of France
Nigel waited with Pomrners under the shadow
~ of the nunnery wall, horse and man chafng with
impatence, whilst above them six round-eyed
innocent nun-faces looked down this strange
and disturbing vision from the outer world. At
last the long column wound itself out of sight round
a of the road and the white dot was gone
from the bare green flank of the hill. Nigel bowed
his steel head to the nuns, gave his bride shake
and bounded off upon his welcome mission. The
round-eyed sisters yellow horse and twinllling
man sweep round the skirt of the wood caught
last glimmer of him through the tree trunks, and
paced slowly back to their pruning and their planting
their minds filled with the beauty and the terror
of that outer world beyond the high gray hchen-
notified wall
Everything fell out even as Knolles had planned

of the great horses hoofs broke upon his ears
that he turned in his saddle, looked very
coolly and steadily at Nigel, then gave his
own bride shake and darted off, swift as
a hawk, toward the hills upon the left.
Pommers had met his match that day. The
white horse, two parts Arab, bore the lighter
weight, since Nigel was clad in full arnor.
For five miles over the open neither gained
hundred yards upon the other. They had
topped the hill and flew down the farther side,
the stranger continually turning in his saddle
to have a look at his pursuer. There was no
panic in his fight, but rather the amused
rivalry with which a good horseman who IS
proud of his mount contends with one who has
challenged him. Below the hill was a marshy
plain studded with great Druidic stones, some
PROSTATE, some erect, some bearing Others
across their tops like the huge doors of some
vanished building. A path ran through the
marsh, with green rushes as a danger-signal
on either side of it. Across this path many
of the huge stones were lying; but the white
horse cleared them in its stride and Pornners
followed close upon his heels. Then came
mile of soft ground where the lighter weight
again drew to the front; but it ended in dry
upland, and once again Nigel gained. sunken

then turned his attention to the injured man. The
white horse had reganed his feet and stood whinny

master A heavy blow, half broken by his sword,
had beaten him down and left him a great
bruise upon his forehead. But a stream gurgled
through the gorge, and a capful of water dashed

man. He was a mere STRIPPING, with the delicate

eleven O'Clock Tuesday night Death
came peacefully and without suffering,
following a protracted Illness Mrs.
Newton has been in ill health for a
number of months and few weeks
ago became so seriously i'll that hope
of her recovery was despaired of.
Death resulted from an intestinal de-
rangement, and in the weakness con-
sequent upon a long period of i'll
health she was unable to rally from
the advances of the disease.
Mrs Newton, with her husband and
family, came to Bismarck more than
twenty years ago. She has enjoyed a
wide circle of friends and acquaint-
ances and was woman respected and
beloved. She was born at Highgate,
Vermont, July 3, 1899, being sixty
seven years of age at the time of her
death. She was married to George W.
| Newton forty years ago. Her health
has been failing for several years, fol-
l.,
which occurred some years ago. She
has been remarkably patient in this
severe affection and the depth and
patience of her resignation can with
difficulty be appreciated. For a num-
Der of days she has realized the ex-
tremity Of her condition and met the
end with the same resignation and
fortitude that has chara cteriZed her
life. In the consciousness of ! worthy
life her friends and relatives are COM
forted, believing that the end of
mortality is but the beginning of a
happiness that shall be eternal
Beside her husband, Mrs. Newton
leaves three sons, J. H. Newton of
this city, George Newton of West SUI
perior, who arrived in the city several
days ago and was with his mother at
the time of her death and W. G. New
ton of Spokane, Washington, who
visited in the city several weeks ago.
She also leaves a brother in this CITY,
Mr. Myron P Skecls. Friends Of the
family will extend sincere sympathy
in this aff1iction
| Funeral services will be held at the
family residence at three O'Clock to-
morrow afternoon and will be con-

university community by the existence
Of the game in Its present form was,
II not actually detrimental, certainly
not beneficial. Moreover, in spite Of
the efforts that were being made to
eliminate its disagreeable features,
many regarded the present game, with
its attendant evils. as a necessary
and logical result of intercollegiate
football contests. The trustees had
recourse to this plan in the belief
that the most permanent benefit would
thus come to the students as individ-
uals and to the university as an in
stitution. While their action may be
regretted by some, It yet meets with
the approval Of very considerable
number of those most intimately asso-
ciated with the game itself at North
western and who have been able to
study its development In connection
with local conditions for the last sev-
eral years"
It is to be hoped that other univer-
stiles and colleges will come to the
same conclusion and that, II neces-
sary, the board Of trustees will take
action.
