bold dash for what she called "liberty."
She wore a simple black dress and a
rather long black veil. Mrs. Nolan had

But as the morning passed and her
companion did not appear, her elation
changed to anxiety. What could have

Mrs. Nolan crcpt into her own room
and went to bed. She had her quota
of Unborn superstition, and the idea
of associating such an inevitable thing
as death with her misdeeds went
against her inclination
II feel as if she really did drown

She was unable 10 sleep at all. The
ship continued to roll badly and now
and then waves which raced one am
other across the deep struck the yes
sci broadsde with sufficient force to
break in the portfolios. Indeed Mrs.
Nolan's mind WAS too active with the
part she had played and with coniur-
ing up possible consequences, to give
itself up TO unconsciousness. At
three O'Clock she rose and crcpt into
the adjoining room and bent over her
accomplice. To her establishment this
beautiful creature was sleeping as
soundly and peacefully as an infant.
THE idea of her taking it so easj-
ly and me nearly out of my head is
ridiculous," Mrs. Nolan resentfullv
argued. I'll 60 back and sleep.

degree Of perfection.
The present session Of the legis-
lature will be asked for an appro-
priation of 81, 000, 900 to carry on
the work Of construction during the
next two years. and it is probable
that the request will be granted.
As to the completion of the build
ing it was thought two years ago
that it would be completed by 1903,
and that the legislature of that year
would meet in it, but those who
have watched the work say that It
will require another four years be
fore the officials Of the State and
the legislature will formally occupy
it.
The new sixth congressional dis
trict, in case the reapportionment
bill becomes a law. will be the scene
of a stiff fight for political honors.
Frank M. Eddy, the present repre-
sentative from the Seventh district,
and who was formerly a teacher Ia
Redwood county schools, will be in
that district, and will undoubtedly
be a candidate for reelection. OPP
posed to him will probably be Sena-
tor Ed. Young of Swift. Speaker NJ.
]. Bowling Of Renville and Lieut..
Gov. Smith of Chippewa county.
Imagine the heat of the contest with
all four of these men ia. it.
Representative McCleary cannot
be blamedefo wanting Blue Earth
county to remain in the Second dis
trict, but he certainly throws him
self open to censure when he asks
Redwood, Lincoln, Lyon and yellow
Medicine counties to sacrifice their
political chances in order that he
might live. It isn't fair.
