Six Years On December 29 Harley J. “Jake” Reef, Jefferson township farmer, will complete six years on the county board of commissioners. Mr. Reef has served two terms creditably. The fact that his party did not nominate him for a third term is certainly not to his dipcredit in any way. The electorate of this county has, for many years, limited each commissioner to two terms, and Mr. Reef is as well-liked and popular as ever. His successor, Loren Heller, is a fine man, respected in the business community, and known over the entire county, as was Mr. Reef. A native of French township, he has been active in both Berne and Decatur. He can be expected to do an efficient job, and thje people will be well pleased if he is as successful as his predecessor.

Dr. Donald F. Carmony of Indiana University has been released from the back-breaking job of associate dean of the extension division of the university. He is editor of the Indiana Magazihe of History, which is published by the university in conjunction with the Indiana Historical society and the Society of Indiana Pioneers. Dr. Carmony is among those who are leading the fight for a modern state museum in Indiana.

The Calvary E. U. B. church, located one mile north of Bobo, and one mile east, is badly in need of members. This church, founded in 1839, was one of the first in this county. As the population of St. Mary’s township has declined, so has membership in the church. The recent loss of their part-time minister has added to the church’s problems. Anyone who feels that they need a church will be more than welcome at the church which needs them.

CHAPTER 16 “VOITU have to use that arm I carefully,” Dr. Caswell said to Elizabeth. "The break has healed cleanly, but It will be another month before full strength returns to the bone." “It feels like it wants to float away." she said. Caswell laughed and put his tools away. "Well, I’ll get back to the detail." When he closed the door Lieutenant Butler said, "Elizabeth. I’ve missed you. I’d have come sooner, but they’ve kept me busy. The replacements never arrived because of the troop concentration at Fort Abraham Lincoln in the Dakotas." He took out a cigar and bit off the end. "Have you heard from Finley Burkhauser?" “No, Harry,” she said. "Besides yourself. Bat Masterson’s the only one who’s stopped." Butler frowned. “Dixon and Hanrahan with him?” “Yes, why?” “Just asking. It’smy job to keep track of the moving around of these characters who can’t stand still." His glance touched her. “I heard he loaned you money. Any truth in it?” “Yes, but it isn’t any business of yours, Harry.” “No, I guess it Isn’t, but I could have loaned it to you.” He seemed offended that someone else had. “A business loan, Harry? No strings attached?" He rotated his cigar between his lipa "Elizabeth, when a man loans a woman money,' it’s never strictly business, even if she thinks it is. Masterson likes women.” "Don’t most men?” He colored quickly. “That’s a damned earthy statement” "And you don’t know whether or not you like it” She Laughed. "Let’s not quarrel, Harry. The loan was business, no matter what you think Masterson thinks.” "If I was a married man I could transfer to a permanent post with tine quarters," he said. "Out to California, maybe, or in Oregon." “That doesn’t sound as exciting as Mustang Creek, Harry." This annoyed him. She didn't mean for it to annoy him. but it did; he failed to understand her liking tor the harshness of the plains, the Loneliness at It, the danger it held for everyone who lived upon it “I was hoping," he said evenly, "that marriage to me would be exciting enough. I’m not as dull aa I seem, Elizabeth.” “Harry, I didn’t mean it that way." The sergeant came to the door, saluting, and said, “Would you like to inspect the camp, sir?” Harry Butler excused himself and went out with the sergeant That evening Dr. Caswell and Lieutenant Hany Butter were’ji-

