Pittsburg Headlight: Here is the
latest swindle that is being worked
on the farmers. Swindler No. / calls
upon the farmer with patent wagon
tongue and informs him that he is on
his way home, having made a good
thing out of it, and has only this
county to sell. He tells the farmer
that he can have it for $3.50, and if he
wants it to write to him. In a few
DAYS along comes No. 2. He has heard
that the farmer has the right OF the
county for a patent wagon tongue,
and as he has once made good thing
out of it in Pennsylvania he wants to
buy the right of the county and offers
the farmer 800 for it and pays SO to
bind the bargain. The farmer writes
to No. and sends him a note for $3.50.
He never hears of either man again,
but his note comes up for collection in
a neighbOring town, and he is out $40.

it was evident enough that she has the
love of the pupils and the confidence
and respect of all the patrons. And
that these things are true explains
the fact that Rock Creek is one of the
best country schools in Allen county.
Mr.. ReabOut, the director, assisted
materially in the work necessary to
make the occasion a success, and the
visitors particularly are indebted to
him for many favOrs. Mr.. Willetts,
the photographer, with his assistant,
Billy Mcclure, were there and took q
group picture of the school. We want
to 90 out again next year.

them on her fiery young ''Steeldust'

Some of the boys went out after Doc
Mulligan one night last week. and from
oil can hear they run him through
night sweat and knocked him cut of
seven years growth.
Doc was born and brung up right
around here in the settlement, and he
use to be one Of the Rocky Greek boys
But be calls himself q doctor. In the
main time it would seem like Doc has
took up with the whole passel Of scol mo-
tions. He is smarter now than any
body in the acknowledgements than
his old mother and father and smarter
than an the preachers put together.
To hear him tell 1t. he don't believe In
the church, nor the Bible. nor religion.
nor sperits. and az for prayin. he lowed

And 80 consequentially the boys they
went out after Doc that night. II
mought not b right for me to tell

Stribblin and can give it to you N it
was give unto me.
There was four Of NJ in the crowd,
and when We rid OF every man had a
clean sheet tied up in . bundle snd
tucked under his arIn. When we got
down there to old Ebenezer church on
yonder side Of Panther creek We Ill dis
mounted and dressed out in white.
You nee, Doc Nulligan had went
over the creek lste that evenin to tend
some Of his sick, and we made our af-
rangements for him to fall in with four
ghosts right there ut tha graveyard.
We had notion that Doc mought may
be change his mind and Offer up .
prayer in case of . puahency. and we
wanted to see n he had forgot how to
approoch the Throne Of Grace.
Well, by and BY, along in the dead
hours Of night, here comes Doc. ridin

out of the woods and loped up behind
him. When Doc looked back and saw
what was comm he popped the spurs
toJim Brown and they went OF through
the swamp like . storm on wheels. We
give him . clost race for mile or 80.
and IL Doc didn't pray he tried his level

line. And a. near a. we could hear it

the black breast of the clouds, and
low rumblings of distant thunder
trembled upon the air. Nearer and
nearer came the omin0us roar, until
around bend Just above them q wall
of angry water swept, seething and
roaring in its fury.
"A cloudburst up the river!" said
Frank, as they sprang to their feet.
Now we will see q grand but fearful
sight, fur it's big one. See how it
tosses them big trees about on its
breast, as if they were straws!"
The flood swept down the channel,
rising almost to the level Of the high
bank on which they stood. Great bill
lows of muddy water pitched and rolled
and roared with angry voice, now
throwing aloft, now deeply subbmerg-
ing, the trunks of fallen trees grasped
up in its mad course.
The lovers stood and watched the
furious flood in silence. One Of his
strong arms instinctively encircled her
slender waist as if to shield her from
impending danger, although no danger
threatened them at the place where
they were standing.
THAT seems Jest like the love feel
fur you, Madge." he said. rs the wild tor
rent sped on. 1t is mad, uncontrclla-
BILE love, which nothing can tsay"
And love that would dare any
danger, you said," she replied.
81
She sprung from his side, and cast
ing the flower wreath far out on the
breast of the raging current, cried out:
Go get that wreath, and bring it
back and crown your queen!"
With bound he reached the side Of
his horse, sprang into the saddle. and.
striking the animal sharply with his
spurs, dashed on along the bank in
pursuit Of the wreath, now being
swiftly borne downward.
Her face turned pale as death, and in
terror she cried:
'Oh. Frank! come back-for Gods
sake, come back! / was only joking.
I never dreamed you would attempt 1t.
Come back! come back!"
But he heard her not. She saw him
leap from his horse away below, and
spring from the bank into the furious
flood. He disappeared, then rose to the
surface and struck out toward where
the wreath for a moment danced on
the crest OF billow. A floating log
swept over him, and = moment later
the terrified girl saw two arms thrown
wildly aloft, and then they disappeared
forever.
For years a thin. frail form, clad in
carelessly-arrangedg garments, has wan
dered up and down the shores Of the
Canadian, near the Coleman ranch. Her
long. black hair hangs in tangled masses
over her shoulders, and in her eyes
there is no gleam of intelligence. Up and
down. in summer and winter, she wan

often calling out, in piteous tones. the
