to the mission. I'm going to Father
Barnum's house,
mo, you're not, and I didn't misun-
derstand him. He wants to get you
outside, all right, but | reckon you'd
rather go as Mrs. Runnion than as the
sweetheart of Ben Stark"
Are you craZyg 7" the girl cried. mr..
Stark kindly offered to help me reach
the father at his mission. Pm nothing
to him, and I'm certainly not going to
be anything to you. If I'd known you
were going to row the boat | should
have stayed at home, because 1 detest
you"
He rested again on his oars and said,
with deliberations:
STARK kindly offered did he? Well,
whenever Ben Stark kindly offers
anything I'm in ON the play. He's
had his eye on you for the last three
months, and he wants you, but he
slipped a cog when he gave me the
oars. You needn't be afraid, though.
I'm going to do the square thing by
you. Well stop in at the mission and
be married, and then we'll see whether
we want to go to st. Michael's or not,
though personally Pm for going back
to Flambeau."
The girls beauty, her Indifference,
the mistaken attitude of Stark, urged
MIN, and, strongest of all, he was
drawn by his cupidity, for she would
be very rich, so the knowing ones said.
Doubtless that was why Stark wanted
her, and, being a man who acknowl-
edged no fidelity to his kind or his
Creator. Runnion determined to outwit
his principal, Doret, Burrell and all the
rest.
Necia saw what a frail and helpless
thing she was. Nothing about her was
great save her soul, and that was i'm
measurably vexed and worried. She
had just lived through a grief that had
made her generous, and now she gain
ed her first knowledge of the man
animals gross selishness.
"You are absolutely daft" she said.
'You can't force me to marry you"
~ amt going to force you. You'll do
1t willingly"
"Ill die first. I'll call the first man
we see. I'll tell Father Barnum, and
he'll have you run out Of the country.
1t would only take a word from me"
"If you haven't changed your mind
when we get to his place I'll u
through without stopping, but there
isn't another priest between there and
st. Mikes, and by the time we get to
the mouth of the river / guess you'll
say Yes to most anything. However,
I'd rather marry you at Holy Cross
If you'll consent, and I'm pretty sure
you will Mhen--ou think 1t over"

alone seemed TO retain sur11cIent con-
troll to doubt and to reason. He was
thinking hard, Strengthening out cer-
tain facts and trying to square this
horrible statement with things he had
seen and heard tonight. All of a sud
den he uttered a great cry and bolted
out into the darkness unheeded by
Gale and Burrell, who stood dazed and
distraught with a fear greater than
that which was growing in Stark at
sight Of his wounds.
The gambler looked down at his In
juries, opened and closed the fingers
Of his hand as If to see whether he
still maintained control of them, then
cried out at the two helpless men:
well are you going to let me bleed
to death?"
1t brought the soldier out of his
trance.
"Why-no, no! Well get a doctor"
But Gale touched him on the Shout
der and said:
Hes too weak to get out. Lock
him in and let him die in the dark"
Stark cursed affrightedly, for 1t is a
terrible thing to bleed to death in the
dark, and in spite of himself the lieu
tenant wavered.
II can't do that. / promised"
"He told that lie to my girl. He
gave her to that hound" said the
trader, but Burrell showed him through
the door.
mo; l can't do that!' And then to
the wounded nan he said, "I1l get a
doctor, but God have mercy on your
soulr' He could not trust himself to
talk further with this creature nor be
near him any longer, for, though he
had a slight knowledge of surgery, he
would sooner have touched a loath-
some serpent than the flesh of this
monstrOus man.
He pushed Gale ahead of him, and
the old man went like a driven beast,
for his violence had wasted itself, and
he was like a person under the spell
of a strong drug.

CHAPTER XVII.

- THE LOVE OF POLEON DUitEI.
"O the girl c~rouching in tho
stern of Runnion's boat II
seemed as If this day and
night would never end. IL
seemed as If the procession of natural
events must have ceased, that there
was no longer any time, for she had
been suffering steadily for hours and
hours without end and began to Won
der dreamily whether she had not
skipped a day in her reckoning be-
tween the time when she first heard
Of the strike on her claim and this
present moment. 1t occurred to her
that she was a rich girl now in her
own right, and she smiled her crooked
smile as she reflected that the thing
she had longed for without hope of
attainment had come with confusing
swiftness and had left her unhappier
than ever.
Restless and tired of her lonely vigil,
she gave a premonitory cough and
said to her companion:
"You must be tired rowing so stead
ily?"
"Oh. I don't mind itr' he replied.
At tie sound of his voice she sat
bolt upright. 1t couldn't be. If this
were Runnion he would have spoken
before. She ventured again TREMENDOUSLY:
"Have you any idea what time it ISL"
"About 3 o'clock, I fancy"
"Who are your" The question came
like a shot.
Don't you known"
"What are you doing here, Mr.. Run
nionY"
"I'm rowing" he answered care
lessly.
1--WE changed my mind, Mr.. Run
nion," she said. II don't want to go
down to the mission. I want you to
take me back"
Cant do it," he said. "The current
is too swift"
"Then set me ashore and I'll walk
back. 1t can't be far to town."
twenty-five miles. We've been out
about three hours"
"Please do as l ask you, Mr.. Run

sound aroused her. Put me ashore

rash resolve to wrench the oars out
Of his hands and made a quick motion
toward him, at which he shouted:
"Sit down! Do you want to upset
us?"
The unstable craft lurched and dip
ped dangerously, and, realizing the fu-
tility of her mad impulse, she sank
back on her knees.

