own grant demanded attention, and,
last, was anxious to put my castle on
it before snow flew.
When we had laid the foundation Of
the Indian settlement built my house
with the help Of skilled men 1t was
a spacious one Of hewn logs, chinked
with cat and clay plaster, showing its
white ribs or the hill above the Fox.
The men hewed a slab settle and
stationed It beside the hearth, thing
Of beauty in Its rough and lichen tinted
barks, though you may not believe It.
My floors / would have smooth and
neatly joined, Of hard woods which
give forth a shining for wear and pol
ish. Stools had, easily made, and
one large round of q tree for my table,
like an eastern taboret.
Before the river closed and winter
shut in Skenedonk and went back to
Green Bay. did not know how to
form my household and had It in mind
to consult Nine. Ursule. Pawnees
could be had, and many French land
holders in the territory owned black
slaves. Pierre Grignon himself kept
one little negro like q monkey among
the stately Indians.
Dealing with acres and with people
wild as focks would have been worth
while if nothing bad resulted except
our welcome back to Pierre Grignon's
open house. The grandmother hob
bled on her stick across the floor to
give me her hand. Nine. Ursule re-
preached me with delaying, and Pierre
said it was high time to seek winter
quarters. The girls recounted harvest
reels and even weddings, with dances
following, which I had lost while away
from the center Of festivity.
The little negro carried my saddle
bags to the guest room. Skenedonk
was to sleep on the floor. Abundant
preparations for the evening meal
were going forward in the kitchen. AS
1 mounted the stairway at Nine. Ur-
sule's direction I heard tinkle Of
china, her very best, which adorned
racks and drcssers. 1t was being set
forth on the mahogany board.
The upper floor Of Pierre Grignon's
house was divided by hall similar to
the one below. ran upstairs and
halted.
Standing with her back to the fad
ing light which came through one fan
window at the hall end was woman's
figure in a gray dress. I gripped the
rail.
My first thought was, "How shall /
tell her about Paul?' My next was,
What is the matter with hcr?'
She rippled from head to foot in the
shiver Of rapture peculiar to her and
stretched her arms to me, crying:
paul! Paul"

a VA dercd and sick as from a

that the high lady who
scarcely allowed me to kiss her hand
before we parted clung around my
neck. She trcmbled against me.
"Have you come back to your moth
er, Paul?'
"Eaglew I pleaded. Don't you
know me? You surely know Lazarre|
She kissed me, pulling my head down
in her arms, the velvet mouth like a
baby's, and looked straight into my
eyes.
Madame, try to understand! I am
Louis! If you forget Lazarre, try to
remember Louis!''
She heard with attention and smiled.

Still King.

There is no other crop yet raised
that can take the crown away from
King Alfalfa. The old reliable crop
is always in the lead year in and
year out Last season when the
Amity dam went out H. w. Koen
was forced to let his alfalfa, which
he intended to cut for hay, make a
seed crop, and the result was far be
yond anything he had dreamed.
One load which be brought to town
last week will probably stand long
time as the record for the valley or
any place else for load of any agri-
cultural product. The load weighed
14,303 lbs net of seed, and at 1O1
cent, the price paid, brought 81 ,511.-
26. This was only portion of the
seed raised on Mr. Koen's Hard.
scrabble ranch last season, and for a
crop raised without irrigation and
with very little labor certainly would
be hard to beat.

Fancy Prices For Orchards.

Two of the best orchards in the
vicinity of Manzanola sold this week
to Missouri parties. W. A. Colt dis
posed of his seventy acre home
orchard to j. r. Graham, of Harrion
county, Mo, for a consideration of
$4,000, and G. p Randall sold his
thirty acre orchard to F. f. Simpson
of the same place, for $4,000. Both
of these orchards have come to bear
ing age. The Randall orchard yield
ed about So, 715 profits last year.
Mr.. Colt is closing out his real es'
tate here preparatory to going east
where his interests claim his time,
and Mr.. Randall is uncertain about
leaving yet. He does not like to
leave a climate that has done so
much for him.-Manzanola Sun.

dramatist Ibsen. Sketches from his
life were read, showing how the ex-
periences of his boyhood and youth
had impressed his mind with great
truth which he conveyed to the
world through his writings, the
wrongs which humanity suffer from
conyentionality, selfishness and de.
ceit. Zola's biography was treated
in the same manner. Through his
books he strongly denounces the In
justice and evil of the social system
existing in France, America and
other countries. Mrs Robinson here
read an article on Zola's defense of
Dreyfus, addressed to the President
of France. Tolstoi, the Russian
Count, was the last and crowning
character considered. He proclaim
ed the same truths, exposing vice
and immortality in his writings, and
believed that the time would come
when the command Glove thy neigh.
