I don’t marry her?’’
“I've said my say,” said Uncle Moses
grimly. Then one day Blake had gone
over to see the Barstows and so im-
pressed was he by their evident pov-
erty and shabby gentility that he paid
assiduous court to pretty, dark-eyed
Barbara, the youngest of the flock of
five girls.
He found it easier to love Barbara
than he expected and one day they
became engaged.
Blake believed that when they were
married Barbara would give up climb-
ing trees after birds’ nests, or scaling
fences and fishing, or any other of the
boyish sports in which she indulged.
But their wedding day came and went
and Barbara did not lose her love for
the woods and fields.
Blake admitted that his household
affairs were administered with great
system—all the Barstow girls were
famous housekeepers.
Uncle Moses gave them a handsome
present and promptly neglected St.
Johns.
Blake did not care for his own sake,

being made to get Oklahoma City to

A Traveling Men’s parade is expect-
ed , to feature •Saturday, Traveling
Monk Day, although all arrangements
have not been made for this event.
Many traveling men will be here, but
whether they will take part in an in-
divid lal parade has not been decided.
The best bands in the state, and one
outside of the state, are being’engaged
for the parades. A committee is ex-
pected to go to the San Francisco ex-
position for one of the famous bands
there. If successful they will have se-
cured a band that has played to thou-
sands since the exposition opened.
A parade will feature every day of
No-Tsu-Oh week in Houston. Some
will lead in splendor and gayety, and
others in exemplifying the agricul-
tural and economical advantages of
South and Southeast Texas, but all
will be beautiful.
Experts are designing the gigantic
floats that will pass through the
streets ’midst the cheers of thousands
and the music and melody of many
bands.
The agricultural parade will repre-
sent twenty-five counties surrounding
cided hit. The floats are being con-
structed along precise lines in order
that they may portray with no exag-
geration, yet adequately, events in the
making of the State of Texas that are
dear to its natives.
The flower parade is probably the
most gorgeous of any. Hundreds of
dolla s are spent each season in rich
decorations. A variety of coloring in
pape ' flowers and streamers combined
with skillful designing always makes
this pageant among the most attrac-
tive f the week. K. TEET

Barbara was very pale when she
went into the house, after seeing
Aunt Prissy drive off in her ancient
phaeton. She donned her riding
clothes and went out to the stable aft-
er Ponto.
For several hours she rode like a
mad woman, up hill and down dale,
and when Blake, returning from town
in his little motor car, met her at
the crossroads, she looked like a
small scared brownie.
“What is the matter, Barbara?” he
asked, alarmed at her appearance.
“Nothing! I'll race you to the
gate,” she challenged. So Ponto and
the runabout sped briskly along the
road until they reached home.
Before dinner, Blake seeking his
wife, found her curled on the rug be-
fore the library fire. All the dainty
little ringlets were inviting his lips, so
he coolly knelt beside her and kissed
