July morning when Mrs. Pennington
came out on the porch and greeted
young David Green, one of Mary's ad-

Pennington.
Yes said Mary. Hes been away
two whole days"
The sigh with which this was said
brought a laugh from the other two.
Mrs Pennington seated herself in the
rocker
why, Mary" she said, lis this your
embroidery on the floor? Pick 1t up
before it gets dirty"
The girl leaned back comfortably

young man did so. But Linda bit her

"No-yes-well. don't know as

The significance of the stone did not
enter Linda Pennington's mind, for it
was many years since she had thought
Of such things MARY, you know you
may not receive presents of jewelry
from young men," she was beginning,
but the words died on her lips. Mary
and David, looking for some sign Of
approval, read in her face grief, disap

girl. We've been engaged since
Christmas. Before | visited Florrie

I'D see. Then while | was away he
kept writing to me-and | always did
like him best of any of the boys-so |
just had to say yes He's so obsti-
nate, Dave is, he wouldn't take no.
"Of course | am very much surpris-

herself to speak. Il think you are
both too young to talk of such things. !

Mrs Pennington rose in wrath from

You are giving up carelesSly what |

always regret giving up. don't often

Mary sprang up and stamped her
foot ansrly. We'll. won't" She
cried. And you can't make me; I'm
nineteen years old"
Linda sank back in the chair with
trembling lips The mother who had
eloped was speaking through her
daughter. Mary. if you love me-" she
pleaded, but she knew it would be no

David drew his sweetheart toward
him. He had been a silent. troubled
witness of the scene Now he spoke
quietly.
It's like this, Mrs. Pennington. we

ATTEMPT TO TAKE LIFE.
Powder Placed in Furnace Causes an
Explosion.

An attempt to take the life of ].
Carl Southwick, a prominent business
man of Watertown and grand chancel-
lor commander of the Knights Of Py-
thias of South Dakota was made Sat
urday night in a peculiar manner. In
the basement oe Mr.. Southwick's S block
he has small furnace which he used
exclusively for the purpose Of hsating
water. Into this furnace some one
put a quantity Of black powder, and,
when Mr.. Southwick attempted to
start a. fire in it, he was seriously in
jured by the explosion, which blew
the windows out of the basement and
all plaster off from the partitions.
Fortunately, not one of the many
pieces of flying iron struck him so as
to inflict mortal wound, but the
burnt powder which flew into his face
injured his eyes very badly. What mo-
tive any one could have had for the
attempted killing is mystery, and
no clue t. the guilty party has been
found.

NEW TOWN CREATED.
Brentford, S. D., Is Laid Out on New
Line of Road.

Brentford, S. D., Is Laid Out on New
Line Of Road.
The Minneapolis & ST. Louis rail-
road has created a new town on it's
Missouri River extension
which promises to boom as success
fully as Florence. Brentford is the
name of the new South Dakota city
located In the northern portion Of
Sphinx county, midway between Conde
and Mellette. This is the third of the
new towns which have been created
the other two being Florence and Wal
lace, both in Codington county. The
new town is located in the heart Of
the famous James River valley, and is
from thirty to thirty-fve miles from
competing towns on other lines, with
an immense and very rich territory
surrounding it. The town has just
been plated by Thomas A. Way of
Iowa, the company's townsite agent,
and, although only two or three days
old, there is rush for the new place,
duplicating that which took place, and
is still taking place in the Coding-
ton county town. The grading work
on the new road is being pushed fever
ishly, and the company confidently ex-
poets to have the rails laid into Conde
and perhaps further by the middle of
July. No trouble has yet been ex-
perienced by the road in securing
laborers, although they are going and
coming daily.

Suppression of Vice, saying he had re-

either the agent or Mr.. Comstock
himself might see Thaw to-day.

Mrs. Thaw's appearance before the
grand jury had been looked forward
to with considerable interest, as it
was thought she possibly would take
advantage of the opportunity TO throw
some additional light upon the trag-
edy. When she appeared and request
ed to be excused from testifying the
jury took the view that for the pur-
pose of an indictment her evidence
was not necessary.
Without becoming excited IL the
least, but in a calm and rather force
full manner, she said clearly. with EN-
phasis on each word:

Hampers With Witnesses.

At practically every term of state
circuit court held in Lyman county
during the last few years the court
officials have been annoyed by the
attempts Of various parties to tamper
with witnesses in cattle ''rustling'
and other cases of grand larceny. In
consequence Frank Dillon of Presho
and J. T. McIlvenna, a saloonkeeper
of Reliance, were required to appear
before Judge Smith and show cause
why they should not be punished for
contempt for tampering with wit
ness in the case of Presho saloon
man who was arrested on the charge
of selling liquor on Sunday. After
hearing the evidence Judge Smith
fined Dillon $40 and imposed fine OF
$50 in the case of McIlvanna.
