CHAPTER XI—Continued.
—14—
It did look horrible, from above as
v^ell as below. But Jerry, when he felt
the first light twinge as Connie lifted
the rope, foresaw what was coming
and was ready for it. As he went down,
he grabbed a firm hold on the branch
on which he had sfbod, then he drop-
ped to the next, and held again. On
the lowest limb he really clung for
fifteen seconds, and took in his bear-
ings. Connie had dropped the rope
when the twins screamed, so he had
nothing more to fear from her. He saw
Prudence, white, with wild eyes, both
arms stretched out toward him.
"O. K., Prue," he called, and then he
dropped. He landed on his feet, a lit-
tle jolted, but none the worse for his
fall.
He ran at once to Prudence. "I'm
all right," he cried, really alarmed by
the white horror in her face. "Pru-
dence ! Prudence!" Then her arms
dropped, and with a brave but feeble
smile, she swayed a little. Jerry took
her in his arms. "Sweetheart!" he
whispered. "Little sweetheart! Do—
do you love me so much, ctafcrest?"
Phidence raised her hands to his
face, and looked intensely into his
eyes, all the sweet loving soul of her
shining in her own. And Jerry kissed
her.
The twins scrambled down from the
roapie, speechless and cold with terror,
and saw Prudence and Jerry! Then
they st"- Connie, staring at them with
interest and amusement.
"I think we'd better go to bed, all
three of us," declared Lark sturdily.
And they set off heroically around the
house. Eut at the corner Carol
turned.
"Take my advice and go into the
woodshed," she called, "for all the Av-
erys are looking out of their windows."
Prudence did not hear, but he drew
her swiftly to the darkest corner of the
side porch—and history repeated it-
self once more!
At twelve, Jerry went upstairs to
bed, his lips tingling with the fervent
tenderness of her parting kiss. He
stood at his windpw, looking soberly
out into the moonlit parsonage yard.
"She is an angel, a pure, sweet, unself-
ish little angel," he whispered, and his
voice was broken, and his eyes were
wet, "and she is going to be my wife!
Oh, God, teach me how to be' good to
her, and help me make her as happy as
she deserves."
At two o'clock, thinking again the
soft shy words she had whispered to
him, he dropped lightly asleep and
dreamed of her. With the first pale
streaks of daylight stealing into his
room he awoke. It was after four
O'clock. A little later—just a few min-
utes later—he heard a light tap on his
door. It came again, and he bounded
out of bed.
"Prudence! Is anything wrong?"
"Hush, Jerry, not so loud!" And
what a strange and weary voice. "Come
downstairs, will you? I want to tell
you something. I'll wait at the foot
of the stairs. Be quiet—do not wake
father and the girls. Will you be down
soon?"
"In two minutes!"
And in two minutes he was down,
agonizingly anxious, knowing that
something was wrong. Prudence was
waiting for him, and as he reached
the bottom step she clutched his hands
desperately.
"Jerry," she whispered. "I—forgive
me—I honestly— Oh, I didn't think
what I was saying last night. You were
so dear, and I was so happy, and for
a while I really believed we could
belong to each other. But I can't, you
know. I've promised papa and the
girls a dozen times that I would never
marry. Don't you see how it is? I
must take it back."
Jerry Smiled a little, it must be ad-
mitted. This was so like his consci-
entious little Prudence!
"Dearest," he said gently. "You love
me. Your father would never allow
you to sacrifice yourself like that. The
girls would not hear of it They want
you to be happy. And you can't be
happy without me, can you?"
Suddenly she crushed close to him.
**Oh, Jerry," she sobbed, "I will never
be happy again, I know. But—it is
right for me to stay here and be the
mother in the parsonage. It is wicked
of me to want you more than all of
them. Don't you see it is? They
haven't any mother. They haven't
anyone but me. Of course, they would
not allow it, but they will riot know
anything about it. I must do it my-
self. And father especially must
never know. I want you to go away
this morning before breakfast and
—never come again."
She clung to him as she said this,
btit her voice did not falter. "And you
must not write to me any more. For,
ob, Jerry, if I see you again I can
never let you go, I know it Will you
do this fr- me?"
**You are ne' vous and excited," he
Mid tenderly. "Let's wait until after
breakfast. Then well talk it all over
with your father, and it shall be as he
•ays. Won't that be better?"
-OIL so. For lather will say what-
ever he thinks will make me happy. He
must not know a thing about it. Prom-
ise, Jerry, that you will never tell him
one word."
"I promise, of course, Prudence. I
will let you tell him."
