HOLIDAY TAKEN BY
MANY BUSINESSES
Easter Monday Day Off
Had by Majority of
Establishments

A full holiday was taken by most
business establishments in Henderson
today for the Easter Monday occasion.
Railroad offices, the drug stores,
restaurants and the like, together
with the post office, were open and
operating as usual, but all other con-
Germs took the day off, including the
city and county offices.
Easter Monday was like Easter
Sunday so far as the weather man
was concerned. Both days were fair,
with a high wind blowing from the
north, making it SO chilly outdoors
that overcoats were necessary. There
was slight moderation today from
Sunday, however.

moment there were houses along the road,
and the next moment they were in the middle
of the farm lands, with the hot wind beating
at them across the prairies, and the wheat
riffling green and yellow to its touch Far off
on rise of pasture land, some cattle grazed
and horse kicked up dust as his spirits got
too much for him.
Gosh, but it's good to be back, )" Jim cried,
as his eyes swept the horizon. "It's beautiful,
isn't it, Millie?" He brought her small white
hand to rest beneath his big brown one.
Millie had no answer. Her profile cut
small, sharp silhouette against the glaring
sun. Its boiling hot" she remarked with
touch of petulance. I'm about dying for
bath"
Harriet remembered with dismay that
since the drought all the water in the house
had been turned off except in the kitchen.
Her eyes sought John Dawson's. He shrugged
in understanding, and said aloud "The wells
low, we got to go a little easy on our baths ="
Jim turned in his seat and frowned. "Is
the drought really bad?"

The white clapboard one s the house, put
in Harriet, eagerly. In that moment she saw
it as Mile must be seeing it after the sordid
midsummer ugliness of the city. Flanked by
its six towering elms it stood like an island of
security and peace amid sea of golden
plenty. She knew, in feeting ecstasy, the
vicarious joy of being Jims new wife, and
coming home to all this beauty.
1t looks small, Millie merely said, with a
trace of disappointment. "I'd sort of expected

''Oh, take her away!"
cried Mile, as the big dog
leapt upon her, in frantic
welcome.
"She won't hurt you,"
said Jim. Look, she only
wants to love you - Down,
girl! Give your paw to
Mile nicely!"
The collie subsided and
held out her paw. Millie
shrank back, brushing at the
streaks she had left upon her
blue silk dress. Take her

Harriet ached for the
crestfallen look that came
into Jim's face. Gee" he
said, in the grieved way of a
child, "You don't have to
be afraid of Sal, Millie; she's
my dog. I've had her since

"I'll take her with me-"
offered Harriet quickly.
She started off on a run,
with Sally after her. 1t was
good to escape, good to be
alone. If only she could lock
herself away, and give vent
to the bursting agony in her
breast! But there was too

All through supper it was as if there was a
storm brewing. 1t might have come from in
side the house, or it might have been in the air
outside. Joseph kept turning in his chair to
peer out of the window until John Dawson's
nerves broke into protest. There's not going
