was no passion in their words this
morning They had got down to

what date does the twenty-year pc
riod-of the Turner's possession of the
land-expire?"
ION the ,thirtieth Of October, of this
year."
"Not very long, is It? Now you I'M
derstand that on that date they will
have had twenty years of undisputed
possession Of the land; they will have
paid taxes on 1t that long; and unless
their title is proven false between now
and that date, we can't ever drive
them OUT

her gently on the lips.
But 1t was not at all as they expect

many kisses, this little caress beneath
the pine went very straight home in

along that trail onto the feeding

to wait.
The night wind, rising somewhere In
the region Of the snow banks on the
