KATE WRITES TO ALICE

Justin Parsons was looking at the
trunk which had been put on the We
randall the night before, when Kate
appeared in the door the next morn
ing.
"Where did this come from,
Katie?" he asked.
Games Latham and I brought it
last night, father Sc said, and then
after a long silence, added: ut be-
longed to Dan"
Looks as if it might have done
considerable travelling" Justin eX-
amined the batterd baggage while he
talked
Kate didn't answer. There was
nothing for her to say. She and
the trunk were strangers. That part
of his life which the trunk represent
ed Dan had never shared with her.
She wondered vaguely as she
watched her father, if Alice had
known something of that. Perhaps,
she thought, perhaps Alice had
known more of his leisure hours
than she.
The idea grew on Kate. She be-
came jealous-jealous of something
which couldn't exist in the present
and which was only a possibility of
the past. Her answers to Justin's
attempts at conversation were short,
preoccupied. Her whole thought
was conferred on Alice. She must
see the girl. She must have it out
with her. She must know whether
she were in spirit the widow Of Dan
Ward or whether the thing had
amounted to mere legality.
At length she sat down at her
desk, composed a note, sealed it, then
set out for the village postoff;ce =.
As she dropped the letter in the
box she glanced at it and smiled
whimsically. 1t was addressed to
Miss Alice, in care Sing 10y"
Kate smiled on her way home.
She even ventured to think of James
Latham. She had decided Upon a.
course. She was quite happy, for
her mind could be at rest, at least
until an answer to the note came.
She wondered whether Latham
would make any attempt to see her
IN the future. They had parted in
a not quite friendly spirit. he had
broken a promise and she had moi
been indulgent with it.

it should not be allowed to go by

MIGHT HAVE BEEN
WRITTEN ABOUT SUMTER.

What Editor Shytle has said in
his Abel News, might just as well
have been said of our own coun-
ty, Sumter. The big idea is to put
loafing lands to work. Hear what
he says:
New citizens are constantly
moving into Cook county and a
warm welcome is extended to all
who will cast their lot with us to
one common end, the upbuilding
52f the county along all proper
Ines. This county offers untold
opportunities. 1t is pooled with the
bes sort of folks and there is
room for many more. When all
the counties of this section are
developed as they should be, it will
bios som as it has not before. We
have too much idle land"
And maybe, few idle blows
that should have their 'iron noses"
ln the ground every day.
