mary school is running in, they would
condemn the school. These condi-
tions are not necessary. Four years
ago the township voted to bond the
town for $4,000. Those bonds have
not been sold on account of the war.
Labor was scarce, building material
high. Now again we will try to bond
the township for $45, 700. The school
board asks every voting citizen to
come out and cast his vote for a
school house. Unless this vote is
carried there will not be high school
in Hinckley. Parents, do you want
your children educated at home? It's
up to you.
