A Very Pleasant Surprise.

Auditor Frank Masters cup of bliss
has certainly been running over the
past week. He was evidently not
satisfied with coming out of the cleo
tion on Tuesday with the largest ma
jority of the whole field of candidates,
and also having one of his pet hobbies,
the court house proposition, which he
had given a great many days very
effective work, CARRY by such hand
some majority. Besides all this he
also had to have birthday last week,
his thirty fifth, on Saturday; and his
associate county officers and few
friends felt that this was too much.
So they resolved to get even with
him. Mrs. Masters was told of the
scheme, and took upon herself the
burden of getting him away from
home on that evening. After two OF
three attempts she succeeded il
keeping him away until the party had
entered the house, and after once Sc
curing possession they had everything
their own way, making themselves
merry as they chose. The evening was
spent in delightful manner, and be
fore departing Supt E. j. Hook, OF
behalf of those present, with a few
we'll chosen remarks presented Mr.
Masters with handsome easy chair
as token of their esteem Of hi
friendship

Shot a Big White Swan.

Attorney @, S. Boice was showing
about town Monday afternoon hand
some large white swan, which he
shot Monday morning in the river
pond little ways above Taviner's
bridge in West DEBORAH. 1t is a
beautiful specimen, measuring seven
feet from tip 20 tip, weighs 151a
pounds, and is spotless white. Mr..
Boice intends to have it mounted, and
when this is done he will have speci-
men we'll worth preserving. 1t is a
mystery how it wandered so far away
from salt water.

The Eightieth Mile Stone.

Monday was the eightieth birthday
Of Mr.. E. Mather, and the Masonic
Lodge at it's regular meeting that
evening presented him a token of
their esteem of his long time friend
ship and membership in the order.
Last evening the ladies of the Eastern
Star surprised him, also leaving with
him a remembrance of the occasion.
1t is the sincere wish of all that he
may yet live to enjoy many years of
health and happiness.

CHAPTER II.

The fruit steamer "Adelantado,"
outward bound, fell away from her
mornings; forged slowly ahead, until
the current caught and swung her
PROV riverward; and, circling maies-
tically in midstream, began to pass the
lights of the city as she steamed at
half speed down the river.
cambridge was on deck when the
steamer left her berth, and, remem-
bering the stuffy little stateroom he
had inspected earlier in the day, was
minded to 60 aft and finish his cigar in
the open air. Accordingly he found a
settee on the portquarter and sat
down to watch the lights wheel past in
orderly procession as the Adelantado
swept around the great crescent
which gives the city its unofficial name.
While Uncomfortable feeling Of eta
ton, born of his Unexpected bit of good
fortune, was still uppermost to lend
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1902-08-14

within the hour, inasmuch as his
cast for fortune included no well
wrought out plan of escape. But
since he was both wiser and less cum
ming than the journeyman bank rob-
Der, and was, moreover, hungry en-
thusiast who had argued himself
into the belief that his act was mere
ly illegal and not wrong, he threw
the police off the scent by doing that
which no criminal would have had
the nerve to do.
Once safely in the street, with the
package of bank notes under his
arm, he was moved to do some ex-
travagant thing celebrative of his
success. It had proved to be such
a simple matter, after all; one bold
stroke; small bloodless tussle with
the Plutocratic dragon whose hold
upon his prey is so easily broken;
and presto! the hungry proletary is
himself power in the land, strong
to do good or evil as the gods may
direct.
This was the prompting to levita-
ton as it might have been set in
words; but in Griswold's thought it
was but swift suggestion, followed

when he was living on two meals a day
himself; and fancy he skipped one Of
them to buy milk for that kid" T.
"Humph! And he calls himself an
anarchist, does he? It's bowling pity
there amt lot more just like him."
said the detective, sententiously.
"That is what 1 say" cambridge
agreed. Then, with sudden twinge of
remorse for having told Griswold's
story to stranger, he changed the
subject with an abrupt question.
Where are you headed for, Griffin %
The detective chuckled. "You don't
expect me to give it away to you-a
newspaper man-do you? But will,
seeing you can't get it on the wires. I
am going down to Guatemala after
Mortsen."
1.-THE defaulter? By Jove! you've
found him at last, have you?"
Griffin nodded. 1T takes a good
while, sometimes, but I don't fall down
very often when there's enough money
in it to make the game worth the can
die. I've been two years, off and on,
trying to locate that fellow; and now
I've found him he is where he can't be
extradited. All the same, I'll bet YOU

