CHAPTER xlII-continued.
Dick Gives His Word.

. To Dick Knights stammered question
whole sentence in that one word 'Fiva?'
Sir Peter gave no answer until he had
searched the young mans face with
long, keen gaze. Il see that in truth
you know no more of her than do he
said at last forgetting to be indignant,
because the man who had no right to love
n millfonaire's daughter had dared to
speak of her Intimately as Eve
Did you think that l knew, and lied
to you?' Dick demanded hotly.
II didn't think it, but l determined to
make sure bayond a shadow of doubt
Sir Peter answered., AS matter Of fact
1t was Lord Waverley who had feared an
slopement. Ewes maid had been cate
chised by Lady Drayton, VINO had re-
peated to her brother all she had CLEANED
concerning an affair" between the
heiress and her fathers discharged secre-
tary. and Waverley had, as tactfully as
possibly, limited his ideas to Sir Peter.
But Sir Peter did not tell this to Dick, and
honest eyes he was glad that he had not
been mistaken in him.
Lord Waverley and Lady prayton have
stopped behind in Tangier,' he went on,
lin the hope of getting hold of some clue:
and of course the police are buzzing like 4
hive of bees. l have offered reward Of a
thousand pounds and no questions to be
consul advised that sum. Now that I'm
sure Evie hasn't come here to you when
we've had a talk I'll go back myself as
fast as the Lily Maid can steam, for it
was in Tangier we saw the last Of her,
and since you know nothing more than we
know. It's there we have the best hope Of
getting on her track. Great heaven! 1t
seems that there's curse upon me.

answered mine? Why 10 you suspect a
plot to kidnap the child? I suppose you
are thinking Of a scheme for a big ran

No" said Dick ''rhat is the obvious
thing; but it wasn't what I meant. There

A Fortune BY Accident.

Albert G. Burrage of Boston commenced
to accumulate his fortune of $40, 100000
by reading a newspaper account between
two rival gas companies. Looking up the
charter of one Of them he discovered some
irregularities which. ended in a forced
sale to the Standard Oil company. Bur
rage received 100000 for his work and
was taken into the Amalgamated Copper
company. =: Where one man makes his
money by chance, thousand. men make
theirs by long. patient work; by working
harder and better than their, competitors.
The best work is possible after using
golden grain belt beer because it re-
freshes and strengthens both body and
mind. Better order a case to-day.

California, Via Tourist, Over. the Roc
Island Railway.

In selecting route to California, the
altitude and climate of the country tray
ersed should naturally be given considera-
ton. The Rock Island system not only
has the shortest line to the Pacific coast,
but also. passes through a territory OF the
lowest altitude and a most genial tenn
perature. Beginning Wednesday. and
every Wednesday thereafter, the Rock
Island Railway will ruin a tourist car from
Minneapolis to Los Angeles without,
change over the Rock Island-El Paso
Route. leaving the Milwaukee depot at.
7:10 p. m. The car will be Of the latest
Pullman design and up te-date in every
respect and you may be assured OF a
most comfortable journey if you go this
way A double berth through costs but
$6, and a nicer way to California cannot
be gone over. Information and literature
on California can be had at the Rock
Island ticket office 322* Nicollet avenue

Mr.. Elmo Williams, of this town,
through a competitive examinations
has won the appointment to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, and his many
friends rejoice to learn Of his success.
That old Woodville is proud Of her
brainy young son. goes without saying,
but when tits learned that two sons Of
twin sisters are cadets, one at West
Point and another at Annapolis, is an
honor that falls to few, and there Is
cause to feel doubly proud. The lavish
use of money was unknown to these
boys, as they were reared In meager
circumstances, but they were taught
TO work, and during bogliood both
spent several vacations In our Office.
We were told, at the time, they we're
put here to keep them occupied. The
good results of such training Is In evi-
dence, and we, with the entire COM
munity, rejoice with Mrs. Richardson
and Mrs. Therrell, nee Mrs. Williams,
| in the success Of their boys. There Is
lesson to be learned FROM this, boys

The efficiency of the fire department
at the Oil Mill was tested last week
and we are glad to note that it proved
to be all that could be expected Of it,.
During last week four fires broke out
in the plant--three in the Gin and one
iu the Oil-mill-and all were extin-
guished promptly, and the total dam
age amounted to only S23 80. The
Mill is equipped with water tower
and hose to reach all parts Of the plant.
This demonstrated, on small scale,
the value of system Of water-works
to town, and we hope ere long our
entire town will be as well prepared
to battle with the fiery tiend as is the
Oil Mill. The employees Of the Mill
of course share in the honors, for the
small damage received, as all respond
ed readily to the alarm, and fought
faithfully and successfully.

Mrs. Margaret Lanehart, one OF the
oldest native residents of the town.
died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Robert Smith, on last Friday night.
She had been i'll for many weeks and
death came to relieve her of the great
suffering that had attended her ill.,
ness. The deceased was left widow
years ago with five small children, and
by her individual efforts, tireless en-
ergy and self-abnegation, reared them
to manhood and womanhood. To the
children and relatives we extend our
sincerest sympathy and coincidence.

The annual spring opening at G.
Sehafer's was largely attended by the
ladies of the town and community.
The store was beautifully decorated,
white andgreen being the most promi-
nent, and the display of Seasonable
goods, hung atrractively in every
advantageous place presented pleas
ing sighc. The beauty and grace in
which the goods were displayed in all
parts Of the store, was the artistic
work of Mr.. Trepagnier, who proved
himself an adept in this art. The
success of the display will doubtless
influence other of our merchants to
adopt a like method, for certainly it is
to their interest to do so.
