The ;igoi y of the girl as she wit nessed the great suffering her revela tion hail brought about was terrible to behold. Our l'eurl writhed in h* r do pair. Married only a few hours, here the young couple were facing a crisis upon which till their "future happiness depended. Already the matrimonial sea was tossing their frail bark to ward the rocks. “You say,” muttered our Jimp through tight lips and tear-dimmed eyes, "that you are reducing? You are dieting?" “Yes,” sobbed the young wife. am ovrrweigbi.” Our Jimp loved our Pearl so well he could not endure Iwr suffering. Tnkirg the drooping form of his love ly young wife in his strong arms tie whispered into her dusty ear, “Don’t worry, darling. Perhaps there is a way to reduce without dieting. “f know of none." wept tlie girl up on h’s manly shoulder. “F know of one,’ smiled the af fectionate husband. "Eat what yon please now. When we are settled only rented it.’ Well, our Jimiy was? a man who knew iTgtn from, wrong. Me realized ' it really must have been valuable chicken.-* So he left.

In fact, it was plain because they were married in a plane. That was Jimp’s idea. He realized itort young couples were up in the air anyway. Why not lie married in a plane? So they were. Now, after coming down to earth and buying an auto, Onu-omy, Ohio, 1 : coined far away because it wan. The road suddenly' became rough. Great hole? appeared in ihe paving as Jimp iand Pearl bounced along. They knew by that that a town was near. Soon they pulled tip before a big hotel, registered and were shown t > thi ir rooms. "Gee!’ exclaimed Jimp. “I’m tired out." He threw himself across the bed. Pearl powdered her nos<j, knock, wus beard ai the door. ‘ “Come inside,” said Jimp, thinking it was the boy with the ice water. * Hi surnriate was stupendous when ’he saw his mistake. It wasnt ice water. It was unother kind of a chaser. This other kind of a cTThser, wan Detective Ghru: himself. He enicred and Pearl’s father followed. “I got you now,” screamed the angry parent, drawing his pistol and aiming at his daughter’s husband. is the eye could see the road was run- 1 pin* along. , What an umbitious road! Novel Content with running in c$k* direc tion, it ran in both directions. hJimp looked up the road. Yes, u r^n that way. He looked down iho road. Yes, it ran that way also. puzzled, he stopped the car at a madhouse. A big sign out front raid, “Chicken Dinner.” The sign vtas much larger that that, but space prohibits its exact repro duction.

The s^gns nt curves and narrow bridges telpthe tourists to drive slow, or slowly, fc^cordinflf tp the extent of their education. The danger! signs .before some road houses should tell tourists to drive i fast, or faster, according to the ex tent of their finances. But, as wfk’said. Jimp topped at this roadhouse, to inquire about the , road. “Whicff way gjoes this road fun?” he asked/ . "Doesn’t run n't all. Stays right t here,” replied the fellow. ■ “I know it goes to the next town.” Said our Jimp, speaking slowly with his mouth opening ipifl closing, “Perhaps it does,’* |uid,the fellow. "And,’’.continued rtur Jimp in Eng lish, “it also goes to the last town We passed.” “It’s ‘PerhapB,” said thg fellow always going to one town or the other. I’ve been righC'hd^e on it 40 years. It hasn’t left yet.” "Buy me. a, chicken dinner,” said Pearl, because she was Jimp's wife now and almost’ all wresf eat at times. I “I'll be glad to,” smilpd. our Jimp, because they had just l>«h married a few hours. “Will one lie enough?’’ “Oh,” laughed Pearl, “I am posi tive one chicken dinner will bo a great sufficiency for pie.” Yet, -eh? ap- . geared flustered.' “Why do you appear so flustered?)' ( asked her fond husband. “I do not appear flustered/’ "You do so. • I noticed it m^flulf. Even if I Hadn’t, I would have rg.ad it in the third paragraph above this ' ' Looking back over the paragraph ! mentioned our Pearl realised she reoflv had appeared flustered. 'I; “Jimp." said the lovely girl, must tell you something.” “PheKse do” v * * "l have frjed- W tell you several times, Jimp, t just couldn’t. I should have told you before we left Omem diy, Ohio; it’s so terrible. I know you'll hate me.” "Nothing could make me hate you, parting,” said our ,Jimp, pitting his ’ P«w wife dn her plump Hhoul .. - • town I will do the cooking. No mw'-i e'r what 1 cook it'll reduce* youi i weight." “Do you think so?” Mailed the wife through tear-dimmed eyes. "Yes, l believe so. And, if that ioesn’t work, 1 know another way. We’ll quit paying our grocery bill. The grocer will stop selling us gro ceries. In that, way we both will re duce.” Thus the cloud was lifted. The young people were happy once more. "Where is that chicken dinner?'* laughed Pearl. Arm in arm our Jimp and our Pearl entered the dining room. The place was furnished in antiques. The clock in the Corner had stood there with its hands beforo its face for hundreds of years. The chairs had sat around with their arms at their sides for hundreds of years. But the most antiquated antique was the chicken. Our Jimp and our Pearl wrestled with the aged rooster until two of the three were exhausted, the fowl alone retaining its former pep and elasticity. One could imagine a ghostly crow as our Jimp and our Pearl arose from the table defeated. The chicken din ner had won every round. “Well,” said Jimp weakly, "we’ll take Jus here chicken dinner with us and try it again tonight.’ “Sorry,” said the fellow. “It can’t be done." "Anyway,” raid our Jimp, “wt'll try it.” "I mean,” sail! the fellow, “you can’t take that dinner away.” “1 can,” said Jimp. “I«, s mine. 1 bought it'.” “No,” said the follow. “You didn't buy that chicken dinner." “Why didn’t 1 buy that chicken din ner?” asked Jimp. "I paid you five dollars for the *,vo of us.” “True,” said the fellow. “You pain me five dollars. Do you think I could sell chicken like that for five dollar;, ? You didn't huy that chicken. You » LOOK OUT 4 for Me One leap and .limp was across the room, lit' placed his finder over the hole hi the barrel of the pistol so the bullet, couldn’t come out. “Remove your finger so I cun shoot," screamed the foiled parent. “1 refuse,’ cried Jimp. And he had refused just in time. Because now t,his. great novel is continued until Wednesday. (To Be Continued) What we want to get some infor mation about has to do with some sensible way to avoid this dilemma and the commissioners ought to strive earnestly to that end. It is not at all that we are blaming the commissioners of this county for raising the taxes. They are under compulsion to <an what the ’people want done about these things. \ How Dors Forsyth I)o It?

The asses sables in this county next year are expected to reach to $17o. 000,000 and, while we do not have the assessable* for Forsyth counry at our command, we doubt if they amount to a figure as large as these applying to Meeklenburg county. It might be interesting and infori 1 ing for the county commissioners to write over to Winston-Salem, or bet ter still, take a ride over there, in order to ascertain how they manage to keep the rate down in Forsyth so much lower than the- commissioners of this county can keep it down here. They could ask some pertinent questions in the event they should make such a trip. For instance, it might be inquired on what basis property is assessed r. that county, for one thing. Then they might ask what propr r tion of the assessables for tiie entics county are on the tax hooks. It would be interesting also0.0 find out how Forsyth county is .buildii cr its new court house, whether with bonds, by sale of some property o ' taking the amount necessary. out of the current fund. Several questions like these would throw materially informing light on the situation as regards the compar ative taxation methods in the two counties, the foremost in the State nnd the two wealthiest.
