3 Richards Bravery Won Lacy g
The Weekly Short Story-By LEETE STONE.

IN THE days of good Queen Anne
there lived a lovely peasant
maid in the village of Lanreath
which lies on the emerald bosom
of Cornwall, midway between those
gems of traditional lore, Looe and
Polperro. Her name was Lacy
and there was not a single swain
in all the community that would
not willingly have laid down his
life for her-eXcept one; the one
who loved her, perhaps, most of
all. His name was Richard. Men
smiled with a contemptuous curl
of the lips when he passed by.
He wore no sword; he was gem
tie; lover of peace; reader of
books. 1t was so he came to be
called a seeker after soft living
in day and age when the creed
of men was everlasting strife and
bloodshed.
And Lacy loved Richard; loved
him for his sensitiveness; loved
him for the romance that lived
within him, manifesting itself in
glowing words and tender, pas
sionate little verses which he would
bring her often on Bonded knee.
But Lacy, loving Richard, would
not assure him of it. Not until he
proved himself the superior of all
her bold and swashbucking suitors
in that mental province known as
bravery.
1t must be remembered that Lacy
lived in a time when to WOO and
capture a Womans love was mat
ter of mettle rather than mind.
One night Richard and Lacy
strolled in the velvet dusk on wide
Lanreath moor, faint stars above
them presaging midnight brilliance.
at is said that Greatover rode
the moor last night, Richard" Lacy
said, sudden decision forming
within her mind.
"A-ah," Richard shivered ever so
slightly. "Let us return before it
is fully dark. Perchance he will be
abroad again tonight"
"Richard Richard!" Lacy drew

and flashing first the lead horses,
then their followers, with a long,
snakelike whip.
Richard went home after Lacy's
declaration; wrote farewell SON
net to her, as he verify believed
his last hours were at hand !;
huckled on the sword he had not
worn since being instructed in its
use; mounted a white horse and
rode forth at midnight to the mid
die of Lanreath moor. There he
stationed himself and waited in the
soft blaze of moonlight.
Hardly had he paused when far
down against the dim horizon edge
he discerned a sWaying black blot
which seemed, slowly, indeed, to
grow larger and larger. His eyes
glued upon what he knew to be
the phantom approach of Great
over and his unearthly equipage.
Fear took hold of Richard and
wound itself like tight structure
around his heart. Then of sud
den, as the sepulchral vision came
closer and closer, and the staccato
thud of ghostly fee became audi
BILE, that courage which is Of the
soul rather than the muscle flood
ed Richard like a wave
"For Lacy and for Lanreath !"
he breathed, clenching and posing
the slim rapier in his hand. In the
weird light he discerned blood
streaming from the severed necks
of the six steeds; heard and saw
Greatover's maniacal laugh Wick
ed hoofs were reaching up to tear
and trample him from his mount.
1t seemed as if someone else
shouted loudly:
Halt Begone
Richard was alone in the moon
light. Greatover was gone, never to
return. All the village folk wor-
SHIPPED him and men smiled no
more, but were respectful when he
approached. And Lacy told her
children of the bravery of their
father.

rectly in his path with drawn
sword and cry Halt! Begone 2
that would Danish him forever

Richards face had whitened with
the progress of Lacy's words. Long

in a thin line:

avaricious landowner who had
lived in Lanreath long ago. He had
wasted a fortune in useless law

stretch of the moor for personal
property. From time immemorial
British mOorland had been "com-
mon' land; free to all. SO embit-
tered was Greatover by his failure
and the loss of his gold that he
weakened and died. On his death
bed he swore solemnIy that he
would return O. nights and drive

longed to own in a black coach.

