landlord TO bite off the sentence thus
abruptly. "GeS yourself yonder." he
added, and wait till l come Quick!

He pushed Nathan into a dark hall
on enc side of the room, leaving the
door open several indhes, and from this
place of cOncealment the lad saw the
new arrival enier the tavern.
This individual would have attracted
attention in any surroundings, and was
as likely to excite mirtlh as respect. His
age was about so, and his tall, lean fig
ure was dressed in rusty broadcloth,
black hose and a gray cooked hat. He
wore a fiaxen wig and a steel watch
chain with seals dangling from his
waistcoat. His face was smooth and Of
a parchment co,or, his nose abnormally
large and his eyes small and piggish
He had long white fingers, and he snap
ped them nervously as he nodded with
an air OF condescension to the land
lord.
Good evening, sir" he SAID In ia
oily voice. 81 would have a pot of your
best brew, and an ounce OF mid to-

replied jenkins, who was by no means
faNJrably Impressed with his customer.

my good friend? Here is some," tap
ping his breast p ct, "but the salt air
has quite destroyed it's flavor"
You have lately crossed, then?" ask
ed jenkins who was always on the alert
for news, and scented a present oppor-
tunity.
But this day l arrived from England
ON the packet boat Bristol" replied the
stranger, "and right glad was | to put
foot on solid ground. Thank you my
friend" he added, as Jenkins placed be-
fore him a tankard of ale and a twist OF
tobacco. And now might make bold
to ask little information Of you?"
Depends on what it is" growled Jen-
k.ns, his suspicious suddenly awak-
AT fss$ssssag harmful sir; quite the
contrary. Does not my face inspire
confidence? Then you shall have my
name. 1t is Mr.. Noah Waxpenny, and
I have the honor to be confidential clerk
to the firm of SharSwood & Feeman,
solicitors, Linco,n's Inn, London"
TITS no odds to me If you were the
king himself" imprudently replied
Jenkins.
"Ha, very clever! A neat joker
laughed Mr. Waxpenny. God save
King George, and all his loyal sub
jects."
Amen to THAR exclaimed the land
lord. And God forgive the liel' he
added to himself.
Mr.. Waxpenny chuckled and half
emptied the pewter at draught. Then
he leaned towards jenkins in a conf

were of so startling nature that Ma

FAINT sen, Godfrey. Mrs. Spencer wore
mourning for her husband who mad
died recently. The merchant engaged
in business, and prospered sufficiently
to keep his little family in comfort and
give his grandson thorough educa-
ton.
To college went Godfrey in due
course, and here he and Nathan were
classmates for nearly year after the
beginning OF the Revolution, during
which period they formed warm boy
ish friendship. On one occasion while
sTlmming in the Delaware, Nathan
risked his life ito saveGodfrey from
drowning. But the growing animosi-
ties of the war finally began to draw the
lads apart, for Gcdfrey's mother and
grandfather were Tories. In the spring
of 1777 Matthew Marsham died and
Mrs. Spencer removed with her son to
Long Island, where she had friends liy-
ing.
IL was this past comradeship-so
strangely recalled tonight-more than
of his errand, that Nathan was sadly
thinking as he kept on his way down

serrupted Nathan. why don't you
commence by being grateful to your
country"
The other flushed, and for a few en-
barrassing seconds nothing was SAID.
Standing together in the stream of yell
low lamp-light, the two lads looked
strangely alike, a resemblance that 9TH
ers had frequently observed. They
were of the same build and height, and
mad the same general features. COD
frey Spencer was older by year, Win
hack ewes and hair; Nathan'S eyes and
hair were deep brown.

Godfrey finally said.
Nathan nodded. when did you

with dispatches for General Clinton.
You know l went with my mother 10
Long Island, and there l enlisted IN a
Tory regiment. I was promoted 20
lieutenant month ago, and now Major
Tangdon. who is stationed here, has
promised me a place on his staff" The
last words were spoken with evident
pride.
"Pm sorry for YOU" said Nathan. II

I truly hope. for the sane of Old times
that you won't get shot. l mus go

Disregardtng the others appeal to re-
turn. Nathan walked rapidly down the
street ignorant of the fact-as was Cod
frey-that a British officer had been
vatching both lads closely from the
en- and lighted window of the house
they were standing in front OF.
The officers quarters were IN that
Rouse. and now he leaned from the win
dow-a handsome, but sinister looking
man of about forty, with clean-shaven
face. "Who Yves that lad, Spencer he
demanded.

Godfrey reluctantly picked up the
note. and Major Langdon opened the
door to admit him.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
THE PRESIDENTIAL RICE.

Since the first election bulletin
came over the wire early Nednes
day morning the republicans claim
to have carried the day. They
started in with Il sure thing Of 3l2
votes iii the electoral college. But
at the hour Of going to press ali
they dare lay their hands on is
243 and are grudgingly giving up
vote after vote as the out lying
precincts Of the states sweep away
the majorities on which they had
builded their hopes. Undoubted-
ly the election is close bat the
democratic national committee
still claim that the people have by
their vote decreed that Bryan is
the next president and none Of
their trickery can change the re-
suit. Chairman Jones, chairman
of the national committee at
Chicago, as late as yesterday
claimed 232 with encouraging re-
ports still coming in.

