One of the Tine Ridge braTe, camped in South Alliance dur ing the spud picking weapon, purchased feed for his horse from Mr. Nation, to the amount of $12. When his job craned he left without further ado and loo without paying for the feed. Mr. Nation got in touch with Sheriff Wilier, and together they sought the trail of the thoughtless redskin. They wp re informed that a bunch of In dians had left tor Chadrarr Wednesday mom'ng, and they took up the trail, catching up with them at Dunlap. on the Niobrara river. There Mr. Nation gave them the once-over and discover ed that the man wanted was not in the bunch. The Indians In the party imparted the information that the man sought had gone the opposite direction, to Scott.blu(T. The expense of a trip to the sugar metropolis was some seven or eight dollars more than the f 12 feed bill, and the chase was reluc tantly abandoned.

For these reasons the Model Cleaners and Tailors is coming to be the consistent choice of the better dressers of Alliance. Our better service and greater economy is so obviously apparent that sending one suit or dress to us for a trial makes a permanent customer. SUITS TAILORED TO YOUR MEASURE.

The weather was bracing as Marge walked home from the Daysvllle pout olliee, jet her footsteps lagged. In her hand were two bulky letters. To the kindly neighbors, who took much Interest In Marge and her career, theae letters always fat ones were a joy. Marge wns an authoress, you mast understand. Oh, yes, she wrote uiauy, many stories; but only she knew that tney were all uimuhtUhed. The vll Inge folk thought the reuson she r. fused to talk about her stories was a uiodext one. They did not under Maim the meaning of the thick envel opes which contained rejected manu scripts. Three years ago Marge hnd a love anair. All Diiysvllle had known It and hnd thrilled at It. Then one day. In the city paper's society puge, there hnd been on announcement: "Mln Kay fey Ituian betrothed to Mr. Rob ert JSenedict." "Ills" name I Marge's sweetheart! Everyone was Indignant; and Marga wrote iilm a brief note telling him never to try to see her azaln. Those three long years had gone oy slowly. And Marge, now an ar dent nian-hnter of twenty-two, was en authoress. Yet her works could hard' ly be called stories: they were sat Ires. All the scorn she felt for "man" she , embodied In her manuscripts. "Love!" she would say. "Love! Everyone writes of it, sings of It dreams of It. Not I! Here Is ona who would not write of love, but will laugn at It. It's nothing but a farce, anyway I" And she really thought she Deiieved It. , Consequently, back came all her stories, accompanied by a polite little rejection slip. In the city, Dob Benedict had risen from a newsDtiper reporter to assist ant manager and editor of a short story magazine. And. while read I no some of the numerous manuscripts one day, he came upon one written by a Marge Wilcox of Diiysvllle. It was no other than the girl who had "thrown him over" without an ex planatlont With Increased Interest he reread the story that ridiculed love mm men. "Jove, but she's bitter 1 Mavbe some one Jilted her, as she did me. Mie deserves It but no. confound it I She must have had a good reason," he mused. At length he persuaded the editor to let him experiment, and send the following letter: "Dear Maadm : We read Tour un tisunl story, 'Green Apples,' with much interest. Although at present we can riot use the story, we would like to nave, some time In the near future, an opportunity to talk with you about kJWIA H ..1.1. I . m. . & ovriii7 nvim jvu ling ll UO IOr US. f " ery truly yours, "THE EDITOR." When Marge received this letter she was overioyed. In fuct. she almost changed her 'opinion of men. She want ed to go to the editor the next dav but, of course, that would look too enjrer. so she waited two whole days. All n-tremble, she reached the build lng where the magazine was published She" told the office boy that the ed Itor hnd asked her to call. He was not at till Impressed, but. Indifferently, lok her name; toward the editorial of flee. "The editor Is out, miss, but the as sistant will see you." he suld, when he returned. "Hob !" she gaed, whep she opened the door and saw who wus iu the room. "You !" "Why, Marge!" exr-lalmed the as sistant editor, try ng to look very much surprised, and to control his snaking knees. "Y ou wanted to see me 1 mean, the editor wrote me the letter will ex- pluln she imssed him the letter. "Ah, yes, Miss Wilcox," he suld. very "editorially." "Won't you sit down? e feel you heve talent, and are wast- Ing yourself on this satire stuff. What the public WiintH l8 the love Interest or human Interest. Now, a good whole some love story stands more " "If you wished to see me to tell me to write love stories, 1 might Just us well be going. For 1 don't Intend to write any," she said, defluntlv. "You don't need to write love stories, but you do need to have stories with milium interest. -Are you trying to tell me my stories are Inhuman?" the girl de claimed. "No, but I think you were Inhuman when you wrote me that letter three years ago with nary an explanation." "Why, why " stammered Marge, completely overwhelmed by the unex pectedness of the remark. "The an. nouncement in the paper," she suld ameiy. "What announcement?" snapped the assistant editor. "Your engagement." "I never was engaged to anyone but you. and never will be. Didn't it ever occur to you that someone else might lear the Mime name that I do? And rememler this, young woman, you're not going away from this city till a certain Judge friend of mine grants me a special license and a certain min ister says certain words binding ones, too. "Don't you know, dear, that we cun't live successfully without love. Just as we can't write successfully without It?" And ut lust Marge did understand. No Postponement of -Railroad Strike, But It May Be Settled The prospective rail strike cannot be postponed, but it can be settled. This was the opinion of the four bif? brotherhood chiefs and the president cf the switchmen's union after a con ference Thursday mornino; at Chicago at which it was learned they had con sidered all phases of the situation as they may be presented at the meeting wiht the United States railroad board. Union headquarters was optimistic and there was stronjrly evident a feeling- that there will be no strike unless something1 unexpected occurs to disrupt the conference. The eleven so-called "standard" unions marked time awaiting the out come of the labor board meeting. NEW YORK. Oct. 20. Proceeding as if they expected failure oi the1 railroad labor board in its efforts to prevent the threatened rail strike by a conference in Chicago with B:gl rive nrotnernoofi chiefs, members of the eastern presidents' conference met here today to lay plans for meeting the strike on eastern and New England railroads. Although they professed to .ee some hope of peace through the labor board's efforts, the railroad heads de clared that with strike orders already issued they could not afford to delay their plans to see what the Chicasro conference would bring; forth. Advertisements calling for men to take the places of possible strikers have been prepared by all the rail roads centering here, and these, it was reported, would be g-iven to newspapers during the day. Several of the railroads have sent out circular letters to their employes, urginpr them to think carefully before they join the proposed strike and not "be misled in this matter."
