'T'l not disclose your secrets, Man. | answered Miss Fanny. 1 T would thank you kindly, if I had any," said Nan.
 And then. suddenly, while Margaret was standing with her arms around Miss Fan. ny. she began to blush, and show signs oi | embarrassment.

 "Oh. for longer than that" protested | Margaret.

So am I. sir," she said archly. q am quite aS old as you are, I think This Is the first quarrel" Nan de- clared. and who knows how 1t will all erd? You are to come and stay as long as you please, and then after that you are to stay IS long as please"
 ueclare, Nan, you talk like an old Woman exclaimed Miss Fanny; where upon Nan laugh ed and said she had to be serious sometimes.
 And so 1t was arranged that Marsaret was to stay with Nan for an inde6nite period T hope you will come to see me occasionally, MT. Tomlin, and you. too Aunt Fanny" she raid with mock for manty. "We shall have days for receiv- ing company. just as the fine ladies do in the cities: and you'll have to send in your cards"
 The two young women refused to 20 fin the carriage.
 It Is so small and stufry," said Mar garet to Neighbor Torulin, and today I want to be in the fresh air If you please ST. don't look at me like that, or I can never go." She went close to him. "Oh IS 1t all true? Is 1t really and truly trne or is 1t a dream?"
 It is true." he said, kissing her. "1t true" Soiile
 T didn't think" she said, as she went along with Nan. ''that the world was as beautiful as it seems to be today"

Thereupon. Mir. Sanders waved his Aana

Thereupon. Mir. Sanders waved his hand | miscellaneouSly, as he would have de- scribed 1t, and moved away at a clipping gait, stirring up quite a cloud of dust as | he went. He reached Haicyondale. and
 at once sought out Major Tomiin Perdua.
 and found that a telegram had already been sent to Captain Buck Sanford. whose
 prompt reply over the wire had been. All skue vee," which was as satasfactocN as any other form of reply would have been-more so, perhaps, for it showed tha& the captain was in high good-humon
 Mir. Tidwen and Colonel Blasengamaaz. rived in time to eat a late suppan and the next morning found them all ready to take the train for Malvern. Major par~ due and MT. Sanders were in high Geakh. CT. Somehow their spirits always rose when a doubtful issue was to be faced < It seemed that everything either one of them said reminded the other of a story of humorous incident, and they kapt the car in Q roar until Malvern was reached.
 Mir. Sanders did not go at oncs to che hotel, but turned his attention to the various details which he had arranged for. Mir. Tidwell went to the hotel op- posite the railway station. while Major Perdue and Colonel Blasengame for obs vious reasons went to the rival hotel. There they found Captain Suck Sanders lounging about with a Winchester rife siung across his shoulder. A great many people were interested when this pale and weary-looking little man appeared in pub lie with gun in his hands and he was compelled to answer many questions. To all he made the same reply, namely, that he had been out practicing at a target.
 I'm getting so I can't miss." he said to Major Perdue. T wasted twenty-four cartridges trying to miss the bulls eye, but l couldn't do it. I don't know what to make of it," he complained. There must be something wrong with me. That kind of shooting don't look reasonable"
 Then he left his gun with a clerk in the hotel, and. taking Major Perdue by the arm, went into a corner and discussed the scheme which MT. Sanders had mapped out. They were joined presently by Colonel Blasengame; and as they sat there. whispering together. and making many emphatic gestures, they were the centre of observation. and word went around that some personal difficulty, in which these noted men were to act to- gether. was imminent.

me into the row7" inquired Captain San ford. You see; it's this way: If the boy can tbreak away 1t would be well for z serious accident to happen. and In tha' case you'll need a man that's perfectly willing to bear the brunt of such an ac- cident."
 wen see about that" said MT. San ders.
 Suppose it's a rainy day, Buck. what then7" asked the chief.
 And you a grown man!'' exclaimed Mir. Sanford. sarcdstically. Did you ever hear of a false alarm?" and with that and went out
 "I know Buck was pleased with your plan," the chief declared. He nodded at
 me time or two when you wasn't look ing. If you can work him into the row 1t will tickle him nightly, He ain't fiighty; he never gets mad; and he always knows just what to do and when to shoot"
 Thus, long before he became impatient enough to walk the streets. or seek con- solation on the court house steps, Mir. Sanders had made all the arrangements necessary for the success of his scheme He had sent a suit of clothes to a friend in Malvern, he had shipped three bales
 
