ties How was he to account for the
fact that he had failed to commune

treasure had been rayished?
1t was all very involved. Mr.. Matt
land returned the glass to O'Hagan
and, grading his head in his hands,
racked his brains IL vain for d salts
factory tale to tell. There were SO
many things to be taken into eonsid-
GRAFTON. There was the girl in gray.
Not that he had forgotten her for an
instant; his fury ragged but the higher

whom she had placed faith had proved
himself unworthy
But that telephone call?
"O'Hagan,' demanded the haggard
and distraught young man, who was
that on the wire just now"
l'SiA6 q lOuSily II Sol fdHlt
O'Hagan had waited that question in
silence, a-quiver with impatience
though he was. Now, his tongue I'M
leashed his words fairly stumbled on
one another's heels in his anxiety to
get them out in the least possible time.

'She did not, sor though mesilf-"

wouldn't be like her. What was he
thinking of, anyway? 1t could not
have been the gray girl; for she knew
him only as Anisty; she could never
have thought him himself, Maitland.
But what other woman of his acquain-
lance did not believe him to be out of
town?
With hopeless gesture, Maitland
gave it up, conceding the mystery too
deep for him, his intellect too feeble
to grapple with all its infinite ramifica-
tons. The counsel he had given
O'Hagan seemed most appropriate to
his present needs: One thing at
time And obviously the first thing
that lay to his hand was the silencing
of O'Hagan.
Maitland rallied his wits to the task.
"O'Hagan," said he, this man, Snaith,
who was here this afternoon, called
himself a detective. AS soon as we
were alone he raped me over the
head with a loaded cane, and, | sus-

everything he could lay hands on.

year was an ideal day. The hard rain
of Sunday night left the air cool and
sweet and the roads in good condition
while the clouds partly concealed the
sun and made conditions excellent
for marching.
The procession formed at the Grand
| Opera House as usual and proceeded
to Greenwood cemetery, thence to
Oakland, at which places the resting
places of the boys in blue who have
answered the last bugle call were de-
corated with fragrant flowers. The
procession with George Fish as chief
marshal and DIR. Harold L. Lamb as
assistant formed in the following
order:
Mounted Police
Mayor and City Council in Carriages
Sauk Centre Band
Comrades of the G. "A. r.
Fire Department
Franklin Band
Children of the Public Schools
Flower Girls
Woman's Relief Corps
Citizens
When the procession reached the
top of the hill near Sauk river the
veterans entered conveyances provid-
ed for them and rode the rest of the
way. The procession was one of the
longest ever seen in Sauk Centre on a
similar occasion, the rear having just
crossed the bridge as the head arrived
at Greenwood. Much credit is due
to Marshal Fish and his assistant for
the fine appearance presented by the
procession. At the cemeteries the
graves were decorated according to
the ritual of the G. A. R., the proper
officers reading the ceremony. The
flower girls placed the blossoms on
the graves.
The exercises in the Grand Opera
House began at 2 o'clock, Comrade
Jas. Norris of r. B. Palmer Post pre-
siding. The G. A. R., w. r. c., and
the Sauk Centre Fire Department at
tended in body and occupied reserved
seats infront. The seating capacity
of the house was taxed and many
stood up during the exercises.
A selection by the Franklin bahd
was the first on the program; then
Rev. ]. T. B. Smith offered prayer
and double quartet consisting of
Mrs. Geo. Fish and Miss Campbell,
sopranos; Mrs. r. E. Hansen and Miss
Clara Carr, altos; JAS. A. Norris and
Elmer Hendry, tenors; DR.. E. c. Rich
and Cliff Manderscheid, basses; rem
dered vocal selection entitled 'Pat-
riotic Sons and Loyal Daughters.
Rev. j. T. B. Smith then offered
prayer, after which the seventh and
eighth grade pupils of the public
schools sang a selection. Francis
Boutell delivered Lincoln's Gettys-
burg speech, speaking in "a clear tone
of voice that could be heard all over

