wildered over the fashion in which truth
was lending itself to the need of false~
hood.

sorry for him: he must have loved my

James felt a sort of pleasure at hearing
the girl express, all unknowingly, sympathy
for her dead father. The tears actually
stood in her eyes. THE queerest thing to
me is that woman" she added musingly
after a minute. Then again her face light
ened. why, l do believe she was his Sis

why she was SO dreadfully upset when
she heard he was dead poor thing. Well,
of course can't help feeling glad that am

tear rolled visbly down Clemency's cheeks.
Then she got out her handkerchief ana
sobbed violently. "Oh, | haven't realized,
she moaned," II haven't realized until this
minute how terrible it Is that she WASN'T

suffering overhead, and he had lit his lamp
and dressed, thinking that he might be
needed. Gordon stood in the doorway al
most Keeling. He made an effort before he
spoke.
Come into my office. will your he
said.
James at once followed him. Going
through the hall the sounds of agony be-
came more distinct When they entered the
office Gordon fairly slammed the door, then
he turnedSto Elliot with a savage express
sion. Hear that he said, as If he were
accusing the other man. Hear that,
say, The last hypodermic has not taken
effect yet, and her heart is weak. If give
her more"
He stopped, staring at James. his face
worked like childs. Then suddenly an al
most idiotic expression came over it. the
utter numbness of grief. Then it passed
away. Again he looked intelligently into
the young mans eyes. eff don't give her
more" he gasped out, "if don't, this
may last hours. If do"
The two men stood staring at each other.
James thought of Clemency. HAS Glenn
ency been in to see her?' he asked.
Eyes, she heard, and came in. I sent
her out. She Is In her own room now;
Emma is with her" Suddenly Gordon
gave a look Of despairing appeal at James.
"I-wish you would go up and see Clara"
he whispered.

Gordon gave long sigh, his face was deathly white

and for the most part snowless winter,
which had occasioned much sickness, the
spring brought frost and light falls Of STOW,
which seemed to give new life to people in
spite Of unseasonableness. James had had
little difficulty in attending to most Of the
practice, although he was necessarily away
from home the greater part Of the time.
However, he often took Clemency with him.

buggy reading book while he made calls
Then there were the long drives over SOIL
tary roads, which, though rough, causing
the wheels to jolt heavily in deep ridges Of
frozen soil, or sink into the red mud almost
to the hubs, as the case might be, seemed
like roads of Paradise to the young man.
Although he himself greved for Gordon's
wife, and Gordon himself filed him with
covert anxiety, yet he was young
and the girl was young, and they
were both released from miserable sense
of insecurity and mystery, which had irri-
tated and saddened them; their thoughts
now turned toward their own springtime, as
naturally and innocently as flowers bloom.
There was grief and the shadow of trouble,
but of past trouble; their eyes looked upon
life and love and joy instead Of death, as
heplessly as a flower looks toward the sun.
They were happy, although half ashamed

room. She was very pale. Doctor Gordon
sent me down for the brandy" she said
abruptly. She went to the table on which
the brandy flask stood, but she seemed in
no hurry to take 1t.
How is she?" asked James.
II think she is little Quieter." The
nurse stood staring at the fire for a second
longer. Then she took the brandy flask and
went out with a soft, but Earring, tread.
Doctor Gordon must have passed her on
the stairs, for he returned almost directly
after she had left, and stood with his
back to James, fussing over some bottles
on the shelves opposite the fireplace. He
stood there for some five minutes. James
glancing over his shoulder saw that he was
trembling in a strange rigid fashion, but
he seemed intent upon the bottles. The
house was very still again. Gordon at last
seemed to have finished whatever he was
doing with the bottles. He left them and
sat down in his chair. The dog left James
and went to him, but Gordon pushed him
away roughly. Then Gordon spoke to James
without turning his face in his direction
II wish you would go upstairs" he said
hoarsely. Mrs. Blair is alone, and IL
am about done too"
James obeyed without a word. When he
reached the head of the stairs he felt q
sudden draught Of cold wind. Mrs Blair
came out of the sick room, closing the door
behind her. Her face looked as stern as
fate itself. James knew what had hap
pened the moment he saw her.
James began to speak stammeringly, but
she stopped him. Call Doctor Gordon,
she said shortly. ''She is dead"

CHAPTER XIII.