In THE goveromnnt report for
October the yield of wheat for
Minnesota is given at 44,800,000
bushels; North Dakota, 25,000,000
and South Dakota, 25,862,0O0. In
1895 the figures were; Minnesota
Is, 5S4, l65 bushels; North Dakota,
6l,057,7l bushels; South Dakota,
29,26l,C6 bushels. Minnesota's
yiels Of corn is given at 36,l2S,O0O
bushels in 1895. The aggregate
yield Of corn for the country is
given at 2.15l, 149,590 bushels last
year. 1t is the judgment of many
observers that the government
figures this year are too small, and
that the yield is close to 2,50O,000,-
900 bushels.

FUTURE OF WHEAT Z.

The advance in wheat came sud-
denly and the public was not i'll il
but they are getting there gradu-
ally and we look for q large specu-
lative market after election. The
situation on wheat is bullish but
we have probably had all the adj
vance and more too than is justi-
fed at the present time, as the de-
mand for cash wheat las entirely
ceased says Lindbloom Il Co. The
same well known Chicago firm
which has Tor many months de-
clared that no considerable perma-
nent rise in wheat can be expected
until silver is coined as standard
money. says in their Trade Bulle-
tin of Oct. "a, that the India
movement Was fake, but that
India will buy largely Of our corn,
the naturalfood Of the natives
Events justified The ridicuIc OF
the sensational advance in wheat
OF ten cn;lis, and the nonsense
spread broadcast to influence
prices. No Legitimate consider
ations would put wheat up ten
cents i'll four days and down eleven
cents III two days.
Primary receipts OF wheat are
exactly the same RS last week. tx
ports are 1913 900 less. The visible
supply should increase about two
million bushels against 1890. 900
las; year. From now on visible
supply figures will be Lullish as
compared with last year, and by
Jan. LIST the visible supply will be
ten million less than ~ year ago.

THE ST.ATE REPUBLICAN,.

Not until today were the demo-
Gratis and Independents willing to
concede to the republicans the
winning Of North Dakota. Late
returns show that both the presl-
Dental electoral vote and the state
ticket can now safely be placed Ill
that column. Until more detail
is at baud to show the various
majorities it cannot he determined
how close the results are, but close
it most certainly is.
In raference TO his own chances
for state treasurer Mr.. ALERT con-
cedes the reelection OF State
Treasurer Nichols with the re-
mainder of le state ticket. He is
greatly pleased with the handsome
majority accorded him here in
Cavalier county and considers that
the non-s success Of the fusion state
ticket can in n great degree be
attributed to the light vote
polled i'll the outlying precincts
over the state on account of the
bad weather, prior to and ON the
.day of election. Mr.. ALERT got q
splendid vote in Grand Forks and
in that county leads his ticket. In
Pembina and Walsh counties
rousing democratic majority is as
surred followed by Towner and
Rollette with fusion majorities of
100 and 200 respectively. These
however, are more han hidden
from view by the tide Of repubIi-
can votes from Cass, Trail, Barnes
Richland and the Missouri slope
and it is safe to concede that North
Dakota has landed in the republi-
can column with a majority rang
ing 5000 to 5000. Mr.. ALERT
states that dissappoiptmentis gem
orally expressed by the fusion can
didates at the smallness Of the
majorites received in the counties
that Were considered to be quite
safe. Personally he is more than
satisfied with the efforts put forth
by his friends for his election and
accepts the result good na,uredly,
confident that il the republicans
had not pat up IL job with the
weather clerk that the strength
OF the free silver vote would
have been 50 largely shown at the
polls that the entire ticket would
have proven a wilDer.

RAISE IN FREIGHT R.ATES.

The western roads have an
nounced a raise of two cents per
bushel in wheat rates to take effect
Nov. End, urging rs ;, reason that
with seventy cent wheat in Chicago
the shippers will stand it. 1t IS
difficult to see what else the ship
pers can do about ii, whether they
like it or not, their wheat must be
shipped. This basty action Of the
railroads shows how anxious and
ready they are to follow the mar
ket, when it is rising, and they see
the traffic will bear IL higher rate.
Ii they were as quick TO follow a
downward tendency there would
be much less complaint against
railroad extortion, but to do so
would not be in accordance with
their ideas OF business. The fact
of this advance III rates rather
punctures the claims that the re-
cent rise was all going to the far
laers, that is not going to happen
ii the powers HOW epthroned can
prevent it. Then agaii. there is no
certainty that the price OF wheat
will be 70 cents in Chicago when
the proposed rate is to take effect.
If it is not it will be interesting to
note whether the roads will think
the shipper "will stand it, and
make the advance anyhow. Rail
roads have been telling their en-
ployes that if prices rise it will
make no difference, they cannot
raise their rates, which are held
down law, hence no raise in wages
can be expected. 1t would bo in
teresting to hear from railroads on
this point.

INFORMATION received from
Winnipeg shows that the wheat
crop there is not threshing out as
we'll as expected and that the crop
will be IA, 100000 bushels, against
100000 bushels last year. The
total wheat crop in Ontario will be

Canada will have to import wheat
