Williams Creek Letter.
Dkak CoimiKK Nut Laving heard any
thing from this district for some time,
1 thought 1 would write a few lines in
connection with our gloiious climate.
I must say that we have a good climate.
Since we have been here we have paid
for our home, ll0 acres of good land,
which was all brush and timber a good
many years ago. 1 was one of a big
family when we settled here. Wo all
went to work, big, little, old and young
and we hail lo economize In order to live,
but we did. We paid for our place and
also accumulated property so wn got to
be good livers with plenty to live on.
I write this letter after all these long
years to show others that those that
have no homes can do as we have done.
Times are better now for a poor man
Ihiin they were when my father settled
on this creek. My father was a tier man,
a close calculator. When he died he
left Ins family in good ciicumstances,
with a good banking account. This was
all brought about by hard labor and
good management.
As I look around and see so many
men of families that are depending on
days labor for support, they had better
seek homes and quit talking of hard
times and lay up something for their
old age and 'increase the tux roll. As it
is now a few taxpayers have to stand
the burden of the taxes.
We have on this creek some good
farmers that are farmers, then we have
others that don't seem lo care, just so
they exiBt, Perhaps I am a little haul
on the settlers on this creek, but if
others had worked as our family has
done, we would be paying thousands of
dollars in (axes where now it is only
hundreds.
We have bad an open winter ro far
but there has been a good deal of water
for the millets.
Being a (ieruian, I have not djne
justice, to our own crock but if this 1b
publiahelin the Comma I will write
again.

I A Reconsidered Decision
t By Nellie CraTej Gil more.
tfna tti Bom Hiailn.. Wk.Mivrloft. luprtntaa fef
THERE was no doubt in Dorothy's
mind that she had niai'e a wise decision-.
That is, according to a pe
cuniary view of the thing and the smil
ing approval of a host of p -or relations
whose proclivities for advice, hereto
fore, were in ill proportiuu to the sue
of their purse.
And though Inwardly rebellious, the
idea of sacrificing herself on the altar
of Mammon seemed to her as interest
ing as it m odd-. But money could do
anything! All the pinching little econ
oinics'thiit they had been compelled to
practice for years would vanish like
snow under n noonday sun, und some
sense of independence be established.
But there is no getting over the hitter
fact that other thoughts, and, perhaps,
other hopes, had been crushed into the
background.
"All that is past and gone, though,"
Dorothy told herself with a' stanch
sense of propriety, "and 1 mustn't al
low my self to think too much about It."
She passed her hand, a little wearily,
through the brown hair that waved
buck from her face, and- leaned one el
bow meditatively on the window sill,
thinking of the future she had laid out
for herself, and living over, in a hun
dred ways, Ihe past.
Then she thought of Hurry, and look
ing gloomily for nn instant at the dia
mond that sparkled on her linger, drew

she promised, in desperation, a final oil

with a thousand nameless doubta. She
aJniott fa! ered; only a strong sense of
propiii ty withheld her, and a sting of
memory of the night before tufiiced to
strengthen her resolution.
"Could you not easily console your
aelf with Mis Hunt? You aeem to
admire, her very much." She spoke
with soma bitterness anu her face
hardened. The girl's heart was mak
ing Ita protest, unconsciously, but
aurely.
U An expression, halt of amusement,
came into Cambridge a face, as he
caught the atrange light In her eyes,
but he made no answer, and, in apite
of the girl's indifferent shrug, a look
ot annoyance crossed her face.
A breath of wind, heavy with the
fragrance of summer, fluttered the
ribbons ot her soft gown, aa she
turned to him, her eye black with
audden amotion.
"You took her to the hop did you
not?"
"it waa by the merest chance," he
answered with a gesture that seemed
to indicate: "What else waa I to do?"
There waa alienee for a little. Then
he looked up auddenly, and said:
"I waa surprised not to see you
there."
Dorothy said nothing, but shaded
her eyes from the sun with one small
hand and gaxed idly at a climbing
rose at the other end of the veranda.
He had not asked her to go, and a
aort of silly pride forbade her to let
him know that no one else had.
"1 meant to come here," Balnbridge
began, after a pause, "to tell you
everything. I thought perhaps," he
went on slowly, "that you would not
mind to much. But I heard some
one told me, that you would be at the
dance with Eggtirton. That is the rea
son."
The girl's heart began to beat, and
a look of surprise swept the latest re
sentment from her face.
Something in the man's tone, In
the earnestness of hla manner, forced
his sincerity upon her, and she half
relented.
Hut the die was cast, and there wai
no going back now. Site caught her
breath, and the wave of tenderness
that overwhelmed her for a minute
was quickly crushed down.
Dorothy drew a deep breath. There
was a pause. Presently she spoke.
"No one asked me to go to the hop,'
she said, determined to let him know
everything now. "'I knew you were
there with hrr, and I thought, of
course, you dldn t care about me."
Her heart Waa throbbing painfully,
as she went on, unsteadily: "And now
since I am going to marry some one
else I don t see the use of talking any
more about it.
"I suppose not," Balnbridge re
turned, coldly, reaching for his hat.
lood-by.
The careless tone made her heart
sink. She could not let him go like
mat.
"Hurryl"
He turned back.
"Can't we be friends?"
He gaited at her fixedly for a mo-
ment and an ominous cloud gathered
on tils nrow.
"No. I think not."
A glimmer of disappointment passed
over the girl a face,
"Do you mean," she asked, locking
her hands tightly over each other,
while a look of hurt surprise appeared
on her race, "that we are to be stran'
gers?"
"I mean," he answered, slowly, in I
voice In which pain mingled with paa
slon, "that it will be everything, or
nothing. I shall always love you, and
I cannot pretend to a friendship which
I do not feel."
He pnused for an instant and looked
atrolght into the girl's eyes. "It ia
better," he suld, calmly, "to ba an
enemy than a hypocrite."
Something in his voice owed her

set and great patches of gold fell on
the man's face, now white and deter
mined a face that brooked no com
promise. Suddenly he came close to her and,
stopping, pressed hla Up to her white
forehead.
She shot a quick glance Into hla
eyes and the worm color died her face
scarlet.
"It is for the last time," he said,
tremulously, and was gone.
There were tears In the girl's eyea
the white lids quivered, and her, lipt
trembled. Broken down by the vio
lence of her emotions, she turned and
hurried li.to the room, to be alone
with her misery.

In the moment that followed, she

the veranda, a deeper color in her
cheeks, and a railiant light in hrr
eyes.
She cast one sweeping glance at the
retreating figure. Balnbridge was al

away, coming directly toward him,
handsome and smiling, Adelaide Hunt.
"Harry!" Dorothy's voice was cleor
and firm, and there waa a new thrill
In It.
He turned, a little coldly, and

"Vou have forgotten something."
He paused for a second, then, under
the potent spell of her voice, retraced
his steps and followed her into the
library.
She went straight up to the table
