were on the original local pension hoard appointed at that time. To make the fund a lasting- and substantial one a I 111 that would meet the requirements of all the teachers was drawn up and subsequently passed by the legislature. According to the specifications in this bill each fdcher wno pledged herself to membership was required to pay $100 as her Ehare of the entire fund. Ihi.i amount could be paid either in payment or In all at any time before the end of live years, the time in v.h:ch the fund was to be given to accumulate. IWore the expiration of that time no amount of money nulfi be drawn out because of disability, nor retirement. The pension offered many advantages though the yountrer teachers were not enthusiastic about them. They frit that the time when they would he able t' withdraw their share was too far distant to

t f any great benefit to them. They felt, too. that in J

, h end they might loose altogether what money they had contributed. The law applied to the local teachers until Just this last year when the Indiana State Teachers IUtirerient law went into effect and the board decided to merge its local unit into that of the f-tate. They vcre assured by doing Ihis of- always beinir able to

For the first 15 years of service members are required to pay $x0; for the next 10 years of teaching, $20 per year Including up to the 40th year, which means that If a teacher is in service longer than 40 years no assesment will be collected beyond that period. In case of death or accident the direct heirs of the member are to receive the um paid in. The amounts of pensions given are $600 for 35 years of service, $62 0 for 36 years; $6 40 for 37 years; $6 60 for 3S years; $fjS0 for 2'J years; $700 for 40 years.

One particular clause was the one Vhich Called for the turning over of all funds that any local board meririnpT into the state, had to its credit at the time Of its entrance to the state pension system Kach of the older teachers had paid $100. some of them J125, into the old fund and that money is to be entirely '.ost to them.

ing mate. Bruce glanced up the other road. Many a time he had loitered there waiting for Nance Gaily to come along on her way to school. What had they cared for feuds in those days! She was eIx, he barely ten. Resting now In his saddle, while the captain copped the sweet clover and sorrel by the roadside, he remembered the day of

their great quarrel. He had called her redhead on the way home from

school, because she had walked with

her cousin Wallace instead of him.

There had been a tight and Wallace,

a strapping, black-browed youth of

roused him from reverie. It was Nance. She rode her eorrel mare like a boy, her short curls flying In the morning breeze. As she rode, she was tinging Dixie at the top of her lungs, until she caught sight of the eilent horseman, and stopped short. Bruco'raised his cap In neighborly greeting noting approvingly the vivid beauty of her young face and sparkling eyes. "Good morning. Miss Nance," he said. "It seems like old times to be waiting here for you. You're looking mighty well." She tossed her head In quick resentment. T reckon you can keep your compliments to home. Bruce Farraday. We ain't askin anythin from any cf you In the complimentary line" She rode on, never looking behind .The color rose dully in Bruce's face, as If she had elapped him, and his lips set tightly.

"You've got to step lively ard look both ways at once." said sister Belle, when the campaign was In full swing, "but, goodness, Bruce, it does seem splendid to have a Farraday fighting for his own again. If you let that snake Wallace Gaily win, I'll never speak to you again. Nance Is holding her head so high, her neck's stiff. I heard it said down in the village that she'd promised Wallace t-he'd marry him. if he beat you election time." Bruce looked at her oddly. "I don't see what she's got against me," he said. "You don't? Well, you're a Farraday for one thing, and for another you called her redhead, and the name stuck to her. She'll never forgive you for either one." "You know It seems so queer," Bruce said, "to come back here and find all these foolish backwoods notions holding the people like laws. Of course, I want to win the election, but I haven't anything special against Wallace, except that he did me up once in a boy fight, and I would like a few fair rounds with him eometime on the quiet." "You'll never beat him by fair means." Helle returned. "There are only 23 4 votes in the section, and nearly every able-bodied man in the lot depends on work through the winter up in the Gaily lumber camps. If they don't vote for a Gaily, they lose their chance." The next day there was a conference between Bruce and Matt Crawford. Briefly Bruce outlined his plan of action.

Any store can sell cheap, carelessly built Home Furnishings at a low price. And any store can sell high grade merchandise at a fancy price. So no credit is to be attached to either of these types of stores. They are merely doing the usual thing the thing that anyone can do and their courses are soon run. But when a Home Furnishing establishment is built up which has for its foundation the sound business policy of giving the Highest Quality at the most reasonable Price, that establishment achieves enduring success. Such a Success is that of the Ries Co. Our association with the largest Furniture buying syndicate in the world a syndicate which, instead of ordering one or two items from a manufacturer, takes up his entire output enables us to buy Quality goods at Quantity prices, which we in turn pass on to our customers good furniture at the right price.

the votes were counted in the little room back of the pestoffice, old Judge Pinkus stroked his Vandyke happily. "I reckon you're beaten Wally," he remarked through the little glass grating at tho stamp window. Nance heard the words, too, as ehe stood by the window. With a muttered oath, her coufcin rushed past her out into the little square where men were cheering for a Ferraday. Blind with fury, he shot out his f.st at Bruce, but fell as Bruce caught him on a counter blow on the point of the chin. Nancy laid her forehead on her arms as she saw the finish from the window. But oddly enough fhe was not crying. It was only to hide from the curious the look of Joy on her face. She was glad, glad that. Bruce had won.

A minute more, and he was beside Nance, where she stood apart from the others. "Can I help you on your hor?e?" he asked. "I'm going to you home." Nance lifted her tear-wet face to hi. capitulation in her eye.. "I'm mlerhty K'.ad you won, Bruce." was all she said.
