mo, no; l can't show it even to you,
Trothy," she said. mot to any one!
And l am not going to buy anything
with it, but going to keep it as long
as ever l love!"
She did not see "Mr. Temple" again
that day, and did not think Of him or
the hard, unjust things he had said of
Yorke; and if she had, it would have
been to laugh at them. Yorke tickle
and false! With that gift of his ris-
ing and falling on her heart, she
would not have believed an angel if he
had come to tell her anything against
her beloved.
The duke missed her all that after
noon-missed her very much. He had
got used to having her standing or sit
ting by his chair, and her sweet, low
pitched voice had been as a soothing
balm in his moments of pain. And
yet he could not wholly trust her, or
believe that she was better, and less
mercenary and self-seeking than the
rest of her sex. His keen eyes had seen
the change in her face when he had
spoken of Yorke, and he had told him
self that what he had prophesied was
coming true this artless-looking girl
with the clear, guileless eyes was al
ready aiming at a ducal coronet. 1t
did not occur to him that she might
love Yorke for himself alone; or if it
did, he put the thought away from him
and Rugged his old cynical mfstrust of
her sex.
The next day passed, and no YOrke
appeared; but on the morning of the
following one he got into the train at
Paddington on his way to Portmaris.
AS he did so, with a sigh of relief
and expectant happiness, he noticed
tall lady in black, with a veil over her
face, pass his carriage and enter the
next, and he was struck, in an absent
kind of way, by the grace or ner

mind the moment she passed the win

A few hours, and then! He lighted
q cigar and stretched his long legs to
the opposite seat, and thought. The
few days he had been absent from her
had taught the young man how com
pletely he was in love, and he was al
ready asking himself why they should
not be married at once.

! Then a reflection cut across his

turned up with the bill, and seemed
more inclined to lend some money

love letter means to a young girl VINO
is in love with the writer?
Leslie gazed at the one line in
Yorke's awful scrawi as MoSlem
might regard a verse from the Koran;
and not once or twice did her sweet
lips kiss the scrap of paper. Then
she examined the pendant more mi
nutely; and though her experience Of
jewelry was of a very limited char
acter, she knew that the gift was an
expensive one.
"It is to ogood, too grand for mel"
she said, and yet with a sensation Of
pleasure in its worth. Il should have
been as pleased if he had sent me a
bunch of flowers bought in the Lon
don streets. But, oh, how good of
him! And, after ALL it is not too
grand for his wife. He would think
nothing too rare, too costly for her.
Oh, my love, my love! If were
only more worthy of you!"
She found piece of ribbon and put
the pendant on it, and hung it round
her white throat, and the fire and
glitter Of the diamonds almost startled
her.
ct is just as we'll that may not
wear it openly-yet," she said to her
self, with a soft, shy laugh. 81 should
feel as if every one were staring at
me. l wonder whether I shall ever
get used to wearing beautiful things
like this? He would say yes; but l
feel now as if 1 never should be able
to do so without being conscious of
my splendor. But l must hide you for
the present, you beautiful thing"
And she arranged the pendant so
that it nestled over her heart, and
buttoned her dress over it, and there
it seemed to glow with a soft warmth,
as if it knew that it had come from
the hand of the man she loved.
Several times during the day she
stole up to her room and drew the
pendant from its hiding-place, and
looked at it with glistening eyes, and
| if Francis Lisle had not been blind to
everything but his awful pictures, he
could not but have been startled by
the expression in her face after one
of these visits.
But if the father were blind, the
children were not, and as they clus-
tered round her they looked up at her
with frank wonder in their wide-open
orbs, and one mite isped:
what makes 100 smile so, Misth
| LethIie? Have 90 been a good girl
and got a penny given 'oo?"
Eyes, I've got penny given to me,
Trothy," said Leslie, taking the child
up in her lap and kissing it. such a
beautiful, shining penny"
Show it to me-" said the little one
But Leslie put her hand in her
bosom with jealous, grudging smile

She ran up the street, and into the
house, and up the stairs to her own
room, her heart beating fast.
Locking the door first, she opened
the little wooden box and took out
the pendant, a glimpse Of which she
had caught as she stood beside the
duke.
But though the glitter of the dia-
monds pleased her, as it would every
woman, the few words in his handwrit-

the costly gems.

