Handley has told 100 state legislators assembled at Indiana University this weekend that be will submit a $1 billion budget. ,He also admitted that the surplus fund, run almost out of existence by the previous Republican administration, was now up to $37 million, just $3 million short of a safe minimum, Let’s hope the Democratic house will provide the leadership which the governor and his party apparently lack in making put a budget that satisfies most of the needs of the state and yet keeps the minimum on hand as surplus.

enjoyable program for the nation’s teen-ager*. Adams county leaders will get their first real look at the program in an training session Sunday at Geneva. Starting at 1:30 p.m., the session will extend through dinner until 9:30 p.m. Later thi* month every high school student will get a chance to see what the explorer program will be like when John G. Carlson, district executive, presents the program in a school assembly. —o On next Tuesday the fanners of Adams county, and 931 other counties in the United States will go to the polls to select the corn program which best suits their needs, of the two offered by Secretary Benson. It is interesting to note that either program will lower the price of corn, the first program lowering it more than the second. Secretary Benson, like his good friend and advisor. Dean Butx, of Purdue, seems to be tnore closely allied with the market than with the farmer when it comes to helping the farmer get a decent price for what he raises and sells. It is certainly hoped that the new congress can offer a better farm program than Secretary Benson has been able to come up with, and that in two years a new secretary will replace old Ezra.

Is it all right for the “dummy” at bridge to leave the table? A. If really necessary, it is all right.

This is proper only if yau are a very small child and your mother or father is cutting up your meat for you. Q.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED When Pau) Rattle lost bis wife, he had three small children and wanderlust. Knowing Paul's shortcomings Sd fearful for the welfare of the ildren, bls young sister Elizabeth moved la with them. They moved In a prairie wagon from Illinois to Kansas and then to Texas tn Paul's haphazard search for his Idea of a good place to settle. One day in hostile Indian country tn North Texas, Elisabeth realizes they are lost Paul, true to character, will not admit thia, and announces his determination to build a home right where they ara. in the middle of the prairieland. Elizabeth can't argue with Paul effectively enough to stop him from chopping up their wagon for firewood. * CHAPTER 3 SLEEP was impossible for Elizabeth Rettig so she slipped into her dress and walked over to the dying Ore. Paul Rettig stirred in his blankets, them sat up. "1 can’t sleep either. New places get me too excited for sleep. You, too?” "No,” Elizabeth said. "You know they don’t. Worry keeps me awake." “That's a waste of time," Rettig said. “If somethin's goin' to happen, it'll happen and worryin' won’t help one way or the other. Maybe you should have stayed in Peoria, Elizabeth. We’d get on all right" “Would you? Paul, face the truth for once." He ran his fingers through his unbarbered hair. "Gettln' chilly again. I’D get some more wood tor the fire.” He got up and went to the wagon and brought back the tool box, then chopped it into kindling. “You’d be better off it you burned the ax handle,’’ she said. He seemed offended by the suggestion. “An ax is a tool. To a buildin' man, that’s a crime, oumin* a toot" He sat down, orosslegged, and spread his hands to the rising heat. “I’ve been thinking, Elizabeth, that when I get the place built, you ought to go back to Peoria, I’ll make out all right here." “1 don’t worry about you, Paul." “Well, then the kids will make out 1 ain’t sayin’ that you’re not a comfort to them, Elizabeth, but a man’s got to take care of his own. What i mean Is, I’ve been thinkin' of taking a woman to wife, and you’d be in the way." “What woman?" “What do you mean, what woman? How in thunderation do I know? I ain't picked her out yet!" He shook his head. “The ’way you talk a persem’d think I couldn’t get a woman. Hell, I ain’t such a bad looking man when I dress myself a little." “Paul, there isn’t a woman within a hundred miles." “Now you don’t know that," Paul Rettig said? "Elizabeth, you’re talkin’ without knowin’ whether It’s so or not.” "There were no women at Camp

Supply, at least not single women,’’ she said. “And Harry But- I ler said there were none at Adobe J Walls, at least none that were 1 fit to raise children." s Paul Rettig smacked his lips to illustrate his annoyance. “My i goodness, to hear you tell it, Eliz- i abeth, I ought to have her all i picked out or somethin’." ; “It wouldn’t hurt before you made your brag,” she said. "Paul, why don’t we settle in town, Dodge City for instance?” “Don’t want to settle in town. I’m not a man who likes to work for a wage, or take another man's sass. Never have been, so don’t try to make me into one.” He stirred the fire. “If you’d stayed in Illinois I’d have me a wife by now. Pm thankful for what you done, but a man can’t attract a woman when he already has one. They don’t think to ask whether you’re my sister or not.” “Well I never!” Elizabeth said. “I didn't mean to make you mad,” Rettig said. "But you worry too much, Elizabeth. Always wanting everything just so. Forget about tomorrow; it kind of takes care of itself.” ■• • • Within a week Paul Rettig had erected the walls of his sod hut, but in his hurry to get the job done, he had built too close to the spot where he dug his blocks, and ended up with a fairly large pit right by the front door. The wagon tongue became the main rafter, but there the wood > seemed to peter out, for Rettig s insistence on a daily fire had eoni sumed the rest of the wagon, save two short planks. Elizabeth insisted that he make a table of the planks, and Rettig gave tn to her; from that day forward they ate their meals standing while the buffalo gnats buzzed tn through the open windows and door. „ The children, who ranged away from the soddy most of the day, saw the column of cavalry when they were yet a mile away; Rettig and Elizabeth went outMde i and watched them come on. ! They halted thirty yards from , the soddy, then Lieutenant Butler ' separated himself from the pa* i trol and came on with a smile, i He dismounted and flogged hiS ’ hat against his shoulders, raising a rank cloud of dust. He wad t a tall man, in his middle twen- * ties, dappet, mustaehed, easy* t mannered. s “Elizabeth, 1 had' no ide«r-" 1 He Curbed to Paul Rettig and of* [ sered his hand. “How are you, i sir?” Rettig shook hands briefly, dis* i trustfully. ’Tolerably well.’’ "My point saw the soddy," But* * ler said. *Tm delighted to see , you again, all of you.” He frewn- ’ ed slightly. “But I understood you were moving west, sir. Why > did vmi turn south?”

