 There was a lull, sudden blast of wind in the trees, then fresh onset of fury from the skies Flash and crash were blended in a terri flying ensemble. Sally. still clutch ing the Wreck, kept her eyes on the man beyond the campfire.
 His body swayed, his hands clasped themselves in a sudden paroXysm and there was dull agony in his eyes.

 Suddenly he crossed his arms on his knees and buried his head. He was sobbing.

 Denver went over on his back and the Wreck clutched for his throat.
 Grab his gum" he cried to Sally.
 She was scrambling toward 1t when she saw him roll off the re- cumbent figure, hitch himself into a sitting posture and begin the task of untying his feet.

Letter from Alice Hamilton Whitney
 to Lady Betty Carnovan.

to Lady Betty CarnONah'
 My dear Bettl: You will see from fhe enclosel clippings that my mar riare to Karl was a very tame event, after all. Dad is still far from well, and some things came up when made it imperative that it should take place at once. It all happened over those beastly pearl beads.
 I hate to confess it, but sometimes I think that Karl has sneakihg love for Leslie-Leslie, who always was one of those mealy-mouthed bits of mid-Yictorian sweetness, (ForgiNe me. my dear, for making an invidi- ous remark about the queen, who is probably one of your calendar eaints.)
 However, you and I are much more frank and much more inde- pendent in our thoughts. I've al- WAYS envied Leslie those pearls, and although Karl has given me two wonderful strings. had a yen for the ones he had given Leslie. Like a fool. l set myself out to get them.
 I knew what a time Leslie had and how frightened she was over an anonymous letter that was written to her about them some months aga when I was abroad, so l conceived what I thought at the time was brilliant, but what have found out since was a particularly stupid idea of writing an anonymous letter to Ieslie's husband. You see l knew that he didn't know the pearls were real
 Well. 1t kicked up an awful fuss Seems that stupid husband of hers got very jealous all at once and leslie msde dads illness an excuse te come to him. She accused me If wrttink the letter, and what s Eorse, she practically accused me

Its getting nearer every minute" {" she told the Wreck.
 'Yes; we're going to catch It."
 q only hope 1t rains, too." said Sally. The dry storms are the worst" ~.
 You bet they are." acreed the Wreck. T don't know why. but it's always so,"
 And it's always worse in the woods, on account of the trees. Why, l remember"
 The sound of her voice was swal- lowed up in a roar. Something had been struck, and not very far dis tant; they could feel tremor in the ground. Denver's head seemed to shrink behind his shoulders and for a second his eyes closed tightly. Then they opened with jerk of terror as he remembered his pris- oners.
 That was close" said Sally, in an awed tone and with meaning glance at the Wreck. I'm afraid we're going to be right in the center of it, If 1t would only rain.!"
 Well, we've got to take our chances" declared the Wreck, solemnly. What can we do?"
 Nothing" she sighed. "Only-"
 Denver was biting savagely at his hr nd hn Gno nf hand were drumming nervously on the ground.
 Does it hit much in the woods?' he asked, suddenly. There Ws a sort of emptiness in his voice.
 More than anywhere else," an- swered the Wreck. But 1t doesn't do any good to run, If it's going to get you it'll get you, as sure as a gun"
 "Im-I'm afraid Pm getting nerv- out" whimpered Sally.
 The skies fiared and detonated again and, with a little shriek, she threw her arms around the Wreck 6 neck.

 His eyes were stealthiIy watching Denver and his hand was creeping cautiously toward stick of split wood that lay near the fire.

Why Does Kathleen Act so strangely About Mollie?

