COUNTY SEAT NEWS.

Kiowa, December 2.-The long looked
for and much talked Of broncho riding
on Thanksgiving day was a great sue
cess. There were about four hundred
people in town and everything went off
nicely, no accidents occurring to mar the
enjoyment OF the almost perfect day.
The riding was excellent and the horses
were vicious. Frank Girardot took first
prize and Ira Wians took second prize in
the first class riding, and Joe Huber, Jr.,
took first in the second class. The dance
in the evening was largely attended and
greatly enjoyed.
Richard Protze, son of julius Protze
of Norton, was married in Denver
Thanksgiving day to Miss Lena Chris

Misses Jones and Anderson spent their
Thanksgiving vacation in Denver.

CHAPTER I.-ContInued,
What the Moon Saw.

What the Moon Saw.
The men bent to their oars in pursuit of
the strange yacht, which was scudding
away from them now on fresh puff Of
wind. 1t seemed as if the vessel knew
that her secret was in danger and was
bic fate. But the third officer had a
watchful eye on the yachts sails, and
presently called to his crew to easy. They
hung on their oars, the boat forging on
over the shining water with its own way;
and a moment later the yacht came up
In stays, staggering, with all her wide
spread canvas Tapping uncertainty.
STEADY now" cried the third officer;
and he steered to the yachts lee side.
Dick Knight was crouching in the boats
bow, ready to be the first to spring on
board the derelict. He had claimed this
dangerous post from Sir Peter. The boat
crept up. Only ten yards of noonlit wa
ter separated them from the white yachts
side. Now they could read her name,
xenia, a discovery which did nothing to
lessen the mystery. The name of Xenia
might belong to one of many countries.
No gangway was lowered, no Jacobs lad
der hung over her side; there was moth
ing to show that any one had lately board
ed or left the silent craft Her smooth,
white side rose high above the tossing
boat, and Dick wondered If he should sue
coed in getting on board. @
Suddenly the third officer gave the or

and the sailors vigorous strokes only just
kept the boat clear. The bowsprit came
swinging overhead. Knight saw hi:

dolphin striker, pulled himself upwards

Cling, they seemed to be but the voice of
the deathly silence which lay heavy as
a curse upon the yacht. The round. bright
moon stared down on the deserted deck
like great all-seeing eye: Knight clam
bered along the bowsprit, jumping light
ly down, ran quickly across the blank
white space, his own black shadow follow
ing at his heels like a covering evil thing.
The light wind had dropped, as If it
stopped to hear the yachts secret cried
out aloud; and knight, springing to the
helplessly swaying wheel, grasped it with
a steadying hand, so that the boat might
approach again in safety If she made
haste. Then, when presently he, felt the
faint thrill Of her bump against the side.

The elder man was strong and wiry,
used to yachts and most emergencies Of
yachting. He came up stoutly, with a
gruff word Of thanks to Knight for the
help he gave; and in moment the boat
was away again, out Of danger.
Sir Peter steadied himself, and stood
silent for an instant, grasping the rail.
The penetrating sense Of mystery, and
something hidden, waiting to be found,
out, had caught hold Of him, as it had

poets. The girl, understanding the reticence
of the young man. induces him to make love
to her. Her father hears the confession, for
which the girl takes the responsibility. Tho
father, who made his money In South Africa
however. discourages the idea, Knight is
neither rich nor a genius. 1t is arranged that
the private secretary shall leave at Tangier
In the meantime the yacht comes a

board and Sir Peter and the secretary, with
volunteers from their crew, resolve to board

Expositions Of Bible Texts Yesterday Me
With Favor.

"That is just what we need" was the
expression heard from many lips at the
close Of DR.. Gray's Bible reading yester-
day afternoon. The lecture-room of West
minister church was well filled with men
and women interested in Bible study. DR..
Gray took up the exposition Of the first
chapter Of the first Epistle Of Peter, which
contains, in the third verse, the theme of
the whole epistle, "tl1e living hope He
said that John was the apostle of love,
Paul of faith and Peter of hope. Step by
step he advanced thru the first twelve
verses, bringing out the teaching of the
apostle in rich fulness. DIR. Gray gives
life and color to his expositions which
remove them to the greatest degree from
dryness. He clothes the skeleton of his
analysis with living flesh and makes it
speak with power. It was the universal
testimony after the meeting that such
privilege had not before come to Bible
students in this city.
Last evening Mr.. McGranahan led a
service Of song, after which DR.. Gray ex-
pounded the doctrine of reconciliation
found in the first chapter of Colossians.
Mr.. McGranahan desires to meet all who
will assist in the chorus, in the chapel this
evening at 7:15.

BORROWED DRINK MONEY
But John Brown Was Not Guilty of
Non-Support.

But John Brown Was Not Guilty of
Non-Support.
Because his wife said that John
Brown, a molder, residing in North
east Minneapolis, tried to pawn her
furs in order to buy drinks,
he was arrested FOR nonsupport. He
told the court that he gave
all his money to his wife, but admit
ted that he borrowed some of it back
to buy drinks. AS he gave the wife
the money, it was shown that, if it
was given back to him, he was not
to blame and the case was dismissed.
'All the trouble comes from his
drinking too much,' said Mrs. Brown,
on the stand. when he gives me
money he then comes and borrows it
back. If I don't give it to him he is
mean and beats me and misuses me
dreadfully. The other day he took
my furs to saloon and pawned them
for drinks. I had to get a policeman
to get them back
IT give her every cent make, . said
Brown in his own behalf. "Since I
have been at work I have given her
$119. I have besn at work just five
weeks.
Eyes, I borrow SO cents occasionally
to buy drinks with, but that is not very
often. I am willing to support her
and give her the money which I
make.
