CHAPTER XXI.
Through the Heart.

through the Heart.
It lacked several minutes of the
hour fixed for dinner when Blake
strolled through the hotel safe and
thence into the lobby. The babble Of
voices, the gesticulations and the
nervous energy which pervaded the
atmosphere were not in harmony
with Blake's feelings.
"Jessie was afraid l was going to
say something tonight, and so she
told me that she loved john" he
unused, throwing away half-smoked
cigar Dear old John! Lucky old
John! Hello, what's the row? That
sounds like Morris! l suppose he's
drunk. If he had spark of decency
he'd be with his father. Here he
comesw
Morris pushed his way through the
crowd and was followed by young
Kingsley. Not until he was within
a few feet of Blake did he recognize
his rival. Though anxious to avoid
meeting, Blake scorned to retreat
or to turn his back.
Morris stopped squarely in front OF
him. His lips parted with a sheer
and his fingers toyed with small
walking stick. Blake leaned careless
ly against a marble column, his eyes
fixed or the man who confronted him.
Had Blake been in a Western min
ing camp his fingers would have
reached for the feel of gun, but in a
metropolitan hotel he had no sense
of danger. The incident was trivial,
but disagreeable.
Lend me a thousand, Blake" de.
manded Morris.
A whisper passed around the room
and many turned to watch these two
men, whose names had filed the pub
lie prints Of the day.
Certainly" said Blake, a strange
smile lighting up his handsome face
"Is thousand enough, Morris"
Blake took a wallet from his inner
pocket and handed Morris bill.
"And a match" ordered Morris, ad
vancing a step nearer.

Had Fun With III. umplr..

William Hayes acted as umpire at a
ball game near Washington, Pa, last
Sunday, and his decisions did not
seem to give unmixed satisfaction.
Toward the close Of the game he gave
one decision which evidently gave
great pain to the players on both
sides. Half dozen Of them seized
and carried him to a nearby river and
tossed him in. Umpire Hayes scram.
bled out in hurry, whereupon the in.
dignant athletes threw him back and
held him under water until he was
nearly drowned. Then they rolled him
on a beer key until he recovered,
when they volunteered the informa-
ton that he was not cut out for an
umpire. On reflection Mr.. Hayes is
prepared to agree with this idea. How
ever. he means to sue a dozen Of his
assailants.

figure reel through the, smoke, and
they saw Morris fire again.
Like sharp echo came an answer
ing shot from Blake. He had half
fallen, with his right knee and left
hand on the marble floor. Morris's
second shot was aimed over his head
at John Burt, who had dashed at Nor
ris and was almost over the wavering
figure Of his friend.
When Blake fired, Morris arms
went up with jerk. His revolver
fell with a crash on the floor.
"God!" Morris cried.
Like column pushed from It's base
he fell. He turned half over and
lay motionless.
1--WE got him, John" gasped Blake,
land I guess he's got me! Are you
hurt, John?"
He again raised his. weapon un'
steadily, and pitched forward into
John Burt's arms.
Stand back and give the man air!'
roared John Hawkins, pushing aside
the morbid crowd which surged
around the motionless bodies. Bear
hand, John, Wen take Jim to my
ROOM"
With bated breath John watched
the surgeon as he opened the waist
coat and cut away the blood-soaked
shirt. For moment he laid his
head against Blake's breast. 1t seem
ed an age before the answer came.
HE lives" said the surgeon, reach
ing for an emergency case, He held
a vial to Blake's nostrils, and the
watchers saw the faint shudder which
told Of halt In the march Of death
Then the breast heaved convulsively
and James Blake opened his eyes and
looked squarely into John Burts face

John Burt, tenderly clasplng Blake's

locks from his forehead. "You are Q

but you must reserve your strength
and obey the surgeons"
# don't want surgeon-not now,
declared Blake, in stronger voice
and a quickening intelligence in hi

In so young a state as Minnesota it
is not often that the people have the
opportunity to send to Washington as
their representative man born, raised
and educated within the limits of his
own congressional district.
But in Cleve W. Van Dyke OF Alex
andria, Democratic nominee for con.
gress in the Sixth district, there is
offered for the suffrages of the voters
a man who, besides filing all the con-
siderations of local pride, is a man
whose every act has been honest and
manly, a man whose Judgment and
business ability are known and re-
spected at home, whose record in edu'
cational and other lines of endeavor
where he has been tested is such that
if he is elected the people will have no
fear that they have at Washington a
man who can be safely trusted tC
zealously guard their every interest.
With his record of self-help behind
him, with the consciousness that he
has been true to every trust reposed
in hin, in the past, none will doubt that
as the peoples representative in
congress he will look after the
school interests of his state, that he

home and believes that he can build
cheaper with cheaper lumber. He be-.
lieves that legislation should be enact
ed for the control of the trusts and
that the merger of competing railroads
is no nearer right today than it was
two years ago. He believes that
the interstate commerce commission
should be given greater power to reg
ulate interstate commerce and to ad-
just rates.
Cleve W. Van Dyke was born near
Alexandria, Douglas county, Mimi, his
father and mother having been among
the early settlers of the county, taking
homestead few miles from Alexan-
dria on their removal from St. Cloud
in the pioneer days of the Park region.
His father was descended from Ger
man and his mother of Swedish de-
scent, and he has the characteristics
of both nationalities
At fourteen young Van Dyke was
working on a farm and attending a
district school,; at eighteen he had
graduated with honors from the
high school at Alexandria. Then he
served his time as country school
master for three years, and at twenty
one he was student at the University
of Minnesota at Minneapolis. His ed.
| ucation was entirely the work of his

state.
His first Office was county supeTfn-
tendent of schools Of his native county.
He vas elected In 1896 and hie record
in this position is an envtable one
During his administration be brought
the schools of Douglas county to such
a high plane; his work was so original
and yet so striktngly effective that his
methods attracted the attention of
leading educators OF the state. An ap-
probation was his election in 1900, at
the session held at st. Cloud, to the
presidency OF the Northern Minnesota
Educational association, and his term
In this high Office marked an epoch in
that organization.
He was reelected In 1893 as county
superintendent, and in the face of a
violent opposition in which he, as the
recognized leader OF his party in the
county. drew the guns of the opposi-
ton, he carried all but five precincts
in his county. He ran 1900 votes
ahead OF his ticket and was the only
member Of his party to win in that
election An evidence OF his party
activity Is shown by the fact that he
has served as chairman of his county
committee for the past six years, was
member of the state central commit.
tee for four years and in 1902 he took
a prominent part in the campaign of
Dr.. J. A. Du Bots for congress.
His political popularity has been
shown in Douglas county, his home,
but he has more than that. He has
the friendship and respect of every
body tn his county. In his Alexandria

mother and younger brothers, he is the

Meaning Of Orange Biossoms,

The orange tree is regarded az q
prince among trees, and the emblem
of genius. A peculiarly of this tree
is that it bears fruit and flowers al
the same time. Its leaves are ever
green, and as it grows older 1t grows
in beauty and fruitfulness, it blossoms
filing the air with their fragrance.
It is indeed fit emblem of marriage
promise and hopes. The orange tree
Is considered typical Of love, because,

and scent delicious, It's rind Is hittex.