Is there a ministerial associa-
tion in Devils Lake? If there is
not, there should be. The prob
lem confronting the clergyman
are serious end sometimes almost
unsolvable. In the multitude of
counsel there is wisdom and the
ministers should get together and
plan their campaigns against the
common enemy. Such an associa-
tion will bring about the best of
fellowship, for as a rule the bet
ter we know men the more we
like them. Then, too, should a
time come when public opinion
had to be reached on a moral is
use, the fact that the Ministerial
Association was an institution
of our city, would facilitate much
in marshalling the forces for a
common and a righteous cause
The ministers are our leaders
on such occasions, and the lead
ers should make common cause.

Sneezes

The paper published at Stark

Like a tree frog or chameleon, it's
publisher takes on the color Of
whatever carrys it. Eighteen
or twenty months ago the little
fellow was at Mr.. Davis heels
looking up to him and asking
what kind Of service would be
acceptable. Now he is on Boss
McCormick's shoulders and has
taken on his tone and complexion,
and sneezes whenever Jimmie
of the Ferry takes snuff. To
show our readers how adulant
Tommie of Starkweather was,
we publish an editorial from his
paper under date of 18th of No
vember, 1904:
1T is now about time that
Ramsey county should be recog-
nized. The county has a man,
who has been a member of the
house for two sessions, and has
become a leader of that body. He
is a worker and not a drone he is
a man of power and influence,
and he has been selected for a
third time to represent our
county in the lower branch of
our legislature, and he too has
been requested by numerous
members-elect to become a can
didare for speaker. We refer
to the Hon. G.. w. H. Davis,
and we hereby nominate him
speaker of the House for 1905.
We believe that if Mr.. Davis
will consent to become a candi-
date, he can be elected hands
down."
What do you of Starkweather
and vicinity think of that? Com
ment is unnecessary.

Senator German has answered
the last role call and has been
mustered out. He died last Mon
day at his home. He has been
in active political life for twenty
five years, and was regarded as
one of the most astute politicians
of his time. He had great in
huence with his party. His adj
vice was generally good from a
democratic point of view. He
lacked that profundlty which be-
longs to a statesman. The pres
ent generation will remember
him as a shrewd, crafty man, but

will be lost with the great ma

1t is to be noted that the in
surgents are making a fight on
Davis only. Of course they are
opposed to the republican nomi-
nees for the state convention.
But their freshest energy and
what ability they can command,
are thrown venomously against
Mr.. Davis. Ands what is their
complaint? Simply that he ac-
cepted a primary bill that did not
include the state officers and
members Of congress. Mr.. Dav-
is has never been opposed to a
blanket primary law. He stood
for such while he thought there
was any chance to secure it, and
when the clamor arose against
it, raised by insurgents as we'll
as others, that the bill was a
"rich mans BILL" that it was
in the interests of the little
papers Of the state;;" that it was
a .'hold up game Mr.. Davis
did what Lincoln did; what Hem
ry Clay did; what Gladstone did
he effected a compromise, and
got as much of his favorite prin-
ciple into law as it was possible
at that time to do. Compromise
has been the feature Of legisla-
tive growth since parliamentary
government, in any form, has
been among men. 1t ruled in
the getting Of the rate bill and
the free alcohol bill. There is
no other way of progress sin leg
islative bodies, for the, simple
reason that when there is a radi-
cal difference of opinion, men
meet each other in the spirit of
compromise, those opposed yield
ing as little, the other securing
as much, as possible.
Why do not the insurgents
rail out against the seventeen of
their leaders who voted with Mr..
Davis for the present primary
law? They pass them up, tho
they did the same thing that Dav-
is did. The only possible expla-
nation is that Mr.. Davis is a man
who can not be used by any man.
He is a man of marked ability.
He leads rather than follows.
He willnot lend himself to scand-
alizing his fellow citizens, nor
stoop to plot against those who
have given the state a good ad-
ministration, and against whose
administration not even the red
tagged insurgents havIebeen able
to successfully place an accusation.
He has refused to join any cabal
and proposes if elected to 60 to
B ismarck, free to work for the
interests of the whole state. Is
this not the proper attitude of a
legislator? Would Ramsey county
voters respect him if he could con-
descendto the pettyfogging meth
DDS of the Tommie Thumbs Of
politics? He is far away and
above such methods, and that
is the reason that the high
priests of discomfort and scandal
in this county are opposed to
him.
