A presumptuous youug coxcomb
Does lie thiuU that Ills moncj gives
him a right to make love to Charlotte
Pearson
But father
I tell you theres nothing more to bo
Bald stormed the colouel
Charlottes slender ilgure stiffened
The brown eyes lamed with n defiance
very like the colonels own
He has a right to demand justice
she Insisted There are nothing but
the best accounts of him on every bide
Tot just because of that old grudge
against his father you forbid him the
house
And I shall sec to it that he stays
out Presumptuous young Jacka-
napes Interrupted the colonel explo-
sively
But I love him
Love him The colonel looked as
if he would burst
Charlottes cheeks were flushed her
eyes were very brlsht And I intend
to marry him she finished as the
heavy portiere fell behind her
The colonel glared lmpotontly at the
unoffending yellow curtain then
plunging his hands into his pockets
stalked up and down the room boiling
with wrath
As the deep tones of the town clock
struck 12 a motor car tore along the
road at high speed It was a red car
I
THE OLD MAN CLIMBKU INTO THE WAIT
ISO AUTO
and In the brilliant moonlight that
made the night as clear as day its oc-
cupants were plainly visible a girl in
a long loose automobile coat and a
man who drove the machine with des-
perate haste his eyes steadfastly on
the road except when he turned to re-
gard his companion with rapturous de-
light
Charlotte had been in earnest She
loved her bluff choleric father but he
should have known It was impossible
to forbid a daughter of two and twen-
ty to uiarry a nfan of Irreproachable
diameter who was able and anxious to
marry her
It is so daring she had objected
Yes but there Is no other way and
I love you so Osborne pleaded and
the look in bis eyes had melted Char-
lottes last lingering scruple
The machine whirled alongat a reck-
less pace spinning along the smootb
hard road taking the hills with UI7V
Intrepidity
What if something should happen V
suggested Charlotte nervously ns they
breasted a long slope and turning ab
xuptly dipped suddenly down a dan
gerous descent
Robert Osborne seized the lever of
the hand brake and jammed it on
Something Is going to happen he re-
turned blissfully His eyes watchful
and alert were on the road before liini
but his voice left nothing to be desired
I didnt mean that ad Clnrlotte
with a radiant smile I meant
As they swung around a curve at a
desperate pace and struck a bit of
level road Osborne let out the ma-
chine another notch and Charlottes
voice trailed Into silence ns the car
gave a iilcl Jump and tore along the
firm lcel surface
Whateer jou mean it wont make
any difference tcir The motor beat
n onlliitiuiis auompaiiimcut to Os
bornes voice Inn are mine and I
wont give jou tip Mine Do yoi heir

The frc h air milling past cooled her
face and fears Kite looked with a
sense of security at the terse watch-
ful figure beside her Yes she was
glad she hid come i > Lt
It is daring she said softly again

The death angel came to the home
of Mr D A Maddox about one milo

days He leaves a father mother
four sisters and three brothers and u
large number of relatives and friends
to weep after their dear treasure He

Weep not dear kindred for your

Jesus Christ for He says in His words
Suffer little children to come unto
me and forbid them not for of such
is the kingdom of heaven