 Stark, who had been informed of the use to which Mir. Sanders desired to put 1t; he had hired an OK cart, and made a covered wagon of 1t; and the yoke of oxen he proposed to use had been driven through the country and were now at Malvern.
 In short, no matter how deeply MT. Sanders might ponder over the matter. there was nothing he could think of to add to the details of the arrangement that he had already made.
 One morning, while Nan. who was on her way to borrow a book from Eugenia Claiborne. was leaning on the court house fence talking to Mir. Sanders, a solitary rider rode as fast as tired horse could fetch him. By the time this rider reached the public square. MT. Sanders had mounted the Hacking Roan, and was awaiting him. The rider was no other than Colonel Blasengame.
 He was The bearer of a telegram ad- dressed to Major Perdue "Consignment Will be shipped tomorrow night Reach Malvern next morning. Invoice by mail.'' This was signed by the firm of factors with whom Meriwether Clopton had had dealings for many years, and to Mir. San ders the message read. ''The prisoners will go to Atlanta tomorrow night, and they Will reach Malvern the next morn ing. This information can be relied on. "
 Its joy to see you. Colonel" cried Mir. Sanders. One more day of waltln' would "a pulled the rivets out. You know Miss Nan Darlington, don't you, Colonel Blasengame? I lay you used to daandle her on your knee when she was a baby"
 The ColonefSbowed lower to Nan than if she had been a queen. You were not to the tavern" Sremarked MT. Sanders. Meriwether Clopton wants the messen- ger to go straight to his house, an he'll be all the gladder bekaze it's you Gus Tidwell will drive you home In his buggy | in the cool of the evenin'. an you can l leave your hoss at Clopton's for a day or | two. Elf you see Tidwell Nan, please tell him that the Colonel is at Cloptons l I reckon youH be willin' to buss me honey, the next time you see me-"
 If you have earned 1t, Mir: Sanders ., said Nan, trying to smile.

 There was no longer any room for mis- understanding, Margaret's father, weak as he was, had been strong enough to . provide his daughter with remedy Tor the only serious trouble. short of bereave- ment, that his daughter was ever to know. She refused to return to the par Tor where he awaited her.
 Shall I go?" said Neighbor Tomlin.
 'If you please, sir," said Margaret, with a faint smils. She cou.d hardly realize the change that had so suddenly taken place in her hopes and her plans, so swift and unexpected had 1t been. \ Neighbor Tomlin went into the parlor, and made Bridalbin acquainted with the facts.
 Margaret has changed her mind," said Neighbor Tomlin. 'She thinks 1t Is best to remain under the care and protection of those whom she knows better than she knows her father"
 "Why, she seemed eager to go a mo- nent ago." said Bridalbin: land you must remember she Is my daughter"
 Her friends couldn't forget that under Ill the circumstances" Neighbor Tomlin remarked drily.
 'I believe her mind has been poisoned against me-" Bridalbin declared.
 That Is quite possible" replied Neigh DOT Tomlin; land think you could easily guess the name of the poisoner."
 May l see my daughter?'
 That rests entirely with her." said Neighbor Tomlin. But Margaret refused 10 see him again. Since her own trou- bles had been so completely swept away, her memory reverted to all the troubles her mother had to endure, as the result of Bridalbins lack of fixed principles, and she sent him word that she would prefer not to see him then or ever after ward; and so the man went away, more bent on doing mischief than ever, though he was compelled to change his field of operations.
 And then, after he was gone, a silence fell on the company. Nan appeared to be in a dazed condition, while Miss Fanny sat looking out of the window. Margaret very much subdued. was clinging to Man, and Neighbor Tomlin was pacing up and nown in the library in a glow of happi- ness. All his early dreams had come back to him, and they were true. The romance of his youth had been changed into reality.
 Margaret was the first to break the siI- ence. She left Nan, and went slowly to Miss Fanny, and stood by her chair. What do you think of me?" she said, in 0 low voice.
 For answer, Miss Fanny rose and placed her arms around the girl, and held her tightly for a moment, and then kissed her.
 But do think, my dear" she said with an effort to laugh, that the matter might have been arranged without fright ening us to death." T had no thought of frightening you Oh. am afraid I had no thought for any thing but my own troubles. Did you know? Did you guess?" T knew about Pulaski, but had to go away from home to learn the news about you. Madame Awtry called my attention to it, and then with my eyes open. could see a great man things that were not visible before" Why how could she know?" cried | Margaret 'T have talked with her not i more than half dozen times"

