a well set up figure. But his fingers
were much stained with nicotine from
too many cigarettes. He dressed
gracefully, devoting considerable time
to his clothes-principally because he
did nothing else.

REGIMENT BAND PRAISED
New Military Organization Makes Ex-
celent Showing on First
Trip to Camp.

Madison-"One of the features of
the recent encampment at Camp
Douglas of the First regiment, Wis
consin national guard" said Col. Geo.
H. Joachim, recently, twas the thor
oughly satisfactory manner in which
the new band acquitted itself. Its
concert music and it's march music
alike were admired more than any
thing else and the regular army Off
GERS in the camp were SURPRISED when
told that the band was only mustered
into service a short time ago.
The band is made up of thirty-five
pieces. Heretofore Baraboo supplied
the music for this regiment, but the
musicians in that town began to thin
out several years ago and the neces-
sity arose of recruiting new set.
In addition to the band, music was
supplied by the drum and bugle
corps from Milwaukee. This organi-
cation was made up of twelve drum
mers and ten buglers and their
march music was subject of favor

WASHBURN MAN GETSPATENT
Has New Device for Delivering Mail
Sacks to Fast Trains at
Way Stations.

Washburn. - A patent has been
granted to George Lemieux of this
city on a new mail delivery device
which will undoubtedly be adopted by
the government in the handling Of
mails from stations where the
through trains do not stop. Hereto
fore the government has suffered
great loss in the destroying and tear
ing of mail sacks under the manner
in which they are now handled. The
new device changes the system of
handling mail sacks so that it will be
almost impossible for them to be
damaged or the contents smashed
The device is simple in construction,
being a cylinder barrel worked by a
spring. The mail is placed in the
cylinder and when the train passes,
a lever is released and the force of
the spring throws the mail sacks into
the mail car. The device can be
moved out of the way when not in
use, and the mail will be delivered
no matter what speed the train is
running.

decided on"
You'll live with your mother, same
bluntly.
Again Leclair shot him distrust-
full glance. "Ye-es, I suppose So" he
admitted, reluctantly. "Mother'd be
in that big house all alone. Or else
You'd live with your wife's folks. I"
finished Schmitz.
THAT question can be easily set
tied after we're married." replied Lee
clair, stiff1y.
Schmitz always had exasperated
him. They had grown up together
and the "sQuare-head," as he had
privately termed Schmitz, refused to
treat him with Difference. Schmitz
would not be dazzled by the fact that
his old playmate was the village Beau
Brummel-"Handsom Harry" his
friends called him. To Schmitz he
was still worthless, lazy youngster,
content to drift along, living on his
mothers slender income.
Anyway, thought I'd let you
know" Leclair said, with the slight
est possible accent on the personal
pronoun. He knew that Schmitz was
interested-deeply so-in Nellie Arm
strong. But In the calm sureness of
better looks and more polished man
ners he had never given the engineer
serious thought as rival.
And yet his heart misgave him
when he turned in at his own gate
How embarrassing his position would
be had he overestimated his facina-
tons! Or suppose Schmitz, warned

"You told Paul you were going to
ask Nellie to marry you?" echoed
his mother, fretfully, as they sat
down to supper. She had once been
handsome, but bitter discomfort had
married her features. why, Harry,
l think you'd have better sense! You
know how friendly they've been ever
since the three of you were children!"
"But it was only friendliness, !"
urged the youth. He hasn't been
near her home for week."
Hes always talking with her over
the wireless" retorted the mother,
her fretfulness increasing. First he
built that machine in his own house;
then he rugged one up for Fred Arm
strong, and taught him how to work
it. Next, of course. Nellie learned
it. They talk with it every evening.
You'll let that girl and all her money
slip through your fingers. as you've
let every other chance slip. you lazy
ood-for-nothing."
Hush" commanded her son, with
a frown. Let them talk over the
wireless! I'll end all that Tonight
he'll be a mile away. and I'll be there,
beside her Do you see?"
He spoke so confidently that Mrs.
Leclair unwillingly was Modified.

self by his mothers prophecy. The
sun was just setting when he left his
own home and turned toward the
Armstrong residence.
His fears of SchmitZ had been in
vain, after all, he decided. When he
passed the engineers home, the fel.
low was sitting on the porch, enjoy
ing an evening smoke. From a tall
f1agpole on the lawn to another pole
on the highest point of the house the
wireless antennae were strung. If
he hopes to gain any advantage over
me with that rigging" thought Le-
clair, triumphant and contemptuous,
hes badly fooled" He dwadled
comfortably along the way. When
the wireless rigging at the Armstrong
place came in sight, he smiled almost
pityingly.
Nellie is in the wireless room, "
said Mrs. Armstrong when Leclair
inquired for her.
He knew the way to it, and passed
into the house, up the broad stairs
to the second story and thence up
another stairway to the attic.
The big room, cut into queer
sloping angles by the roof and lighted
by dormer windows, was an attrac-
tive apartment. Especially was 1t
attractive when graced by the pres.
ence of Nellie Armstrong. She was
standing, slender, girlish figure in
| white. at the wireless instrument
which took up one end of the attic.
The receiving apparatus was strapped
over her fair hair. So intently was
she listening to a message that she
| seemed not to notice Leclair's coming.
Presently she reached forward and
began opening the key. Obedient
to the trained pressure, the big spark
| leaped back and forth between the
poles, swapping and cracking as 1t
did so.
The reply was brief When it was
| finished. the girl, with gesture in
describably joyous and light-hearted
removed the receiver and turned to
Leclair. The young man had never
seen her more beautiful. and his
heart beat quickly as he started for
ward, in tune to her mood. Her
| cheeks were flushed. her lips parted
with smile. and her eyes shone like
stars
Unconsciously she gave him both
her hands and Leclair's brain swan
with an intoxicating sense of victory
The proposal which he had secretly
feared was going to be easy, after all
She was making it easy.
ooh, Harry" she said, giving his
hands little shake, I'm so happy!
And you've always been friend, SO
you shall be the first to know"
Leclair's brain steadied suddenly
as though he had been drenched with
a bucket of water; his bounding
heart sank forebodingly. He looked
at her searchingly. What is it?''
he managed to ask at last, with dry
lips.
The girl had noticed that change
| had come into his manner, but she
was too engrossed in what the wire.
less had told to see it's true signifi
canoe. Her head dropped shyly, and
the color in her cheeks deepened.
Paul has asked me to marry him.
she said softly. and l told him yes.
Wasn't it clever of him TOTO ask by
wireless? Why, you aren't going?"
as Leclair turned away. Wait: Paul
Is coming right over"
Il can't" said Leclair, Ifelessly
II just dropped in for a minute to
say good-by. I'm leaving town tomon
row."
