CHAPTER XXI.
on Fire Island Light.

III 4 Ire lSiduu Light.
Charlie had written from Antwerp
to certain quarters in London, from
which he might expect to receive posi-
tive information regarding Captain
Brand.
He had done this to satisfy Airline.
So far as he himself was concerned
his mind was already made up most
positively.
II Brand was surprised to see Char
lie on board, he gave no evidence OF
it.
He concocted some affecting story,
which he spun in Arline's ears, and
with such success that he actually
gained little of his former ascen-
dency in her mind, since she was
haunted by doubts which it seemed
impossible to dispel.
Artemus amused himself studying
the old mariner. He even played a
few games with him in the smoking
room, where men of all degrees are
socially inclined.
Captain Brand was the same as Of
yore.
The tales he spun of his wonderful
adventures in the African deserts
were weird enough to take ones
breath away.
Artemus listened. almost charmed;
and his interest grew apace until one
day 1t struck him that the personal
adventures which the captain SO mod
estly ascribed to himself had some
what musty flavor, as became ancient
chestnuts.
This aroused suspicion.
Artemus set about an investigation.
Lo and behold, upon secretly looking
into the captains stateroom. while
the gentleman was holding forth among
his cronies above, Artemus discovered
a well-thumbed volume of Adventures
and Explorations in the Dark Contin-
emit"
The captains secret was out.
For once he had carelessly omitted
to keep the source of his knowledge
under lock and key.
Artemus borrowed the volume and
took copious notes, intending to have
q little run HI BRAUN expense iion
time to time.
He took occasion to relate all this
to Charlie, who, in turn, told Lady Ar
line.
Strange that even this new and
blackening evidence could not wholly
convince her. Filial love must have
had strong hold indeed upon the ten
der heart OF this girl who had from

CHAPTER x.-(Coutinusd.
Charlie did not spare himself one
iota
He had recovered his senses just as
the baron, who had been engaged look
Ing after the security of the fair cap

The baron stormed and raved more
or less when he discovered how they
had been taken in SO neatly By this
ex-sailor, whom he looked upon as a
bungler

since Airline was doubtless by this
time safe on board the steamer.
Very good" was the barons reply,
with sigh of relief, for he seemed to
be overburdened Of late with official
cares, or something that pressed upon
his mind: but if you hope to get
aboard before the steamer leaves you
must hurry, for there is just a scant
half hour.
Charlie called for cab and said
good-by to his friend. the baron. He
would always have a lingering sus-
picion Peterhoff was glad to get rid
of him, as though he thought Charlie
and his affairs took up too much of
his precious time, which should be de-
voted to matters of more serious con-
sequence.
He managed to get aboard just as
the order to draw in the last gang
plank was given. This sailing at night
was something quite out of the usual
run, but there was special reason
for it, quite satisfactory to the offlcials
of the line. and all intended passen-
gers had been warned to be on board
in time.
1t happened that Charlie discovered
Capt Brand in the smoking saloon in
time to keep beyond the range of mis-
vision.
To Charles establishment, when
Brand took a notion to retire, he blum
dered into the wrong stateroom, which
CHANGED to be the one that had been
assigned to Stuart.
This might have been deep design;
but, after carefully considering 1t from
all sides, Charlie felt disposed to call
1t an accident.
He found rest in another room
which the steward opened for him.
And now here they were, with an
elephant on their hands, SO to speak,
bound to come into daily and hourly
contact with the strange man whom
they strongly suspected, and with good
reason, of being most stupendous
fraud.

The Park Foot Bridge,

The foot bridge to the park, con-
ternplated by the ladies of the I'M
provement League, we understand,
is in allegiance. ITO build, or not
to build" is the question that now
agitates the projectors.
1t had been proposed to build a
steel bridge but upon investigation
it was found to be beyond the means
of reasonable attainment, as such a
structure with the mason work for
an abutment on the north side of
the stream and approaches, would
cost in the neighborhood of $500,
sum not in sight and too large to
put into venture of the kind even
if it were possible to raise it. II
was thought a wooden bridge could
be built costing about $500, a sum
which the ladies have on hand.
Such bridge contemplates a span
of 100 feet, the stringers to be of
that length, of Washington fir.
But in this question of building of
wood there is an undetermined cost
of the abutment.
Contractors have been interviewed
as to the cost of this abutment and
approach. Estimates vary, depend
ing upon the height of the abutment
required. If it is demanded that
the abutment shall be raised to the
level of the landing south across
the river it will cost, at the present
rates charged by masons, six hun
dred dollars. Consequently, while
the cost of the woodwork, the bridge
proper, may be readily determined,
the whole cost of such a work would
vary according to the amount of eX-
pense to be put into the abutment
and filling. In relating these facts
as they come to us we have not pre-
sumed to pass upon the merits of
the casa steel bridge or a wooden
bridge, including the amount of
work on the approach. This affair
belongs to the Improvement League
which has assumed the enterprise.