the room. Then a song by the boys
choir and recitation lode to Old
Glory" given by Geo. Lew Ingram,
who captured the audience. The
choir sang again and then the orator
of the day, Rev. +. H. Oehler, gave
his address.
Mr.. Oehler, always entertaining,
was at his best. His address was
scholarly, eloquent, delivered
in fine style nd bri m m ng
with patriotism. He referred to the
twelve stones set up by Joshua after
the Children of Israel had crossed the
Jordan. These stones were memori-
al-all nations have memorials.
Shafts of granite adorn the battle
fields of the Civil war to testify to the
brave and glorious deeds of the boys
in blue. The speaker said the out
look for the nation would be sad if
it were to grow unmindful Of the
sacrifices made by these men. He de-
plored the tendency of these latter
days tc turn Memorial Day, which
should be holy day, into holiday.
Our forefathers laid the foundations
of the nation on the propositions of
the Declaration of independence.
Slavery was curse and in order that
the people should enjoy the full bene-
fits of republic, it had to be abolish
ed. The Missouri Compromise, the
Kansas-Nebraska Bill and things of
that sort were merely makeshifts;
the protest of the human race could
not be stilled until slavery should be
abolished. The moral sentiment and
and the righteous indignation of the
nation impelled the boys to take up
arms.
Free government was on trial in
that war. The failure of the war
would have been a blow to human
progress. Because the boys in blue
won, the United States has taken it's
place in the front rank of the nations
of the world.
The reason why the war was so long
and so bloody was because brother
was fighting brother. The men on
both sides were equally brave and
equally tenacious; they were both
sincere and battled for the cause
they believed to be right.
The thing that astonished the
civilized world was the ease with
these great armies, after the close of
war, were assimilated in the ranks of
citizens. They laid aside wars's trap
pings and again took up the pursuits
of peace. 1t was grander sight than
that of the charge of the First Min
nesota at Gettysburg.
No question is settled until it is
settled right; the war settled things
right and the nation accepts the ver-
dict; so does the world Patriotism
implies sacrifices and no good thing
comes without sacrifice. 1t was a
case not of the survival of the fittest
but of the sacrifice of the best. The
nation gave of its best and thousands
of them lie on the battlefields all over
the south.
A divine purpose ran through it all.
In the last analysis moral issues are
decisive. God was on the side of the
nation and the nation won. Lincoln
said he always tried to find out on
which side God was and then get on
that side himself. Memorial Day is
q mighty object lesson not only in pat
riotism butto impress upon us the
of righteous cause.
The double quartet then sang "Sol-
dier Rest, Thy Warfare O'er", in
which Miss Campbell rendered an
obligato'and the rest sang America"
as chorus. 1t was fine selection.
The Franklin Band then rendered a
selection, after which the audience

FUNOFGLOUCESTER FISHERFOLK
Lead Strenuous Life. Yet Have Plenty of
Good Hearty Diversion

To be leader of the Gloucester fish
ing fleet is no small honor. The ves-
sci which has taken the first place on
many trip to the Grand Banks has
recently been sold, and with the Inde-
pendence II. the Pride of Glouces-
ter" has departed. A newspaper line
or two bearing the intelligence, mod
estly tucked away among the more
prominent paragraphs of daily doings
suddenly opens vista in the mental
view of the reader, and his thoughts
go out, as it were, in the long sea-
wake of those stanch little vessels
and their sturdy crews. 1t is siren
uous life these fishermen lead, full
Of dangers and tragedies, yet it has a
bright side, for wherever a group of
healthy New Englanders work to-
gether in the open there is sure to be
plenty of hearty fun. A. w. Dimock,
writing in the Outlook, gives a
glimpse of the humor of these Glou-
cester fisherfolk.
These fishermen are not story-book
sailors. When l was seasick no one
was amused was coddled and
cared for, and plenty of fruit and
sympathy administered.
The men were intelligent and with
. good sense Of humor. A careless
