hastily.
Jane-Annie took the pink ribbon and drew it
through her fingers. The light sent it into soft
salmon tnts. She had it against her neck.
"It be too gay?" she questioned falteringly.
The boy looked at the ribbon against the long
youthful neck. Jane Annie's soft skin seemed to
glow, and her pale, colorless hair to send out a
fragile radiance. She leant back the better to
show the pink ribbon, and her eyes looked at the
lad, then away. She trembling.
"'Tis the first time said Sammy, drawing a
long breath, "as l seed aught in pink ribbon"
"It be delcut shade" said Jane-Anne
She drew the ribbon slowly from her neck, and
laid It along the counter. She stood looking at it,
her eyes dropped, and there was pretty anxiety
upon her face.
"Tuppence yard" said Sammy coaxingy. His
gaze, too upon the pink ribbon it held an
added admiration and respect
Jane-Annie sighed. From the pink ribbon her

moment in disappointment. Then she turned
the handle, and pushed the door gently. 1t gave

1t was deserted but for red-haired youth, who,
standing upon the counter devoted to drapery
requirements, was lifting large green box to its

He turned slowly as the girl entered.

As he spoke, the door opened softly, and in

identical soft bronze hair which had haunted
my dreams for weeks. Fate had indeed been

All idea of escaping lunch and disappearing
left me. The house that held Lota the house
for me. Her face looked very pale, and under
her eyes there were dark rings; but she recognized
me, as the tender pressure of her hand showed,
though the look that accompanied it warned me
not to mention our acquaintance. was in
heaven! Inc sombre man servant returned, and
we sat down to our meal.
Everything was excellent of its kind, and my
host hospitality itself; but the food might have
been Dead Sea fruit for all L tasted of it. That
intangible something pervaded even the repast;
there a haunting menace beneath the smooth
speeches and polite attention of the tall, thin
man who was Lotas uncle.

withdrew, and his absence seemed to lift weight
from me, though for the first time it struck me
that the room was remarkably swarm.

lifted the blue ribbon, and drew it over the back

"Round-that way" said Sammy.
He took the blue ribbon from her hand, and
leaning across the counter, set it against her
throat. The pale blue of her eyes rose to greet
it, and her hair shone with delicate spiendor.

her boyishly.
'Why, Jane-Anne, you weren't rightly sure

ribbon with shining eyes. "I pays for this ere"

Sammy put out the lights in the shop, and to-
gether they left it. They went back to the yard
through the summer eve, pregnant with sweet
scents and subtle sounds. Sammy's red head was
full of glad hopes, something stirred sweetly in
Jane-Anne's breast

triumph in her eyes, of which she was unaware,

Webster Reporter and Farmer: The
republicans of Day county are soon
to be called upon to select delegates
to the republican state convention
which meets in Sioux Falls to nom
mate candidates for congress and the
state offices. We have no candidates
for nomination for office from this
county. In Brown and Grant coun-
ties there are candidates. In Grant
county we have l.. H. Bentley The
voters of this county know him. He
has been candidate for Office at every
election since he gained his majority
His. record is an open book and it reads
something like ward healer, bulldozer
and political juggler. Last conven-
tion time he opposed Crawford in
Minneapolis and supported him in
Grant county. Last election he was
elected states attorney of Grant
county and this year he is condemned
by all his former associates. A few
years ago he got his agent to do a
piece of work in Day county that sa-
vored greatly of taking candy away
from children-only the candy in that
case was quarter section of land
and now he condemns his agents for
doing what the courts of this county
made right. Two years ago he claim
ed to be with the organization, and
because that body can see no good in
him this year he trains with the re-
formers. He is anything for office
that is if there is anything in the
Office for Bentley. He would like to
be Congressman from South Dakota.
Opposed to him is Hon. A. w. Camp
bell, of Brown county. The voters
of Day county know Judge Campbell
also. He was member of the state
legislature from Brown county and
his record was an enyiable one. He
was judge of this circuit for many
years. Did any one ever hear of
Judge Campbell doing a questionable
act Did any one ever hear of either
he or his agents doing wrong to a
child or minor that had to be right
ed in court Did any one ever hear
of Judge Campbell taking advantage
of the credulity or ignorance of any
person no matter what their age.
What has been his record! Fair, i'm.
partial and just no person ever
thought to impugn his acts.
The organization republicans ask
you to name delegates favorable to
Judge Campbell. the Crawford re-
publicans ask you to name delegates
favorable to Bentley. 1t is up to you.