vited to supper, and the children were placed on their best behavior. The table was not large enough to accommodate all of them, so they ate in shifts, children first Caswell was a fine conversationalist full of good ideas, particularly where Elizabeth Rettig was concerned. “Harry,” he said, drawing deeply on his cigar, “why don’t you remain here three or four days?” Butler looked at him sharply. "I have no orders—" “You also have no orders to turn about and rush back to the post" Caswell said. He leaned forward. “What I had in mind was a little manual labor for Miss Rettig. Eight men could do a Lot in a few days. They could cut all the logs necessary to build the other building, stack them and they’d be cured by spring." “Now 1 can’t use a military force for that purpose and you know it” He glanced at Elizabeth, half in apology. "You understand —” She neatly lifted him off the hook by saying, “Thank you, Doctor, but I understand how the military is and—” "What utter nonsense,” Caswell said flatly. “Butler, the trouble with you is that you're a stick-in-the-mud. When Burkhauser picked Miss Rettig and the others up, did he quibble about sending part of his detail on to Adobe Walls? No, he didn’t, and he wasn’t supposed to do that, either. And fixing Masterson up with a wagon so he wouldn’t lose his hidea that wasn’t regulation either, but Major Collins didn’t say anything about it." Color came into Butler’s face and he became angry, the kind of anger a man feels when he is placed in an impossible position. “Burkhauser does “ thing bls way; I do the same thing my way. And I have never felt the need to apologize for myself." "Let’s say no more about it,” Elizabeth said quickly. “I didn’t expect any extra help from Harry." Immediately she realized how this sounded. “Harry, you know what I mean!” “Yes," he said frostily. “Tm sure that you’d expect more from Burkhauser, were he in my place." "It seems," Caswell said, “that I have started something beyond my intention." “You’ve always been a heavy handed bungler." Butler said bluntly. "Why the deuce don't you stick to pills T" “Gentlemen, let’s not argue.” Elizabeth said. “I’ve never enjoyed having my short-comings pointed out to me” Hany Butler said. “I can bend a regulation once in awhile myself; I’m not that lacking in daring." He got up from the table and walked to the door, flinging it open. "Sergeant!" He waited there, his back toward them. “Harry, please don’t prove any-

Two Aufo Accidents In City Last Night Two Cars Reported As Badly Damaged Two property damage accidents occurred in Decatur Friday night causing considerable damage to two autos involved in one accident, while only little damage was caused to the vehicles Involved in the second mishap. Cars driven by Ronald D. Mossburg, 44, route one, Columbia City, and Virgil F. Bowers, 42, route two, Decatur, collided at the intersection of Monroe and 10th streets at 9:50 p.m. Mossburg stated that he saw the stop sign too late to stop due to the icy conditions of the roads and was struck by the Bowers auto.

Police officer Richard Mansfield estimated damages to the Garwood auto at $45 and no damages to the Wolfe car. Mexico City Gas Blast Kills Five MEXICO CITY (UPD — A gas explosion ripped through Mexico City’s swank La Ronda restaurant Friday night, killing five persons and injuring 21, four critically. Red Cross officials said one of the victims was an American woman who has not yet been identified. The other dead were Mexicans, including two members of the La Ronda band. The explosion, apparently caused by a blocked gas pipe in the kitchen, blew a gaping hole in the floor and knocked out a section of the front wall of the building.

tiling," Elizabeth said. “You don't have to. Not with me.” He looked at her. "Os course, but this is something I can’t tet pass. Believe me, Tm doing this more tor myself than for you." The sergeant came op then. Butler said, “In the morning, divide the men into two-man details. We’re staying here <me week I want enough timber fallen to raise another building in the spring." The sergeant looked at Doctor Caswell, then at Elizabeth. “Pardon me for askin’, sir, but la this a military matter?" “Darn you," Butler said, “you’d have never asked Finley Burkhauser that!” “Til see that the details are made up.” the sergeant said. “Will that be an, sir?" “Yes, until the work starts," he said, closing the door. Doctor Caswell studied his cigar, then stood up. “Time for me to tufn in," he said and gathered his hat and cape. After the door closed, Butler sat down. "I made an ass of myself, didn’t I?” “No," Elizabeth said, taking his hand. “Harry, you Just let Doctor Caswell chivvy you into something you know better than to do. Look at me, Harry. Do you think 1 ever minded you being so straight-laced and proper? 1 haven’t. Maybe 1 like it, Harry. More than I like Finley Burkhauser’s free-swinging ways." He shook his head. “You heard the sergeant. That’s the way it la Burkhauser can talk a bird out of a bush and make people like it. He’d have given the sergeant a pint of whiskey and that’s all there’d be to IL” He placed his hands flat on the table and pushed himself erect. “I think Til turn in. Thank you for the supper.” She went with him to the door and when he reached for the latch, she put her hand over his. ‘«Harry, you’re a nice man." “Am I, Elizabeth ? Do you like me, for what I am? Just as I am?” “Yea, Harry." She studied him carefully, saw the desire in his eyes and knew that he wanted to kiss her, but she also knew that he would not, and understood why. He was full of proper thoughts, and proper motives, and he tailored his life, his habits to them. They were alone, with the door dosed and any man would be justified in saying that he bad kissed her under these circumstances, and because of this, he hdd himself back, to be right while someone else was wrong. Biis was his way and she could admire him for it. “Goodnight," he said and took her hand briefly, then went out, “Yoe couldn’t live with a man like that!" Elizabeth is warned, as the story reaches £ UMHOfitttdJU dISOUKX itMttCWWg
