Samuel II. Dougal, retired engineer
officer of the British army, answered
her advertisement. They were never
married, but Dougal took up his resi-
dence at the farm, and it was given
out that Dougal expected to purchase
the farm. After awhile Miss Holland
was missed, and Dougal explained
that she had gone on a trip to the
continent, though he did not know
her exact whereabouts, nor did he
know when she would return.
For four years the public did not
question the story, but during that
time several checks were presented
for payment at the London banks
bearing her signature. Many of these
were cashed without question, until
finally one bank teller pronounced
the signature a forgery. Dougal was
charged with forgery, and then the
public began to hint at the POSSIBLE
ity of a graver crime. Dougal could
not produce Miss Holland to testify
to the genuineness of the check, nor
could he tell her whereabouts.

Senator Nelson tells that he jour

out the slightest thought of relinquish-
ing his object, the constant sights and
ridicule of his fellow students.
Senator Nelson's personality an
nounces the staying qualities which
enabled him to realize the ambition
inspired by his first teacher. He walks

found three feet of Shiny mud, but
as yet no trace of skeleton was in

depths they brought a skeleton, that

Poor Norwegian Boy Who Rose from
Deepest 0bscurity and Now is
One of the Great Statesmen
OF the Hour.

The life Of Senator Knufe Nelson, OF
Minnesota, has in it the elements OF
purpose novel Of twofold intent. The
themes, which are closely interviewer,
are the powerful influence which the
early inspiring Of definite ambition
has in shaping life, and how success
is gained despite the most untoward
conditions. These points are clearly
brought out in a clever little sketch,
contributed by Antoinette Van Hoesen
to the Cosmopolitan.
A forsign-born American, Knute
Nelson came TO this country from Nor
way with his widowed mother when he
was less than five years old, and earned
his first money selling newspapers
upon the streets of Chicago. Later,
when he and his smother were settled
on little sandy farm outin Wisconsin,
his life was given definite direction
by one Mary Dillon, who taught the

tivated woman who came with her fam
lily to this country from Belfast, Ire

her home. There, for the first time he
saw the table-napery in use and tea

one of these occasions, in talking with
him of the famous personages of his
tory, Miss Dillon said:

guished man, Knute. You've a good
mind, and all you have to do is to be in