But she shook her head. "He will
never know. Oh, Jerry! I can't bear
to think of never seeing you again,
and never getting letters from you, and
it seems to kill me inside, just the
thought of it"
"Sit here in my lap. Put your head
on my shoulder, like that. Let me rub
your face a little. You're feverish. You
are sick. Go to bed, won't you, sweet-
heart? We can settle this later on."
"You must go right away, or I can-
not let you go at all!"
"Do you mean you want me to get
my things and go right now?"
"Yes." She buried her face in his
shoulder. "If—if you stay in your
room until breakfast time I will lock
you in, so you cannot leave me again.
I know it I am crazy today."
"Don't you think you owe me some-
thing, as well as your father and sis-
ters? Didn't God bring us together,
and make us love each other? Don't
you think he intended us for each oth-
er? Do you wish you had never met
me?"
"Jerry!"
"Then, sweetheart, be reasonable.
Your father loved your mother, and
married her. That is God's plan for all
of us. You have been a wonderfully
brave and sweet daughter and sister,
I know. But surely Fairy is old enough
to take your place now."
"Fairy's going to be a professor, and
—the girls do not mind her very well.
And she isn't as much comfort to fa-
ther as I am. It's just because I am
most like mother, you see. But any-
how, I promised. I can't leave them."
"Whenever You Send, I Will Come."
"Your father expects you to marry,
and to marry me. I told him about it
myself, long ago. And he was perfect-
ly willing. He didn't say a word
against it."
"Of course he wouldn't That's just
like father. But still, I promised. And
what would the girls say if I should
go back on them? They have trusted
me, always. If I fail them, will they
ever trust anybody else? If you love
me, Jerry, please go, and stay away."
But her arm tightened about his neck.
"I'll wait here until you get your
things, and we can—say goodby. And
don't forget your promise."
"Oh, very well, Prudence," he an-
swered, half irritably, "if you insist
on ordering me away from the house
like this, I can only go. But—"
"Let's not talk any more about it,
Jerry. Please. I'll wait until you come
down."
When he came down a little later,
with his suitcase, his face was white
and strained.
She put her arms around his neck.
"Jerry," she whispered. "I want to tell
you that I love you so much that—I
could go away with you, and never see
any of them any more, or papa, or the
parsonage, and still feel rich, if I just
had you ! You—everything in me seems
to be all yours. I—love you."
Her tremulous lips were pressed
against his.
"Oh, sweetheart this is folly, all
folly. But I can't make you see it. It
is wrong, it is wickedly wrong, but—"
"But I am all they have, Jerry, and—
I promised."
"Whenever you want me, Prudence,
Just send. I'll never change. I'll al-
ways be just the same. God intended
you for me, I know, and—I'll be wait-
ing."
"Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" she whispered
passionately, sobbing, quivering in his
arms. It was he who drew away.
"Good-by, sweetheart," he said quiet-
ly, great pity in his heart for the girl
who in her desire to do right was doing
such horrible wrong. "Good-by, sweet-
heart. Remember, I will be waiting.
Whenever you send, I will come."
He stepped outside, and closed the
door. Prudence stood motionless, her
hands clenched, until she could no
longer hear his footsteps. Then she
dropped on the floor, and lay there,
face downward, until she heard Fairy
moving in her room upstairs. Then she
went into the kitchen and built the fire
for breakfast.
CHAPTER XII.
She Comes to Grief.
Fairy was one of those buoyant,
warm-blooded girls to whom sleep is
indeed the great restorer. Now she
stood in the kitchen door, tall, cheeks
glowing, eyes sparkling, and smiled at
her sister's solemn back.
"You are the little mousey, Prue,"
she said, in her full rich voice. "I
didn't hear you come to bed last night
and I didn't hear you getting out this
mprning. Why, what is the matter?"
For Prudence had turned her face to-
ward her sister, and it was so white
and so unnatural that Fairy was
shocked.
"Prudence! You are sick! Go to
bed and let me get breakfast. Here,
get out of this, and I will—"
"There's nothing the matter with me.
I had a headache, and did not sleep,
but I am all right now. Are the girls
up yet?"
Fairy eyed her suspiciously. "Jerry
is out unusually early, too, isn't he?
His door is open."
"Jerry has gone, Fairy." Prudence's
back was presented to view once more,
and Prudence was stirring the oatmeal
with vicious energy. "He left early
this morning—I suppose he is half-way
to Des Moines by now."
"Oh!" Fairy's voice was noncom-
mittal. "When is he coming back?"
"He isn't coming back. Please
hurry, Fairy, and call the others. The
oatmeal is ready."
Fairy went soberly up the stairs,,
ostensibly to call her sisters.
