Walter Koos, able county assessor, will take office again on the same date. Loren Heller will replace Harley Reef as commissioner 3rd district. Burl Johnson, twice sheriff of the county, will leave the first of the year to take seat 34 in the general assembly. Johnson is a ready speaker, and able man, and wiL do the job for which he has been elected in his own simple and direct way.

Lewton will begin the fourth year of his fouryear term. The seven county councilmen took office the Saturday following their election. Severin H. Schurger will become prosecuting attorney, an office which he has held formerly. Township trustees in each of the 12 townships will also take office on January 1.

Blakey, Union township; and Robert M. Kolter, Preble township, all Democrats except Burry. Each will be assisted by an advisory board of three members.

CHAPTER 15 FUZABETH RETTIG did not get away from Camp Supply that evening as she nad planned, tor there was ouytng to be done, oargains to oe made. She searched out a disgusted family and bought another wagon and tour norses tor less than sixty dollars, then nired a man to load the wagon at the sutler’s warehouse. She Knew nothing about the trading busmess, but she had a natural instinct tor good-sense ouying. and she pushed a hard bargain with the sutler. To ner way of thinking, the Texans would not be coming north until spring, and all the trade she would have through the wintei would be with the Indians. so she bought blankets and strap iron and pots and Knick-knacks abandoned by a hundred families. She rummaged for jewelry and beads and dresses and cloth that the sutler was more than eager to get rid of. The wagon load, carefully packed, and piled high, cost her less than a hundred dollars. While she was buying, she thought of White Bird and bought a mahogany music box that played a tinkling tune; she meant to make a gift of it. She bought something for the girls, dolls she found tn the bottom of a trunk. And for Tom there was a rifle, not a new rifle, but a good gun, a bargain at eight dollars. The two girls did not want to Leave Mobeetie Jake’s adobe, but Elizabeth was firm and loaded them into the first wagon. To Tom, she said, “You want to be a man. then drive the ox." He suddenly grinned and squared his shoulders. “There’s a Spencer rifle leaning against the seat. It’s yours as long as you show me you have sense enough to handle it.” "Gee, thanks, Aunt Elizabeth.” He ran to the wagon and vaulted onto the seat Moobeetie Jake watched him, eyes pulled into fleshy slits. “Maybe you done the right thing there. Load him down with man’s work until his back breaks. Make him want to be a kid again. That might just do the trick.” ”1 hope it will,” Elizabeth said. She produced the music box. “Would you ask your wife to come out, Jake? I want to give her this." He flipped his head around and bawled her name; she came obediently to the door. Elizabeth extended the gift "You’ve been very kind to me. 1 want you to have this.” She held the box and finally White Bird took it. but only tor an instant- She turned it in her hands, looked at it, then dropped it on the ground, her face unchanging. “You damned heathen!” Mobeetie Jake said hotly. He meant to hit her, but Elis-1 • IBM. Will Cook. Ranriatad to we

Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE o- o Q. While I was in the hospital for several weeks, our neighbors were thoughtful enough to invite my husband for meals and to send food to our home. Now that I am home again, what can I do to show my appreciation to these friends? A. The only thing you really have to do is to second your husband's thanks for their kindness and thoughtfulness. Q. At a wedding recption, in what positions should the wedding party stand in the receiving line? A. The bride should stand at the right of the bridegroom, with her maid-of-honor at her right, the bridesmaids next. Hie best man and ushers do not stand in the line. Q. How many vegetables is it necessary to serve at a well-pre-pared dinner? A. Two vegetables, usually.

