CHAPTER xxVI.
he Entrance of Chico


 lashed the panting beast until great welts stood out on her sides and her hide was lathered with foam, while we dashed along in the blinding storm and finally galloped through the gate way and up the winding road toMaEd the house The snow was drifting heavily and MacArdel leaned over the side of the sleigh and held the lantern close to the ground so that could see such little traces of the road as re- mained or we would have been ditched a dozen times in our mad race to the dying girl.
 Suddenly, as we neared the house, and at a place where the drifts were deeper and the exhausted horse strug- gled heavily in her effort to make her way on, man sprang out of the sleet and, grasping the animal by the head, threw her backward with almost su perhuman strength and brought us to a standstill.
 What do you mean!" I shouted, raising the whip high over my head. Let us go on or I'll brain you!"
 Don't strike, Mir Ware!" he gasped, 'it's Bobbs, sir! You remember Bobbsi"
 Let us pass, Bobbs!" I exclaimed, angrily, losing my astonishment in my anxiety to reach the house. "I'll see you again, Bobbs, It's the doctor, here, for Miss Weston!"
 l. the doctor I want! She's gone. sir, and I'm afraid he's going, too. Come with me, for Gods sake!"
 ''Do you mean she's dead, Bobbs ?" I cried, as a great lump rose in my throat
 '.Yes, oh, yes!'' he almost screamed. ''The doctor can't do her no good! She died some half hour ago, and he's dying too, 1 tell you! Have you no heart, sir? Oh, bring the doctor to him, in Gods name!"
 Can we drive?'' I asked, suddenly, realizing the fellows meaning and ap- preciating the uselessness of our go- ing on to the house.
 No" he replied, t'but it's only a step, sir. I'll show you the way. Oh. I thought you would never come, sir! !''
 We sprang out and, giving Bobbs the lantern, followed him through the snow to the side of the house on which Miss Weston's windows opened
 He doesn't know she's gone yet, said Bobbs, as he trudged along, light ing our way as best he could. But he knows 1t must be soon, and he's been waiting out here in the storm for over six hours"
 We came to tree, partly sheltered by some shrubbery around it, and there, leaning against it's trunk was poor John Carney, tottering feebly fo, support and gazing fxedly at the win dow behind which lay the body of his loved one.
 Its MT. Carney. sir," explained Bobbs, choking down sob. "Yol might not know him, sir, he's changed so in the year and it's long bit since you saw him last
 MacArdel made no move to go neal him and we stood there, in expecta tion and MacArdel with an air of pro fessional scrutiny. Carney spoke, bu' without turning his head"

A man who has been a, farmer for over sixty years, and who is 9 decided success at the business, sums up his experience in these words: Farm product have Q selling value at the place of their making "a value just as they come from the soil. They have also an additional value to the farmer who converts them into a more con- densed form, by feeding them to livestock. That is their feeding value. We thus get to the manure value, and it surely is a most i'm portant one. To increase the fer tility of the soil, is like loaning money at compound interest-it doubles the value every eight or ten years. The farmer who sells loses the feeding and manurial values. If he parts with ton of hay for $o, say, and could make it pay him $12 by feeding it to cattle and sheep, he has lost $3 of the feeding value and $5 worth of ma nure. In other words, he has sold his hay for $s per ton less than il was worth if used by him. The nee1 of pasture, hay and livestock in good farming are thus seen.

FUNERAL OF MRS. WINTER
HELD THIS FORENOON
Many Friends Of Deceased Present to
Attest Sympathy for Bereaved
Relatives.

The funeral over the remains
of Mrs. II. R. Winter was held
this forenoon at 10 o'clock, at the
Methodist church, Rev. Isaac
Peart officiating.
The church was filed with
relatives and friends of the late
Mrs. Winter, who had come to
pay their respects to the dead
and to attest their sympathy to
the relatives.
The music furnished by the
choir was appropriate to the oc.
casion, and was very well rem
dered. Rev. Peart spoke briefly
of the past life of Mrs. Winter,
alluding feelingly to her associ-
alton with the local Methodist
church and the many very ad-
mlrable traits OF the one who had
passed to the unknown beyond.
The remarks brought tears to
all in the church, as the kindness
of Mrs. Winter and her ex-
emplary life were well known.
At the conclusion of the ser.
vices, the cover was removed
from the casket and the audience
was given an opportunity to look
at the features of the dead, which
were calm and composed, like
unto peaceful sleep. The body
was taken to the G. N. depot, for
shipment to Courtland, N. Y,
where interment will be had.
The following were the pail
bearers: G. E. Albrant, Bert

N. J. Manchester, of Jackson, Minn.,
Submits Proposition to Bemidji
Business Men
WOULD MOVE THE FACTORY NOW
LOCATED AT SIOUX FALLS, S. 0.
Plant Said to Be Valued at 500, 600
The Proposition May Be
Accepted.

A cracker factory is among
the possibilities in the manufac-
turing line for Bemidji, If the
proposition which has been
made to number of the busi-
ness men of this city, on behalf
of a concern that already has a
large and valuable plant in South
Dakota, is accepted.
W. J. Manchester, of Jackson,
Mimi, who with his brother
owns cracker factory at Sioux
Falls, S. D., was in Bemidji for
several days the latter part of
last week, looking over the city
with view to locating here per-
manently. It is the intention of
the Manchester's to move their
plant from Sioux Falls to some
other more advantageous loca-
tion. Mr.. Manchester had been
to Fargo, and decided to look
over the situation here and dis
cuss the matter with local busi-
ness men. The plant is said to
be worth 100000. and would
undoubtedly be a great addition
to the business interests of Be.
midi, but it is a question as to
whether local capitalists will be
induced to invest in the propro-
sition as set forth by the repre-
sentative of the Sioux Falls con.
cern.
The commercial club will prob
ably take action in the matter,
this evening.

CRO0KSTON WILL PLAY
TWO BASKETBALL GAMES
"Queen City, Team Will Contest Here
Against Bemidji, March 9th
and 9th.

The Bemidji basketball team
has arranged for two games to
be played here on Friday and
Saturday evenings, March 9th
and 9th, between the local five
and the team from the Queen
City Business College at Crooks
ton.
The Bemidji team has been i'm
proving steadily ever since the
game was first introduced here
last fall, and the local players are
considered, by those who have
seen other teams in the north
half of the state play, to be the
equal of any other basketball
organization in this territory.
The Queen City team has been
playing all winter, and has some
decisive victories to it's credit, SC
that two hotly contested games
may be expected when the Be,
midji's and Queen City's meet.
It is the intention of the man.
agement Of the local team to
give a dance on the night of
the first game, Friday, and
everything will be done to make
the stay of the visiting players
an enjoyable one.

Will Challenge Warren.

AS a result of the claim that is
being set up that the Warren
basketball team is the champion
five of northern Minnesota, the
Bemidji basketball players have
decided to challenge the Warren
aggregation for series of games
in defense of their easily-ac-
quired title. While the local
team has played but one game
with an outside team (that
against Park Rapids, the feeling
prevails here that we have one
of the fastest punches in the
state, and the claim of Warren is
thought to be somewhat pre-
mature, as the Polk county play
ers have never contested with
Bemidii.
The letter suggesting the
games requests that two games
be played in Remidji Friday and
Saturday evenings, March 10th
and 17th, deciding games, if
necessary, to be played else
where.