"Girls," she began, carefully closing
the door of their room behind her.
"Jerry has gone, and isn't coming back
any more. And for goodness' sake,
don't keep asking questions about it
Just eat your breakfast as usual, and
have a little tact."
"A lovers' quarrel," suggested Lark,
her eyes glittered greedily.
"Nothing of the sort. And don't keep
staring at Prue, either. And do not
keep talking about Jerry all the time.
You mind me, or I will tell papa."
"That's funny," said Carol thought-
fully. "We saw them kissing each other
like mad in the back yard last night—
and this morning he has gone to return
no more. They are crazy."
"Kissing! In the back yard! What
are you talking about?'
Carol explained, and Fairy looked
still more thoughtful and perturbed.
She opened the door, and called out
to them in a loud and breezy voice:
"Hurry, girls, for breakfast Is ready,
and there's no time to waste in a par-
sonage on Sunday morning." Then she
added in a whisper, "And don't you
mention Jerry, and don't ask Prudence
what makes her so pale, or you'll catch
it!"
\
Then she went to her father's door.
"Breakfast Is ready, p pa," she called
clearly. She turned the knob softly,
and peeped in. "May I come in a min-
ute?" Standing close beside him, she
told him all she knew of what had hap-
pened!
"Prudence is ghastly, father, just
ghastly. And she can't talk about it
yet, so be careful what you say, will
you?"
And it was due to Fairy's kindly ad-
monitions that the parsonage family
took the departure of Jerry so calmly.
That was the beginning of Prudence's
bitter winter, when the brightest sun-
shine was cheerless and dreary, and
when even the laughter of her sisters
smote harshly upon her ears. She tried
to be as always, but in her eyes the
wounded look lingered, and her face
grew so pale and thin that her father
and Fairy, anxiously watching, were
filled with grave concern. She re-
mained almost constantly in the par-
sonage, reading very little, sitting most
of her leisure time staring out the win-
dows.
Fairy had tried to win her confi-
dence, and had failed.
"You are a "arling, Fairy, but I real-
ly do not want to talk about it. Oh,
no, indeed, it is all my own fault. I
told him to go, and not come again.
No, you are wrong, Fairy, I do not re-
gret it. I do not want him to come any
more."
Mr. Starr, too, had tried. "Prudence,"
lie said gently, "you know very often
men do things that to women seem
wrong and wicked. And maybe they
are! But men and women are differ-
ent by nature, my dear, and we must j
remember that. I have satisfied myself
that Jerry is good, and clean, and man-
ly. I do not think you should let any
foolishness of his in the past come be-
tween you now."

The thing next in beauty to a tree
in full leaf is a tree bare; its every
exquisiteness of shape revealed, and
its hold on the sky seeming so un-
speakably assured; and, more than
the beautiful of shape and the outlin-

ecy and promise which every slender
twig bears and reveals in its tiny gray
buds.—Helen Hunt Jackson.
MANY IMPORTANT MEASURES,
CARRYING APPROPRIATIONS,
PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES.
TO INCREASE RANGER FORCE
The Texas Ranger Bill, Carrying An
Appropriation of $250,000, Was
Passed in Senate—Other
Legislation.
"Baby Talk" Rebuked.
"Jack, look at the nice bow-wow,"
said a mother to her three-year-old
Ion, oui for a walk, Jack looked as
directed, then up at his mother, and
said solemnly, "I call that a dog^*
Austin, Tex.—The ranger bill, carry-
ing $250,000, was passed in the senate
Monday and the ranger force will be
increased.
The Bee textbook bill, as amended
by the senate, was favorably reported
Monday by the house committee on
education with corrective amendments.
Finally passage of the miscellaneous
appropriation bill, the salary, the
emergency appropriation and the rang-
er bill, and numerous other bills of
lesser importance marked a busy day
in the house. The four important bills
had been set for special order and
were given final passage under sus-
pension of the rules.
A number of amendments to the
miscellaneous bills were adopted and
the bill as amended carries ^>624,054.16
for 1918 and $305,541 for 1919.
An amendment appropriating $3,000
for marking the old king's highway
with granite posts was killed by being
postponed indefinitely. A message
from the governor was read, asking
for this appropriation, which would
have completed a desired amount of
$5,000 for the purpose, the Daughters
of the American Revolution having
already raised $2,000.
By a vote of 42 to 71 the house de-
feated an amendment striking out an
appropriation of $100,000 to pay all ac-
crued fees of county witnesses in fel-
ony cases, -as provided for by an act
of the thirty-third legislature. An-
other amendment cutting from the
bill an appropriation of $116,150 for
expenses and fees of district judges,
attorney, sheriff and other court of-
ficers was likewise defeated.
