COLLEGE STREET, OXFORD, J. O. (By Mary Johnson) " Agnes Bradford had decided to ac j cept the invitation of her old friend j Agnes Vincent, who was now mar-! ried and living in the country. Be- fore her marriage they had been in- j separable, so much so that their! friends spoki jf them as Agnes the first and Agnes the second- Agnes the first Vmrl haatcn hot inhum n tin-. snores of matnmomny, though the race had started even. As Agnes leaned back upon the cushions of the seat watching the scenery slip by as the train sped her toward her chum her thoughts wandered back to the time when they were going with Fred and Jim. Her , chum Agnes had been rightly called "Agnes the first." for she was first in everything. Her thoughts drifted back to Fred, a quiet, studi ous fellow, who had the highest ideals of life. She had liked him very much; yes, she must have lov ed him, for she could not forget him eevn though she had not seen or heard from him for two years. Be ing rather quiet and unassertive herself, it was hardly to be wondered at that their friendship had not pro gressed beyond the friendship stage. She wondered' if Fred and Jim were still as chummy as they used to be. They were a strange contrast, Fred quiet and reserved, Jim brimful of humor, and, like Agnes the first, first in everything. Perhaps it was a case of where opposites attract to each other, for they had been as in separable as the two Agneses- Her destination was reached before her meditation had ceased. She found her chum Agnes the first at the station to meet her, looking as girlish and ready for a lark as ever. That she was welcome was very evi dent. Agnes the first plainly show ing her genuine delight upon seeing her old chum. This genuine wel come had the effect of making her feel glad she had come, glad to be with her again. It even dispelled her meditation of the past. She was agreeably surprised to see the cozy little home which her old chum was mistress of, also pleased to note the look of contentment up on her face. They had so many things to talk about that it was sup per time before they realized it As they were setting the table. Jim came hustling in. He was the same old Jim, as full of humor as ever. Somehow she had rather dreaded meeting him, he being so closely linked with the memory of Fred. But his way of making every one feel they had always known him quickly put her at her ease. He seemed in a terrible hurry to change his clothes,, claiming he had to go down to meet the evening train to see a man on business. While awaiting his return Agnes not? fed that the table had been laid for four. Before she had time to voice her wonder at the fourth plate Jim returned, triumphantly escorting Fred. The embarrassment of Fred and Agnes the second was mutual, but Jim did not give them time to let the embarrassment grow upon them. He urged them all to hasten with the supper, as he was going to take them down the bay in his new pow erboat. His enthusiasm was contagious, embarrassment being forgotten in the speeded-up meal. They were soon aboard the Trixie headed for the island, Jim and Agnes the first keeping the conversation from lag ging, yet in spite of their combined efforts Fred and Agnes the second seemed as bashful as of old. As they rounded the point of the island, the moon rose, a clear, full moon. Evidently Jim well remem bered the magical effects of a moon light night on the water with a girl. To give the bashful couple the full benefit of the beautiful spectacle of the moon rising out of the sea he had them climb up on the deck, and sit on top of the little cabin. It shut them off from the conversation, or rather the noise of the engine, but judging from the looks upon their faces neither seemed to mind. The moonlight sure was getting in its good work. Suddenly Agnes the second, in reaching for her handkerchief, some how slipped, and before Fred could catch hold of her had gone over board. Even before Jim could swing the boat around Fred had gone over the side after her. Jim's skillful maneuvering cf the boat soon rougafthe Trixie alongside the rucrglhig pair. Dropping the wheel nti'tT'1 th boh. Agnci the ionm co his aid in pulling the urenched couple aboard. Fred seemed none the worse for ins sudden plunge, but Agnes the second did not regain consciousness in spite of their combined first-aid treatment Jim gave his attention to the engine, getting all the speed there was in the Trixie out of her. to reach their landing and a doctor. He ran the boat right up on the beach, ordering Agnes the first to run a head to telephone for a doctor, while Fred and he carried the still uncon scious Agnes the second to the house It was while recovering from the eff C3 of he- almost fatal plunge ov;r-ar At ;he .had ho onpor f' -eai.. tfet equalled Vith Fred. That Fred had never given up the idea of some day winning her was proved by his still having the engagement ring which he had ex pected to give her when their friend ship had lagged. Before the doctor made his final visit she was wearing it upon her finger for which it was intended. Jim and Agnes the first promptly congratulated them,, then congrat ulated themselves upon their success in bringing them together. -The Postmaster-General has sent cut an order posting a standing re ward of $5,000 for "any postal em ploye or other person who brings in a mail robber." A life-sized status of "Devil Anse" Hatfield, carved in Carrara marble and portraying "Anse" stand ing bareheaded looking out over the mountains of his native state, will be erected on the site of his late home by relatives and friends. The Montana senate has passed a bill providing for a special tax of $3 annually on the bachelors resid ing in that state, the proceeds of the tax to be paid into the widows' pen sion fund. . s "IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF" OVER 33 YEARS OF SUCCESS IN BUILDING GOOD VEHICLES ASSURES IN THE GARDNER LIGHT FOUR A DEPENDABLE CAR, FREE FROM THE COST OF EXPERIMENT A BETTER CAR AT A LOWER PRICE.

It will be only a matter of weeks therefore, until a big surplus or orders will pre vent a 'ything like prompt deliveries.
