In lieu of a rail, excited hands pro-
cured a length of "four-by-four,'
Keevcr was placed astride it and
then carried, amid boots and jeers,
down the main streets Of the Town.
And a melancholy figure the dough-
ty Colonel presented.
That white hat, so often and
proudly declared to be the badge of
his political rank and social position,
was still about his ears, while the
crown, hinged by a thread at the
movement of the four stout men who
carried the timber on their Shout
ders.
The Colonel's clothes were torn,
n end of his collar was tapping
dismally about his neck and he had
lost a shoe, but never once did he
forget himself and release his hold
upon his cane
Some two miles out of town the
angry citizens dropped their victim
roughly and gave him warning, in
terms more forcible than polite,
never more to show his face within
the corporate limits of Concord.
Sampson was the last OF the in
dignant people to make his way
back to town. AS he was about to
pass from sight he turned for one
final glimpse of his former employer.
And there the Colonel sat, he, the
great man, who had raised out of
nothing that monument of tireless
energy and intellectual grandeur,
The Concord Blizzard! The monu-
ment was gone-passed away in a
breath-and there he sat, solitary
and alone, bordering the depth of
his fall.
And Sampson-was he touched by
the woful spectacle?
Rearing himself to his full height,
he gave a shout of triumph and
waved his hat.
"Hit me with your camel" he shout
ed, shrilly; shit me with your cane,
will you?"
Then the printer shook his
clenched fist, whirled about and dis

CHAPTER XXI

AS time is reckoned, Guy had So
journed in Goodwill county for a
period of two weeks, and two days;
but in the broad flight of events, af-
fecting his life for better or for
worse, this fortnight and more had
multiplied itself INCREASINGLY.
He had faced the citizens of Con-
cord very early Wednesday morning
and, with the timely aid of Samp-
son, had succeeded in clearing his
fair name of every suspicion. The
people began to see how they had
wronged the young man, and, as
their anger cooled toward him, it
mounted higher against the Colonel.
When public opinion had reached
the boiling point, the Colonel's castle
wa stormed and sacked and Guys
last glimpse of the fallen idol was
caught from the procession that
wended it's way down the main street
and out of the town. Before these
irate citizens returned, the train
from the west had arrived and de-
parted, and Guy had gone with it.
His airy dream of a fortune had
been snuffed out like a candle in full!
glare. His Inheritance, all that had
been saved from the wreck of his ia
theirs estate had sunk from a value
of many thousands to a few paltry
hundreds. The dream was past. The
stern awakening was at hand, and
there was nothing for him but work.
AS he toiled over some ones set of
books, he could reflect philosophical
ly on the ''rigor of the game that
had wrecked him.
Miss Betty was the one bright spot
in all that chaos of maneuver, plot,
counterpart and checkmate. He was
in love with her-nopelessly, he
feared, in than n sense of the
word. Had Concord won the county
seat and had he, in the "boom' that
followed, realized a small fortune
out of his lots, he might have prose
cuted his suit, wooed and won. Let
sentimentalists prate as they may,
success in business very often goes
hand-in-hand with success in love.
Besides, Guy had a reserve of pride.
How could he face Miss Betty and
tell her hat the son of Montfort
Herbert had hardly a dollar that he
could call his own? No; he would
1'buckle in," make his mark and then
go to her. Months would certainly
elapse, perhaps years, but if his love
could not withstand the wear of time
wherein was it worthy? If she cared
anything for him she would wait. On
the other hand, if she did not care
for him she would marry some one
else and he would face the future in
Il manly way and do his utmost to
forget. 1t was wise counsel that his
heart took from his head and he set
about his plans with courage and de-
termination.
He made jamestown his Mecca and
there he found a loan and invest
ment concern in need of an assistant
bookkeeper. He passed an examina-
ton, was found competent and-aen-
tered at once upon his duties. His
weekly stipend was $20-not half the
pocket money his indulgent father
had at one time allowed him.
1t is very easy to work toward a
goal as bright as the one Guy had
set fer himself and it was astonish-
ing how he made shift TO economic.
Week by week more than half his
salary was laid by and, when Il
month had passed, he was so hungry
for news of Concord and Miss Betty
that he wrote a line to Pettibone.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-10-14

