said he would like to put the date on
his paper ahead a year and he was
promptly accommodated. 81 suppose

Prof. and Mrs. Tjaden of Kuhn,
Dickey County, North Dakota, and

Christmas guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Muma of this city. Prof. Tjaden is
recognized as one Of the leading edu-
Gators in North Dakota and will
eventually arrive at the head of the
educational system in that state.
Monday was generally observed as a
holiday in this city and everybody
seemed willing to enjoy a Sunday and
Monday rest. The week previous was
a strenuous one for storekeepers and
clerks and the buying public were not
inclined to exert themselves on Mon
day. Some places were open in the
forenoon, but in the afternoon every
body was out enjoying an atmos.
phere of 40 above.
Last Saturday was not as pleasant
as May, nevertheless the town was
filled with holiday shoppers and the
stores were filled until a late hour
with those that hadn't bought all
they wanted before. 1t was a rush
and a good one, and the sharp atmos-
phere made street visits brief. Every
body had bundles and every face was
full of smiles and eve the little ones
felt the holiday impulse as they knew
Santa Claus was coming after dark.
and we believe Santa Claus was never
buster than he was this year.
Mrs. Nettie Morgan of Deer Park,
Wash, in remitting for the LEADER

find an Overcoat to take care of, as
Lewis Larson seems so anxious about
her success In that line. 1 don't quite
understand the overcoat business, but

thought she was the sweetest maid in

Beloit Orphan Home.

Superintendent Gunderson of the
Beloit Orphan Home was m of the
busiest men you ever saw for several
days preceding Christmas and finally
closed up with a big celebration at
the Home on Monday night, SO as not
to interfere with the church celebra-
tion in Canton on Christmas eve.
Superintendent GundersOn made
ample preparation for the event at
the Home and had supplies enough to
make a genuine Christmas feast and
festival. He had several wagon loads
and among the presents for the Home
were two handsome leather finished
platform rockers presented by J. An
derson & Son.
The Beloit Hume is one of the best
managed in the country and the home
feature is carried out through the
cottage system and the children are
educated and cared for until they are
large enough to care for themselves.
1t is a splendid institution and is I'M
der the supervision Of a board of d.
rectors who represent the Lutheran
church.

Gilman johnson, brother Of State
Treasurer Johnson, came down from
Perkins county last week in time to
celebrate the holidays among his
friends and relatives at Fairview.
Gilman has proved up on his home
stead and will remain at Fairview
until spring when he will return and
begin seeding and improving his place.
His farm is "a the Meade county
line and about seven miles west of
the new railroad town Of Faith, and
almost neal enough to the Arrowhead
colony of Lincolnites to hear the col
ony ROSTERS crow. Gilman found
plenty OF good soft water on his farm
at 8 feet, and the soil is a sandy loan
and very productive, and he remarked
with a smile that he might take an
extra overcOat back with him.

SO softly as not to rouse the sleeping
Marrika. By seven her lightest bag
was packed, herself was bathed,
brushed, dressed even to hat and
gloves, and standing at her window
with all the listening alert look Of
one in a waiting room expecting a
train. She was watching for the city
to begin to stir; watching for enough
traffic below in the streets to make
her own movement there not too no

should take violent form at last and
assail her in the moment of escape.

CHAPTER XXI.
The House Of Quiet.