Tingwall==Peterso

One of the prettiest social events
ever witnessed in the town of Cliff
ton occurred at the pleasant resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Otto E. Pc
terson, on Wednesday, July l, 1908,
the occasion being the marriage of
their eldest daughter, Miss Ida AL
vina, to Mr.. Axe1 A. Tingwall of
River Falls, Rev. Bengstrom oficia-
ting.
The ceremony was performed in
the presence of about fifty invited
guests on the spacious lawn which
had been beautifully decorated
for the occasion, Messrs. Peter
'Oberg, Will Peterson and Oscar
Roselard acted as groomsmen, and
Misses Frances Peterson, and Ma
tilda and Lydia Tingwall as brides
maids. Winnie Peterson was maid
of honor and Bernice Copas and
Leone Peterson flower girls. The
bride was beautifully attired in a
becoming dress of point desprit
over cream silk. The bride and
maids carried brides roses.
Mrs. Tingwal1 is one of Clifton's
most popular and accomplished
young ladies, a graduate of both
the High and Normal schools of
River Falls and is one of Pierce
county's most successful teachers.
She had been engaged in school
work at Durand the past year.
The groom is popular young
business man of River Falls and in
every way worthy of the estimable
young lady who has just become
his life partner.
A sumptuous repast was served
on tables under the trees and the
guests departed at late hour leav-
ing behind them many congratula-
lions and good wishes. The pres
ents were many, varied and valu-
able.
An ideal summer day, the music
of singing birds, the breath of June
roses, all seemed pleasant omens
of long and happy life for The
young couple, newly welded.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tingwall will be at
home to their friends at River Falls
after July Is. M

ANNUAL School Meeting.

To THE VOTERS OF PIERCE Coz
The time is again at hand for the
annual school meeting, which will
be held at your school house next
Monday night (July g., at seven
o'clock. No voter should fail to
attend the meeting in his district
and to take an active part in the
building up of good school. No
greater duty devolves upon us as
American citizens than this, for up
on the public schools depend the
strength and perpetuity of our free
institutions. AS competition is be-
coming so close in nearly all lines
of business, it is necessary that
everyone should have at least a
good common school education.
Most of the pupils in our common
schools go to no higher institution
of learning. Wherefore becomes
our duty to make the common
school as good as it is possible to
make it.
Men are often heard to say, Il
forgot that it was school meeting
night" or when | got my chores
done il was too late to 60" The
success or failure of the schools the
coming year depends largely on
what is done at these meetings.
Therefore we should let nothing
prevent US from attending and TAX
ing an intelligent part in the pro-
ceedings. The educational welfare
of our children should be of more
interest to us than other temporary
matters. 1t often happens that the
members of the school board and
one or two others are the only ones
in attendance at the meetings. Will
you see that it is otherwise in your
district this Year,
Hoping that you may have pros
porous school year, | am, yours
respectfully, A. j. INGLI,

The board of review to pass upon
the assessment met Monday in ac-
cordance with the law. 1t adjourn
ed to meet in two weeks. The
assessors are late with their work
this year in consequence of the
preparation of instructions made
necessary by changes in the laws
relating to assessment.
The street commissioner has
completed The work laid out for the
stone crusher. The crusher was in
operation for II days and during
this time the crew averaged some
thing over 81 loads of crushed stone
a day, hauled onto the road,
dumped and leveled. For the period
named over 800 loads, about / 700
cubic yards, was disposed where
it would do the most good. The
county line road was treated with
a covering of stone from the GENE
terry to the eastern limits of the
city-a stretch of road that has been
troublesome in the spring because
of mud. The South Fork road from
near the Normal to the city limits
east was covered and this continued
on the Ellsworth road from the cor
ner of the South Fork road 10 the
foot of the hill at the old stave mill.
The road running to Prescott was
covered with the crushed rock from
Cascade avenue TO the city limits
south and besides this the low
places on Main street have been
filled in with the crushed rock
This is mighty good road work for
one season in the line of what is
practically a macadam bed.
Greenwood cemetery is beautiful
at this time of the year and it seems
especially beautiful at this time
this year. The deciduous trees
are heavy with a profuse foliage of
living green, the evergreens are
bright and fresh with a tender new
growth, the sward is thick with
growing grass, is neatly kept and
the eastern half of the yard that
was moved early is covered with
the odorous blossoms of white
clover. But the flowers! the fiowers!
"star-eyed and rainbow-hued" are
in the glory of their respondent col
oringS and the redolence of their
enchanting perfume. The land
scape shimmers in the radiance of
their beauty and the air is heavy
laden with odors. Sweetest and
most beautiful are the roses, many
hued and odor-1aden, but the redo
lent syringa, the modest pink, the
pretentious peony and numerous
others in bloom enhance the glory of
the view and lend charm to the
sensations. The dead in their
grassy tents "sleep we'll after life's
ftfu1 fever" held in reverent and
loving remembrance by the friends
who linger for little while on this
side the narrow stream that sepa-
rates the living from the dead. The
recurring bloom of the flowers sug-
gests the glory of the morning of
the resurrection.

Putnam'S New Dam.

w. H. Putnam's new dam is fin
ished. The last work upon the
structure was cau1king the seams
between the planking. This was
considerable of a job in itself. The
dam is 26 feet high, los feet wide
on top and the length of the slope
covered with 3-inch plank is SO feet.
The plank is all ten-inch width and
the interstices between the planks
are caulked with oakum. The
plank are all planed, and jointed
bevel-edged SO that while the under
touch, the upper edges are quarter
of an inch or more apart, SO that
oakum (tarred rope picked apart)
when driven into these cracks has
solid backing.
This dam affords a fall of so feet.
The water is conveyed from the
dam to the water wheel through a
23-inch iron pipe instead of the usu-
al hume. In the construction of
the dam 10000 feet of lumber, in
timber and plank, were used.