face is familiar enough, but I can't
place him."
The question fell in with the report
er's train of thought, and he answered
it rather more fully and freely than he
might have at another time under diff
ferent conditions. From telling who
Griswold was, he slipped by easy de-
grees into the story of his ups and
downs, ending with vivid little word
painting of the scene in Chaudiere's.
ITO hear him talk, you would think
he was a bloody-minded anarchist of
the thirty-third degree, ready to sweep
the existing order of things off the
face of the earth," he added; 'but in
reality he is one of the best fellows in
the world, gone bit morbid over the
social problem. He has heart of gold,
as happen to know. He used to spend
a good deal of his time in the backwa-
ter, and you know what the backwater
in a big city is"
"Yes."
"Well, one night he stumbled into
cellar somewhere down in the lower
levels on the East side. He was look
ing for a fellow that he had been try
ing to find work fora crippled long
shoreman, believe he was. When he
got into the place he found the man
stiff, the woman with the death-rattle
in her throat, and two-year-old baby
creeping back and forth between the
dead father and the dying mother
starvation, you know, pure and sim
pie. Griswold jumped into the breach
like man and tried to save the wom-
an. 1t was too late; but when the
mother died, he took the child to his
own eight-by-ten attic and nursed and
fed it till the missionary people took

coin P1dcency 70 MS renectlons, he vet
found time to be honestly sorry for
the man from whom he had Just part
ed. Sorry, but not greatly ,apprehen-
s1ve. He had known Griswold in New
York, and was not unused to his So
clallstlc vagaries. To be sure, his theo-
RES were lncendiary and subversive Of
all civilized dogma; but at bottom.
orlswold the man was nothing worse
than an lmpressionable enthusiast
who had tormented himself into fam

others.
so cambridge thought; and he knew
his opinion was shared with frank
unanimity by all of Griswold's friends,
who agreed in calling him Utopian, al
truistic, visionary. What milder cpl
thets could be applied to man who,
with sufficient literary talent-not to
say genius-to make himself work
ing name in the ordinary way, must
needs run amuck and write a novel
with purpose!-a novel, moreover, in
which the purpose so overshadowed
the story as to make the book mere
preachment.
AS matter of course, the publishers
would have nothing to do with the
book. cambridge remembered with
considerable satisfaction that he had
prophesied it's failure, and had given
Griswold no little good advice while it
was in the process of writing. But
Griswold, being to the full as obstinate
as he was impressionable, had refused
to be counseled, and now the conse-
quences of his stubbornness were upon
him. He had said truly that his liter
airy gift was novelistic and nothing
else; and here he was, pennilesss and
desperate, with dead book on his
hands, and with no chance to write
another, even if he were so minded,
since one cannot write fasting
Thus cambridge reflected, and was
sorry that Griswold's invincible pride
had kept him from accepting a friendly
stop-gap in his extremity. Yet he
smiled in spite of his sympathy. It
was amusing to think of Griswold,
who, as long as his slender patrimony
had lasted, had been emphatically
man not of the people, posing as an an
archist, and up in arms against the
world. None the less, he was to be
pitied.
"Poor devil! he is in the doldrums
now, and isn't quite responsible for
what he says or thinks-or for what he
thinks he Thinks" said the journalist
to himself. "Just the same, I wish
had made him take that-Why, how
are you, Griffin? Where in the mis-
chief did you drop from?'
It was the inevitable steamer ac-
quaintance who is always at hand to
prove the exceeding narrowness of the
world, and cambridge made room for
him on the settee.
81 didn't drop, I walked in. More
than that, kept step with you all the
way down from Chaudiere's to the
levee. You'd be dead easy game for an

"Confound you'll" said cambridge,
laughing. "Can't you ever forget that
you're in the shadowing business?"
Eyes; just as often and just as long
as you can forget that you are a news
hunter"
The Swallowed one laughed again,
and they smoked in silence until the
| Adelantado doubled the bend in the
river and the last outposts of the city's
lights disappeared in the blackness.
| Then Griffin said:
