(Continued)


There was evidently a sudden
change in the situation. Lawford
had come, no doubt, to temporize
AMI treat, and | snatched at the op-
portunity. forestalling him in what
he intended to say.
Listen. LawfOrd! You've be-
haved scurvily enough to me; but
I'll forgive you, and pay you a
thousand pounds to come over to
my side
"H-sh, man! Do be careful. It's
as much as your life is worth, or
mine. If M'Quahe should hear you.
You must not be in a hurry. There
may be some mistake. She may not
be really after u.s.
She? What is it you mean? Go
on. in the name of Goodness"
"A steam tug is in chase. We
sighted her at daylight steering our
course, and we cannot shake her
off. We have shifted our helm
twice; SO has she. Now M'Quahe
is bearing down on the French
coast. where, of course, nothing
English can touch u.s.
But shall appeal to the French
authorities"
Not if they keep you locked up
down here. That's what M'Quahe
will do. It's all he wants to do;
keep you out of the way while the
rest of us fill our pockets with your
dollars on the other side. It's all
arranged AMI squared. They leave
Southampton in the Chattahoochee
on Sunday with your double, anOth.

ceput that, to my extreme surprise.

tumbled on friends. the dearest,
most faithful friends, and the un-
failing instinct of one of them was
not to be denied. | met both my
love and my dog.
The first, felt certain, was max
ing this voyage on my behalf, and
l hungered to spea kto her. yet
dared not make myself known too
soon. l was nearly betrayed, how
ever. for Roy, clever brute, soon
penetrated my disguise and was
not to be shaken off. Only when
had seen him comfortably slowed
away in the forepart of the ship
near where my own quarters were
would he settle down.
I had no opportunity of meeting
Frida, nor was | able to advance
my other business until the voyage
was half over. There is wide gulf
set between first and second cabin
passengers. My range was strictly
limited. l could not go near the
hurricane deck, nor enter the
principal smoking room, the music
room, or saloon. although | hung
about constantly, and became at
last an object of suspicion to the
officers, stewards ami quartermas-
tiers, and met sometimes with
rough rebuffs.

what his peoples 'rights' are.
The question of the admxture of races coming up

No. Most of them come by of greed and greed

Good Bye Judge Winchester.

Mandan Pioneer: With this issue
of The Pioneer we possibly record the
story of the last term of court in
Morton county that will be presided
over by Hon. w. H. Winchester, judge
of the Sixth judicial district.
On Jan. /, Hon. w. G. Crawford,
the newly elected judge Of the Tenth
judicial district, will qualify for Of
fee, and hereafter we will have q
new face occupying the bench In the
Morton county courthouse.
The career OF Judge winchester in
this section Of North Dakota has run
parallel with the growth of The 'lo-
neer. He has been friend to the citi-
zens OF the west Missouri slope and
they are sorry to see him take his
hand from the judicial helm. He is
progressive and has aided in every
good enterprise that has been sug-
gested for this section Of the state.
Still we feel sure that he will con-
tinue In the future to regard the west
slope country with the same degree of
friendliness he has In the past. One
of the greatest things the judge pos
sesses is the faculty Of holding the
friendship of the bar at large, and
this one trait Judge Winchester has in
a superlative measure. The Pioneer
Joins with the bar Of Morton county

MAKING BY MEMBERS or TEAM
AND FAcuLTY-aREAT PARADE
THROUGH STREETS, ENDING
AT THE GRAND THEATRE.

Never in the history Of the Fargo
| high school has the student body had
the opportunity Of celebrating such q
long and decisive string OF victories
for their football team as they did

Minot team, and they took every ad.
vantage OF the opportunity and en-
joyed one OF the biggest student cele-
braticns that has ever been pulled of
In Fargo. saz.
The celebration started with great
mass meeting and bon fire on the high
school campus. Hundreds OF students
gathered around the blazing pile and
when the fire was at the height Of It's
glory they improvised stage with a
large dry-goods box and demanded
speeches from members of the team
and faculty. s.a
Superintendent Hoover, Henry
Rusch, Coach Kalmbach and Captain
Kimball each gave short addresses In
which they congratulated the team for
it's splendid playing and the school for
their loyal support.
At the suggestion Of Superintendent
Hoover, the football which the team has
used throughout the fall was presented
to Ccach Kalmbach by q unanimous
vote of the school.
Following the speeches the entire
student body formed into procession
headed by Captain Kimball with q
Snare drum, and they marched through
the streets, giving their yells and
cheering the members OF the team
This parade ended It the Grand thea =
tire. where the students filed in en-
masse and occupied the entire front
section Of the house, the football tenin
occupying the boxes.
The game was one Of the cleanest
football contests that has ever been
pulled off in the state and ended with
only the best feeling on the part of
the players Of both, as the following
statements will prove:
Martin Jacobson, Of Minot: It was
tho best game that / ever witnessed
The Fargo rooters are the most polite
rnoters I have encountered, and think
thar both cities have a good right To
be proud Of their teams. Every per-
son that came from Mlnot feels per-
fectly satisfied.
Captain Kimball. Fargo: The Minot
team is the hardest we have played
against this season, and they are as
clean bunch of players as ever ex-
pect to play against.
