Dora, whether you go on the stage or not in this play of mine is a mat ter that you must decide. but let me gagement'-now came the great mo ment for both of them-"an engage. ment for all time.''
 They had come to turn of the road beyond which the town opened UT rather suddenly. She turned her head slowly away from him. He stopped and took her other hand and drew heI toward him.
 "Is it yes2" he asked. Now she turned her face upward toward his and said with all the ten derness of a true woman: "Willard shall I say Willard?-I am more than sure that I love you. Some O1 the happiest moments that have had have been with youv Tears welled into her eyes. 'I would like to feel thoroughly free to say yes. But erery- thing that fee! like doing of nry o,on .riH has the quality Of an Impending doom" ~
 ''That is the fault, Dora, if you will pardon my saying so, of your Aunt Cornelia and her sponge cake"
 ''I feel that you are right" she said ''but even there feel that I am com hitting some great sin in either speak ing disrespectfully or thinking ad versely of my aunt. To me she repre-. sents fate and the moralities"-
 "And the dreadful puritanical con science! Let us forget about Aunt Cornelia. Let us just remember that there are only you and I-you and with our love and life and health and our romance"--
 "What did your cynic say about romance" she asked.
 "I quoted that because of the com polling power of exception. We are the exception. I quoted it because wanted to be sure that we weren't i'll mated"
 "Do you want me to say yes now. Nillard?"
 "I want you to do what you think is right. But, Dora, in the thought that you will say yes my heart is singing, and each drop of blood in ne is fired with new purpose. with new resolve. There shall be the best that is possible out of my life, and, God give me strength and knowledge, there shall be the best possible out of your life and''-here the young man paused. looked her fully in the eye and drew her toward him--"out of the lives that shall follow ours"
 She paused. Indecision seemed to master her. Then, as though with a determined effort, she seemed to cast from her mind some threatening cloud.
 ''I think I want to say yes now," she whispered.

about what I have to say to you he cause it means so much to me and because of little fear that I may have made a mistake, and perhaps another fear that you may think I am taking an unfair advantage of our friendship"
 He was talking very earnestly now and he could not repress the emotion that swelled his heart and threatened to make his voice unsteady. Il would rather go on in silence, thinking that you loved me a little and knowing that loved you a great deal, than to learn now that your friendship for me was purely, solely matter of business"
 That isn't so," said the girl soft ly, "even if friendship could be a mat ter of business As she spoke her eyes shone with depth of feeling, and she smiled happily.
 He laughed gayly at the reproof, she joining him.
 Thanks very much for the correc- ton" he said, "and also." and he took her hand as they walked along, flor the sentiment that preceded it.

me If you were religious I would have said 'No.' have nothing on which to support the belief, but your attitude toward things seemed more or less that of an agnostic."
 "In great moments" replied Hoi- comb-"and by great moments I mean those which men recognize as affect ing their careers-all men of all times are religious. I'll tell you my theory some other time, dear"
 They were barely inside the house when luncheon was announced, and by all except Vavin they were greeted with some curiosity and much cold. ness.
 "Tell me. my dear," said the French. man as they entered the dining room, "this young man-it is more than busi- ness, yesT
 It was a little too soon after the great moment for Dora to have her usual composure, but his sympathy and affection made her glad that the first person that she should tell should be her old friend. =. =

WOMAN DECLARES
VICTIM Of! MURDER
is HER HUSBAND
Nearly Three Months Elapse
Between Brutal Crime and
Discovery of Relatives.

Aberdeen, S. D., Nov. 26.-The victim
of the mysterious murder of septem-
Der 8, last, has beer identified as Cd
mund Casey, a farmer, whose family,
consisting of a widow and six children,
the eldest Of whom is but 10 years OF
age, reside neal Strool, S. d., where
Mrs. Casey's father has a claim.
On the morning of September 4 the
body of a stranger was found lying
near the Milwaukee, tracks, a snort
distance outside the city. A bullet
wound told the manner Of his death.
His pockets We're turned inside out,
indicating the motive for the murder
had been robbery. There was abso-
lutely no clue to the identity of the
murderer and nothing could be found
on the person of the dead man TO give
an idea OF his identity. After keeping
b body as long as possible, and pho
tographing it, it was finally inferred at
n expense OF the county, at River
side cemetery here.
Last fall Edmund Casey, a farmer,
whose home was at International Falls,
Mimi, concluded to take a claim in the
reservation country west of the Mis-
souri, river in South Dakota, where his
wife's father a already located. on
reaching Milbank, he decided to tarry
awhile, as work was plentiful and he
was a poor man, with a large family.
and he needed the money. So he sent(
his family on to his wife's people near,
Strool. and stopped off to work. That
Is the last his wife saw or heard of
him. She went TO her father, and when
she received no word from her hus-
band, she became anxious. Finally, in
the daily newspapers she read an ac-
count OF the murder of an unknown
a She feared IL might be her nus
band, and wrote the authorities here,
but their reply evidently went astray,
for she did not receive ii. Finally, as
the absence continued, she wrote again,
and Sheriff Anderson sent her q pho
tograph OF the dead man, which she
recognized as her husband. Mrs. Casey
at once started for Aberdeen, where
she arrived yesterday, and completed
the Identification.

ELECTION LAWS OF
SOUTH DAKOTA Will
MEET WITH CHANGE
Plan to Shorten the Ballot and
Cut Down Expense of Publ
cation by Counties.

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 23.-That either
e. c.. Issenuth, of Sphinx county or c.
j. Morris, Of Minnehaha, will be the
next speaker of the house. is regarded
as a certainty by state leaders who
have recently been here arranging for
accommodations for the coming ses-
sion. which will have some features of
commanding interest.
Issenuth has three terms in the
house 10 his credit and is one OF the
most substantial men in the state
financially as well as personally. His
popularity was retarded somewhat by
his championship of the negotiable in
strument' bill which went down to de-
feat six years ago, but he is today
q strong man in the north half Of the
state. Morris is credited with being
the leader OF the progressive forces in
the house two years ago, when he
was chairman of the judiciary commit
toe, and ne also gathers some prestige
from coming from Minnehaha county,
which has disowned Kittredge as a
leader IN politics and is inclined to fol-
low Morris. Whiting, of Sanborn, has
some following, Ink j. L. Browne,
of Brown" Aberdeen, will come back
after a vacation of one term, probably
without ambition to again succeed to
this speakership, which ne held two
terms, but with friends who will want
to again honor him. He is a stand
patter, but has never o~yereXerted him.

ship, although he was two years g
the stalwart candidate against Vessey
for the g~overnorship in the primaries.
The one piece of legislation which ap-
pears to have been agreed upon as a
result OF handling the long ballot
ct the recent election is the amend
ment of the election laws so that here
after the amendments and referred
laws may be voted by title only. In
this connection it is regarded as GER
tain hat there will no longer remain
q chance for the newspapers In any
one county to collect nearly $4,000 for
publishing such enactments.