About two weeks after the death of Doc
tor Gordon's wife James went to the post
office before beginning his round of calls.
Lately nearly all the practice had devolved
upon him. Gordon seemed sunken in a
gloomy apathy, from which he could rouse
himself only for the most urgent necessi-
ties. Once aroused he was fully himself,
but for the most part he sat in his office
smoking or seemingly half asleep Once in
a while very sick patient acted upon him
as a momentary stimulus, but Alton was
unusually healthy just then. After an open

Ski Club to be Organized /.

Those who are interested in
skiing in this city are beginning
to speculate on the question
of organizing a ski club here.
At Ashland there is a heal,
ty club, and a great deal of en-
joy ment is derived by the mem.
sbers. Those from here who wit
messed the tournament last week
are now enthusiastic. A meet
ing is to be held at the Office of
Morgan & Axelberg next Sun
day afternoon when temporary
ski club will be formed and the
sport carried on during the re-
mainder of this winter. Next
summer the organization will be
made permanent, and a fine hill
will be prepared for the sport
for next winter. Ole Jannum of
Starbuck, MINI. who is one Of
the best ski riders in the United
States has promised to move
here and take up the work with
the local enthusiasts. Mr.. jan
mum is an authority on skiing,
having written several pamphlets
on the subject. Two years ago
he was awarded second prize at
the national tournament in Nor
way. He took first prize for the
longest jump at Ashland last
week.
Skiing is a popular and health,
full sport and it is expected that
large club can be organized.

Expect to Make it the Best Session
Ever Held.
EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS
Commercial Club Will Have Charge Of the
Meeting. Special Train From Su-
perior and Duluth. Everyone
Should Attend

On March 9Th will be held the
annual session of the North Wis
consin Farmers Association, in
this city. At a meeting of the
Commercial club held last Fri
day evening, plans were made
for the big meeting. It is hoped
that this will be one of the largest
ever held, and every effort will
be put forth to properly enter
tain the hundreds of visitors who
will be in the city on that day.
Plans have been made for q
special train to bring the visi-
tors from Superior and Duluth,
and q committee from the Com
mercial Club will visit those
cities and help drum up q crowd.
A large number OF people are
expected from Iron River, Bay
field, Port Wing, Ashland, and
from points.down the line. It is
safe to say that fully 400 people
from outside, who are members
of the organization, will be here.
Secretary Fairail says that
one of the best speakers in the
country will give the principal
address. Efforts are also being
made to get Dean Henry of the
Wisconsin Agricultural College
to deliver an address. It is ex-
pected also that A. D. "Apple-
tree" Barnes, of Waupaca, will
be here with large display of
fruits. It is especially desired
that all the farmers in the
vicinity should attend, and to
this end, special invitations will
be sent to them all. The people
of Washbrrn should help adver-
tise the meeting as much a
possible. If you have friends
or relatives living anywhere in
the northern part of the state
write them and ask them to come
they will receive great deal of
good from the meeting in more
ways than one.

An Enormous Business.

Some idea Of the growth of
the business of the Edward
Hines Lumber Company may be
gotten from the following figures:
Year 1898, -93, 2OO,O6 feet.
Year 1902, 346,6 48, 316 feet.
Year 1905, $50, 412.02O feet.
The above figures gives one
some idea of the growth of the
business of this great company.
Since the year 1898 to- January
1st, 1906, this company has
shipped from it's different mills
and yards 1892, 1875, OO2 feet or
more than any other concern in
the world. The figures however
are incomprehensible to the
average mind, but reduced to
the abstract it would give us an
idea. During the N onth of
October 1903 this company ship
