Of course, there was a maid In the ;
kitchen, but Harry never doubted for
a moment that It was his bride, Molly,
who really made It possible for these
wonders to be evolved.
Now, Molly had about as much con
fidence In her own ability In the kitch
en as Harry had, although she had
never been put severely to the test,
where everything depended npon her
alone. So, when Bridget's first day out
trrlved, she and Harry both looked for ;
ward to It as a sort of lark. As they i
were drinking their coffee that morn

"Now don't go and try to get tip

In the middle of the efternoon, Mol
ly descended to the kitchen, clad In a
neat blue linen drefts, and tackled the
dinner.
About half-past five, Mrs. Webster,
a near neighbor, who had made friends
at once with Molly, rang the bell of
the Carrs house. Molly answered, sat
down with her caller, and apologized
for her dress. But she was so evident
ly nervous and left the room so many
times on one excuse or another that
her experienced friend oegan to realize
that something must be wrong with the
kitchen arrangements.
At last the truth came out and Mol
ly explained her predicament, between
tears and luughter.
"Why, Mrs. Webster," she cried, "It
never occurred to me I couldn't get
whole dinner alone I I've done lots
of cooking!'
"Come on out and let's see how bad
It Is," suggested Mrs. Webster.
It did seem rather hopeless. On the
tables lay a fierce-looking collection of
cooking utensils and dishes, all Boiled

Molly and Mrs. Webster looked at
each other a moment and then clearer
the ntiuopphere by laughing Immod

"What shall I dot Of course, my
pride Is hurt, and I hate to tell Harry
but I suppose I must"
"Why tell him that you tried to gel

"Never mind. People sometlmei

MAY CREATE OFFICE
OF CLERK OP COURT
There Is a possibility that Box
Butte county may hare a new county
official- a clerk of the district
court. The law provides that when
a county has a population of 8,000
people the county must have a clerk
of courts separate 'from the county
clerk. The law also provides that
five times the number of votes cast
at a general election is a fajr basis
for computation, allowing five per
sons for each voter. '
A total of 1,640 votes were cast in
this county at the recent election.
Multiplying this number by five we
get a total ' of 8.200. The county
commissioners have the power to
create the office and appoint a clerk
for the remainder of the term, which
in this Intaance would be for two
years. The figures show that there
has been an increase in population
in Box Butte county, during the past
four years of 17 per cent
