Dream
By ELLA SAUNDERS

Their dream hr i . i,me true at Inst. i
John and Eleanor to ;it «•«<ti u *r
with etunleU eyes, as if uiiithli lo lie- j
lieve it. After two jcarx of rliv life—
hd apartment, nunk-M, but in quite a
nice dlitrict—they had their country
cottage.
The cottage they had always
dreatiinl of. ]t «„s John who had
found it. II wa« a little, old fall I
plaie with aliout lialf an jure of i:ar-
den, Just within ti. „
yet untouched hy inodcniitj There '
wus not even a bathroom when ihey i
rented it. Jottt had had thai put In. |
I he whole thing had baao a aurprlM i
to Eleanor.
She stood u in ons the hollyhocks
with iblnlni e\es. ''it srems too good
to ife trae," >h« said. "TIto dearest
place! John, won't we be happy I"
They were. Kleanor revelled in her
garden. John mowed the lawn ill the
evenings. They had no cares, no one
to bother them. In the evenings Klea-
DV sewed or read, while John, when
he was not detained at the otlice, as
frequently happened, went through his
uccountu and correspondence.
"We'll nave :iii the ezfienses «>f n
holiday now, dearest," laid John. "1
fhall simply kmxk off work for a
couple of weeks and stay here with
you."
That event hnppcned a few weks
after they had moved In. It was the
country, must we?"
Kleanor agreed without enthusiasm.
The spell of country life had taken
hold 01 her. But for John's sake —
It was si range being at the theater
ii-aln. 1 hey watched each other, each
at i aid or seeming too appreciative,
i bey dined Hi a fashionable restau-
rant.
"It Is nice In a way. Isn't it, ICIea-
nor?" said John. "Kut it doesn't come
up to the glories of sunset and dawn,
and the hum of the tree-toads, does
it V"
"N no," said Eleanor.
•She was so absorbed In her thoughts
that site did nut realize where they
were going until John helped her out
of the tail.
She stared about her. "\\ hy. Its our
old apartment house!'' she eielalmed
Without a word John led the way
into their Old apartment on the ground
Moor. Eleanor gasped, it was all fur-
uiahed—retdy for occupancy. She
looked at her husband, and a sudden
light came to her.
'Oil, darling!" she rrled.
"Did 1 guess right?"
"You did. Hut—but—"
"Well have our things sent out this
week, old oaken bucket and all. I ll
uttend to It. "You'll stay right here.
1 his Is where our real life begins."

latter part of August, scorching hot;
John sat In Ids shirtsleeves all day
under the big maples, going through
letters ami wishing that he had ids
Stenographer with him.
"John, deares said Eleanor, bend-
ing over him, "don't you tliluit you
ought to get a 111 lie exercise now that
you're free?"
I ve thought of that." nnswered
John, smoothing down his waistcoat.
"Trouble Is, there are no golf links
anywhere for miles around. I wish
some one would start some."
"lint, clearest, how about those nice
country walks we planned?"
Nothing against 'em," answered
John, "except that we've worn out the
country."
"Worn It out?" queried Eleanor.
Yep, thais what I said." John nn-
swered briskly. "We know all II,e
roads 'round here. We know Fanner

drlck s blue one. We know lhe pretty
cottage with the jasmine and honey
suckle at the bond of lhe road We
know—Oil, everything tiat s know-
able, Including..Mrs. Millers blear-eyed
kid that makes fares at us"
"Oil, 1 know. I know," said Eleanor
miserably. John was getting tired of
their dream, that was it,,, trouble.
That was why lie brought all liis work
home. John was moping.
"The clear, starry skies, the wonder
of lhe dawn, the sound of singing
birds, the music in eni h rill of water -
these were not for John. Eleanor
would be glad, for John's Sake, when
bis holiday came to an end.
Something seemed to lie coining be-
tween them that autumn. The old,
"wee! confidence seemed gone. Some-
times Eleanor would detect her bus
band sitting in his chair, staring
moodily at her. At such times her
heart would heat faster, and she
would Wonder:
Can there be any one else?"
One night she could beur It no
longer. "John, won't you tell me
what has come bet uteri us of late?"
®he begged. 'Is iheie- -Is I here some
one else? '
John kissed her s.nlly. "No, darling,
Just business troubles," he answered.
C'ould she believe him? Kleanor
looked j*t lilm doubtfully. After that
the shadow that had fnllpn between
them grew blacker and blacker.
"Dear, wluit'd >011 say to n little

asked, "just to keep in touch with

Car Shortage Worse.
The worst livestock car shortage In
the history of Oklahoma is declared
y Ait I.. Walker, corporation com
missioner, to be more acute than
it was a month ago, when emergency
efforts ol the commission to secure
for shippers began.
These efforts have not been futile
drouth has so increased demand lor
cars for movement of stock to places
where feed, water and shelter are
available, that it has been a physical
impossibility to meet the demand.
Added to the losses on livestock due
to the inability to secure transporta-
tion, traffic conditions affecting cot-
ton, cotton seed, hay and wain are
rapidly becoming involved, according
to information at the commission of-
flees.
In compliance with a demand of the
corporation, box cars with slatted
doors have been put in use for the
first time to transport much of the
stock being moved out of the drouth
stricken district The Katy and Rock
Island have oomplied with this sug-
gestion, but the Santa Fe and Frisco
have not yet done so.
Road Work To &e Assisted.
Twenty-five carloads of motor equip-1
ment aid miscellaneous material to
be used in highway construction in
Oklahoma are now in transit and will ;
be allotted to the counties in need of
equipment as soon as the shipments
arrive, it was said at the office of
the highway commission. This equip
ment was secured from the federal
government as the result of a trip I
which was made to Washington re-
cently.
J he highway men also secured per-
mission from the federal government
to sell at auction all material, such
as odd size tires, switch lights and
the like, which is not needed In state
work.
More than 600 trucks and 4# trao-
