and Will BE Preserved.

Curator Charles Aldrich has re-
ceived the archives of the Iowa State
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, from
the last secretary, j. w. Murphy, of
Murphy, for perpetual preservation
in the state historical department..
The archives include in full all the
proceedings of the grange from it's
inception to its death. 1t also in
cludes proceedings of other state
oranges. There are several boxes of
the papers Mr.. Murphy lives at
Murphy, which is named after him,
and was the last secretary of the or
ganization.
Curator Aldrich is also in receipt of
sets of representative English news
papers covering the time from the
period at which Queen Victoria was
taken ill and her illness was regarded
as serious to the close of her funeral
services. These are deliberately illus
trated and will be intensely inter-
esting, and are of great value to the
historical department.

Union of Father and Daughter in
Davenport Who Had Never
Seen Each Other.

The union of father and daugb-
Ter VINO had never seen each other
mas been an interesting event in Dav-
export. Mrs. Elmer Z. Hesen, through
the lnstrumentality of her daughter,
Miss Myrtle May Sparkling, has been
enabled to meet her father, Martin
Partin, who is now 76 years of age.
The story of the separation and ro-
mantle reunion of the father and
daughter is full of interest.
Mrs. Hesen, who is something over 30
years of age, was born while her father
was absent in California Her mother
lived at Decatur City, Ia, at the time
OF the child's birth. When six months
Old Mrs. Hesen was afflicted with a sore
throat, which necessitated an operation.
Inc operation resulted in the baby's
death, as it was believed, and she was
placed i'll tiny casket after being pre-
pared for the grave. News of her death
was sent to the father. Afterward one
OF the watchers of the little corpse saw
the child's eyelids twitch and one of
the small hands move, and the baby
came back to life. Meantime, the ia
ther had moved to Oregon and never re-
ceived the news of the baby's return to
life The child's mother then died and
she was left to be cared for by strangers.
1t was by the merest accident that she
learned the history of her babyhood re-
Gently. Then her daughter, a milliner in
Davenport became interested in the case
and wrote to one Samuel Banks, of Oma-
ma, who succeeded in locating the aged
father and grandfather in Missouri. 1t
was believed that Mrs, Hesen's health
would soon succumb to the ravages of
consumption, and the father was urged
to come to Davenport as soon as posi-
Bile, and he did so. He is feeble and
somewhat afflicted with rheumatism, but
has hardly left his daughters bedside
since he arrived. 1t is believed that the
sight of the father may prolong the
daughters life

mouth and aquiline nose gave note
Of severity to her face. Her charm,
1t is likely, had existed in the con-

CHAPTER v.

Facing the sun on the same morn
ing which broke through the length.
ened slumbers of Louise in the Rich
mond hotel, an old man sat in an in
valid chair. Everything that wealth
could provide for his comfort, every
thing demanded by convention, sur.
rounded him. No one would ever saw.
looking in upon the appointments of
his house, that the sick man lacked
anything that loving sympathy and
tender solicitude could suggest. The
deep velvet carpet gave back no sound
under the feet of those who moved
around him; curtains of damask and
lace softened the too direct rays of
light which entered the long windows
across the balcony; bits of landscape
and color relieved the wide expanee
OF wall; and flowers lent freshness
and fragrance to the soft spring air
sparingly admitted.
The old man was haggard from
loss of rest and from apprehension.
His once forid face was pallid and
the cheeks sunken. His eyes shone
with an unnatural brilliancy. One
need not have been q skilled physi-
clan to have detected the fact that
deaths seal was upon that pale face
and shrunken frame. The tiny spark
OF life might glimmer in it's socket
for days, weeks, even months; it
would never again send up clear and
steady blaze.
Within the same room several peo-
pie had gathered, controlled by varied
sentiments. DIR. Brodnars was there,
his massive frame bent above the
sick man, his eyes everywhere. Pulse,
respiration, temperature, were pa
tiently asccrtained, and with unsat-
isfactory results, evidently, for the
doctors face was a tell-tale. Once
or twice his eyes rested upon tall
woman in black who moved slowly
about the invalid, touching his hands
and forehead, admonishing him gen.
thy, and keeping. watch upon the
physician's actions with singular in
tentness.
This woman was of marked per-
sonahty. Her iron-gray hair was
brushed back smoothly from broad,
low forehead, her black eyes were
we'll sunk under dark brows and
lashes, but flashed indolently from
time to time when she was speak

There was much surprise in Harlan
at the setting aside of the $4,000 yer
dict in favor of c. 1. Thomas and
against w. A. Lacey for the aliena-
ton of the affections of the former

on the ground that one of the jurors
