Deborah Elkins saw trouble ahead.
She slowed the pace of her roadster
as she approached the car beside the
road and stopped when a tall figure
planted itself squarely in front OF
her.
Now, what in the world does he
want with me?" she asked herself.
Il can't help him and I won't give
him a ride-eyen If he is a bit good

she exclaimed gently.
He stripped of his coat. It's a
case Of putting on your spare, and
here gocsl'
lie laid his coat in the seat. Her
eyes caught the CLINT Of a legal-lOok-
ing envelope, and a wild plan leaped
into being. Cautiously she drew out
the envelope, extracted the contents,
and replaced II and sat innOcently
back.
1.-TWO at the same game she
thought with delight.
Once more he took his seat, first
glancing at the pocket to make sure
his envelope was there, and the event

Her thoughts were a little mixed.
What he would do or what he would
not do or what he would say or wheth-
er he would be terribly angry when he
discovered the loss Of the papers
were questions she could not answer (;
but she discovered herself hoping that
he would not be too angry.
Under the guidance Of his capable
hands the car rapidly covered the re-
naming miles. and he came to the
goal Of his effort-the entrance to the
Elkins home. He mounted the steps
trlumphantly.
IF you will wait. | viii be glad

said grayely.
"This is my home" she said
sweetly.
He staggered and caught himself,

jaw set. 81 am sorry ii should be

Then he went in.
The sound Of voices reached her
through the open door, her fathers
deep laughter loudest. Then the
would-be process serve came out,
and she skipped In.
When she returned, her holdup mar
was far down the road swinging with
steady strides downward. She slid
%hurriedly into her car, pressed the
throttle, and soon caught up with him,
He turned a smiling face, and II

ANOTHER LEAF HAS FALLEN
(By c. 7. Rawalt.)

On November IL, 1922, at ten a. M,
the death angel hovered over the res
idence of Mrs. Elizabeth A. Price,
and noting gorgeous autumn leaf,
his ebon pinion gently touched it, and
one of the many Gunnison county
pioneers futtered lightly down to the
ground from which she sprung 76
years ago. The winter was here and
a tired, weary heart demanded rest
Suddenly, without apparent pain, the
great experience came to her. Busy
with her household duties she stepped
across to what we believe are better,
more ample and loyelier fields of ex-
istence.
Elizabeth A. Frazier was born in
Moline, Illinois, March 81, 1896 OF
her early life nothing is known to the
writer. but in 1880, at Beloit, Kansas,
she was married to S. j. Price, and
later they removed to this county.
They were pioneers in Irwin and re-
sided in this county for forty-two
years.
Two daughters were born to them,
the younger, Mrs. Joseph Carson,
passed on nineteen years ago, and the
elder, Mrs. Ruby Corum survives to
mourn the passing of a well loved
mother. Mr.. Price preceded his wife
by seventeen years to the other side
Mrs. Price was a member of the
Methodist Ladies' Aid, and president
of that society for ten years. She was
also Past Worthy Matron of the East
ern Star and a member of the w. R.
c. Her life was spent in industrious
effort to make the world better and
happier. In all good works she was
known
On Wednesday from the Commu-
nifty church, Revs. Ferris and Jones
officiating, the funeral was conducted,
an extremely large concourse of old
friends being present. Rev. ]. S.
Ferris delivered most beautiful trib-
ute to the deceased in a touching and
yet comforting address which went
as far as words can go to assuage the
grief of the relatives. The floral Of
ferings were profuse, bespeaking the
regard for the memory of this splen-
did woman held by all her friends.
A quartette composed of E. G..
Palmer, H. H. Fogg, Mrs. Lawson, and
Mrs. Rutland sang Abide With Me,
Lead Kindly Light, Asleep in Jesus,
and Nearer My God to Thee.
The pail bearers were Jack An
drews, Z. NJ Nourse, E. r. Williams,
Paul Boyles, Clyde Martin, and Fred
Mckee, all old time acquaintance
and friends of the deceased.

ITO every man upon this earth,

ITO every man upon this earth,
Death ccmeth soon or late"
Alwa, we grieve when the angel
calls but we know not how ,..uch bet
ter it may be for those who pass on.
rhose left must tear the sorrow, and
f them the hearts of all throb in
$. mpat' y.
Certainly it is true that for those
who have lived worthy lives and have
given freely of their forces to making
life ees'er and better for others the
ange in exis.eYce is as natural as
heir birth and probably best de-
scribed as new birth into eternal
life.
This good woman's passing reminds
US very forcibly 6 T the falling Of a
leaf that has rendered all the service
it could during the full season of its
life, and falls only in the regular
course of nature, as must we all fall
sooner or later"
May those left who followed her to
the cemetery be as well prepared and
as able to say My work is DONE"

A GOOD WORD FOR HIM

Hans Schmidt was reputed to be
TIE meanest man in the neighbor-
hood. He died. His body was placed
in the grave, and according to an
old Pennsylvania custom the people
stood around the open grave, wait
ing for someone to say some good
things about the deceased before fill
ing the grave. After long wait
Gustave Schulz said: "Well, I can say
joost one good thing about Hans; he
wasn't always as mean as he was
sometimes"

House on fire! Get out quick!" The