make the amount at least $4,000
additional.
A few days ago, local parties
were fortunate enough to secure the
official actual tonnage of freight
received and forwarded at Bemidji
during the year ending March 81,
1909, and this showing is certainly
a fine one, being as given at the
beginning of this article.
The figures given above will be
greatly augmented during 19O9-191O,
as there are several new enterprises
that will add very materially to the
freight tonnage and freight and
passenger earnings of the railroads
centering here; and in addition to
the present railways that are doing
business in Bemidji, it is not within
the range of possibilities that the
500" will enter the local field.
The Northern Grocery company
(Bemidji's big wholesale grocery en-
terprise) had been operated but two
months when the figures given here
with were secured; had this company
been doing business the entire year
covered by the statistics there would
have been much more freight bust
ness, all around.
AS it is Bemidji has made record
of which any city of it's size $4,000
inhabltants) may we'll be proud; and
it is known that the statistics will
compare very favorably with any
city in northern Minnesota, outside
of Duluth, and not excepting
Crookston, which boasts of a popu-
lation of nearly 10000 people.

PARTY WAS
GIVEN SATURDAY NIGHT
Residence Of Judge Stanton Was Scene
Of Unique and Very Enjoyable
Function.

One of the most entertaining
parties given in recent years wa.
held Saturday evening at the HON,
of Judge c. w. Stanton of this city
when Miss Leah Berman and Mis-.
Leila Stanton entertained twenty
four guests in honor of Miss Der
mans cousin, Miss Edith Paradise
of Chicago, who is visiting in thi:
city.
The house WINS beautifully decor.
ated with flowers. Six tables had
been arranged and hearts was played
until 1880. Dancing was then en-.
joyed until midnight, the dancers
keeping step to the soft, beautiful
music of a new Victorala which was
recently installed at the Stanton
home. Easy chairs and hammocks
on the screened porch provided a
convenient retreat for those who
desired to sit out the dances.
The hostesses served an excellent
lunch, of which the final course
resembied plants in small flower pots
but upon investigation proved to be
ice-cream with grated chocolate, in
imitation of sand over it, and a
small bouquet of lilies of the valley
placed in the center. At each guests
plate was found small roll which
opened with a snap and contained
large, comic, tissue-paper cap for
the guest and a small slip of paper
On which was written his fortune.
The guests declared they had en-
joyed most delightful evening and
Misses Stanton and Berman were
the recipients of true praises for
their pleasant hospitality.
Those present, besides the host
esses, were: Judge and Mayne
Stanton, Mr.. and Mrs. H. K. Bliler;
Misses Paradise, Alta and Clara
Fisk, Maude and Nellie Bailey,
Parker, Neal, Stewart, Markham and
Cochrane; Messrs. Otis, Scharff,
Southworth, Camper, LaBaw, Shan
non, Markham and Cormanton.

Earl Tucker OF Blackjack Met Death
in a Terrible Manner Last
Saturday Forenoon.
WAS WORKING IN THE LEAK &
CONWAY SANMlLL AT THE TIME.
Was Caught in RapldIy-RevoIving Shaft
and His Life Was Gradually
Crushed Out.

Blackjack, June 7.-(Special to
Pioneer. = Saturday morning the
entire community was shocked by
the news that Earl Tucker had been
killed at the mill. He was oiler al
the Leak & Conway mill, and in
attending his duties, the sleeve Of
his coat was caught on set screw
on the shaft, which was revolving at
the rate of twenty times second.
The engineer shut off the engine,
thinking a belt must have slipped,
and hurried out to the mill to find
the man hanging, head down, his
clothing so torn and entangled he
had to be cut loose
DR.. Koch was called, but Mr..
Tucker died in few minutes, with.
out recovering consciousness.
Earl Tucker was a son-in-law OF
Mr.. Leak, having married his daugh.
ter, Lena, while living in Michigan,
three years ago. Because of his
poor health they came to Blackjack
last tall and had been making their
home with Mr.. Leak.
Some years ago Earl spent some
time here, when his father was a re.
sident of Blackjack, so was we'll
known to most of the older residents
before his last return here.
The victim of the accident was
we'll thought of by all, for he pos
sessed a sterling character and the
kindest of dispositions.
The funeral was held at the resi-
dence at o'clock Sunday afternoon
and large number of sympathizing
friends followed the casket to its
final resting place, in the new
cemetery on the lake road.
