Go, seek him. gentle winds so free,
and kiss his smiling eyes for mel" she
murmured softly, with last glance over
the trees toward the home of handsome
Percy Grey, her escort from the evening
concert, her prime favorite among the
beaux of Lakeville.
Not that Percy was either an avowed
or accepted lover. No; popular gossip
awarded Ransom Clarke precedence in
the race for the love and fortune Of the
village belle. With a memory of Percy's
gentle adieu at the garden gate, how
ever, of her acceptance of his COM
pany for the Fourth, of his fond plea for
the bit of blue ribbon at her bonny
throat, the fair young girl blushed hotly
as she waited kiss toward his home.

KANSAS CHAUTAUOUA,

DR.. J. F. Berry, of Chicago, lectured
at Oakland park, to the Epworth league
on the subject "What are we for?" DR..
Berry was somewhat weary with travel
ing and otherwise indisposed, but spoke
without apparent effort, and was lis
tened to with close attention. He is at
the head of the Epworth league of the
United States and bis whole heart is in
the work.
At the close of DR.. Berry's lecture
the members of the Epworth league
held a meeting in the auditorium. Mr..
F. D. Fuller stated the object of the
meeting to be to take steps to express
themselves as regards the coming OF
Bishop Vincent to Topeka, it having
been understood that the bishop has
some hesitancy in coming here.
On motion, F. d. Fuller was elected
president and Mr.. Holcomb secretary.
A committee of three was appointed to
draft suitable resolutions expressing
the pleasure of having him in our midst,
and extending to him hearty welcome.
The committee is Messrs. Fuller, Bair
and Markham. A committee of three,
consisting of Messrs. Elliot and Brumitt
and Miss Troutman, was also appointed
to draft resolutions expressing regret at
the departure of Bishop Ninde from
Topeka.

Post Dedication.

curing the past winter Topeka post
has held some very interesting camp
fires and entertainments, but the crown
ing effort of the post was the dedicatory
exercises. The commodious and ele-
gantly furnished hall was filled with
members of the Grand Army and their
families and friends.
The opening address of welcome was
delivered by Colonel George W. Veale
and was very happy effort. Captain
Joseph G. Waters delivered an address
on "Then and Now" 1t was to be ex-
pected that he would stir up the boys
in contrasting the old army days with
the present time, but the captain really
surpassed all previous campfire efforts
on this occasion. Captain Lewis Han
back took "Reveille to Taps as the
subject of his address, and awakened
the memories of his hearers as he alone
can.
The balance of the programme was
devoted to recitation, music and song.

Accident Insurance Frauds.
The superintendent of insurance has
received many inquiries regarding the
standing of accident insurance compa-
MES doing business in Kansas.
There are a number OF ass essrant
accident insurance companies doing an
Underground" business in this state
that could under no circumstances be
admitted to Kansas. They food the
state with circulars, offering a policy
agreeing to pay large idemnity in
case of accident at a very small premi-
um, and there are a number of persons
who have patronized these concerns to
their present sorrow.
These companies have no capital and
very meager assets and can not be sued
in this state. The payment of loss or
damages is optional with them. as
judgment can rarely be collected.
There is no need Of patronizing these
worthless concerns, for the superintend-
ent of insurance has issued certificates
of authority to eight regular stock &C
cident companies that have large paid
up capital and who can be sued in the
Kansas courts.
Every company that is authorized by
the superintendent of insurance is COM
PEELED to file power of attorney ap-
pointing the superintendent Of insur-
ance of the state of Kansas to accept
service of summons upon the company.
The worthless accident policies are
generally disposed of to the poorer
classes, who can the least afford to be
swindled.
The superintendent of insurance
would take it as favor to be notified
whenever any agent of these unauthor-
lied companies solicits business, SO that
he can institute proceedings against
them if this underground insurance
business is not broken up.

The number of letters in her name!-the
rockets fired surely from the Grey
grounds-by his hand-and, wonder of
wonders! each and all reaching their
zenith, burst into a bewildering dazzle
of bright blue light!
Oh. had it come to this-had her tell
tale face told Percy that she would be
sitting alone at midnight thinking Of
him? Blue! Why, that was her favor
lite color"-the hue of the bright bit Of
ribbon the gallant Percy wore on his
lapel, a souvenir, guerdon, blue as
her winsome eyes, true as his loyal
heart! She loved, was loved in turn!
With sob of half shame, half delight,
Eunice Alden buried her happy face in
her snowy pillow and dreamed Of the
love that was born, nurtured, and
bloomed on that joyous eve of the
Fourth Of July.

State Senator Joshua Newcomb deep in

pous and perspiring, in the chairman
seat; free lemonade, bunting galore,
merriment, pop and peanuts, and every
body bubbling over with love Of country
and happiness-except Eunice.
Poor Eunice! The day had dawned
with her neart beating rapidly. and here,
half gone, all the glamour, joy and hope
Of love seemed dashed out cruelty from
her sunny life. True-blue had turned
to perfidious black, and, as the hours
went by, anxiety gave place to humilia-
ton, and this to despair.
Her chosen escort had not called at
the house. as promised. She proceeded to
the grove. He was not there. What
did it mean An affront? Her heart
beat painfully. Pride reused her from
apathy. Jealous eyes should never see
ner secret! She had but to choose her
company, and midday found her on the
arm of a man she secretly despised,
with all his wealth and assumption
Ransom Clarke-gay, to all outward
seeming, as the gayest, yet at soul a
