All the guessing has been taken out

they are using a formula like this
"One ring, he likes me.

For the triple friendship, courtship,

Dealers who are selling the triple
ring explain that when a young man
admires q girl, he gives her the first
band simply as a token of his friend
ship. Then if he succumbs to the
young lady's boast that she is, if
she does say it, a good cook, he buys
a second band. When he is led to
the altar to promise to obey, he pro-
duces the third ring-love's third de-
gree.
Perhaps the idea for the triple-band
ring came from the old adagc, zone

Nora Lee Feels Dane Is
Neglecting Her
Purposely. :
CHAPTER XVI

Nora Lee sat with her
hands tightly folded, her
eyes shooting fire toward the
back Of her husbands head.
On this night when she hung
cred for companionship-for
sweet, soothing words-of
course this would be the
very night he must choose to
ignore her!
She waned to blaze out at him
"Put down that pencil, Dane Herricl !,
I'm here! Your wife! I'll not be
snubbed like this. I suppose it's no
concern Of yours if my heart is break
ing".
These thoughts made such a clamor
in her head that even the room
clashed with her indignation. She had
sense of outrage because her son
was so utterly lost in sleep and her
husband plunged completely in his
own pursuits. She could have wept,
being so left alone.
Then she began to wonder if he
would soon call her over and ask for
suggcstions-if he would show her the
swift. indefinite sketches. Perhaps
not. He didn't do that very much now
She didn't even know what he was
working on. In the months when she
was so wrapped in her child he had
ceased to bother her with questions.
She recalled with a wounded resent
ment that he no longer brought home
the plans for her perusal; nor the
magazines that interested him. Lying
on the bookshelf were a dusty, I'M
opened pile of these.
Well-what Of it if she had neg
lected this interest? She had a soul
to build what is the building OF
a house compared to that?
Sitting here now she didn't trace
the cause of her agitation. She only
knew that Ida Burnett's gloomy rant.

EXPRESS COMPANY
TO ADJUST RATES

The express company will adjust
rates between San Antonio and Schu-

Freight Bureau.
The revision of these rates is with
the purpose of allowing San Antonio
shippers to compete to that point
with Houston shippers.
The present rates from San Antonio
to SchulcnberS are much higher than
rates from Houston, and this fact
does not enable San Antonio shippers
to compete on an equal basis with
Houston merchants.

REFUSES TO GO,

But the unsatisified within of fate-s
life decree that he should suffer-,
overlooked the creature of the alleys
just as he had tasted happiness fog
the first time.
The Harrisons were not prepared
to keep a dog. Efforts were made ID
drive the stranger from their homes
He would not go. {
The dog catcher was summoned. A
rope was slipped about the strangers
neck, and the leash was tied securely
to the front porch. Then his captors
brought him food and drink, and left
him to wait for morning-and thu
dog catcher. 4,
Into the creatures haunted mind
there came a sense of danger-ha
knew what it meant to be tied. The
food before him seemed too much liks
the feast served to a doomed prisoneH
while the hangman's moose is waiting.
The dog pound, dreaded Siberia II
dogdom, doomed as his certain fate
There had been at least freedom in
the alleys - freedom that let hin4
drift, like a tramp, from shadow ID
shadow where he could hide.
When night came and he could NOT
even stink away to hide from thu
things that others had-homes, good
beds to sleep on, friends-the nooss
Of his rope seemed like the hand oE
fate around his throat, strar cling.
He thought of the kindness he had
found, and lost. He thought of the
hunger and the bleakness of the ale
leys, and Of the dog pound, with its
herded prisoners waiting for redemps
ton or death. And he knew THAI
there would be no one TO claim him
joyfully, from the dog catcher-nd
one TO take him home.
1t was a long way from the end OF
the leash to the ground. Long enough
to strange the life from a hanging
body. And so, the phantom of the all
leys. with no one TO tell goodbye
stepped off into space.

1898 CARS IN 1924.

The spinach acreage this year, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hunter, is located
about rs follows: Asherton, 1000
acres; points on the S. A. & U. u.
railway, 5000 acres; Eagle Pass, 600
acres; Rio Grande Valley, 1000
acres; Robstown, 1000 acres; Whar-
ton, 500 acres; Austin. 1000 acres
other stations on the I.-G. n. rail
way, 1000 acres, and other scattered
points, 1900 acres.
From the Texas spinach acreage
last year a total of 1888 cars were
shipped to market. OF this amount
1903 cars were shipped from Zavalla
county, all but three of them clearing
out of Crystal City.
Although few small shipments
of the greens were made as early rs
November %. the crop actually did
not start moving until the middle Of
December.
The average production last year,
according to Mr.. Hunter, was about
21O bushel baskets per acre. Farmers
of the state who marketed their crops
in the East and North made an aver
age net profit of from 80 to &C cents
per basket.
An accurate forecast as to the
number of acres planted in cabbage
this year is not yet available, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hunter. 1t Is thought
to be considerably larger than last
year, however, when a total Of $3.50
acres were planted.
The cabbage crop begins moving in
January and reaches its peak IN
March. Early crops from some Sec
lions of the state, however, will be-
gin coming in during November, Mr..
Hunter said.
