He snys that his grain averaged over 2G bushels to tho aero. A part of tho grain went bet tor than thirty bushels per ndro. There aro n largo number of farmers In this community who still havo soveral thousand bushols of grain. Tho car Hhortago hns delayed many in mar keting their grain. ; n; For quick notion and saUsfactosy salo list your land -with Tkoeltc&e. it "Excuse me. Tom," she snld one dny, "but If I am to bo your wife I think I have n right to know whether It i.s to be months or yenia before the wcddlug." "I wish I could tell you. but 1 can't. I'm afraid you'll hnve to wait till 1 am In n ixisltlon to say 'Xhmo the day.'" " by cun t I know what contributes to or detracts from your nblllty to sny that?" "Well, you had better not know the many drawbacks tlint contlnunlly come up before me. Nnturnlly they are discouraging. If I told you about them they would fret you. That would react on me, and instead of .having only myself to bolster up I would have you also." There tho matter dropped. Ono evening when he called on her she was not at home. Ho called ngnln several times during the week and she was always away. Sunday evening ho found her in. He mentioned having cnllcd without seeing her nnd expected her to glvo n renson for not being nt home. She went on talking about oth er mntters without doing so. Ho did not ask for an explanation, but when the next week he ngnln found her out every evening that he called he ex pressed surprise at tho chnngo in her hnblts. "I presume you consider," sho snld. "that you have a right to know every thing tlint I do. I don't ndmit that you have. We are not married nnd may never bo married. Even when married you will only havo n right to know what I am doing provided I know tho samo of you." This was a view of tho matter he had not considered. He was nware that it was intended ns retaliation for his own refusnl to give her his confi dence, nnd be bad nothing further to sny. Not long nfter this he took a partner In his business. Quite likely had not this withdrawal of confidence on Tsoth sides taken plnce he might hnve men tioned tho fact of this addition to tho firm and given the reason for It It would certainly have been a pleasant matter to communicate, for the addi tional capital brought him almost cer tainly insured his success. Bnt the struggle was on between the lovers, nnd one withholding of confidence brought another. Shu heard of tho change In her lover's firm, but not from him. It had scarcely occurred when he In formed her that his affairs were now in such condition that he would be pleased to have her name the day. She named one year from the' next first of January, In all about fifteen months. By this time he was ready for any coenterstroke she might make in this battle of denied confidences and did not aafc her why she proposed to make him wait so lea?. But it did not suit ber purjxwe tft leave him In ignorance. She bad ited the position of as sistant to s wealthy woman who was president of n srfety of suffragists and in ewwWeratlon of certain nd vnnces made by her employer hnd agreed to erre eighteen months. She was buxy rawt of the day and In the evening wrote a great many letters in the president's name She had hoped that he would show some disappointment in having to wnlt so long for her, but If ho felt it he con trolled its expression. He merely snld that, such being the case, they would have to wait, but since n great deal might happen in n year and n half, perhaps It would be better to leave the matter of tho wedding dny open. Sho didn't like this; her Idea was to tie him down to a fixed day nnd mnko.hlm wnlt for it Ho did not call so often ns formerly, giving ns a reason tlint bo did not care to draw her away from her duties, Sho said that tho correspondence hnd been delegated to another, nnd her evenings would bo free. Nevertheless ho confined his visits to Sunday nights. This status was maintained till tho period of her engagement with tho president was about to expire, when her lover Informed her that his busi ness would roquiro a six months' trip nbrond, nnd the wedding hnd better bo postponed till nfter his return. This was a home thrust, but sho hnd a countcrstroko ready. Sho told him that sho concurred heartily. Sho had been offered tho position of secretary to n wealthy bachelor nnd would Uko to try it for nwhllc. It would there fore suit her to postpone tho dny for n year Instead of six months. ThU was playing tho Joker. Ho cursed "Inwardly, but not outwardly, no said that n year's lntervnl before tho marrlago would suit him very well. Ho was to leavo on his trip in n week and would call tho dny before sailing to say goodby. Sho went up to her room, locked tho door and hnd a good cry, Tho day beforo ho wns to sail he called. Tho hour was 4 in tho nfter noon. Tho ship wns to bo pulled out at 2 tho next morning. "I am golug to flip a coin," ho said. Sho abated hor prldo so far ns to ask him what for, and ho snld he would tell her If it caiuo down heads up. If It camo down fnlls there would bo nothing to tell. It came down heads. "I flipped," ho snld, "to determine whether wo should contluo this non senso longer or that wo bo married this evening, go aboard tho ship by midnight and tnko tho trip together. It was heads that wo do."' Sho flow upstairs to do her packing They were on board by 11 p m.

Mutual Building & Loan Assn. OF1NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. ASSETS $840,000.00 To Prospective Building & Loan Borrowers; Non-resident Building & Loan Companies are adver tising the fact that they have reduced the monthly payments of borrowers to $1.10 per month on each $100.00 borrowed, making the monthly payment the same as the Mutual Build ing & Loan Association of North Platte. They fail to state that of the SI. 10 paid to the non-resident company, there is only thirty-five cents credited as a principal payment, the balance seventy-five cents being taken for interest. Of the $1.10 monthly payment to this association on each $100.00 borrowed sixty cents is for interest and fifty cents is credited as a principal payment. This difference in the amount credited the borrower will result in the borrower in the non-resident company be ing compelled to pay not less than $25.00 more on each S100.00 borrowed in order to discharge the debt than they would if they were doing the business with this Associatton.