[abeth stopped him. “It’s all right,” she said. She offered her hand. “Goodbye, Jake. And if you ever come out Mustang Creek way, be sure to stop." | “Will do,’.’ he said. “Sure you lean handle that team with one good arm? The boy knows which ■ way is gee and haw, don’t he?" “He’ll soon learn," she said and walked toward her wagons. Mobeetie Jake and his woman stood there until Elizabeth got under way and drove off the post. Finally Jake looked at the woman and said. “1 ought to beat manners into you.” He turned and went Inside the adobe, slamming the door. White Bird slowly turned her glance down at the music box, then quickly snatched it up and hugged it against her, her arms tight about it. • • • Sighting the cottonwood grove early in the evening, Elizabeth Rettig stopped the team and just sat there, studying the trees, i They spread along the creek bank I for nearly a quarter of a mile, I and grew In a thick, two-acre patch where the crossing made a sharp switchback. Her first impulse was to build the cabin beneath the trees, then she thought better of it. She was building a trading post, and It ought to be where it could be seen, so she chose a flat, grassy spot a half mile east of the grove, where she could see the unlimited prairie, and where the prairie traveler could see her when he was yet great distances away. They camped that first night, eating and turning in for an early start in the morning. A fractured arm would have made most men hesitate in the building of a home, but Elizabeth Rettig merely figured out ways to work around the handicap. Tom did all the ax work when It came to felling trees, but Elizabeth could pull a saw with one hand, at least one end of it, and together they cut timber for the sill logs and floor. Fifteen days saw the walls up and the rafter hung. The place was nearly forty feet long and twelve feet wide, which made roofing it easy. Tom used sticks laced together, then plastered with mud and grass. Elizabeth was fitting the window sills when she had visitors, Bat Masterson and two buffalo hunters whom he introduced as Billy Dixon and Jim Hanrahan. They spent some time walking around, admiring the work and remarking how amazed they were that so much was done by one woman and three children. Tom continued to work; he would not answer Masterson's howdy. The two girls were mixing mud and grass mortar and chinking in between the logs. “Thought we’d go out to Adobe acasMat with Dodd.

J! Walls for a spell,** Masterson r said. “Had to stop and see how f you was getting along." ;' "A little out of your way, wasn’t it?" Elizabeth asked. i■ “Well," Masterson said, "not > that far. Maybe we could pitch i in a little.” ’I “You might help Tom with 1' the roof,” she said. Tom Rettig heard that He i looked down and said, “Don’t rneed no help!” “Now no sense in being that ■ way,” Masterson said. “Can’t we t get along at all?” “No,” Tom said. In a softer tone, Masterson said, “I’ll go on up and help him, r and maybe it’ll work out-” He . started to pull himself onto the i roof and as he .. did so, Tom Ret- ; tig jumped down. Masterson said, “Hey. where you goin’?” “You want to do it, then do ! it by yourself." He turned and 1 trotted toward the cottonwood 1 grove. “Hey,” Masterson yelled after 1 him, but the boy didn't stop. He • looked at Elizabeth and shook i his head. “Don't that beat all? 1 1 guess he’d rather run off and hide than be around me." BiUy Dixon came over, walking : with a pronounced limp. He grinned through a thicket of ! whiskers. "What you doin' up : there, boy? Carpenterin’?” M “More like making mud pies," “ Masterson said. “You and Jim - want to go on, I'll catch up with ■ you." “Well, we’d thought about it,” t Dixon admitted. "Don’t mean to be impolite, ma'am, but Bat only , said he was goin’ to atop a 1 minute." "Now don’t be in a rush,” Mas- ! terson said, coming down ofl the ! roof. “You want to go that bad, we'U go." He looked around the : building site. "Figure to do your tradin' in here the first year?" “Yes. it’U do. 1 thought I’d build a bigger building over there 1 next year.” She indicated a spot twenty yards west. “Dang it all, Bat." said Dixon. •’Come on. we can't wear out the daylight talking." "My impatient friend,” Masterson said, grinning. “Take care, Elizabeth. I’ll be back.” “And Til be watching for you,” she said, then stood there while they counted up and rode out. Until that moment she had been too busy working to think Os her own personal loneliness or how empty the land was, but Masterson’s brief visit brought it to her, reminding her that this pflace was only a small dot on a sea of grass. "When a man loans a woman money, it’s never strictly business, even if she thinks it is,” Elizabeth is told. What can she nay to that? The story continues tomorrow. tor Um Fsatara ftmUoata, ,
