Benito. in whose precinct the high
way would be constructed, stated
he is willing to give Rangerville
section its full valuations in high
way construction. The suggestion
was made that Commissioner j. F.
Baughn of Harrington supplement
these valuations sufficient to COM
plete the highway, as Rangerville
is in Earlingen trade territory.
Baughn, however, expressed the view
that in the event he proposed to
use Harlingen districts funds for
that purpose he would be halted by
an injunction.
The proposition Of transferring
the Rangerville section to the Har-
lingen precinct, discussed several
by j. G. Myrick and A. l.. Brooks,
who with Finley Ewing, represented
Harlingen, Commissioner Logan
stating he would oppose transfer Of
the territory from his district. j.
G. Myrick stated the Harlingen pre-
cinct would build the highway if
the territory could be transferred.
Commissioner Logan cited that
Commissioner Bell of the Browns
Vile precinct had financed con-
struction in the Point Isabel pre-
cinct on both the Paroles Line and
Parreda-Point Isabel roads in or
der to construct highways into
Brownsville trade territory. and
urged that the Harlingen district
cooperate with him in constructing
the Rangerville road, which he stat
ed is in Harrington trade territory,
taking part Of the Harlingen city
valuations for the purpose. 1t was to
this proposal that Commissioner
Baughn replied that he doubtless
would be confronted with an in
junction if he attempted to divert
any part Of the districts pro rata
Of bond money for that purpose.
A. B. Cole stated the Harlingen
district would not convert unless
they had assurance that the road
would be built, and County Judge
O.. G. Dancy said that failure Of the
district to convert would tie up the
last two million Of the $4,000 ,0OO
road program. He expressed the
opinion that if the district would
convert now it would have the tax
payers of the county between $25,-
600 and 50,000 on the remainder of
the program.
The Harrington district also pro-
posed that in the event an agree
ment could be reached the district
would provide dreGgeS TO construct
two heavy fills on the dirt road be-
tween R~angerville and the military
road leading to the pump plant OF
the Harrington district.
The Harrington district is max
ing no demands and has made
none" A. B. Cole said. They be-
lieve the construction of the Ran
vile road would be of sufficient
value to the district to justify con-
version. 1t is immaterial to the
district what arrangement the COM
miSSionerS' court may make to fl.
nance the construction, but the dis.
trict would require assurance thai
the road would be constructed be.

checked himself and in a cold voice
said:
"You-you are an old fool"
At that moment the boy looked
out of the attic window and saw
Audrey, dressed in his workers
clothes, striding off in the direction of
the town. Without a word to old
Anton the youngster doubled down
the winding staircase and followed
the disguised Red Army comma lder.
Across the fields and down the
road leading to the town the sol
der went, followed by young Paul
who sneaked and hid and lodged so
that the Bolshevik could not observe
that he was being followed.
Eventually Audrey came to a
humble little house in the workers
section of the city. He cautiously
looked about to see that he was not
being Swallowed and lodged into the
house.
From behind telegraph pole Paul
noted the number of the house and
smiled an almost imperceptible
smile. Well, Mr.. Commander, he
thought to himself, when the White
Guards arrive you will pay for your
thievery.
Turning around he ran all the way
back to the mansion.
Inside the house Audrey was well
coined by the good comrade who babe

samovar. In reply to question An

Don't worry, comrade, our SOL

and smiled at the amber tea.