Final passage was given to the
emergency appropriation bill, carrying
$146,132.
An amendment by Mr. Peyton, cut-
ting out the $40,000 appropriation for
the maintenance of the ranger force
from April to August, 1917, was de-
feated.
Mr. Woods of Navarro ordered an
amendment to the ranger bill, cutting
down the appropriation from $250,000
to $150,00t), but it was defeated and
the bill passed finally.
Both the senate "poor man's bank
bills," known as the Morris plan bank
and the leprosorium bill, were en-
grossed, but the latter was amended,
reducing the appropriation for the
lepers' home from $100,000, as passed
by the senate, to $25,000.
Austin, Tex.—Both branches set a
new record for speed when a bill was
passed before noon Saturday creating
a state council of defense, after a mes-
sage had been received from the gov-
ernor recommending such legislation.
The bill was passed in the house first
and then taken up and passed in the
senate. It authorizes the governor to
name such a council, to consist of for-
ty men from the various industries
and vocations of the state, to co-op-
erate with the national council for de-
fense, and to take steps for the organ-
ization of the state's industrial, eco-
nomic and military resources for de-
fense. An appropriation of $10,000 for
the first year and $15,000 for the sec-
ond year, to cover expenses, was made.
Members of the council are to receive
no salary or per diem, but may re-
ceive reasonable traveling expenses.
The senate took up and passed with
a viva voce vote, and without discus-
sion, the Bee textbook bill as amend-
ed Friday.
The bill by Mr. Oayton, contemplat-
ing compulsory military training in
all the public free schools of the state,
including the "University of Texas and
state normal schools, was killed on a
point of order by Mr. Bailey that the
matter of no such legislation had been
submitted in any message from the
governor, and that it could not be
considered.
The senate passed the university
budget without change and the A. and
M. College budget with the addition
of an item of $2,000 for each year for
salaries and traveling expenses of
local foul brood inspectors for the
agronomy division.
Mr. Page's bill, making it illegal for
anyone not a bona fide member of
some branch of military service to
wear the regulation uniform, was pass-
ed finally.
The senate passed a number of local
bills before adjournment, including the
Dalton independent school district in
Ellis county.
Legislation Filed by Governor.
Austin, Tex.—Governor Ferguson
Saturday filed in the office of the sec-
retary of state without his signature
the senate concurrent resolution re-
questing the Texas delegation in the
national congress to support a bill to
prohibit the use of food and feedstuffs
in the manufacture of intoxicating li-
quors.
Senate bill No. 13 providing for ap-
pointment of officers of the Texas Na-
tional Guard and prescribing their |
qualification and tenure of office was I
approved by the governor. j
The house engrossed the peniten-
tiary bill Saturday after adopting two
amendments by Mr. Woods of Navar-
ro. The first amendment reduces
from $175,000 to $125,000 the amount
which may be kept on hand subject
to check by the penitentiary commis-
sion. The second amendment majses
it necessary for "first offenders" to
be taken only to the Huntsville pris-
on, and there be subjected to mental
and physical examinations.
The house engrossed the ranger bill,
of which Senator Hudspeth is the au-
thor. This bill appropriates $250,000
for raising and equipping a ranger
force. Corrective committee amend-
ments were adopted. An amendment
establishing certain personal qualifi-
cations for officers in the ranger force
was defeated. The house then re-
fused to suspend the constitutional
rules in order to pass the bill finally.
Section 1 of the bill shows that the
rangers are primarily for border pro-
tection, but may be used for "other
lawlessness," reading as follows: That
the governor be and he is hereby au-
thorized to organize a force to be
known as the ranger home guard, for
the purpose of protecting the frontier
against marauding and thieving par-
ties and other lawlessness, or any in-
vasion by any foreign foe or alien
enemy.
Austin, Tex.—Working with a bare
majority of two votes, opponents of
text book legislation at this session
of the legislature practically rewrote
the Bee textbook bill in the senate
Friday, changing the bill in many es-
sentials. After twenty-five amend-
ments had been adopted, the bill was
engrossed by a viva voce vote, but an
effort to suspend the rule to permit
the final passage of the bill failed and
it went over until Saturday.
Many important changes were made
in the bill as originally drawn. The
first was an amendment by Mr. Buch-
anan of Scurry, making it compulsory
with the commission to extend pres-
ent contracts where the publishers are
willing, the period of extension to be
not less than one year from date of
expiration, nor more than six years,
the length of time within these limits
to be discretionary with the commis-
sion.
