teens. It was with no little degree of
surprise that young Miss Milton re-
ceived the announcement at hor home
In Mrglnla that she was the heir to a
cmal,, tract of land l„ the Ozark
mountain country.
The months stretched into years dur-
ing tho time thut the little place had
no tenant, and the space that Ralph
Sanders had cleared there in tho forest
became a wild jumble of young pine,
sassafras and harnhoo. And before
long the low house that he had built
was completely hidden from the river.
Meanwhile Grace Milton was grow-
ing up In the society of her surround-
ings, forgetful of the little wilderness
that was passing from her possession
because of unpaid taxes.
Spring had come again find Virgil
Ferris, one of tho boys who had
romped over the place, now a stalwart
man, began clearing away the young
I growth, little thinking that this vers
net would restore to him the sweet-
heart with whom he had quarreled.
About this timo Grace Milton was
seeking vainly for some refuge, some
place where the memory of her bitter
words would cease to burn like a hoi
Iron in her soul. For she too had quar-
reled with the man whom she loved,
and all because he refused to have his
wife Independent of him n.id his for-
tune, while she desired independence
for the sake of maintaining her so-
called "woman's rights."
She had sought forget fulness In suf-
frage meetings, in society. In charities,
church work and travel. But the pain
at her heart grew and would not bo
eased. Then a solitary camping and
trumping trip to her Ozark estate,
which had long been a source of mer-
riment among her friends, suggested it-
self.

LOOK! LOOK!!
You will be interested in the new tires we
have received from the Firestone factory.
We want you to see them.
We also want you to examine the cross section
—note the thick thread, heavy cushion stock, strong
breaker strip—proper fit of bead to rim—and the other
features which make this tire remarkably staunch
and strong.
The&e cross sections will show you just how a
tire is made. You can see the material that is in the
tires we have here in stock.
The line is complete—it includes everything
from a 37 x 5" Super Cord to a 30 x 3" fabric tire.
We have or can quickly get for you any size and any
type of Firestone equipment—red or grey sidewall.
Yes—we want you to see these tires and the

After she alighted from the train In
Hie village of Itnnkle she learned, by
dint of much questioning of the sleepy
agent, that the Sanders estate was
"\jhere ye see them young pine sap-
lln's, that's it. About a mile down th'
river."
Many paths crossed and recrossed
among tho slender trees, but nono of
them seemed to lend auywhere. She
was about to despair of ever finding
tho log cabin, of which she had hoard
little and spoken much, when she heard
a sigh—almost a sol)—not far away.
Holding her breath and listening, fear-
ing she knew not what, she heard a
mail's voice, deep and rich and all un-
trained, singing an old ballad. He was
evidently using an as, for now she
heard the even blows on a log. A girl's
form darted down one of the paths nnd,
without thinking, Grace followed. She
halted when she came In view of the
young man swinging the fix, for the
girl was running toward him now,
frankly crying. Grace stepped back
among the trees, but still within ear-
shot.
The man exclaimed, "Oh, yon!" Then
no more was said until the girl's voice
broke out:
".Tack! Jnck! I'm so sorry I ever
•aid I wouldn't marry you nnd be a
farmer's wife. I will, I will: but why
have you begun planting here? Don t
yon know how you always said it was
a sort of fairy place and Its owner a
fairy far away, who didn't want It dis-
turbed?"
"Yes, I know," said the mnn, "but I
Just decided thnt fixing up the old log
house and seeding the cleared ground
wouldn't be disturbing even a fairy's
plnce; nnd anyway, I'm doing it for the

"Who owns it now?" asked the girl.
"I do," came tho answer. "It was
•old for taxes two months ago nnd I
bought it in for us."
The girl laughed softly. How did
you know—" ,, ,

Hon. Clarence E. Giimore of

lie will be a candidate for Rail-
m.id Commissioned of Texas at
the next primary election, in
•I uly of next year.
Last year, when Railroad Com-
missioner Win, I). Williams died,
Mr. Giimore announced his can
didar-y to fill ouc the unexpired
term, The State Democratic
executive committee, at tho in-
stance of the then Gov. Fergu-
son, undertook to nominate Chas,
H. Hurdleston, whom Ferguson
had appointed as manager of the
St ito Railroad.
The supreme court ruled that
the committee had no right to
make a nomination, but, before
this ruling was made, the bal-
lots in nearly all the counties had
been printed with Hurdleston's
name thereon as the Democratic
nominee
Of German Birth;
Sets Good Example
The sale of the second Liberty
Bond issuo closes tomorrow
night. Almost every man in
this community can afford to buy
a bond, which can be purchased
for as Pin ill an amount as $50.
The most a man can do in this
war is to fight; the least he can
do is to buy a Liberty Bond,
j You can buy those bonds
; through any bank. Remember
that tho bonds pay interest and
that, when you buv a bond you
| are not only doing a patriotic
act, bull you are investing in
some' hg that is as safe as money
! itself.

can citizen of Ge: man birth, is
the largest individual purchaser
at Mesquite of the second is-
sue of Liberty Honda so far.

Valuable War Dogs.
Tho duties of dogs In war are va-
ried. Some are trained for dispatch
bearing; others show a greater apti-
tude for patrol duty, while others
make excellent ambulance dogs. Be-
tides these there ere search dogs,
watch dogs, post dogs, draft dogs, etc.
• The dispatch bearers keep two bod-
ies of soldiers In touch with each oth-
er. Messages are put in small pouches
that are secured carefully to a collar
about the dog's neck. Very frequently
these animals are compelled to make
trips under heavy shell Are. They are
dogs of bravery and daring, and there
Is more thau one case on record when