MERGED GOVERNMENTS
up To THE LEGISLATURE
Members of Body from Missoula are
Backing Measure to Join
Cities and Counties

Proposed legislation now before the
assembly at Helena which has attract
ed considerable attention over Mon
tana is embodied in a measure spon-
sored by the Missoula delegation which
provides for the consolidation of city
and county governments into sim
gle municipal corporation, retains the
election of officials ON party basis.
In this it differs from the city manager
and from the city commission forms OF
government.
Assistant State Examiner A. r. Will
hanson of Missoula wrote the bill,
and while primarily designed to ac-
commodate consolidation of the
city and county of Missoula, it would
be applicable to any other county in
the state.
Consolidation has been tried in
many of the states, and most of the
larger cities and counties have com
mon government, or one nearly so.
Sponsors of consolidation list the
following in its favor:
1. Reduction of expense, which is
mounting year after year, in munich
pal government in the United States.
2. Improvement of administration
through centralizing responsibility
and simplifying and coordinating
government activities under one
head.
3. Elimination of overlapping juris-
diction, permitting one set of records
instead of two and increasing eff
cheney of the whole organization.
The plan proposed by Williamson
would establish municipal commits
sion with powers similar to both those
of the city council and the county
board.
Members of the commission would
be mayor, commissioner of public
safety and a commissioner of public
works. The mayor would be the ex-
ecutive head of the commission and
would receive a salary of $4,000 a
year, while each of the other COM
missioners would receive a $4,000
salary. The plan could be adopted only
by the people through a special cleo
tiou

Legislative Hi-Lights

The house committee on agricul-
ture is seeking an act to regulate and
license the sale of commercial fer
tilizers and provide for the inspection
of fertilizing materials.
Those who are promoting the wom-
ans jury bill believe they have ma
iorities for it, both in senate and in
the house. This bill has made its APP
pearance in most of the recent legis-
lative sessions.
Sale of spectacles, eyeglasses or
lenses for correction of vision by
others than licensed physicians or OPP
tometrists will be unlawful if a bill
offered by Representative Meyer of
Silver Bow becomes law.
The senate passed the house joint
memorials asking congress to provide
protection against oleomargarine i'm
portations and funds for construction
of storage reservoirs or tributaries
of the Mississippi as means of aiding
flood control and relieving unemploy-
ment.
A bill submitted to the house for
the maintainence ofstate institutions
for the next biennium provides the
following: State prison S193,411, deaf
and blind school, $152,290 orphans
home, $90,105; industrial school, $685.
511; vocational school for girls, $685.
500; state insane hospital, $685., 900;
tuberculosis sanitarium, $4,000, and
the soldiers home, $41,847.
Montana schools were pictured as
being invaded by followers of com
munism during lively debating in the
house over a proposal to require teach
ers to take oath of allegiance to state
and federal constitutions. Brown of
Gallatin, sponsor of the bill requiring
oaths, explained in committee of the
whole that it's purpose was to halt
what he said was the spread of COM
munism in the state. The measure is
indorsed by the D. A. r.
A change in the manner of secur-
ing license plates for motor vehicles
is the object of one of the measures
introduced in the house. It would
provide for filing application for
plates with the county treasurer and
payment of the fee to that official
The registrar of motor vehicles at
the state prison, who now takes care
of all phases of the work, would mere
ly send out the plates. Sponsors of
the plan contend it would enable
earlier use of the fees for road build
ing than under the present system.
Although majority highway COM
mittee report against it was submit
ted, the house bill seeking repeal of
refund provisions in the Scent gaso-
line tax law and providing for the
giving of affidavits when tax-exempt
gasoline is purchased was saved
through adoption of the majority re-
port to have the measure printed.
Punishment for persons voicing or
printing statements directly or indi-
rectly dergatory to banks and an in
crease in the penalty for robbery are
among the aims of six measures the
senate banks and banking committee
has drafted.
House bill 4S, which extends the
eight-hour day to mills, shelters,
gravel pits, building construction
and public institutions, has been in
the house since the first week Of
the session, but each time it has ap-
peared it has been sent back to some
committee for further consideration.
