fore l could speak, she resumed
slowly:
You saw Jack when he returned
Mr.. Ware. and you must know how
feel about 1t all, but since Annie has
told me that he went away only be-
cause, when she knew of the nature of
her disease and that her condition
was hopeless, she broke the en-
gagement between them and insis
upon his leaving her in the hope
that his love would finally die out,
| cannot but look upon the matter
in a different light. That is why
have tried to do everything in my
power for Annie, for, while at first
| merely valued her as friend, ]
now love her as a sister, but | have
never been able 20 bring myself
to a point where l could condone
Jacks behavior. He has my SIM
pathy. of course, but he has no
and few or no excuses can be made
for him."
Her feelings overcame her at last
and, wiping away her tears. she sank
into the chair that | had left and
continued, plaintively:
Annie speaks of him now almost
all the time, and the doctor asked me
about it, and when ] told him he said
that if Jack could come to her at
once it might do her world of good.
/ know IL is a dreadful risk to take
in many ways. for Annie did not
see him when he was here before
and has no idea of the depths to
which he has sunk, but perhaps he
would realize his position and do
better with her. What do you think
about it,"
Il hardly know what to say" ] re-
piled. Have you spoken to Miss
Weston about sending for him."
"oh, yes" she returned. and
don't know what to do at ALL When
ever I speak Of Jack II only throws
her into a hysterical state. and just
as soon as she thinks I am out Of
hearing she begins TO say those dread
Tul things I told you about l am
afraid Il is a matter We viii have
to decide for ourselves. Mr.. Ware"

els it a biblical play?o asked Mrs.

"Is it a biblical play?" asked Mrs.
Sedgewick with interest.
ooh, dear, no." replied Miss Car
ney. "Just the ordinary sort Of a
play, with man and a woman and
whole lot of pathos and comedy
sandwicbed in and spread around.
But It is very sweet and enjoyable.
Haven't you read the book?"
NO" returned Mrs. Sedgewick
seriously II am so absorbed in
E. P. Roe's works just now that
l haven't time for anything else.
Don't you think he is a wonderful
writer?"
I'm ashamed to confess that I've
never read him at ALL" said Miss
Carney sweetly, 'but hope to, some
day, however"
Mrs. Sedgwick thinks that l only
care for biblical plays" broke in the
rector, hurriedly, as if to forestall any
discussion of his wife's favorite au-
thor, "and do think that good pro-
auctions of that sort should be en-
couraged and supported. The stage
and the pulpit go hand in hand in
educating the masses, and plays that
direct the mind toward nobler things
are worthy of every commentator
and the approval Of all good citizens.
Many a man, who never gave
thought to the Bible, has been led to
a careful study of the Scriptures after
witnessing a stirring drama founded
on Scriptural history and presented
with proper regard to accuracy and
detail"
II am sure that is SOL" exclaimed
Miss Carney, as a mischievous light
came into her eyes. 81 remember once,
when we were coming away from a
most intensely interesting production
of 'Ben-Hur,' overhearing two people
engaged in a heated discussion as
to whether the Book of Hezekiah was
historical or prophetical. l don't
suppose the thought had ever en-
tered their heads before, and I

the railing in front of me and Miss
Carney stood by my side.

she said, nervously. Il wanted to see
you, for there is something l forgot
to say to you last night"
She had slipped a long coat Of
dainty brocaded stuff over her dinner
dress and, as she stood in the
light of the drawing-room window,
she made picture worthy the brush
of the greatest genius that ever
lived.
Il won't sit down, thank you,' she
continued, interlocking her fingers
and playing with her rings as if
greatly agitated. you know, Annie
is growing steadily worse, and the
doctor from the village says she
must have a nurse, so have tele-
graphed for two to come at once.
Oh! thought that dinner would never
end"
She seemed to feel the chilliness of
the night air, but, declining my offer
to get her an additional wrap, she
drew the fur trimmed collar of her
cloak more closely about her neck,
and went on hurriedly:
you remember l once told you
that Annie and Jack, my brother, had
some sort of disagreement just be-
fore he went away and that he left
this cosntry because of it. Well,
Annie told me some time ago that
| was entirely wrong in my under
standing of the matter, and l have
wanted to tell you all about it so
many times, only could never bring
myself to speak of it.

