Quit Claims to the County.

On Tuesday last quit claim deeds to
the court house park were filed in the
recorders office. One was from the
city of Cresco, by its mayor, to Howard
County of the west 100 feet of the
park, the other was deed by the exec
utors of the Beadle estate to the County
of the balance Of the park. Inasmuch
as the trustees of the park have signed
no deed, it is most extremely doubtful
if the County has any title to the park
which would stand suit in court should
any interested person see fit to question
it. However, the deeds seem to salts
fy the Board and most of the people.
which we suppose is all that is neces-
sary.
As result of the matter, the Board
of Supervisors has paid the paving bill
for which the city was sued, and have
a force of men at work raising and re-
pairing the sidewalks on the west side
or the park.

simple, natural and primitive. Whit
takers glance fell upon well-nigh per-
feet woman. The constraining influ-
ences of civilization had been SO long
absent that nature had time and op-
portunity to reassert its claim. She
was tall, exquisitely modelled. Her
bare arms might have supplied those
missing from the Venus of Milo; her
limbs, which the short tunic to her
knees left exposed, we're perfect in
their symmetry and strength; her feet
were such as those to which ancient
Greece had bowed; her hands were
shapely, graceful, yet strong; her dark
eyes looked at him fearlessly; her
dark hair rose like a somber, cloudy
crown above her brow. The fierce sun,
the open air, the wild wind had not
materially altered the clear, slightly
olive pallor of her face. The woman
had been beautiful before. Now that
nature had had free sway, she was
nobly lovely. She had stood a little in
the rear of the man at first and the
lieutenant commander had not partic-
ularly observed her When she spoke,
she stepped into the open. He stared
and stared amazed.
Indeed, the direct intensity of his
glance added a sudden new percep-
ton to the woman's faculties and for
the first time in years she realized
that she was standing before her fell
lows half naked. In one swift mo-
ment convention leaped across the
missing years and caught her in its
arm. The red flashed into her cheek;
beneath her rude vest her bosom rose
and fell. Her instinct for the moment
was to fly. She wished that she had
put on those treasured garments which
she had kept for a scene like this in
that cave all those years. 1t was too

but you were not free" said the
Soman, Ito enter upon such an under

mo, by heaven!" cried Whitaker.
Now, this conversation had been
carried on with three auditors, or
groups of auditors, besides those par
ticipating; Langford's yachtsmen, the
marines and seamen from the Chey-
enne, for the boat was against the
shore, and the man of the island,
Whitaker first awoke to the situa-
ton.
Il beg your pardon" he said, but
would it not be better to continue this
conversation privately?"
Il think So" returned Langford.
NO" said the man of the island,
addressing the lieutenant commander
for the first time, you and these men
are the world. l want the story told
where all the world may hear"
Whittaker's surprise at this remark
was scarcely less than he had expe.
rienced when the woman addressed
him. Who was this splendid, godlike
form of man standing glooming by the
woman's side, a silent, eager listener
to all that transpired? What had he
to do with the question that he as.
, sumed this tone and manner of au,
thority? The officer turned toward the
woman.
81 think" said he quietly, that the
lady should be allowed to decide"
my wish is my friends WISH" said
the woman laying her hand softly
upon the mans arm.
Whitaker observed that the man
shook 1t off nervously, but the point
being settled, there was no further ap,
peal.
Pray proceed with your story, Mr.,
Langford," he continued.

late now. She summoned her cour-
age, and realizing that dignity, after
all, is not made of clothes or conven-
tions, once more addressed him.
"Sir," she said, my name is Kath-
arine Brenton. am not, as you might
we'll think, savage, but castaway."
II beg your pardon" said the Off.
Ger, a man of wide reading and cul.
ture; "is it possible that you are the
Katharine Brenton who wrote Fate
and Destiny'?"
81 am that unhappy woman"
Unhappy"
"Yes," returned the other. 'I.'-"
Madam" said the Lieutenant com
mander, flushing deeply and bowling in
his turn. He had taken of Fis cap
at her first word. II beg your pardon

He was very much embarrassed. II
was Langford who took up the tale.
"Since you know so much, Mr.. Whit
taker, you may as we'll hea,' the rest
Indeed, l am anxious that Ihe world
should hear It, Miss BreDIon and J.
we-er-did not believe in marriage
and we went away-togetheC."
Every word was agony to Langford
who was a proud man; 1t was worse
than agony to Katharine Brcnton, who
was a proud woman; and II was worst
agony of all to the man Of the is
land. But Langford persisted. He did
not care how he hurt himself Indeed
he rather luxuriated in the conscious
ness of his own pain. It was part Of
his expiation. He realized that he
would have to hurt Karnarine, but per
haps the very keenness of her pain
would make her realize her position
and he wanted to win her, now that
he had found her and seen Her, more
than ever. Nor was his passion q
base one. Again he was ashamed Of
what he had already said. so he spoke
the more frankly. He gave no thought
at all to the other man, but II be had

this juncture. She, too, would be

The officer bowed.

Langford. yet 1 was not altogether
a sham or a lie. 1t was true that

The lieutenant commander flashed a
contemptuous look at him at which
Langford WINGED, but he went on. He
was determined to make an absolute
ly clean breast of the whole affair.
1T is true / was a married man
but I was under the spell Of Miss
Brenton's eloquence and Of her
beauty"

the officer, gravely, as a matter OF
course.

Good Record Made by Women.

Through the activity Of women. in
the anti-tuberculosis campaign, sana-
toria and hospitals for the treatment
of tuberculosis have been erected;
travelling libraries have been circu-
lated, posters, circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib-
uted to the number of millions OF
pieces, thousands Of lectures have
been given, large sums Of money have
been secured, hundreds of needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work
has been started in many communl-
ties where no movement had existed;
and millions of women have learned
the dangers and methods Of proven
ton OF tuberculosis. The work of the
women extends from the drawing room
of the rich to the homes of the poor,
and embraces all classes, including the
factory girl and millionaire. During
the coming year a special campaign Of
lectures to women will be carried on
in all parts Of the United states.

and unable to speak in any known Ian.
guage. She decides to educate him and
mold his mind to her own ideals. She
flnds evidence that leads her to believe
that the man Ia John Revell Charnock OF
Virginia, and that he was cast ashore
when a child. Katharine Brenton was a
highly specialized product of leading
university. Her writings on the sex prob
lem attracted wide attention. The son OF
a u-millionaire becomes Infatuated
with her and they decide to put her theo-
rles into practice. With no other cere-
mony than a handshake, they go away
together. A few days on his yacht re
veals to her that he only professed lofty
ideals to possess her. While drunk he at
tempts to kiss her. She knocks him down
and leaves him unconscious, escaping In
the darkness in a gasoline launch. During
a storm she is cast ashore on an island.
Three years teaching gives the man a
splendid education. Their love for each
other is revealed when he rescues her
from a cave where she had been impris-
oned by an earthquake. A ship is sighted
and they light a beacon to summon 1t.
Langford, on his yacht, sights the beacon
and orders his yacht put in. The woman
recognizes the yacht and tells her COM

her in the greatest way. Langford recog-
nizes Katharine. He tells the man that
she had been his mistress, and narrowly
escapes being killed.
