how Mary had been his housekeeper and
his nurse for six long years, during which
he had been helplessly confined to his

from his house, but from the parish; he
would be left in the hands of strangers

CHAPTER XIX.

During these days David led the life
of a solitary. He sometimes went to
the inn; he went to the village shop on
the green to buy what he wanted, and
he kept wholly to himself Except for
that daily visit to Gratnor, he talked to
no one.
From time to time I met him leaning
over the field gates, lettering along the
lanes. or sitting idly under the shade of
one of our high hedges. 1 suppose that
his loaing and wandering life had made
work of any kind distasteful to him. His
face was not pleasant one to gaze upon.
and for a stranger would have been ter
rifying At this time we knew from
Mary that he went nearly every day to
Gratnor, but we had no suspicion of
what was said or done there. My own
thoughts, indeed, were wholly occupied
with the fortunes of George Sidcote, and
I gave small heed to this sullxy hermit
David" 1 asked him, meeting him
one day face to face so that he could
not slip out of my way, why do you
never come over to Sidcote? Have we
offended you in any way?
NO. he replied, slowly, as if he was
thinking what he ought to reply-"no
1 don't know exactly that you have Of
Tended me-"
"Come over this evening and tell us
what you think about doing"
mo l don't think l can go over

"Choose your own time, but come be-
fore l go back to London"
George will be turned out of his place
before the end of the year. The old man
told me So Then he'll go, too. Mary
says she will go with George. Then 1
shall be left alone with Uncle Dan" He
laughed quietly. II think 1 shall go and
live at Gratnor, and take care of him.
We shall have happy times together,
when you are ell gone and 1 am left
alone with him.

suffering. L made no more attempts to
lead the. man back to better ways and
old habits
And all the time, every day David was
carrying on, slowly and ruthlessly, the
most systematic revenge, with the most
exquisite fortunes. Every day he went
to Gratnor and dangled before his vic
tim some of his property, and made him
buy 1t back bit by bit, hnggling over the
bargain; letting his uncle have 1t one day
cheap, to raise his spirits, and the
next at nearly its full value, so as to
crush him again. and even at times, af-
ter an hours bargain over a single cou-
pom, he would put it in the fire and de-
stroy 1t.
When David went away, the poor old
man would fall to weeping; this hard,
dry old man, whom nothing ever moved
before, would shed tears of impotent
and bitter rage. But he refused to tell
Mary what was troubling him.
Il can't tell you what it is" he said.
you don't know what the consequences
might be if I told you. oh, Mary, 1
am a miserable old mani L wish 1 was
dead and buried and that it was all over

fered."

There was pudding again to-day.

long while-not till Christmas. And I'm

Nonsense, uncle! You not afford a

FARMERS TO ORGANIZE.

The editors OF the state have an Az
ISOLATION. The retail dealers have
one. The implement sellers have or
ganized. The tree planters, the
poultry raisers, the stock growers, the
bowlers, and dozen ana one differ
ent interests have organized state as
sociatlons for mutual Improvement.
The agricultural interests is the larg-
est single interest In the state, EN-.
ploying more men, producing more
wealth, and dealing with more diff
entities than any. And still the farm
ers have no state association, though
the farmers are interested In some u
the organizatioEs named. WHY not
organize a state farmers association
which shall meet annually during the
winter at some central point to dis
cuss the varied questions which inter-
est the farmer, aud TO have some CEN
trial body from which the demands
OF the agricultural interest can be
voiced.
The Argus-Leader is led TO make
this suggestion because next week on
"Wednesday and Thursday at Huron
the farmers will assemble IN a grain
and forage convention. This move
ment grows out IL the efforts which
have been made this winter 70 stimu.

seed, and Its purpose Is To push II
along. Addresses are 10 be made by
men who have given years OF study
TO the problems Of the farmers Is
expected.
Al this meeting, IL would be good
plan To organize the State Farmers
Association, elect officers for the en-.
suing year, select a place for the meet
ing next winter, and name commit.
tee To prepare a suitable program
Socially tee association would be ex
ccedingly pleasant, and the educa
tional value To the members would bs
lnestimable. We hope this matter
will be considered nj the Huron meet
ing andthat some steps In this direc
ton will be taken.

The citizen Of Yaaktun are at pres.
ent busy discussing the intended pro-
ject OF supplying the entire town
with water from the Missouri river
and also TO light up the streets by
electricity. The trst movement 60
materialize the projects will be the
submitting OF the proposition OF
bonds TO vote OF the people. AS a
matter OF fact the city OF Yankton
has at present a water system which
Is not the very best and most OF the
factories and manufacturing plan Is
are supplied from wells and cisterns.
IL Is understood that well water In
these regions cannot be successfully
used In many instances and Iit Is
rather puzzling that the people Of
fankton have not seen this fault long
ago, although IL could be easily RENE
dice A town the size Of Yanknon,
with natural source 0f water supply
at hand should not hesitate moment
and accept these gifts that nature e.x-
tends To the people living therein.
Another good requisite OF a town is
It's lighting system. Well lighted
streets are sign Of an up-to-date
town. IL is modern improvements
that make modern town and as such
IL Is bound TO prosper and grow.
As for the electric lights IL is essen
tial TO say that they are failure in
Yankton; but this should not dis
couraged them since they have an in
stitution In their city that is able to
furnish the town with lights that are
reliable and have given entire salts
faction wherever introduced; namely
the Ideal Acetyiene Gas Company OF
that town. IL would be useless for us
To point out the merits OF acetylene
gas, as the enterprising citizen OF
Yankton know them. We hope that
the vote OF the people OF that town
will be in the majority for these i'm
rroyements, and by all means let the
town control and own them.

surd as impossible. The following Is
the clipping
A lively time with real western
trimmings Is reported from Utica

named Johnson, mounted on ponies
rode into the Kaiser saloon and pro-
ceeded 70 shoot up the place. An
elderly person named John Winter
knocked one Of the JohnsOns of his
nurse with club and the two left.
No arrests have as yet been made.
Not much damage was done.
We are under the impression that
the above mentioned gentlemen did
not ride into the saloon, mounted on
their horses, for that Is impossible
Tut might have entered the saloon

was as horrible as described In the
