MADISON LAKE.
The Fourth Celebrated in an Old
Fashioned Way.

The Fourth was recognized in a
most patriotic manner at the little
village of Madison Lake. The early
morning hours found crowd of at
least 1900 people upon the streets, all
bent upon contributing to the patri-
otto sentiments Of the day.
The procession, headed by the
Eagle Lake band, formed on the
street in front of the hotel and was
made up of members of several frater-
nal societies, among which were the
Odd Fellows, Woodmen and Hiber-
mans. In a or owe near the lake
seats had been arranged for goodly
number of people, and here the
speaking occurred. Attorneys Ham
mond, of St. James, and Daley, of
Mankato, were the orators, and they
both did themselves and the occasion
proud. Everybody was good natured
and enthusiastic and the day passed
pleasantly and without incident to
mar the pleasure of those present.
Point Pleasant was the rendezvous
of large number of Mankato people,
and everybody had most delightful
time. Mr.. Barclay had his 'tobog-
gan slide" in ship-shape and it az
forded much amusement for on
lockers as we'll as to the 'sliders. !"
Mrs. Barclay provided her guests
with all the comforts necessary or
required, and those who were so for
tunate as to get out of the heat and
dust of the city were truly fortunate.
The evening at the lake and on the
Point was spent in witnessing the fire
works and enjoying a dance.

Noting Sonntag's surprise at my
words. l explained the reason OF my
outburst-how Jackson had of late
changed his opinion of my innocence,
and how Florence had made compact
with him, and the certainty he seemed
to feel that she would be compelled to
redeem her promise.

why did you call the station-agent
Hunter" asked Sonntag.
Because he told me that was his
name," 1 replied.
Indeed! What could he have told
you that for, wonder? His name is
not Hunter; it's Skinner"
cit is? Well, that's odd. Why should
he wish to conceal his real name from
me?"
HIN! can't say, I'm sure" replied
Sonntag. dryly. "But 1 am delighted
beyond measure to hear what you have
told me concerning Jackson" he ex-
claimed. with more enthusiasm than
he had ever displayed.

me; the bare suspicion has been enough
for me to endure. do not know that
I would care very much for a seeming
proof of guilt to be found against me.
You do actually seem pleased" I re-

is most important bit of news" Som

'Why is it important, and to whom?"

Every important to me, but more to
yourself"
"No; stay and explain" I called to
him as he went out the door; what
do you mean?"
Haven't moments time. Must go.
I mean that most probably the cloud
which has enveloped your name will be
lifted shortly. Do not cut into the eel

Saying this, my lawyer departed.

could discover. He had vanished COM
pletely. His sudden disappearance
puzzled me.
1 soon gave up the search, put the pis-
toll in my pocket, and started briskly up
the road toward the Morley place.
If the station agent was such des-
perate fellow as to draw and shoot at
word, what could Florence have to do
with him?
It was strange that Sonntag should
know the fellows right name and not
know the danger attendant on calling
him by it. My lawyer had seemed sur
prised when I stated that the fellow
had told me his name was Hunter. In
all probability Sonntag had addressed
him by the name of Skinner many
times. and the fellow had not resented
it. or the lawyer would have mentioned
the fact. Why, then, should he resent
in so fierce and deadly manner my use
of his right name?
Perhaps Florence could tell me some
thing about Mr.. Hunter. or Skinner. At
least it was right I should warn her
against him.
With these thoughts fitting across
my mind, I soon arrived at the Morley
home, and, entering the gate, went up
the long graveled walk Before an OPP
portunity was allowed me to ascend
the steps leading to the piazza, my name
was called.

THAT SLICE OF WARM BREAD

Coming home from the Office. its cares and
it's worries,
Weighing me down with burden to-
night,
thought Of my care-free and foricsome
boyhood,
And how quickly the years Intervening
took fight;
All! well remember no chain could have
AS home from the schoolhouse my eager
feet sped.
Would now that my dining brought such
satisfaction,
AS the thought Of that slice OF my
mothers warm bread.
No business transaction. however success
Can give such a thrill of unalloyed bliss
AS felt when mother. with 1imitless kind
Laid that great snowy slice in my little
brown fist.
No rhythmical wording can ever describe
it;
Or no sweeter ambrosia the gods ever
fed;
The future had need of no optimist's
glasses,
While 1 held in my brown fist that slice
of warm bread.
Oh. often when closing my desk for the
evening,
Where the roar of the city browns each
homely sound:
l imag CINE myself at the old country home
stead,
Where the daisies are sprinkling the soft
grassy ground:
And l hear in the pasture the clear tink
ling cow-bellS,
And know to the brooks limped pools
they have fled:
I am once again sitting, a little brown
rascal,
Munching away at my slice Of warm
bread.
While under the apple trees out in the
orchard,
The white calves are playing at bump,
with the brown,
And the birds are a-twitter preparing for
night time,
Busily feeding their babies of down.
Oh, never those memories life'S hurry and
hustle
Can ever efface. till the grave hides my
head
No pleasure Of life e'er excel or quite equal
The wealth of content in that slice of
warm bread.

CHAPTER XII.

I stood for some time gazing at the
door through which Mr.. Sonntag had
gone. Amusement held possession of
me. A thousand and one questions
whirled through my head.
But my lawyer had departed. final
ly strobe to the window in the hope of
finding him within hailing distance.
He was far down the Twineburgh
road, too far to call him.
1 saw him pull up his horse and lean
forward and address a man who had
approached him from the opposite di-
rection.
The conversation lasted but minute,
and then horseman and pedestrian each
went on their several ways.
When the pedestrian drew nearer I
saw it was Hunter, the station agent at
Sidington, or, as Sonntag had informed
me, Skinner. 1t seemed very odd that
he should have assumed another name
Then my eye caught the glimpse of q
horsewoman coming down the road
from the direction of the Morley resi-
dence. 1t needed but that glimpse to
tell me that it was Florence. She was
coming toward the house, perhaps to
see me.
When she reached the cross-road lead
ing to Sidington and Twineburgh, up
which the man Hunter was approach
ing, she refined up her horse.
When the fellow came up to Florence,
1 was surprised to see him stop and en-
gage her in a conversation which last
ed some minutes and appeared to be
rather earnest, judging by the way
Florence leaned down toward him.
Finally the young woman turned her
horses head and galloped back in the
direction she had come.
The station agent watched her re-
treating form, then slowly began to re-
trace his steps. He had gone but
short distance when he stopped and
| looked toward my house, then again
turned and came back.
1 watched him from behind the cur
tains. AS he approached near I saw
his clothing was wet and bedraggled,
which plainly showed that he had been
out in the recent shower.
He came up to the house in hesitat-
ing way, glancing all around furtively,
and was about to pass up into the yard,
when I leaned from the window and
hailed him.
''Halloo, there! what's up? What do
you want?" demanded.
CHANGING up at me with his stupid
stare. he spoke. when you want to
send anything away by freight, have it
at the station before nine o'clock in the
morning." he said, in the celebrating
way of one who is compelled to manu-
facture a speech on the spur of the
moment.
us that all you wish to say to me
You did not come all the way from Sid
ington to tell me that?'' I inquired,
caustically.
"Why. no." he began, glancin:e all
around. as though seeking for his
words in the surrounding objects. 81
} 4 thought perhaps you didn't know
hat-that-a-are you having a good
. time?"
"a most enjoyable time indeed" ex-
claimed, enthusiastically, if somewhat
. sarcastically. "Just such time as
1 needed-restful, quiet, and perfect
peace"
Just trace of smile seemed to fiji
! across his face at my words.
\ "Oh! then there is nothing the mat.
