CHAPTER XIII.

How we'll Lady Edith looks in
evening dress!" remarked Elizabeth,
as we discussed the events of the
evening after the departure of our
guests.
"Mr. Blake evidently thought So"
returned Gabrielle. HE had eyes for
no one else. But she was stunning
in that black gown"
And Lord Wilfrid looked awfully
distinguished" continued Elizabeth.
His quiet, reserved manner is very
impressive. don't you think so? The
Americans simply were not in 1t with
the English"
Blood will tell" said Gabrielle. who
poses as being very democratic, but Is
at heart a thorough aristocrat.
"And Mary Anne's entrees were per-
fection," resumed Elizabeth, with great
satisfaction. "She is treasure. To
think of cooking and serving that din
ner all herself! What does it matter
to such genius II she has a dozen
worthless sons?'
What indeed?"I acquiesced, yawn-
ing. and proposed bed, but the others
objected. saying that it was not late
and they were very wide awake.
Lets have prowl," suggested Ga
brielle, who loved to wander about the
cottage and look at the ocean from all
points of the compass the last thing
before retiring. as though she expected

piled, "and we can hold up our skirts,

while"
was sorry l had not gone also as
soon rs they turned the corner, and,
picking up my long skirt carefully,
started in pursuit | saw, however,
that they were deep in one of the
heart to heart conversations in which
they sometimes INDUCED, and decided
not to interrupt them. but to wait un-
til they came back to earth and re-
membered my existence. So, after q
moments hesitation, | sat down on
the steps leading to the slip, knowing
they would certainly visit it before
they went in, as It was Gabrielle's IA
yorite view. Even tonight, when
there was no moon and the outlook
was therefore limited, | was sure she
would not desert il.
Resting my chin IN my hand, re-
viewed the evening, which, from my
own private and particular standpoint,
had been failure Elizabeth had
mentioned Lord Wilfrd's reserved
manner, but to me he had seemed dis
tinctly sulky, and | had more than
| once seen his sister look at him APP
| pealLngly, and at last with an indig-
nant sparkle in her brown eyes, after
/ which he reused himself and conversed
in perfunctory manner with his
neiehbor-who happened to be my I'M
/ fortunate self.

room had rehearsed a dignified bear.
! ing and certain imaginary speeches
thought would be very effective. II
was therefore somewhat disconcerting
to be politely ignored by the gentle
man in question. who, beyond a civil
bow and smile, had appeared unaware
of my existence and had devoted him
self exclusively to Elizabeth, who
looked especially pretty in her pale

Grinnell, July 29.-Company K met
another defeat on the diamond last
evening at the hands of the Spauld-
fngs, the final score being to l. Poor
fielding. a passed ball, and a costly
overthrow of the catcher to third, were
quite largely responsible for the defeat.
This disaster apparently leaves the
Company K team hopeless tail-enders,
tho there is a bare possibility of get
ting even with the Farmers, as pass
ing them slightly. Sears and Benson
formed the Company X battery, and
Hunter and Loos did the work for the
Spauldings. The umpire was Hamp-
ton.
The percentage standing of the Twi-
light League teams previous to last
nights game was as follows: Clerks,
S51; Windsors, ia; Spauldings, 571;
F9remen, 429: Farmers, 2S6; Company
K, 143. AS the schedule of games to
be played by the Twilight League
comes near to the finish, the interest
in the winning of the silver trophy
bat offered by Bartling and Nuckolls
for the best batting average is rapid
" reaching fever heat AT present, the
standing is as follows: Case, of the
Spauldings, has nine safe hits to his
credit; Doe, of the Spauldings, has
seven: Spooner, of the Windsors, Pat
ton and Rinefort, of the Clerks, and
Greenwood. of Company K, are cred
tied with tiv hits each; Slater, of the
Windsors, Decatur and Guile, of Conn
pany X, Brown, James and Mccoy, of
the Spauldings, Martin, of the Clerks,
and Stowe, of the Firenren. have four
hits each; and a number of others are
trailing with three, two and one each.

Sioux City, July 29.-Appropriating
the name of Hal Lang, member of
one of the most prominent families in
Sioux City, and sailing under false
coiors for over a month in order to win
for himself the good will of Constable
and Mrs. Frank Durham, parents OF
lI-year-old Lottie Durham, whom he
wished to we'd, Edward H. Sametz. 7s5
Forest Home avenue, Milwaukee, Wis,
travelling salesman for an eastern cloak
manufacturing concern, perpetrated up
on the parents the most daring fraud
ever successfully worked" in Sioux
City.
The plot to deceive the parents of the
girl In order to consummate the mar
rage was the outgrowth of street
irritation. The elimination came Mon
day morning about 1880. when Sametz
and the Durham girl went to Dakota
City, secured a marriage license and
We're wed by Judge Stinson.
So shrewdly had Sametz and Miss
Durham planned the deception of the
girls parents that both the constable
ana his wife when interviewed swore
IN most positive terms that their
daughter had been married TO Hal
Lang, son of John Lang, OF the firm
OF Haley & Lang, wholesale fruit and
commission merchants
For more thon a month Sametz, who
Is about p years old, was an OCCASION
al visitor at the Durham home in
Leeds During all this time he and
ms falr sweetheart played upon the
faith of the parents of the girl and took,
advantage of their confidence in her.
1t was about a month ago that
Miss Durham came down the steps
of the building, the second floor of
which is occupied by the National
Business Training School, in which
she was a student. The girl is a
handsome blonde. Her golden hair
and blue eyes fired the heart of
Sametz, who was 'loafing' in front
of the West Hotel, less than a half
block away.
He followed the girl a shont dis
lance and in less than three minutes
had made bold to address her. She
met his advances not unkindly. A
date" was made and the girl met
the man on the city streets after
nightfall. 1t was then that the plot
to deceive Constable and Mrs. Dun
ham was laid.
Lothie told sametz that her par
ents were inclined to be prejudiced
against travelling statesmen unless
they had personal acquaintance with
them. But the pair were not to be
daunted by any parental prejudices.
They set themselves the task of con-
costing plan to pull the wool over
the eyes" Of Mr.. and Mrs. Dun
ham and succeeded.

Des Moines. July 2s.-In spite of the
claim that enough money goes out of
Iowa annually for the purchase of
Texas land TO build 200 miles of inter
urban railroad, Iowa is each year get
ting richer. The assessment figures are
now completed for this year. They are
the best indication of the worth OF the
state. Tho Il is true that in general
personal property escapes much of its
share of the taxation yet so far as the
farmer is concerned this is not true
for his stock and visible personal
properly is right where the assessor
can see it and as a result il Is an

The comparison this year with that
