They haven’t eorne after me yet and they may not. I will go with him to Shelburn, but sweetheart don’t think I am doing this because I want to, for I would just as soon die. I am doing it to keep down trouble until we can make a break and get out of It. I know, Buddy, that if you care as much as I think you do you will see that I am right. Lay low awhile until it is over and then run up rome time in the day and we will talk this over. I will live right in town so I won't be hard to find, hut oh. Buddy, think what I'll go through with and don't get angry’ at me. Don’t Stop Loving Me Please, Buddy, don't stop loving me for I will do anything for you. I think I have news for you, but I don't know how it will please you. Well, honey, I have to quit now for she is nosing around. If you will write and tell me how to write I'll send your letters to Slim and they won't think anything about It. They won't bother you unless they just have to. With love, MABEL. Thursday. Well, Buddy’, I'm getting ready to go. but oh. Buddy, I wish you could come along and take me away to kill me. Write to me, honey, just Mabel Hale, Shelburn, Ind., and I’ll get it all right.