In the letter he asked how many
Concord people had moved to Har-
mony; asked if the Colonel had ever
been heard from; inquired about
Waffle, Glimmer, Bilkins and others
and requested the sheriff to send him
bills for the lumber and hardware
used in the Inflated courthouse. Guy
said that he intended to pay these
bills and would do so in time. He
wrote no word about Miss Betty,
eager though he was to hear from
her. But Pettibone knew. His reply
would be filled with information
concerning the owner of the blue
eyes, Guy was certain.
After posting the letter he waited.
The days passed without bringing a
reply and a chill of disappointment
swept through the young mans soul.
His round of duties became irksome.
He was beginning to realize how
hard it would be to face the future
without Miss Betty. The desire with
in him to run down to Concord some
Saturday night was very strong.
During Sunday forenoon he could
take an inventory and ascertain how
much of the town had been carried
away, and in the afternoon he could
drive to the other side of the county
and find out how much of his town
Harmony had already absorbed. He
even pictured himself at Willowview
indulging in persifage with the
squire over the county-seat contest.
He would not reveal the true state
of his affairs, but would pose as the
wealthy sol of Montfort Herbert. A
business plea would take him from
Willowview Sunday night so hat he
could get back to jamestown in time
to begin his weekly grind in the
loan office. Miss Betty should never
know the straits to which he was
put until he had wrested a fortune
from the clutch of fate and had laid
it at her feet, together with his
heart.
Just as Guy, bending mechanically
over his ledger, had figured the mat
ter to suit his exacting fancy, he
heard a voice in the outer office. He
dropped his pen, startled, and his
heart leaped into his throat.

Loan and Investment company" in
quired the voice.
"1t is madam" returned the OBJ
sequious senior partner. II am Mr..

"ls there a Mr.. Herbert connected

Connected with the firm! Guy
shivered and pressed one hand to his
throbbing temples.
"There is no such person connect
ed with u firm, madame" returned
Mr.. Jarvis. "We have an assistant
bookkeeper- in our employ whose
name is Herbert"
Miss Betty there! Guy would have
given worlds to effect an escape. He
could not even get his coat for that
was in the closet beyond the private
office.
81 would like to see him a moment,
please" said Miss Betty, after a
pause.

arrogant tone that is part and par
eel of the money-lender. "This way,
Herbert!"
Guy was wearing clothes which he
had discarded in his better days. He

fully.
"My father, MI. HERBERT" she pro-
ceeded, hesitatingly, would like to
purchase your interest in Concord.'
"How much would he give?"
"He wished me to ask you if you
would consider $4,000"
There it was! Guy reddened. Tact
full as ever, Miss Betty was seeking
to bestow her charity in the way
least calculated to wound his feel
ings. His pride vas exaggerated, of
course, but had he not loved the fair
girl who was seeking to aid him he
would not have felt so keenly. He
got up.

salary of $40 per week, Miss Wand

himself up grandly and h%aughtily.

to bid you a very good EVENING"
He strobe to the door and laid his
hand IN the knob. He was not going
to look back, but she did not speak,
and he heard something very like a
sob. Then he turned. Poor Betty
had her face in her hands and was
weeping forlornly.
Guy felt a sudden pang of remorse.
He was a brute to act in that silly
way. He had imagined that she
would fare out at him, would give a
sharp word and retaliate in kind.
Instead of angering he had only
wounded.
Miss Vlandingham!"
There was no answer, no lifting OF
the bowed head, and he walked to
her quickly.

coming in a torrent, 81 am a wretch.
I did not mean what l said! Forgive
me. Take those worthless lots and

She looked up at him suddenly, her
eyes dancing through her tears.
"Do you know how long it will
take you to make a fortune at the
rate of $40 per week, Guy?" she
whispered.
"it depends largely on the mag.
n%iicence of the fortune, I suppose"
Given to make a fortune that is
not very magnificent would take too
long-too long for me to wait"
"Darling!" he murmured. "You
will take me now, as I am?"

lie folded her to his breast.
Il am rich already" he whispered,
"since 1 have your love. My friend,

Thus it came about as Pettibone
had said. The sheriff knew, for SO
had it been with himself and Ma.
tilda.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Aug. 25.-(Special
Telegram.)-The United States authorities
In this city were this afternoon advised Of
the arrest In Marshall county Of Miss &C.
celia Gilbertson, job A. Peterson and
Thomas Astrom, on the charge Of perjury,
alleged to have been committed in May last,
when testimony was taken before a United
States commissioner at Sisseton In the
final proof case of Miss Gilbertson covering
her homestead in Marshall county. The
other two defendants were here.
The alleged perjury was in the testimony
relative to the period of her residence upon
the land and the extent of her improve
ments. Assistant United States Attorney
Porter has departed for Aberdeen to rep
resent the government at the preliminary
examination Of the three prisoners before
a United States commissioner, which will
be held tomorrow.
Upon motion of Attorney Porter the case
Of the United States against Samuel F.
Bulls, alias Samuel F. Bradley, charged
with the robbery of the postofiee at Frank
fort, s. D., on the night OF October s, 1901,
was today dismissed. Bulls was captured
at Sioux City and delivered to the federal
authorities here last May. He was in
dicted at the April term of the United
States court in this city. Since being
turned over to the federal ofhcials here
he has been an inmate Of the county Jail.
As the result of the dismissal of the
case he has been released from custody.
Bulls demanded an immediate trial, but
as the government could not secure a ma
terial and indispensable witness, who has
disappeared since the Indictment was re-
turned, the case had to be dismissed.
