The boldest robbery perhaps ever
committed in this county was that OF
three men driving numoer of cattle
from this to Wayne county and selling
them last week. one OF the parties is In
jail at Wayne, one in jHIl at this place
and the other Is out on bond. The
Wayne county authorities refused to
turn the man they have over to the au-
thoritics of this county, and he VIII be
tried In that county for selling the cat
tic and tried In this county for stealing
them-we suppose That is the pro-
gramme, as he did not steal the cattle
In Wayne county, The funny part Of
the transaction is that each man swore
out a warrant for the other After the
first man had beon accused he Gworc
out warrant Tor another md so on
until u third man vas brought !u.--M!n-

About the strangest thing We have
ever heard was related to US bv a lady
in Gladesvllle. She had hen that
wanted to set and she fastened her out
OF the hennery. The hen being OF
motherly disposition, and determined to
set on something, wandered away to the
barn. where she found puss and her
kittens The hen, after a hard fought
battle, succeeded In driving puss away
from the kittens and then covered
them. The lady finding puss thus be-
reaved OF her kittens, fastened the hen
out OF the barn. In a few days the
door was left open and the hen was
again found covering the kittens. And
for fear she would next insist on being
made mistress OF the nursery, the lady
sold her at once.-Kingwood Journal.

CHAPTER XIX.

AS the earl with Godfrey Armistead,
Frank Meredith, and the detective
rode into Moretown, they soon discov-
cred that some great excitement pre-
vailed, and, after little questioning
learned that woman had been shot in
the railway station early that morn
ing, and that the man had escaped.
Mr.. Newton at once went to the
small pOlice-station, and, to the aston
ishment of his employers, asked full
particulars about the case, and finish
ed by demanding to see the wounded
woman at once.
Roy felt inclined to be annoyed
What had this affair to do with the
search he had on hand?
The detective soon explained. He
saw Myra, who was unable to speak
but had sufficient strength to nod hel
head to his questions, and by this
means he discovered that the mar
who had sent her to her death was the
one they sought.
The earl was frantic. The thought
of Alice in the grasp of this unscrupu-
lous villain maddened him, and the de.
lay, while the detective sought the
traces necessary to following him
was almost more than he could bear.
The guard of the train had returned
from London, and gave his evidence;
and now all was known, except the ex.
act destination of Count Jura and his
victim.
Once again the detective used his
brains A special train was ordered
The three gentlemen with the guard
travelled to the very spot where Jurs
had alighted that morning, and, when
there, they went to the handful Of
cottages to make inquiries.
To be continued.

The Editors Love Affair

velope with the rejected manuscript.
lie did not seal the envelope. There
was something in the story that made
an impression on him. He turned to
a pile of unread matter and looked it
over. But the story that was mot
available" kept running in his mind.
He took the story out of the envelope
and read 1T again.
There is more to it than l thought, .
he said, as he toyed with his Knight
Templar charm, which was attached
to his watch chain by small gold
ring, a woman's ring. The editor was
40 years old, little above medium
height, with light brown hair, brown
eyes, and full brown beard. A stray
gray hair glistened here and there
among the waving brown locks. The
freshness of youth was still in his
face. A smile occasionally frightened
his features, but his face persisted in
falling back into deep repOse. He
toyed with his charm, placed his lit
tie finger in the ring, while his eyes
glanced out of the window at the
western sky. He seemed to see some
one beyond the western sunset. The
west was one magnificent mass of
crimson. Purple and majestic colors
predominated in the east. He raised
his window and gazed steadily at the
gorgeous panorama in the heavens.
''The sky looks just as it did that
night when she gave me the ring.
Then he turned to his desk, and wrote
hurriedly for few moments, when he
paused TO take another look at the
sunset. He returned to his writing
and wrote until the moon was far
above the tall city houses. Every
thing seems queer tonight" he said,
as he laid his pen down and lighted
a cigar. There must be something in
the air. What ails me, anyhow" He
glanced at the bust of Emerson that
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1898-11-07

looked down upon him with cOmpla-
cent contentment. The wise face OF
Emerson irritated him. Il believe
will change that bust / can't stand
that everlasting smile,'' he said, and
he rung up the porter to have him
move the exponent of transcende
philosophy out of his sight.
Mr.. Glare Mowbray, the editor, did
not feel much easier after the bust
was removed Finishing page of
manuscript, he once more toyed with
the ring on his chain, saying, II Won
der why 7 am thinking so much of
Elsie, tonight? Is it the sunset, or
my subject, or has some occult in
fluence seized my brain?" He looked
at a calendar hanging on his desk, and
said aloud: ooh, see! This is the an
niversary of her marriage, and
promised to read her last letter every
anniversary night"
He then unlocked one of his desk
doors, and lifted package of letters
from a drawer. He selected a faded
envelope, opened it, and took from it
was written in a delicate womanly
hand, and read:
Dear Clare:-My father and mother
are bitterly opposed to you. / have
told them of our love, and that l shall
be miserable all my life, If l do not
marry you. Father has commanded
me to marry John Henderson. I re-
fused, and told father that l would
ule first Then father said / must
marry Henderson, that Henderson
held first mortgage on all of our
property, to the amount of fifty
thousand dollars, that there was no
way of paying the debt. If I did not
marry Henderson, father said he and
mother were ruined. I thought of
poor father and mother and of my
brothers and it seemed as if must
sacrifice myself for them. But, oh,
Clare! [ love you only. 1 will always
love you. I promise, if l ever become
widow, that will marry you. Mr..
Henderson is twenty-eight years older
tnan I am, and he cannot live many
years more. Can you wait for me?
Will you wait? Dare 1 hope that you
will wait? Will you give me this joy
as my future hope? Will you be con-
tent with such a prospect? What
else can l do? Meet me tonight at the
old bridge. I will there give you a
ring; it will be the pledge of my love
to you. Come to the bridge. Do not
disappoint me. Ever yours, Elsie"
Mr. Mowbray held the letter in his
hand reverently. He looked long and
lovingly at the fair young face. 1t
was pure, sweet, winsome. The
fascination of love was in the eyes.
The soft, yellow hair fell in waving
masses over the girlish shoulders. No
wonder she had held a place in his
heart through all the passing years.
He gazed thoughtfully at the picture
and said to himself: 81 have waited
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1898-11-07

twenty years for her. Will my dream
ever be realized?"
A loud rap at the editorial rooms
aroused him from his reveries. A
moment after a messenger boy en-
tered, saying: "a telegram for you,
sir He tore it open and read:
Come Elsie
He bowed his head in his hands.
The pent-up emotions of years near
ly overpowered him. But the presence
of the boy restrained him.
'fGive me a blank, boy" he said,
and he wrote:
''I will start tonight. Clare"
"Take this to the office and have it
sent Immediately" said he to the boy.
"All right, SIR said the boy, who
was off instantly.
Mr.. Mowbray lost no time in pro-
curing his ticket. That night he was
on the lightning express fastening to
New York. The train seemed to him
to crawl, so eager was he to meet the
one whom he loved so dearly. Who
would have imagined the staid travel
er in the Pullman palace car had a
lovers anxious heart beating beneath
his coat? But such is life.
lady dressed in black was at the
station waiting for him when he
arrived.
"Elsie!" said he. 'Clare!" she
answered. A quick passionate kiss
and they walked rapidly away No
one in the busy throng ever supposed
that the romance of years was COM
pleted before their eyes. Thai night
a quiet wedding occurred in the par
lOrs of a New York minister. We
leave the bride and groom to the re-
ward that ever belongs to true and
faithful hearts.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.


What is the use of making a bet
ter article than your competitor if
you can get better price for it.
Ans--As there is no difference In
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prompt
ly before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgement on them and
use only the better one.
