Wheat Burned to Hoots.
st. Paul Mimi, August 11.-Follow-
ing a visit to North Dakota and after
conference with Governor Burke and
other officials Of the state, Labor
Commissioner Williams Of Minnesota
says that, owing to the condition o.
the wheat. instead of there boing en-
ployment in the harvest fields for 49,
600 or 10000 men, 1000 will be lucky
if they can find jobs.
1.-THE free employment bureaus I'M

any more men for harvest or farm
work until l know the jobs are there
for them said Mr.. Williams. This
thing of the railroads asking for 49,
900 and 10000 men for harvest work IN
North Dakota and Minnesota is a
snare and delusion. 1t is downright
criminal, for it is flooding the north
west with lot of hoboes that wilt

Wheat Burned to RIOTS.

Hugo replied. You will be sorry to

increased the intimate nature Of their
relations. Hugo had walked up to the
Rectory, as usual, for game of
Bridge. but he found the parson pot
terirg about his cabinets, engrossed
in some new arrangement of the
Cloudy Fellows. Hugo sat down to
talk with JOY, when suddenly, to their
horror, George Vennable fell forward
on to the carpet and lay there insen-
sible. Within a few minutes he was
making light of what had happened,
referring to it as an attack Of gid
d1ness: he had been too long upon
his feet, had unwisely neglected to
rest after eating his dinner, and so
forth. But Hugo OWNED from Joys
face that she was very seriously
alarmed. She insisted upon her
father going to bed at once, and Hugo
helped him upstairs and then babe
him goodnight. JOY, during min
ute when she was alone with Hugo,
whispered that she would send for
Tfsdale early next mornig.
Tisdale, it appeared afterwards,
frightened Joy badly. 1t is likely that
he also regarded her as the strong,
capable, self-possessed nurse, who had
never lost hope when terrible
disease was raging. At any rate, he
spoke plainly. He admitted that the
lesion was serious and organic. At
the end, he reminded her that threat
ened men live long: particularly those
whose heads are stronger than their
hearts.
Your father Is too sensible to run
risks he said, "but it would be IN
wise to tell him what | have told you.
You must watch him very carefully,
With that, being in hurry he went
his way. Joy was aware that for
some time, ever since the epidemic
came to an end, Frank Tisdale had
seemed to avoid her. Without a word
passing between them, each appre-
hended the feelings of the other. JOY
did not want a lover, but she resented
losing a friend. She had an enormous
respect admiration, and liking for
Frank Tisdale, which, humanity
speaking, would never develop into a
warmer and more tender sentiment
Because of this she listened with ap-
parent calmness to his diagnosis. But
when he had gone, she felt desperate,
and in such sore need of sympathy
that she dashed off note to Hugo
entreating him to come at once to the
Rectory.
The moment Hugo looked into her
troubled face, he guessed what had
happened. She received him in the
dining-room, standing close to the map
of the Forest, which recorded in red
so many joyous expeditions. The
table was laid for luncheon: the two
chairs side by side. To Joy, and to
Hugo, everything in the room indicat-
ed eloquently the love that had
bound father and daughter together,
the love that had turned dull little
village filled with stupid people into
a paradise.
Sc held out both her hands to
Hugo.
Thank you for coming" she said

$25, and bicycle worth in the neigh
borhood of $50, from the Jensen home
in Union township, last Sunday after
noon. The bicycle belonged to Bert
Jensen, and the watch to his sister,
Miss Christina. Both would have been
easy to trace, as the bicycle was made
in Los Angeles, Cal. and was a make
seldom seen in these parts, and the
watch had considerable engraving up
on it,

Following the goods did not prove
necessary, however, for when Sheriff
G. A. Lee was notified Monday, he got
trace of Smiths whereabouts thru q
forwarded letter, and had warrant
issued for his arrest Smith had gone
to Mason City, and from there to Kan
awha, in the southern part of Hancock
county. While in Mason City he sold
the bicycle to a second hand man
named Wolf. The sheriff went to Kan
aWha with his warrant Tuesday even
ing, and arrested Smith in the middle
OF the night. Smith had thought that
he was safe, and that he had success
fully eluded the officers. So great was
his surprise and agitation, that he
broke down and confessed, gave UP the
watch, and told the sheriff of the
whereabouts of the wheel. Yesterday,
on the way home, Sheriff Lee stopped
at Mason City, and went with Deputy
Sheriff Buchanan Of Cerro Gordo coun-

They recovered the wheel.
Yesterday afternoon Smith was
brought before Justice Frank Forbes

to await the action of the next grand

the case were the Jensens. Smith had
worked for them, and they little

that they would discover that their
guest had "prowled" the house. Smith
is about twenty-six years old, and had
