To Love and to Hate.

The auberge Of the Bon Chretien" in the
village of La Cavalerte, In the district Of
the Cevennes, held by the rebel Camisards,
had on a time been the residence of the
ancient prior Of the order of the Monks
Templar. who had indeed built the walls
and first held possession of the town.
AS usual the innkeeper was the richest
man in the little commune, though not for
the usual reason. He had not originally
belonged to La Cavalerie, but being of the
Camisard opinion he had transported him.

some ten years before 1t was whispered
that his wife, now dead, had not been
equally Jealous with himself, and that she
had lived long enough to indoctrinate the
little Yvette with her opinions.
Matrices room in the Bon Chretien"
was large, and, to the English eye, some

cony, with its outlook upon white road and
gray parapeted wall, made up for all else
In the chamber they found Martin Foy
with his own hands putting the finishing
touches to the arrangements.
You will find your sheets aired" he said
"and there is a bell upon the table which
you will be good enough to ring without the
door if you are in need of anything"
But" said Maurice, this will not do

cannon from the states general Of Holland
to the poor folk in sore travail on these
mountain tops?"
AS Martin Foy spoke there came instinc-
lively kind of chant into his voice, which.
Maurice had learned to recognize as the
sign-manual Of the Camisard prophet or
high preacher. 1t was II o'clock and be-
meath came the sound of a chanted psalm
Martin Foy started and went rapidly to-
ward the door.

Yvette Foy followed her father with her
eyes as he went out through the door. She
did not smile. Rather there was an ex-
ceeding bitterness In her great dark eyes,

Maurice followed her out on the balcony,

To feel a love that like the bestows

Increase In Expross Ratas

The local express Office has received
notice OF a general advance on pack
ages under 100 pounds in weight.
fwo'pounds packages, formerly TAX
ing rate of Is cents, go now at 30.
On three.pound packages the charges
are 40 cents instead of IS. The ad-
vance Is a agraduated increase on light
weight parcels only.
The new schedule went into effect
July l by joint agreement of the dif-
ferent express companies, and hence
forth shippers of packages weighing
less than fifty pounds will have to
bear the bHrden of the increase.
There is a small increase on G. O. D.
shipments.
While the express companies insist
that they have no association of Joint
agreement, the unanimity with which
they acted in lifting rates shows that
each knew what the other was doing.
The announcements do not contain
the signatures of the different com.

In view of the fact that Kandiyohi

ago with graphophone fakirs, the fol-
lowing from the Pipestone Farmers
Leader may be of interest to Tribune
readers:
The prosecution of W. J. Smith, of
Minneapolis, the graphophone swim.
uler, in justice court here last week
created no little interest among our
citizens. From what we can gather.
the story is about as follows:
The case in court here is that of Mr..
LorenzeD, who lives near the Rock
county line in this county, and from
the evidence given by him and his
wife it appears that short time ago
an agent called at their place and took
an order for graphophone at $500.
A few days later Mr.. Smith appeared
on the scene with graphophone and
large qua' tity of graphophone sup
plies aggregatlng $40. 90, which were
called for in the printed part of the
order and which had escaped the not ce
OF tie purchaser when he signed the
order. Mr.. Lorenzen was so astound-
ed by the proposition that he was
finally led to settle by giving his note
Tor S8O w, the commissions to the
salesman, freight etc. amounting to
that sum. OF course Lorenzen got no
talking machine, he got the exper.
ience, and talk enough to last him for
some time. He then came to Pipe-
stone to see what could be done about
the matter. This led to q complaint
being made and Mr.. Smith was gath
cred in by the Minneapolis police and
held for Sheriff Shepherd who went
up and took him in charge, arriving
here Wednesday evening.
Mr.. LOrenzen is g. German and be-
ing unable to speak English sufficiently
to make his story clear, Judge Rockey
suggested to him that he go to P. A.
Ewert, realizing that it would be diff.
cult for County Attorney ,Cadv to
understand him sufficiently to make
out the complaint. This he did. nav
log Mr.. Ewert SIS for his services,

to Go to Detroit, Mieh., whore Con.
vention will be Held Tuly 1919.
The young Methodists of Minnesota
are making great preparations for the
International Epworth League Con-
veation whic gathers in Detroit Mich,
on July 1919, inclusive. This great
gathering is the biennial muster day
of an army of over two million Chris
tian young people, and is q notable
event in this history of the progress
of the Methodist Episcopal church.
The best speakers and most able and
consecrated leaders pour out their
enthusiasm upon the gathered hosts
and send each individual delegate
back to his church and chapter
electrified and enthused for the evan
gelizing of the world.
The Minnesota representation to
these gatherings has constantly grown,
as the spiritual value and recreational |
possibilities have become more fully
appreciated by the Epworthians. At
the first International convention,
Minnesota was not represented by q
single delegate. But one person from
the North Star State attended the
second. At the third in Ontario,
Canada, there were nearly forty; at
the fourth, in Indianapolis, the
number had reached we'll towards 100;
and at the fifth, which was held in
San Francisco, two years ago, the
Minnesota delegation exceeded 200.
In speaking of the delegation for
Detroit, W. G. Calderwood, who is
president of the Minneapolis District
Union and one of the committee who
recently visited the convention city to
negotiate arrangements for the enter
tainment of the Minnesota delegation,
puts 300 as conservative estimate of
the number which will attend from
this state this year. A much larger
figure than this he claims is not i'm
probable. This estimate is based
upon the number of inquiries made
and the number of passengers already
actually booked for the trip.
MINES ota Headquarters will be in
the Woodward Avenue Baptist Church
which is centrally located at the
corner Of Woodward avenue and
Winder street. The Minnesota Sec
tion where the Minnesotans will be
entertained is in the vicinity of this
church.