She went in very uuiet- ly' greeted her old friend in a subdued manner and then sat staring at her with an expression that Mrs. Lumsden failed to understand.

MAHASkA REPUBLICANS.

The Mahaska republicans in con-
vention assembled Saturday afternoon
endorsed the administration of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Governor Cum
minis, and c,mplimented in the high
est terms the work of Mjor Lacey
in the congress Of the United States.
They also took occasion to extol the
cardinal principles of republicanism,
protection and Sound money" and to
find in the present prosperous condi-
tions of the country fulfillment of
their promises to the voters in many
hard fought battles. The local ticket
selected is one of the best that was
ever brought before the people, and
should, as it no doubt will, receive the
same unanimous endorsement at the
polls, that it did in the convention.
Never before did republicans OF
Mahaska county seem more solidly
united and determined to succeed
than they are this year. There was
not the slightest manifestation of dis
cord in the convention and no sore
spots were exposed. Though of course
out of the great field of candidates
that presented themselves for recog
milton there necessarily were many
disappointments, yet the defeated
candidates like true blue republicans
submitted to the will Of the majority
and will be found among the most en-
thusiastic supporters Of the ticket
Naturally Mahaska county is solidly
republican by from 400 to 500 major
ity, and there never was better time
or a better reason to demonstrate this
fact than upon election day next NO
vember. The success Of the whole
ticket should be the watchword OF ev
cry voter interested in the future wei
fare of his country, state and county
and scratching and trading, which
have cost the party so much In the
past, should be relegated once and for
ever. The record of the party has ev
erything to commend our standard
bearers are loyal and deserving, the
times demand our best efforts. Lei

HORSES AND CATTLE KILLED.
In Three Townships. of Plymouth
County People Sought Cellars.

Special to Daily Herald.
LeMars, May 27.--Later reports Of
the haiistorm which swept over por-
ton Of Plymouth county Sunday show
that the storm was the heaviest ever
known. Grant, Elgin and F'redonia
townships were swept by q terrific
downpour of hail, accompanied by
some wind. Horses, cattle and hogs
were killed by the storm and a num-
ber of cattle were killed in the over
flow of the Floyd river between here
and Seney. Hailstones bigger than a
mans fist fell and pounded holes
through the roofs of houses. Many
people took refuge in cyclone caves.