"A notion," Rettig said, hoping to let It go at that He glanced at Elizabeth, as though telling her to keep her mouth shut. “Well, it’s no matter," Butler said. His smile was immense. “1 intended to turn back this afternoon, but perhaps we could camp ,the night by the creek." “Help yourself,” Rettig said and turned oack to his work. Butler rotated his nat m his hands and shifted his feet. To give hi— something to do, he turned to his sergeant, and said, “Bivouac the men by the creek, Collins.” “Yes, sir.” The detail ted their mounts to the creek, equipment and curb chains rattling. Elizabeth watched Harry Butler, then she said, “1 didn’t think I’d ever see you again, Harry.” She Judged him to be a man who needed encouragement for he was a Yankee who lived within the limits ot certain hidebound rules of behavior. “I’m — certainly glad your brother turned south,” Butler said. “It was an accident,” Elizabeth said. "He got tost.” “No?” Butler laughed. Then he took her arm and steered her toward the pile of sod olocks Rettig had 'eft over. She eat down and Butler stood before her, a foot elevated and braoed against the pile. “Elizabeth, would you believe me if I said that Oamp Supply was a very lonely place after you left?” “No, 1 wouldn’t believe it, but thanks for saying so.” He laughed again and slapped his thigh. “Thia is rare good luck for me. i mean, you here, and me taking • patrol out every eight days." Then he sobered. “Lieutenant Burkhauser, he alternates qa patrol with me, will find this soddy, but 1 want to warn you now that he’s a Texan, and you know what liars Texans are.” i “1 don’t know any," she said, smiling, “but from the way you say that, 1 would suspect that he is a very nice man.” "Too hice, damn it." He looked at her intently for a moment, i then said, “Elizabeth, I’m not a pushy man, and the reason 1 I didn’t speak at Camp Supply was J thought four days was a mighty short time for a man to—” "It is," she said quickly. "Harry, you’re nice, but give this some time. I’ll be here when you come , back.” "Yes, of course." He straightened and slapped his hands against his fla* stomach. Then he • laughed. "That wasn’t exactly i the speech 1 intended to make, but seeing tu how I figured all I chance to make it was gone, fm ’ grateful for saying this much." (To Ba Contfnued)

"I saw that la-de-daln*. Elizabeth." be said. "1 can see that it’s gone to your head.” Rettig looked at the army camp by the creek bank. The cavalrymen kept looking toward the soddy, toward Elizabeth Rettig. "Just took at ’em. actin’ Hke they never seen a woman before," Rettig said. "That Harry Butler ain’t any better, except that he covers it up with manners." He puffed his cheeks and blew out a long breath. "1 hate to say this. Elizabeth, but any single woman looks good out here. If Butler was back home, he wouldn’t give you a second glance." "But he’s not home, to be?" "Elizabeth tt you ain’t the dangest one foe duckin’ an issue." He started to turn away then •topped. "If you’re ready to fix supper Tm ready to sat tt." While she cooked over the open fire, Elizabeth Rettig decided that her brother was right; women were few and far between out here, and a wall flower back home could be the belle of the ball here. Men looked at her because she was a woman, and women were scarce. Rettig and Ms son ate first; be considered tt • man’s privilege, then Elizabeth and the girts had their supper. Catherine and Mary bolted their food, then Catherine asked, "Can we go to the Soldiers’ camp?" -I suppose, but don’t make pests of yourselves", They ran off whooping, and Elizabeth took ths pots and plates to the ereek to wash them.

and she flipped ber head around quickly; Lieutenant Butler was standing there and Elizabeth hastily dropped her skirt. "I didn’t mean to startie you," Butler said. “But since I’ve been out here, Tve learned not to make a lot of noise." He bent down and gathered up the pans. "Let me help you with those." She touched him on the arm quickly, lightly. “Harry, why do you stay here, in this country?" “It’s my assignment," be said. "No, I guess ttfs more than that. I turned down duty to Baltimore last spring.” "Why? Baltimore to better than this." He put the pans down and took a slim cheroot from Ms inner pocket. “You mind?” She shook her bead. He struck a match on the butt of Ms revolver, cupping bls bands around the brief flame. *T guess I bated this country a few years ago. Hated the ever present wind and the loneliness of it an. Just miles and mites ot nothing but miles and miles. Then I went back East on leave. Nothing was the same." He toughed briefly. “The home plane seemed mighty •man. You know what I mean? It wasn’t only tbs home place, tat everything. The buildings just seemed more crowded together than I remembered, and the streets narrower. I got a strong yearning for room, and I came back." "And that was tin test time you went buck?" "Tea” Butler said. -I don’t want to go back, Elizabeth. This is where I belong. I don't make much, tat Tve saved a little money, and it a good investment comes along, TH sink something into it Out here, a man gets the feeling that he can’t lose for trying." He bent and picked up the pans again. “We’d better get back.” Paul Rettig was standing just outside the soddy door when they walked up. “Took you long enough," be said. “We were talking," Elizabeth said and pushed past him. TH bet you were,” Rettig said sourly. "If she says so,” Harry Butler said evenly, "then you’d better believe RT Ho took • final pun on his cigar and ground tt beneath Ms heeL "Come out a little shy on wood, didn’t you?” TH get by," Paul Rettig said.