The bill extends adoptions to all
high school textbooks, the commission
to make the high school adoption in
1918.
Mr. Strickland's amendment, revis-
ing the method of choosing the com-
mission, was offered, after adoption
of the Buchanan amendment.
A motion to table the Strickland
amendment revising the manner of se-
lecting the commission failed, 13 to 11,
and the amendment was adopted by a
viva voce vote.
An amendment by Mr. Henderson
providing that at least two members
of the commission shall be women,
was adopted, 16 to 9.
Mr. Caldwell offered an amendment
to the bill as amended by the Strick-
land amendment, adding the presi-
dents of the University of Texas and
the A. and M. College to the nominat-
ing board. It was adopted.
An amendment by Mr. Dean provid-
ing that books must be sold in Texas
as cheaply as in any other state was
adopted.
Mr. Hudspeth's amendment was
adopted, more clearly specifying that
adoptions shall be made for high
schools, and prohibiting the use of
unadopted books in high schools. High
school adoptions have never before
been made.
The last important amendment was
Mr. Lattimore's reducing the number
of names to be submitted to the gov-
ernor by the nominating committee to
fifteen. A motion to table failed by
the tie vote of 12 to 12, and the amend-
ment was adopted, 13 to 11.
After a number of corrective
amendments had been adopted the bill
was engrossed.
The amendment increases the sal-
aries of the chairman of the indus-
trial board from $3,600 to $4,000; that
of the secretary of the board from
$2,000 to $2,500 a year, and those of
the other two members of the board
from $2,500 to $3,000 per annum.
An amendment by Mr. Thomson
of Nacogdoches raising the salary of
the superintendent of public instruc-
tion from $3,000 to $3,800 was adopt-
ed, 70 to 49.
The house defeated without discus-
sion Mr. Clark's amendment raising
the salary of the commissioner of ag-
riculture from $3,000 to $4,000 per an-
num, the vote being 36 to 81.
Mr. Clark's other amendment, lower-
ing the compensation of the manager
of the warehouse and marketing de-
partment from $3,600 to $3,000 was
defeated by a vote of 55 to 59.
By a vote of 72 to 40 the house pass-
ed the salary bill to engrossment.
With only two dissenting votes the
house passed finally Harley's senate
bill appropriating $750,000 for the
support of the state military forces.
The house Friday took a long step
towards finishing all important pend-
ing business before the present ses-
sion draws to a close by passing to
engrossment the bill making appro-
priations for all state departments and
fixing the salaries of state officers.
Austin, Tex.—In order to expedite
disposition of the appropriation bills
in the few remaining days of the spe-
cial session, the senate I hursday
amended its rules by adopting Mr.
Henderson's resolution limiting de-
bate. The original resolution sought
to limit all debate on any one item to
ten minutes, five for and five against,
but an amendment was adopted giving
each member a right to speak for five
minutes on any item.
Operating under the new rule, the
senate then succeeded in disposing of
the entire eleemosynary appropriation
bill.

vigor and ambition.
Your druggist or dealer sells you a
50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone

HAS NEVER
BEEN NERVOUS
Since Taking Cardui, and Does
Not Now Suffer Any Pain
Writes Georgia Lady.
Trenton, Ga.—Mrs. Ella Glfford, of
this place, writes: "I have always suf-
fered from painful . . . but was
worse after marriage. I would have
. . . pains and fbisery in my stotnach
and hips. I would have a bad sick
headache every time, which would gen-
erally last two days. I had always
heard what a good medicine Cardui
was, so I thought I would try it I
used two bottles and it helped me.
"Fifteen months later I began to be
nervous and was worse at my . . .
But at these times I did not have any
pain and do not now suffer any pain.
But I was very nervous, so nervous
that my hands would shake. Any noise
would make me jump. So I took two
more bottles of Cardui. I have never
been nervous since . . . and do not
have any pain. I think this is all due
to Cardui and Black-Draught."
Cardui, the woman's tonic, is com-
posed only of pure, vegetable ingredi-
ents, which have been recognized for
many years by standard medical books ;
as of great medicinal value.
With a wonderful record of over 40
years to its credit, Cardui has proven
its merits in the treatment of ailments
peculiar to women.
If you are weak and nervous, and,
need a good, reliable, female tonic, try
Cardui. At any drug store.—Adv.

"Give me a small bottle of freezone.*
This will cost very little but will 4
positively remove every hard or
corn or callus from one's feet.
A few drops of this new ether
pound applied directly upon „
aching corn relieves the soreness ia-
stantly, and soon the entire corn
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid one's feet at
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating
surrounding skin.