TIME TO ACT
Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages of
Kidney Illness. Profit by Mitch
ell Peoples Experiences.

Occasional attacks of backache, ir-
regular urination, headaches and dir
|zy spells are common early symptoms
of kidney disorders. It's an error
to neglect these ills. The attacks
may pass off for a time, but retuyn
with greater intensity. If there are
symptoms of dropsy-puffy swellings
below the eyes, bloating of limbs and
ankles, or any part of the body,
don't delay a minute. Begin taking
Doan's Kidney Pills, and keep up
the treatment until the kidneys are
we'll, when your old time health and
yigor will return. Cures in Mitchell
prove the effectiveness of this great
kidney remedy.

occupation requires a great real Of
heavy lifting and much STOPPING and

ney complaint which first began to

day | came home from work with a
terrible dull pain across the small

some days At night the pain was
so intense that l slept but little and
upon arising IN the morning l was
SO weak that l could hardly move
about. Having read so much about
Doan's Kidney Pills, l asked my wife
to procure a box for me at Diehl &

The howl was quite severe and they
charged Sioux City with all kinds OF
acts that tended to give the gaze to
the larger Sioux. Sioux Falls can
take the same advice..that she offered
Mitchell a year ago, when the local
team was at Sioux Falls, when
practically the same kind OF tactics
were INDUCED in that enabled Sioux
Falls to win from Mitchell. At that
time Sioux Falls suggested to Mitch
ell TO take their medicine and of
course disclaimed anything that was
wrong. That is what Mitchell ad.
vises sioux Falls to do just take
your medicine. the same kind that
has been administered TO other
teams which have played in the
queen city. 1t pays just as well to
be a good loser as an enthusiastic
winner.

Won Qua at Parker.

TIE high school football team came
home from Parker Saturday evening,
having been over there for a game in
the afternoon. The Mitchell lads
Won their game, of course, but by
a smaller score than on a previous
occasion in a game with Parker. The
first game resulted In a score Of "a
to 0 for Mitchell. The second game
of Saturday was won by Mitchell by
a score Of 10 to O. This score might
indicate that either Parker was GET
ting much stronger or that Mitchell
was getting weaker as the season
advanced. In the game played Sheeks
was kept out Of the game on account
of his condition, and while 1t is not
bad by any means, yet the boys did
not want to take any chances of his
getting injured so that he could not
play In the game with Sioux Falls.
As a result the team did not try to
run up q big score and they omitted
making many OF their strongest PLAYS
where cores would naturally result.
The big game Of the season will be
PLAYED In this city next Saturday
afternoon, when the Sioux Falls high
school team comrs i've That 1t
will be q battle royal there Is no
question. for both teams realize that
the winning Of this aame means
much toward landing tile champion
ship Of the state In high school
circles. The people of the city ought
to turn out In large numbers and
give the high school lads all the en-
couravement possible, for they have
been putting up q strong game this
season and they are worthy Of all the
support.

Wanted to Increase His Salary.

The postmaster at Rudolph, a small
town in Brown county, adopted
unusual means to get an increase in
his salsry, at which, however, he
was caught. He falsifed his reports
as to the number of cancellations he
had made on letters, periodicals, ETC.,
increasing the number beyond the
proportion Of what a town OF
that size would naturally have. He
was arrested and taken before the
federal court, where he pleaded guilty
and Judge Garland fined him S25,
and in addition he was removed from
the place as postmaster. So in his
ambition to raise his salary he will
have to be hunting anotber.salary

BIG MAN WITH GUN
Met His Match in a Bartender Who
Shot Him Full of Holes in an
Act of Self Defense.

