The first flush of assured victory
over, Guy began to feel sorry for
Miss Betty. She was bending every
effort toward a victory for Harmony
and was so confident of the result
that newell, he almost regretted
that he had allowed himself to pur-
! chase Mr.. Landy's influence.
Lady to see you, Mr.. Herbert"
announced Whitaker, abruptly open
ing the door. After grinning slyly
he vanished as quickly as he had ap-
peared.
ga lady," murmured Guy, in trepi-
dation.
He had been so busy with his
sounds indicative of the arrival of a
visitor. AS he arose he glanced
| through window and saw Miss
Pinkney seated in a gorgeous trap
and holding a horse. The next mo-
ment he saw Whitaker approach
the trap. stand beside it and engage
Miss Pinkney in conversation. Guys

would be able to explain that affair
on the lake shore.
Miss Betty was waiting for him
when he entered the other room.
| She came forward hastily and took
one of his hands in both her own.
| The look on her face was one which
he had never seen there before. Sad
ness, heartburning, regret = these
were all in the glance she gave him.
Il can remain but moment, Mr.
Herbert" she said. 81 have been in
| Bismarck for few days and, on my
return to Harmony l learned some
thing which has brought me straight
to you to ask your forgiveness
MY forgiveness" he repeated,
giveness for what?"
For allowing you to help me, thus
causing you to be looked upon as a
traitor by your own townspeople;
and for daring to think that you
had brought the sheriff and two
others with you to the lake, week
ago last Wednesday. Oh, l feel as
though I am personally culpable and
that your wound is the indirect re-
suit of my own actions Her blue
eyes grew misty and her voice shook.
will you forgive me, Mr.. Herbert?'
He longed to clasp her to his
breast and then tell her how dear she
had become to him in the brief time
they had known each other; he would
have given worlds to kiss her tears
away and do other sentimental and
foolish things which he had no
earthly right to do, but he restrained
himself. He loved her, and he defed
the months and years to disprove a
truth which two short weeks had
made clear to him. Yet, while sure
of his own feelings, he must wait to
assure himself of hers.
"Who has told you my side of the
case, Miss Vlandingham?" he asked.
Some one who knows" was the
reply; "some one who lives in Con-
cord and is thoroughly conversant
with every phase of your ill-treat-
i ment at the hands of the mistaken
| people there"
'My Entertainment, fear, has been
overdrawn," said Guy, smiling. 81

A New Question.

A new question has been referred
to the state authorities by the school
managers of Des Moines. 1t is:
What authority has school board
or superintendent to exclude children
of defective minds from the public
schools? There is some doubt about
the power of the school authorities
to exclude such children There
seems to be no law on the question
Local school managers are inclined
to believe that under the new com
pulsory education law parent may
compel the schools to take care OF
children who are actually nuisances
if such parent sees fit.

the subject of so much discussion be-
fore the committee and throughout the

as nearly like the present law as it is
possible to be. The section regarding

in making the assessment originally
designated stocks end bonds and such
other matters as may be necessary.
The bill, as amended, how ever, pro-
vide: that the gross earnings, the net
earnings, the physical conditions, etc,
shall be taken into consideration. This
practically destroys the force of the
bill. The senate committee on railroads
reported for passage the bill introduced

ANNIVERSARY OF MAJUBA nlll
KITCHENER TELLS STORY OF 4
SUCCESSFUL TWO-DANS
BATTLE.
BRITISH VERY MUCH IICkltD
WAR SECRETARY READS THE
NEWS TO THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS.

London, March 2. - Following the
nounced Gen. Cronje's surrender at
Paardeburg on the anniversary of the
battle Of Majuba Hill (Feb. 81, 1881,
Lord Kitchener apparently selected
the same anniversary to achieve big
success, by combined movement last
ing two days, against the Boer forces
within the Harrismith and Van Reen-
en- line of blockhouses. The Boer losses
aggregate 500 men killed or captured
ana 1900 horses and $4,000 head Of
troops.
This news was so welcome to the
British that it was read out in the
house of commons yesterday by the
war secretary, Mr.. Brodrick, from a
dispatch of Lord Kitchener, as follows:
"Harrismith, Feb. 2S.-Yesterday the
co.abned operations of the columns
terminated in driving the Beers against
the Harrismith ana Van Reenen
hloclSllouse line. The River Wilge was
held by the Leinster regiment and Ell
lio.t's mounted infantry from Harfi-
smith With the columns formed on the
Frankfort and Botha's Pass blockhouse
line and advanced south,
Holding the Entire Country
between the Wilga and the Natal From
tier. On the first night a very severe
attempt to break through was made
at a point between Ri1nington's and
Pvne's columns, and the New Zealand
ers behaved with great gallantry. The
fighting was at close quarters and the
Beers, as usual, drove large herd OF
cattle in front of them. Mamie Botha,
the Boer leader, was killed and thirty
five d. ad Beers were found on the
ground. Over 100 ho1ses were killed
and 5000 head of cattle We're left in our
hands. Other small attempts to break
out We're made and in two cases sue
cecded. On the last day $50 Beers with
rifles and horses We're captured. All the
columns have not vet reported and the
operations have been very wide, but
over 600 Beers have been either killed
or are prisoners in our hands; also 1000
horses, $4,000 head of cattle, 200 wagons,
G0,0G" sheep, 500 rifles and $4,000 rounds
Of ammunition. The prisoners INCLUDE
Gen. Dewet's son and his secretary:
Commandments Meyer and Truther, and
several field comets. These satisfac-
tory results are very appropriate on the
anniversary of Majuba."

st. Paul March l. - j. f. jacobson
declared war yesterday on State Audi
tor Dunn. In a speech bristiing with
sersa ,ional statements he attacked the
rcccrt, OF the state auditor and opened
breach between the two old friends
ana co-workers that may never be
healed. He declared that Mr., DNnn'S
success in office had been due to laws
which The auditor himself had opposed.
AS climax Mr. Jacobson declared
that the influence of the auditor had
been against the passage of the late tax
code.
From the way Mr.. Dur IN discusses
the subject L is evident that he does
not shrink from the issue and that 1t
will be carried into the pre-convention
campaign. The attack was called forth
by an Interview published in a morning
paper in which the state auditor argued
against the tonna &c tax feature of the
jacobson hill.
