Jerry Nowlin, who has spent the
summer in Rapid, returned to winter
quarters.
w. V. Hoisington returned last week
after a years absence, most of which
was spent in California.
B.F. Mcdonald returned to his home
at Redtield last Tuesday. He suffered
from homesickness.
CDR" Minnick left here last week
and as he bought ticket for Cali

Thomas Cannot and w. @. Foster,
both of Lead, were admitted to the
Home this week. Both we're much out
of health and thankful to find snug
harbor.
Pete Brocha, who went out of the
Home nearly two years ago on matri-
monial ~enture, has returned to his
old love and is again member of the
Home family.
We art encouraged to hope that our
steam pant will be put in condition to
work properly before winter sets in.

all kinds can be grown here with very
little trouble under ordinary circum

Under orders to proceed with all possible
haste to Norfolk, Va, and thence to Pana-
ma, Lieut.. David Van Allen arrived in this
city today with three-year-old child he
had never seen until a couple of hours be-
fore. When he alighted from the train and
found no one waiting to claim the little

it over to him. mot for me-" said that

The lieutenant was In despair, for his
train was about to leave. and to get to
Norfolk in time to join his ship he had to
go with it. Lieut.. Van Allen left the train
at Nazareth, thirty miles south of Louis
Vile, this morning to take a turn down the
platform. An old man and his wife APP
preached and asked Van Allen If he would
take charge of the child and turn it over to
some one who would meet it in Louisville.
When he reached here no one appeared to
claim it, and he was in despair until he
finally got rid of it. 1t was placed in a

have arrived In London, coming direct from
Madrid. Sir Henry intends sailing for
America on the Etruria on November 81.
Lady Durand and Miss Durand will remain
in England about a fortnight longer, but
expect to reach Washington by Christmas.
The successor of Sir Michael Herbert is a
man who looks barely past middle age, and
has a frank open manner that will in all
likelihood create a favorable impression
among his diplomatic and other associates
in the American capital. His bearing IS
most courteous and his voice is of pleas
ant, even tone. He is rather tall, broad
shouldered and with high forehead and
slightly prominent chin.
The new amba ssador gives the impression
of having force and personality.

He, on his part, appeared to realize all
at once that the time for Formally had

in the tapestry behind the Ethelns's chair
and began monotonously to recite his les

him. "Fridtjof! 1t is not possible that

upon the step and bury his face in his

covered his wind and his place.

power.

came in around the ill-fitting windows the
flare of the torch flames sounded loud as
the hiss of serpents.

quiet. If go in peace" he repeated
slowly. And If we do not?'

Again there was silence.
Sebert put his last question: How long

boisterous laughter. 1T is not lie about
