CHAPTER XVIII.


At the spinning wheel just within
the door of the tavern sat Belle, the
octoroon, humming an old song as
her foot rose and fell in time to the
treadle
There was step upon the path, and
soft skirts brushed the shrubbery, but,
intent upon the flax which her deft
fingers guided from distaff to flyer, the
spinner heard nothing until a voice
at her side called: "Good afternoon,
Belle; it is pity to interrupt you. I
see you improve each shining hour"
The woman jumped with alacrity to
greet Lavender, and, bringing. a chair,
said: "I'm honored, sure enough, Miss
Creighton, and the wheel can watt
Gracefully dropping to the seat,
Lavender placed large basket on
the ground, and waved her big hat
across her face, rosy from brow to
chin with the midday heat
"It was very warm on the road, but
how cool and nice under this trellis.'
She picked a blossom Of the cucum-
ber vine that grew above, and the
stir of leaves brought feathery
shower about her, all fragrant green
and white.
"Yes'm, it's real nice. Mr.. Winslow
fixed the vines SOS it would be
shady"
"It was good Of him to take the
trouble Then, looking directly into
the octoroon's eyes, Lavender went on:
"It was about Mr.. Winslow that
wanted to speak to you to-day"
The quick smile. the evident pleas
ure in her listeners every FEATURE was
reward enough for the condescension.
"About him? About Mr.. Winslow?"
Eyes, l had to come to town to-day
to do some trading, and I wanted to
see you, too. I am anxious to know if
Mr.. Winslow and Senor Gonzaga went
on the relief expedition in aid of Col.
Boomer"
The octoroon said yes, and remained
silent
Nothing more was said for mo-
ment. Lavender was having fierce
battle with her pride.

all, it was little to ask; If possible she
would be spared further torture of
suspense.
So she said. abruptly: ut has al
ways seemed strange to me that Mr..
Winslow came here SO suddenly-in so
mysterious a way"
Then, as the woman opened her
mouth to speak, "I know, of course,
that he came in response to this note.
But you did not write it: I wonder
who did?'
She placed in the woman's hand the
yellow envelope.
The octoroon shook her head.
'No'm; but it was somebody who knew
he'd get into trouble if he went to that
pollard willow where Sue Miller was
to meet her-her beau" The name
which trembled on her lips was not
uttered, as quick came the recollection
that she must be silent. )

qulre of Andrew Stewart
The c. & N. w. railroad company
has abandoned the numerical desig-
nation of its vice-presidents. Here
after the titles of such officials will
be according to the departments
they represent. The following as
signments have been made: Hiram
R. Mccullough, in charge of freight
and passenger traffic; William A.
Gardner, operation and maintenance
on all lines; Marshall M. Kirkman,
receipts and disbursements, and ac-
counts relating thereto, in connec-
ton with the operation of the rail
way and its proprietary interests;
John M. Whitman, location and con-
struction of new lines, operation of
coal companies and maintenance of
bridge companies. If the rule is
followed clear down the line, some
of the "boys" will have titles that
for length at least will rival that
of an Italian count.
Hector Mirror: Geo. Phillips re-
turned this morning from Monte
video with his chickens and brought
with him also the right to keep the
silver cup for having the most high
scoring birds at the poultry show.
He won 1st, Sd and 9Th pullet, I'd
hen, 4th cockerel and the pen prize
in the barred Rock class. The Sd
and 4th pullet were tied with one
which won I'd. This puts George in
the lead of Barred Rock breeders
in central and western Minnesota,
and those who know of the work
and care he has taken in breeding
and raising his birds are glad that
he is being rewarded for his pains.
The poultry show was not success
financially and it is likely that it
will be held in Renville next year
and perhaps in Hector the year
after. A change of towns will likely
help out the attendance.
Judge Weber, last Monday, rend-
cred a decision in the four cases
brought by E. B. Korns and E. B.
johnson, Mary ]. Korns and James
Behan, against the Tracy Building
& Loan association. The decision is
a sweeping victory for the associa-
ton. The court held the plaintiffs
were not entitled to preference over
other stockholders, but must stand
their share of the losses of the asso-
citation the same as other share
holders. These cases were tried be-
fore the court at New Ulm a week
ago, and attorney N. J. Robinson
represented the association. A part
of the opinion of the court is as
follows: When a Building & Loan
association has become insolvent in
the sense that it cannot pay back
to the stockholders the amount of
their contributions, dollar for dollar,
a stakeholder giving notice of with
drawal does not obtain any advan-
tage over other stockholders but
must contribute their share of the
losses. This opinion is so replete
with the general principles of equity
and robust common sense that | am
thoroughly convinced that it states
the true rule. -

Fairfax recently dedicated a new
$50, 900 school building. The Stand
ard of last week contained cuts of
the new building and also of the one
replaced by it, built in 1891 at a
cost of $1,000, which at that time
was considered by many of the tax
payers to be larger than would ever
be needed by the town.
w. D. Griffith of Hector has just
finished mounting a bunch of seven
teen deer heads, and the Mirror
boasts that there is probably not
another town in the southern part
of the state with so many deer
heads. Well we can't say as to that,
but if he isn't too particular how

this story going the rounds: A
game warden, who thought he had
game violator in the meshes of
the law, was nicely come up with
a short time ago. The person suspi-
cioned was business man of Rock
Creek. The warden dropped into
the town between trains and very
smoothly asked the business man if
he could not get some birds to take
with him, and received an affirm
alive answer. The victim quietly
sent out for some crows, and had
them done up in neat package for
the warden, who paid 81 for the
supposed chickens and went off with
his package in high glee. The bust

ORIGIN OF THOROUGHBRED.
Can Be Traced Back to Arabian, Turk
or Barb Stock.

The American thoroughbred is de-
scended from the English thorough
bred, and the latter is made up by
blood almost wholly from Arabian,
Turk or Barb stock. The English
stud book for thoroughbreds is not
open to any horse that has had an out
cross of common blood during the
past hundred years or more, and II
is doubtful if one having an out-cross
$50 years back would be recorded. "A
reference to the lists of horses in Eng
lish racing stables at the time the
thoroughbred was brought to the front
will show that the originators de-
pended almost entirely on the horses
brought from the orient, and of the
three general classes mentioned
The Americans have greatly i'm
proved on the original thoroughbreds
by selecting and to some extent by
crossing with Arabian horses Of fine
type This practice has not been
common of late years, for our breed
ers have formed the opinion that they
can do little more for the breed by
importing Arabian horses. BY selec
ton, the quality of the thoroughbred
is now so high that it is believed that
in bringing in more foreign blood
even of the Arabian breeds, there is
danger of deteriorating it.
The American trotting horse was
developed from the thoroughbred, or
rather as a strain of the thoroughbred.
Constant selection has made this
horse the most important of the thor
oughbreds, not only for races, but also
for the saddle and carriage.

come back in moderate time after each
attack, but the period of weakness kept
lengthening until at last | would lie
helpless as many as three hours at a
stretch. | had dizzy feelings, palpita-
ton of the heart, misery after eating,
hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheu-
matte pains in the back and hips. The
doctor did me so little good that / gave
up his treatment, and really feared that
my case was incurable
When | began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills my appetite grew Keen,
nv food no longer distressed me, my
nerves were Quoted to degree that L
had not experienced for years and my
strength returned. The fainting spells
left me entirely after | had used. the

say that l am looking better than have
done for the past fifteen years.
