"Please stop this nonsense, Dick, il don't love you. Why, lve known you for simply ages, and I will not marry you unless 1 love you. Tho man I marry will be someone whom I will meet and full In love with instantly." Barbara's face was determination it self, and tho word "Instantly" waa very emphntlc. "So you see, Alice," Dick finished telling his sister, who was herself hap pily married, und thereforo doubly in terested in all lovo affairs, "whero I am. I think sho loves me, and doesn't know It. That sounds conceited, but I believe It's true. She's tho only girl I'll ever love,, and how I'm going to havo her is beyond tne. Alice, sho won't even let mo touch herl" Dick's voice was hopeless and Indig nant, all in one. Alice's eyes sparkled in a way which Dick well knew. It was a suro Blgn that her brain was busily hatching Eomo scheme. Alice hud never fulled Dick, and this was to be no exception to the rule. "Listen, Dick, I hjivc it Fully guar anteed. I'll have Alice down here for the week-end. 1'ou are to come down on the same train. I'll let you know Just which one. Barbara has a wonder ful new coat and you, my dear sir, arc to foot the bill for a twin sister to that sama coat, if I can possibly find one liko it in tho city tomorrow. Are you on?" Dick nodded. Ills fueo was a study. Ho wua striving to follow Allco, but his face was so blank that Ills glster laughed outright. "Then, Dick, you ar to leave the train only after you aro sure Bnrbara gets off. Then, no matter who U at the station, yoa hear, no matter If tho President should bo holding a wedding roceptlon at the very train steps you arejp rush up and kiss. Barbara.

AI53 TTul Is TOOTo lo tho point, I know girls. Nothing ven ture, Dick, nothing gain, you know." The 5 :14 wus never quite so slow to Dick ns It wns the following Friday. In the car ahead he caught a glimpse of Barbara, keeping himself, however, well out of her sight. To Dick's wrought-up nerves tho wheels seemed to repent over and over, "Nothing ven ture, nothing gain. Nothing venture, nothing gain." As the train stopped nt his station JDlck braced himself. The tlmb to ven turo wns at hand. Three strides brought him closo to .Barbara, and, forgetting his Instruc tions and obeying only his natural Im pulses, he caught her up in his arms. It would have taxed the strongest im agination to have called that kiss but brotherly. For a moment Barbara was stunned, and then her wrath was poured upon Dick's defenseless head. If Alice had not appeared hurriedly upon the scene with exclumatlons of surprise upon noting the likeness of Barbara's coat to the ono she herself was wearing, Dick would probably have boarded tho train and gone on, nof caring where li took htm. "Of course Dick mistook you for mo. Naturally ho would. My dear, where did you gef a coat so liko mine?" Dick breathed n sigh of relief. TJmnks c to Jbe stars for n slstor like Alice. But The end wns not yet. Dick spent a wretched Jinlf-hour waiting for the girls to come down to dinner. Alice's husband had taken himself off, for which Dick was do "voutly thankful. Not that Bob wasn't a nice enough chap, but this was no time to talk politics, etc. In Dick's opinion something more than the ato of a nation was to-be settled within the next few hours. He turned quick ly upon henrlug the door of tho living room open. It was Barbara. "Allco will be down in a few minutes." Barbara's eyes evaded Dick's. "I'm sorry, Barbara, for the mistake I so stupidly made nt the station." Dick's face was quite calm, and Bnr bara could not know that he was se cretly calling himself n liar. Barbara's face flushed. It was n long moment before she spoke, and then her voice was very low. "Dick" "Yes, dear." Was he to win arftcr all 7 "All those people at the station saw you kiss me, and they do not know you mistook me for Alice. What what shall we do?" "You know, dear" Dick was smil ing now "people who are engaged to each other sometimes kiss when they meet. Why not become engaged to me and thnt will give me the privilege of " Dick stopped. "Kissing mo again." Barbara fin ished as Dick's arms closed about her. Alice softly opened the door, beck oned for her husband to peck, and as softly closed it again. to: NOTICE TO BIDDERS Notlco is hereby given that sealed bids will bo received for tho con struction of Sower Lateral District No. 4 which consists of Blocks "D", 7, 8, nnd"b of Cody'a addition to tho city of North Platto, Nebraska and that part of tho Northwest Quarter of Southeast Quarter of Section 32, Town ship 14, Rango 30, commencing nt tho main sower on Jackson Avonuo whoro tho same intersects tho contor line of tho alley, thenco westerly along tho alloy lino through tho nbovo described property.
