This law provides that when the friends and patfrons subscribe $10 for this purpose, and the trustees of any school shall issue their i Iv- . warrant for a like amount from the school funds, then the State board of education will appropriate $10 as well, making a total of $30, which shall be used to purchase I w books for the library. Several of the ' schools in this county have already taken advantage of this act, and have started libraries. All should do so, and we trust they will. l Elmer, aged four, had been given a piece of shad at dinner, but after awhile his mother noticed it still on his plate.

STRONG J | i I Copyright, 2903, by T. C. McClure ! tii?HfMiiiniiiniu?it The stagecoach slowly emptied itself as the travelers reached their various destinations, until only three were left to be stranded by a breakdown at a cluster of houses called a town. Two &f them were residents of the country, ft/\fn?n4n/v <S?Am o hncinhCQ LltU^UL*_?l a ictm wuj, 11 uiij u i^ trip necessitated by the bogus sales of a bogus land agent, which had involved their property. The third traveler was a woman from a far New England town, whose whole life, up to her comely middle age, had been spent in the rush and turmoil of a monster factory. To her the wide, illimitable plain was a revelation of the vastness of God's domain, and she brooded over it in silent, dreamy contemplation. She smiled and answered pleasantly when spoken to, but bad volunteered no information concerning herself, and Lee and Bainbridge felt some curiosity as to her destination. They knew nobody in the sparsely settled region beyond who was ex u t peering company, aim ?uai uxi ocun. would be news for fifty miles around. She bad accepted the detaining accident without worry or impatience and after supper sat on the porch of the small hotel, her eyes fixed in wondering awe upon the distant mountains, beyond whose peaks streamed the glory of the setting; sun. "She looks like home," Bain bridge said, indicating her with a nod. ' She's that kind," Lee returned, with the assurance of knowledge gained by experience. He wea a married man.' 1 They lounged ou t and took a bench near her. . "Going on with the coach, ma'am?" bee ventured after awhile. "Why, yea," she replied pleasantly, rousing. "I'm going out near Wallace^ "Why, that's our postoffiee! Just a shack, you know?store and postofflce together. Are. you locating in that npiflrhborhood?" "Yes, quite near. And you are some of oar neighbor*? That's good! I seem to almost know you. I'm Almlra Burton." She laughed like a pleased child and put out her hand as she introduced herself. The men exchanged startled glances at the name, but they shook hands cordially. "I am Bob Lee; have a wife (best in the world) and four tow be ads. This is Wllsie Bainbridge, the old bachelor who lived by hiraaelf,'" Lee went on loquaciously. "I'm glad there are children near. I am going to miss ours at home so dreadfully," she said. " "Maybe they won't be what you'd call near," he laughed. "Anything1* i 'near' oat here inside of twenty miles." I "Oar quarter section is two miles 1 south of Wallace, and the agent said tbere*d be a railroad soon. I hope you're not far away." "You bought, I reckon," Balnbridge said. "Land's all been taken up round here ever so long." C "Yea. that's what the agent said; Q though it doesn't seem possible. Why, J if s Just one great ocean of land out t here. I didnt realise there was so much?and all taken. But some folks own miles, dont they?" Bainbridge nodded, and she went on wtth a deprecatory smile at her former ignorance. "Oar place seemed so big g ?a hundred and sixty acres?and that ? is big when you've never had even a j garden spot?just rooms and a tiny . mite of a dooryard!" "It does," Lee assented. "I came from that kind of a home myself? hardware clerk and wife a teacher back in Ohio. Tell you, we stretched d out here!" i Be did not say that their "stretch" t covered several miles, as he might. "We^re going to raise cattle as sooq as we get started." She seemed suddenly to feel herself among frienda and neighbors, who had a right to know the prospects and intentions of the newcomers. "We think it will be easier for Tom, and we've heard it was c more profitable than ordinary farm- o Ing." n "Tom is, maybe, your husband?" Lee ^ insinuated. ^ "Land, no?" she laughed, her plump 13 face rosy. "He's my brother?all the folks I've got I raised him, and, like me, he's been a factory worker all his life. He's married and has two little tots, so smart" 0 "Thomas EL and A. Burton?that the names you bought under?" Bainbridge queried, with a warning glance at Lee. "Why, yes; bow did you know? Oh, I expect you saw it in the agents' list d of sales." p "Yes, ma'am, and I noticed particularly because that quarter is right next to me; in fact Just into mine. Of course I felt an interest In such near neighbors." "Why, Tm real glad!" she said heartily; "real glad. I dont feel at all S as if I was going among strangers, l< meeting my neighbors this way." "Are yon going to >Mve there alone?" Lee inquired boldly. Her face clouded. "I must for awhile. I am going to hire a dugout or some n kind of shelter put up, and I want to start things as soon as I can. Tom's sickly, and he*B dreadfully run down. He couldnt be alone out here." A glow of confidence lighted her eyes, I and she continued: "We've been saving a long time to get a home out in the country somewhere.