With rapidly falling mental barometer, I comprehended Kath- crimes hesitation before my mother in-law's name.
 Her query should have run, Do you expect your husband home be- fore this girl goes back" and l knew she only had framed the ques- ton differently. Chinese fashion, to save my face.'
 That for my sake she viewed with apprehension 8 meeting between Diclly and a girl so young and rare ly beautiful as Molle Fawcett, was very clear to me, and the knowl- edge that anyone beside myself un- derstood the peculiar difficulty of the situation I was facing, was poignantly humiliating.
 I strove, however, to keep every trace Of my feeling out of my voice, and answered her question in most matter r-of-fact tones.
 "I haven't the slightest idea when Dicky and Mother Graham will re- turn" I said truthfully. Miss Faw- cett will stay here until Lillian sends for her, and as for the time of i Mother Graham's arrival l shall i know that only when Dicky sends a wire just before they are starting | for home. Both he and his mother are what you might term reluctant correspondents"
 Katherine laughed, although the !, faintly troubled look remained on her face.
 'I was afraid If they arrived be- fore she went home, you might need my room," she explained with the awkwardness which generally in- vests an untrue excuse. And l ought anyway-
 Katherine" I sat up abruptly, and my hands went out to her in an appeal which held actual fright. Don't leave me-nOW."
 That she understood my reluc- tance to face alone the complica- tions which might await the meet ing of Dicky and Mollie Fawcett. l knew by the sympathy that flashed into her eyes as she moved swiftly toward me, and took my hands in hers in a comforting clasp.
 Madge's Refreshing Nap
 "Of course I'll stay" she said soothingly. Tn fact, I-think-we need each other, Madge. But no more talky talk until you've had a nap"
 She put me firmly into a reclining posture again, drew the coverlet up to my chin, and left me speculating upon the meaning of the jerky words. T think we need each other"
 Had she received any disquieting news of Jack?
 I was deep in sleep long before had finished pondering the query and when I awoke the afternoon sun was gleaming through the partly closed curtains. Katherine sat by , the window, knitting, and when stirred. she laid it down and came toward me.
 "A giant refreshed!" she quoted smiling with an interrogative innec' ton,

The DE Molay play, Making Daddy
Behave" presented by the Jonesboro
Chapter DE Molay under the auspices
of the local chapter last Friday night,
was a decided success. Every seat In
the house was taken and standing

and each character fitted well into his
or her part. The gross receipts from
the play amounted to S115, Of which
the JOnesboro chapter received a half
and the Pocahontas chapter kept the
remainder.
The Rainbow girls entertained with
banquet before the play and had as

Barn Is Burned

A barn belonging to X. c. Webb, who
lives north of town on Fourche, was
burned Friday night. A quantity Of
feed and seed was destroyed, nothing
being taken from the burning structure
except the harness. The loss was
about 5000.
This is the second barn to have been
destroyed by fire in that section within
few days and the fires are believed
to have been the work of an incen-
diary. Mr. Webb says that none Of
the folks had been around the barn
for several hours and there was moth
ing in it that could have caused the
fire. He says that he will give fifty
dollars to learn the identity of the
guilty party and promises that he will
not prosecute him.

MASTEhi',H SERMON
TO RAINBOW GIRLS

A capacity audience heard the Rev.
Mr.. Gray address the Pocahontas
Chapter. Order of the Rainbow, at the
Methodist church Sunday evening.
The occasion was the second an
niversary of this order which was
founded at McAlester, Okla, just two
years ago and has developed into the
most important protege of the Ma
sonic, and more directly, the Eastern
star Order
The Rainbow girls, numbering about
twenty five, went to the services In
a body and their part in the program
was the rendition of two choruses and
a solo by Miss Mary Sue Wiley.
Mr.. Gray's address was master
piece. He found beauty in the colors
of the rainbow and practical, helpful
citizenship building in its effects. His
subject was "The Bow of Promise"
Declaring that 'The citizenship of
tomorrow depends upon the boy and
girl of today" the speaker pleaded for
better understanding between the
adult and youth; more painstaking
effort to show them through the paths
leading to good citizenship. "As the
future motherhood of America is lock-
ed up here before us tonight, the call
Of God rings in our ears to throw
around them the best protection posi-
ble."
The seven cardinal and beautiful les
sons of the Rainbow assembly are built
upon the seven colors of the rainbow.
As red, orange, yellow. green, blue,
indigo and violet combine and blend
into beautiful harmony in the rainbow
of nature, so do the virtues of love,
religion, nature, Immortality, fidelity,
patriotism and service join in charac-
ter building in the Rainbow work with
the girls.
