The talks that were given were
largely in appreciation of the friend
ship and neighborliness Of the Jen-
sens, their work in this community as
well as other places, their open house
to friends, and some of the speakers
also dwelt upon the relationship be-
tween the communities of Tyler and
AskOv, number of the first settlers

Tyler, where the Jensens also resided
for eight years as above noted Mr..
Hans P. Johansen said that he had
known his brother-in-law, Mr. Jensen,
for more than fifty years and that they
had always been staunch friends. He
said that occasionally they disagreed
but did not argue on the things they
could not agree upon. Mrs. Jensen
has been very active in the Ladies'
Aid work and at one time was presi-

The afternoon program was in
charge of Hans Clausen, Mrs. Carl

NEWS CLIPPINGS
FROM EXCHANGES
THIEVES VISIT BRAHAM
Graham JournaD

Thieves broke into the warehouse
of the Braham Oil Company, located
near the railroad depot on the right
of-way, some time during the early
hours of Wednesday morning or late
Tuesday night. They gained admis-
sion to the warehouse by forcing open
the lock. Herman Stahnke, one of
the proprietors of the local concern,
informed the Journal that large
and extra strong lock was used on
the warehouse. This lock was no.
where around yesterday morning,
when the thief discovery was made.
Possibly the thieves had used hack
saw on the lock and had thus affected
their entrance through the ware
house door.
A quantity of gas was taken but
the exact amount could not at this
time be determined.

Without argument George got
out Of the car, but he selected key
on . well-stocked ring and locked
the door Of the coupe.
Knowing that escape was impos-
sible for the time, Faith sank back
against the cushions Of the seat
and Rugged her handbag to her
breast. Once she 1umbled with
the gold clasp to open It, her pur-
pose fixed upon the bottle Of iodine
which she had taken from Fay's
medicine closet, along with the
veronal tablets and the bichloride
Of mercury. But . shudder Of dis
taste shook her. Iodine might burn
her mouth and throat horribly.
veronal would be easier, surer.
And George might come back be-
fore she was dead. Poor George!
It would be beastly Of her to involve
him in this tragedy Of hers.
It was queer how swiftly time
passed. There was George, striding
down the path with q suitcase bump
ing against his KIN .es, and q woman's
blue, fur-trimmed coat over his arm.
Dear George! He had probably
brought her enough clothes to last
for weeks, and she needed only a
hat and coat to make her escape in.
She still had no idea where she was
going

checrfully when he had unlocked
the door Of the coupe. II hope

reached obediently into the pocket
Of it for the hat, . pretty thing Of

"Why, ! gathered you had some

and you're going to tell me what
the devil this 10 all about. Come
along now, or I'll pick you up and

She submitted with sudden do
cility.
George Pruitt bundled her into
the front seat Of his maroon-col-
ored coupe and wrapped . thick
plaid blanket about her, crossing
it over her breast like a shawl and
tucking the fringeL ends about her
feet.
II suppose you've had some row
with your brother or with Cherry,
and beat it out of the house like q
hysterical fool of a woman would,
coatless and hatless in this freez-
ing weather. I'm going to take
you home," he told her grimly.
"Home =" Faith was instantly
aroused to q fighting fury. Her
hands tried to tear his from the
steering wheel. "I'm not going
home, I tell you! I'll wreck this
car If you try to take me there!"
Keep your hands off this
wheel!" George shouted. I'm moi