the wind first crushed in the roof and
side walls, then hurled the huge
smoke stack down, finishing the
wreck. Two large boilers had Just
been removed, hence only one was
partially demolished. The electric
dynamo in the south part of the build
ing is intact. The damage here is
probably $4,000.
The north wing of the evaporator
at the canning factory was blown off,
while the brick walls on the north
end of the storage room collapsed,
carrying down the roof. The loss
here is $500.
The new city standpipe just COM
pleted at cost of $1,SOO, was blown
down and badly demolished. 1t had
been emptied of water to paint the in
side. Had it been filed with water it
might have stood, ,as the old one
which was full was not injured.
A small tenant house belonging to
VIM. Coziahr mile west of town,
was blown to pieces. Mr.. Mitchell's
family, coming here recently from
Waubonsie, was in the house at the
time. Strange to say, none of them
were hurt.
Two small houses southeast from
the Ridgeway lumber yard on the fiat,
were twisted from their foundations
by the wind and then partially sub
merged by the rising waters of Keg
creek. These houses were occupied
by John Miles and Mrs. Williams,
both colored
The Keg creek waters spread over
the fat and at IL o'clock were the
highest on record, and the creek is
still raging torrent. Travel on
many other roads is also impeded by
barb wire fences and other obstruc.
tions.
Only about one-flfth of the telephone
wires of the city are in use. Early
in the storm the telegraph wires be-
tween Glenwood and Pacific Junction
were down, cutting off communication
with the outside world
Nine Killed In Missouri. =
Blanchard, Ia, May 27.--A most
destructive and fatal tornado struck
the town of Elmo, Mo, eight miles
south of Blanchard, and just across
the Missouri state line last night.
Nine persons were killed outright
and five wereN injured, some Of whom
may die.
The dead:
G. c. Calhoun.
Cassius Bel.

Leonard Bradley.
Minton HUFF.
Gus Huff.
Oren Srangler.
d. l.. Starkes.
George Perry.
The storm came from the northeast
and first struck the Wabash depot
The Masonic temple was the next
building in its path and it was demol'
ished. On the lower floor Of the tenn
pie was located q general merchan
disc store, and in the store was gath
. cTeu u uuulDSI "a l1O NAIAHCho "a ShN
town. The building was torn tc
! pieces before any warning was receiv
| ed and the victims were buried be
meath the wreckage.
OF the fourteen persons in the store
only five escaped death, and these re
ceived injuries which in two or three
cases may prove fatal.
Throughout the town but few build
ings were left standing. After leav
ing Elmo the storm continued into the
country in a southwest direction, and
it is feared that more fatalities have
occurred. Several dwellings are
known to have been blown to pieces
but the fate Of their occupants is un
known.
A deluge of rain added its share tt
the misfortune of the stricken people
and to-day the homeless inhabitant
are being cared for at the few remain
ing homes that escaped the fury of thu

A NOTED IoWAN.

In the oath of Hon. M. A. McCoid OF
Fairfield, the state has lost q unique
character and representative citizen.
He was distinguished as statesman,
lawyer, patriot, orator and author, and
won enough renown in each calling to
satisfy most men. After the war, in
which he took conspicuous part, he
was selected prosecuting attorney of
the old Sixth Judicial district, posi-
tion ne held for four years. He was
a member of the Iowa senate from
1872 to 1879, and was chairman of the
judiciary committee OF the Seventh
general assembly. In 1879 he was
elected representative in congress
from the First Iowa district, and serv-
ed in the Forty-sixth, Forty-seventh
and Forty-eighth congresses. Round
ing out his career as a successful at
torney he in late years drifted into
lierature, and left behind him several
notable works. Among his books is
John Williamson Of Hard Scrabble,
a novel in which is depicted the early
struggles of Iowa pioneers. The story
is nicely told, and the book is one
without which no Iowa library is COM
plete.

CARD FROM Mr.. KENWoRTHY.


publican Convention, Gentlemen
cannot convey in words my grateful
ness to those of you who supported
me for Senator. Towards those WHO
saw fit to prefer another to myself for
that high position, have nothing but
the kindest of feelings. To all re-
publicans in the county, want to say
let soreness and disappointment that
may have come out of this contest be
forgotten and remember only that the
good of the republican party is above
every personal consideration. Permit
me to say that the personal interests OF
any man are as nothing compared to
the general good derived from republi-
can successes. Let every republican
then put on the full armour and with
argument, kindness and charity for.
all labor increasingly until the close
of the poles for the election of the
entire republican ticket. Mahaska
county the proundest and best in the
Empire state of the west, can no long
er afford to be divided upon factional
lines, but should present a solid front
against a united democracy, and ought
and will hold up every republican,
nominated last Saturday, and il YOU
will do as / shall do there will be no
democrat holding a county Office after
next January. Sincerely yours,
May 25, '03. w. S. Kenworthy.
