She'll understand that I'm inside. If
you drop your parasol towards her you

when they had begun to walk again.
| That cannot attract attention, even
if she does look round, and it explains
good many things. It's in the thin
ner envelope, of course"
Van Torp fumbled in the pocket of
his jacket, and brought out the slip
of newspaper without the envelope, a
precaution which Margaret noticed
and approved.
She watched him intently while he
read the printed report, but his face
did not change in the least At that
short distance she could see every
shade of his expression through the
white yelling, though he could not see
hers at all. He finished reading

into his pocket-book instead of return

Margaret said viciously.

This was a statement so evidently
absurd that it could not be answered
except by a fiat contradiction; so
Margaret said nothing, and went on
working her hand into a perfectly
new glove.
II see that you have not even
opened your letters" Mrs. Rushmore
continued severely Except that
she added, noticing the loose sheets
of Lady Maud's letter on the toilet
table.

folded them into crumpled package
and thrust them into the empty en-
velope. For once, she had forgotten
her caution, but she retrieved herself
by pushing the thick letter into hel

for it made an ugly lump. She made
1t worse by forcing in the second

THIRTY SIX YEARS AGO
From the River Falls Journal
of Aug. &c, "a.

H. S. Proctor, one of the practical
farmers of the county, says this
season furnishes the finest crops
raised here in the last ten years.
Last Sunday evening, near Bur-
nett's stave mill, a frightened COW,
with board on her face, jumped
into the buggy driven by ]. F. Mich
OILS. No serious damage was done.
We had curious freak of a show
er here last Tuesday. In Mr.. Proc
tors field, while it rained quite brisk
at one end, not drop fell at the
other-a distance of less than one
hundred yards.
Peter Gould has just opened a
barber shop on Main street, first
door north of Pierce's Store-house,
where he is preparing to accomo-
date all WHO wish clean shave or
a stylish hair cut. He will shave
you eight times and cut your hair
for 81, or give you ten shayes, and
you retain your hair, for the same
money.

THE w, r. C.

1t was not until six years later
that the Post organized an auxiliary
to their order. On June %, 1890,
l. N. Nichols Corps No. 81, w. r.
C. met for the first time and officers
were installed by Mrs. Barlow and
Mrs. Jewel of the Hudson Corps.
There were fifteen charter members
present on this occasion; of these
five have passed away, two have

died, nineteen have been transferred
to Corps in other states and twenty

ent membership of seventy-fve,
sixty-eight being resident members
The local w. R. c. has been a
marked success, not only as help
full auxiliary to the G. A. R., but
wherever it has taken part in Chart
able work in any connection.

Josephus Bailey, present Com.
Since its organization the Post
has had a total of 139 members.
Death has claimed Al and 46 have
moved away from River Falls and
dropped their membership. The
largest membership for any one
time was SO. The present number
is 51-the largest membership of
any post in the ST. Croix Valley.
Lack of sufficient space compels
US to limit our sketch of the history
of the Post, to a sort of summing up
of names and dates, while we would
like to publish some of the wartime
experiences of the members, the
battles and incidents which resulted
in the battle scars our veterans bear,
to give the idea of Libby and Ander-
sonville prisons that they endured,
and to go more into the details as
Mr.. Knowles SO ably described them
in his address at the anniversary
celebration Monday.
Never had River Falls so much
cause for pride i'll any organization
sent to represent it as in August,
1906, when our G. A. r. Post
marched in the procession at Min
neapolis at the National Encamp-
ment. The attention and cheers
with which their approach was
heralded proclaimed them as one of
the greatest patriotism inspiring
features of that enormous parade.
In closing, Mr.. Knowles expressed
the sentiment of the entire G. A. r.
in the following soldierly manner:
"Our Post is, like all others,
growing smaller yearly, and, as we
have none to recruit from, ii will
not be many years before l. N.
Nichols Post will be but a memory,
but we sincerely hope that memory
will keep patriotism and generation
for the Glorious Old Flag" in the
minds and heartsaof- the generations
to come"

The following history of 1. N.
Nichols Post III, G. A. R., is taken
from data arranged by C. G.
Knowles:
The origin of the idea of form
ing an association of Civil War
veterans is credited to Major B. F.
Stevenson of Illinois, who, shortly
after the close of the war drew up a
set of rules and regulations and,
with himself as Commander-in-
Chief, organized the first G. A. R.
Post in Illinois. Wisconsin veterans
were the next to organize and River
Falls was right in line. Politics
soon became the dominant factor in
the management of the order and