The day which had dawned so still
and gloomy was Weakening to some
thing like wildness, threatening,
Frightening, gusty, when they stepped
out of the train upon the platform OF
the San Mateo station. Clouds were
piling gray and castle-like from the
east up toward the zenith, and dark
fragments kept tearing off the edges
and spinning away across the sky. But
between them the bright face of the
sun flashed out with double splendor,
and the thinned atmosphere made the
sky seem high and far, and all form
beneath it clarified and intense.
There upon the narrow platform
Mrs. Herrick hesitated a moment,
looking at Flora. what train do you
want to meet?" she asked.
Flora stood perplexed. 81 hardly
know. You see l can't tell how soon
my letter would reach-would be re-
ceived."
Then we would better meet them
all" the elder woman decided.
They drove away into the face OF
the wet. fresh wind and flying drops
of rain. Flora, leaning back in the
'carriage, looked out through the win
dow with quiet eyes. The spirited
movement Of the sky, the racing Of
its shadows on the grass, the rolling
foliage of the trees, seen tempestuous
against flying cloud, were alike to her
c%onsoling and inspiring. She had
never felt so free as now, driving
through the fitful weather, nor so safe
as with this companion who was sit
ting silent by her side. She was driv-
ing away from all her complications.
The house, when finally it doomed
upon them, with it's irregular roofs
topped by curious square t~urrets,
with its deep upper and lower ver-
andas, looked out upon by a multitude
of long French windows, seemed too
large, too strangely imposing for a
structure of wood. But whatever OF
original ugliness had been there was
hidden now under q splendid tapestry
of vines, and Flora, looking up at the
rose and h~oneysuckle that panoplied
its front, felt her throat swell for
sheer delight.
For a moment after they had left
the carriage they stood together in the
porte-cochere, looking around them
Then half wistfully, half ~humorously.

At q private view of the chatworth
personal estate. TO be sold at auction, the
Crew Idol mysteriously disappears. Harry
Greasy, who was present, describes the
ring to his fiancse, Flora Gilsey, and her
chaperon, Mrs. Clara Britton, as being
like a heather god, with a beautiful sap
phire set in the head. Flora meets Mr..
Kerr, an Englishman. In discussing the
disappearance of the ring. the exploits of
an English thief, Farrell Wand, are re-
called. Kerr tells Flora that he has met
Harry somewhere, but annot place him.
$20,0 GOO reward is offered for the return of
the ring. Harry takes Flora to a Chinese
goldsmith's to buy an engagement ring.
An exquisite sapphire set in a hoop OF
brass is selected. Harry urges her not to
wear 1t until it is reset. The possession
of the ring seems to cast a spell over
Flora. She becomes uneasy and appre-
hensive. Flora is startled by the effect
on Kerr when he gets a glimpse of the
sapphire. The possibility that the stone
is part of the Crew Idol causes Flora
much anxiety. Unseen, Flora discovers
Clara ransacking her dressing room.
Flora refuses to give or sell the stone to
Kerr, and suspects him Of being the
thief. She decides to return the ring to
Harry, but he tells her to keep 1t for a
day or tive. Ella Butler tells Flora that
Clara is setting her cap for her father,
Judge Butler. Flora believes Harry sus-
poets Kerr and Is waiting to make sure
of the reward before unmasking the thief.

well, for a fact, I know it is
stolen!" He leaned toward her; and
his arms, still flung out with the hands
open as argument had left them,
seemed to her frightened eyes all
ready for her, ready with his last ar
gument, his strength.
She pressed back against the glass
until she felt it hard behind her.
Harry" she whispered, "if you care
anything, if you ever want me for
yours, you'll take your hands away"
She meant it; she was sincere in that
moment, for all she shrank from him.
Her body and mind would not have
been too great a price to give him for
the sapphire.
Then all at once she felt his arm
around her neck. She couldn't move
her body. She could only turn her
head from his hot breath. For a mo-
ment he held her, and yet another
moment; and then, terrified at what
this strange immobility might mean,
she raised her eyes and saw he was
not looking at her. Though he held
her fast he was not conscious of her.
Straight over her head he looked,
through the window and down into
the garden. Her eyes followed. 1t
lay beneath. the wonder Of it's morn.
ing aspect all blanched and dim. She
saw the silhouette of rose branches In
black on the sky. She saw the flowers
and bushes all one dull tone. But In
the midst of them the oval Of the path
shone white; and there, as in the aft
,ernoon, standing, looking upward, was
the dark figure of a man.
Her heart gave a great leap. Just
so she'd been summoned once before
that day, but what internal freak ha6
fetched him back to repeat that dan
gerous sally, and brought him finally
into his enemy's grasp? She tried tt
make a gesture to warn him, and Just
there Harry released her, dropped hel
so that she half fell upon the window
seat, and made a dash across the
