"The Missouri Grip

One OF the most mirth-provoking
plays which has been presented here
this season was seen at the Beck last
evening. "The Missouri Grip is a
story OF rural life which deals with
the joys, trials and simplicity OF life
on farm. The principal characters
are indeed simple as to their manner
OF life and views of the world, never
theless there is genuine wholesome
ness which lends a charm to the parts.

Fred Raymond's famous comedy
"The Missouri Girl" will be the
attraction at Grand, Sept. q. The
fact that this is the twelfth season for
tnls play is a most conclusive proof
that good, clean, wholesome theatrical
productions are always welcomed and
generously patronized by the theater-
going public. The comedy is so
closely interviewer with bits of pathos
and such sensational incidents as
would actually occur in the lives OF
such people as exist in 1.-THE Mis-
souri, Girl" that the entirety is a reve-
lation in simplicity and interest in
play building. Mr.. Raymond has
equipped the play with the best Of
accessories, and has spared no expense
in making its production one
thoroughly worthy the patronage
accorded it.

mo, Robert, that will never do he
said. "To divide our forces would be
the worst generalship. Our duty is plain.
We must be prepared to strike at the en-
envy wherever he may be found. Other
wise, there will be weeks of anxiety for
us ALL and heaven knows what devilish
work going forward Whom can we
send? That we must first decide"
"There is Mossel l suggested, recall
ing the aid that stubborn German police
man had already rendered us.
HE would come gladly enough. But
| do not think the Heidelberg authorities
would sanction his departure on so vague
a journey. No! / am afraid Mossel

"What of Reski? l saw him find the
body of his son; he would travel to the

Robert"
And so it was settled. We were to
send a telegram to the Polish inn-keeper
next morning. If he agreed to our re-
quest, money could be forwarded In time
for him to meet US in London, where he
would take up his duty as escort to DR..
Weston and his daughter.

she said, looking him gravely in the eyes.
And so we passed out into the starlight.
They were pleasant days that followed
days that seemed to me the happiest
In my life. Was it the contrast with
the events of that terrible pursuit which
gave them their perfection? So / argued
at the time Yet each hour l knew more
clearly that 1t was Mary's bright eyes
that warmed the winter sunshine and
Mary's presence that gave the beauty to
that wild, inhospitable coast. OF morn
ings we walked together on the cliffs:
and as night drew in. blotting out the
grey wastes Of the Channel seas, we
joined Graden and her father in the lit
tie parior, listening to the talk Of those
two great-hearted, simple men. On the
second day Reski's answer came, accept
ing the trust we offered. Then for q
week there was no news from the out
side world to trouble us, and no Incl
dent at Polleven to remind us of our dan

it seemed, do right to set it before you.
As have mentioned, narrow dell or

have it, ran between the cottage and the

bent under years of conflict with the
winds, and hoored with dead bracken
and patches of gorse. In the summer it
was, doubtless, pleasing enough; but in
that December weather it seemed shriv-
eled and forlorn. Indeed, it was not
spot We greatly favored.

CHAPTER XIII.

1t was about four o'clock on q Satur-
day afternoon, the fifth day of our visit,
that Miss Weston and l entered it from
the seward side. We had taken a sharp
walk to the Bredairs Strand, where the
famous caves are situated, and were re-
turning to tea. We came upon them at
an angle of the thicket-a man and a
woman seated on a fallen log in eager
conversation. Miss Weston held up a
warning hand to me, with amusement
twinklng in her eyes.
"Oh, Mr.. Harlandw she whispered,
land at her age, tool
why, who was IT'D" l asked, for their
backs were turned towards us.
Don't you see? 1t is Martha, our
housekeeper. She is FIVE and forty if
she is a day. Fancy Martha with a young
man of her ownl l wonder who it can

Whereupon she fairly gave way to her
merriment in a low ripple Of laughter.
1t was loud enough to reach the ears of
the pair before us, for they started to
their feet, the woman facing round bold
ly with flaming cheeks, while the man.
after one swift glance, dropped back a
step and stood shamefacedly, with down
cast eyes. Miss Weston nodded to
Martha and we passed on up the track

We all Travelled to London together,
taking rooms for the right at the Char
ing Cross Hotel; for though Graden had
chambers in the Albany, he preferred
that we should not be separated 1t was
here that Reski joined us. Sorrow had
burnt it's mark upon the Polish inn
keeper. His thin, handsome features
were yet more drawn; and though his
eourtly manner was unchanged, an alien
ferocity lurked in his dark, reflective
eyes 1t would not go well with the
murderer Of his only son If he should
meet him face to face. SO l thought as
he stood before us, his hat raised, bowling
us a welcome.
At nine-forty on the following morn
ing, we were gathered in a little group
on the departure platform. Graden, who
had talked with Reski far into the night,
repeated his orders. To preserve the
secret of DR.. Weston's residence was of
first Importance. He would register him

Jackson. All letters, whether from or
to the travellers, were to be forwarded
under cover to Graden's chambers, where
a servant in whom ne had absolute trust
would despatch them to their respective
addresses. On the slightest suspicion Of
danger, a telegram would bring our as
sistance from whatever spot our quest
had drawn us. Neither DR.. Weston nor
his daughter were to leave their hotel

LlNCOLN's FAIRNESS.
1t Was One of His Strongest Traits,
Governing Every Action OF Life.

1t Was One of His Strongest Traits,
Governing Every Action of Life.
General Taylor was triumphantly
elected, and it then became Lincolns
duty, as Wing member of Congress from
Illinois, to recommend certain persons
to fill government offices In that State.
He did this after he returned to Spring
field, for his term In Congress ended Oh
March 4, 1S49, the day that General
Taylor became President. The letters
that he sent to Washington when for
warding the papers and applications of
people who wished appointment were
both characteristic and amusing; for
in his desire not to mislead or to do
Injustice to any man, they were very
apt to say more In favor of the men
he did not wish to see appointed than
In recommendation of his own partlc-
ular candidates.
This absolute and impartial fairness
to friend and foe alike was one of his
strongest traits, governing every action
of his life. II 1t had not been for this,
he might possibly have enjoyed another
term in Congress, for there had been
talk OF re-electing him. In spite OF his
confession to Speed that "being elected
to Congress, though 1 am very grateful
to our friends for having done 1t. has
not pleased me as much as I expected"
this must have been fiattering. But
there were many able young men In
Springfield who coveted the honor, and
they had entered into an agreement
among themselves that each would be
content with single term. Lincoln OF
course remained faithful to his prom
Use. His strict keeping Of promises
caused him also to lose an appointment
from President Taylor az Commissioner
of the General Land Office. which might
easily have been his. but for which he
had agreed to recommend some other
Illinois man. A few weeks later the
President offered to make him Governor
Of the new Territory Of Oregon. This
attracted him much more than the 9th
er office, but he declined because his
wife was unwilling to live in a place 30
far away.
His career in Congress proved Of
great advantage to him In after life,
having given him close knowledge Of
the workings Of the Federal Govern
ment, and brought him into contact
with political leaders from all parts Of
the Union.-St. Nicholas.