aberdeen Special: A tragedy OF
the frontier in which one man was
killed, another wounded and another
badly scared was revealed today by
Charles r. Doland. a banker of
Verdon, a new town south OF this
city, who is here on a land deal.
Doland gives a graphic account of
the shooting He says AL Gilland,
a contractor on the Milwaukee ex.
tension, after finishing his section
came into Robert Kincaid's camp
on the Little Missouri and proceeded
to create excitement by getting
intoxicated and attempting to force
two men to ''swim the Diver"
Shy this Time" SAID Doland,
"Gillatoi had everyone about the
camp &c red. He then entered the
saloon md began shooting the
glasses off the back bar The Tar
tender told him to stop, but Gilland
informed him he had made two men
swim the ,iver'' and guessed he
would make him do the same. The
bartender told him to keep quiet,
w%ilereupoD Gllland fired a shot at
hlm, the bullet making a glancing
wound on the chest. The bartender
drew an automatic revolver and shot
Gilland five times in the mead, the
bullets making a little circle in the
middle of the forehead. There was
no inquest or arrest, for the haf-
tender had clearly shot in self
defence. The partners of GilIand
were notified and they moved Gill
lands outfit west. The affair was
over in about an hour but duSiug
that time the entire camp was ter
rorized. The bartender is not badly
wounded"

THE BANKERS PROTECTED
Sioux Falls and Yankton Bankers
Limit the Amount That Gould
10 paid or Check.

The bankers Of Sioux Falls and
Yanlklon Monday adopted a system
of protecting themselves from any
possible drawing out of money which
would have a tendency help out the
money market In the east. The ac-
ton was not taken from an illcon-
dition of the bank &, s
the eastern bankers we're not permit
ting the western banks to draw on
their account The western banks
followed tie same procedure. The
banks of those two cities limited
the amount to be drawn on a check
In t%wenuy-four hours TO 1926 in Sioux
Falls and $40 In Yankuon. 1t is
thought that the system will not
extend over a day or two.
Monday morning the Sioux Falls
Press issued an extra edition giving
the detail of the action of the Sioux
rails bankers. and the scare head
which was stretched across the front
page of the paper was enough to
friphten the ordinary deposition into
irving to make a run on the bank.
There was nothing doing In Mitch
ell all day. The four banks of the
city pursued the even tenor Of their
way without any thought of protect.
Ing themselves for the very good
reason that there was no occasion for
IL. There isn't a bank in the city
but what llolds.in ready cash at least
6O per cent Of their deposits and
under those circumstances they had
no occasion to place any limit on the
amount OF checks that should be
drawn against an Individual ac-
count They stood ready to pay the
amount OF any check that a deposition
wanted to draw.
Governor Crawford, in q. telenhona
message to one Of the bankers during
the day suggested that he declare a
legal holiday for several DAYS. which
Would prevent any checks Deing
Drawn On the banks of the state.
lhe governor was informed that so
FAR as Mitchell was concerned the
bankers did not need a legal holiday
~ order to render them any assis-
lance. It's speaking well for the
banking interests of the city that
they we're ready to meet any possible
emergency that might arise.

The number of additional sub- scribers which have been added to the Press list within the last two weeks has been very grati- flying to the management. But large number of renewals that have been received in the same length of time show more point edly the appreciation the people have for a real live newspaper, and especially one in which they can rely for news of the valley without any personal colOring. In compiling the news for the Press, personal prejudice or preference have no place. Facts are facts and are treated as such.
 The forming of a water com pany within a water company as has been done at BraWley is an excellent idea. This step on the part of the people of Brawley is quite likely to be the solution of the difficulty of furnishing water to the cantaloupe growers and others who wish to use only a small head of water, and that frequently. It would be a good move on the part of the growers in and around Fl Centro to con fer with the townsite company and see if some such an arrange ment could not be made here. A zanjero to look especially after the needs of the small user would be a great help, indeed. The matter should be looked into right away.
