Maurice to Aunt Clara.
Not being duller than most
people, l could divine a
meaning in all this; but
what meaning? Who was
Anthony Allen, and why
should Elizabeth Stuart
blush SO painfully at the
mere mention of his name?
| determined to find out,
and you, dear Mills, who
know me tolerably well, do
not need to be told that I
succeeded in my deter
mination,-at the cost, I
fear, of some of Elizabeth's
affection; for she loves me
none the better for COM
pelling her confidence.
After luncheon that day
l followed Elizabeth to her
room, and found her stand
ing at the window looking
out on the Pine Walk. She
was pale again and her
eyes were sad; but oh. how
proud her face was!
Elizabeth said 1, Sit

Again that magnificent
color! But her voice was
steady and even toned as
she answered. without
turning her head, "He is
the son of our neighbor,
Mr.. Allen. They live over
there at Rockywold; you
can see tile house over the
pines of the walk"
"Is he your lover, Eliza

Elizabeth flashed round

AUTO ROLLS Down
AN EMBANKMENT

Granville Herald: Martin Foyen and
family were among the Granville peo-
pie who celebrated at Velva on the
Fourth, and were in an automobile ac-
cident in which their escape from in
jury was truly miraculous. In COM
pany with several others they were re-
turning in Martin Hendrickson's auto
mobile from the Velva park, when in
meeting some other cars, they got too
close to the edge Of the grade, and the
automobile rolled down the embank-
ment turning over twice before reach
ing the bottom, twenty feet below
Three doctors were on the scene in an
instant and when the occupants of the
refractory automobile were examined
1t was found that no serious injuries
were sustained, Mrs. o. A. Victel suf-
fering a fractured rib and little baby
having received a slight scalp wound.
The automobile came off with two
broken wheels. How the party in the
car escaped injury or death is a puzzle
and it 1t an experience they will not
care to have repeated.

LOOKS BRIGHTER
At Devils LAKE

Devils Lake, N. D., July 14.-Monday
nights rain frightened the crop pros
poets considerably. 1t was general
throughout the county, from two-thirds
to three-fourths Of an inch falling in
some places. Flax will yield an aver
age crop and on the whole will come
nearly up to the ordinary. Barley and
oats will be poor especially oats, which
will be nearly total failure. Wheat
in most places will be a total failure,
but some fields will go ten or twelve
bushels, though very badly spotted.
It is safe to predict that the average
farmer will get his seed back and
enough feed to keep his stock through
the winter. Farmers are now busy
planting corn for fodder and are also
sowing millet. The late rain will be OF
great benefit to wild hay. Many wheat
fields are now being plowed under.
Good farming has paid this year.
Some places on one side of a road
wheat will yield ten bushels. where well
cared for, while the opposite side of the
line the crop is an absolute failure.

Injured by Explosion.

Donnybrook Tribune: Last Thurs
day while drilling well On the farm OF
Fred schwede, south of town, r. l.
McMann was badly injured by a pre-
mature explosion OF dynamite. It seems
that the explosive had been lowered
into well for the purpose Of shooting
out rock that was interfering with
the drilling and when part way down
1t stuck. Thinking it was further
down than 1t was, Mr.. McMann at
tempted to force 1t further and the dy-
Mantle, which was close to the surface,
exploded, blowing pebbles and earth in
Mr.. McMann's face with strong force
Mr.. McMann Is to be congratulated
upon the fact that although he was
badly bruised, he did not lose his sight
or receive any permanent injury.

find FIREMAN
DEAD IN swamp
RRUIsE ON FACE BUT MAY HAVE
DRoWNED-LEAVEs WIFE
AND FAMILY.

Hibbing, July Knight workmen at
the Hull Rust mine discovered the body
Of Neis Moline at AIS O'Clock this
morning in a swamp that extends along
the railroad. He spent last evening in
this village, leaving for his boarding
house about 10 o'clock, stopping to chat
with fellow workers at the mine and
was apparently in the best OF spirits.
He was not under the influence of
LIQUOR and it is supposed that while
walking along the track, in stepping
aside to allow an ore train to pass,
he lost his balance and fell down the
embankment, which is quite steep
along the point where his body was
found. Only three feet Of water is in
the swamp and it is possible that when
he fell into the pond, he struck q rail-
road tie that was found floating near
him. The position Of the body was
such as to make It appear he must
have been stunned as his feet were not
submerged, his head being under the
surface and a bruise on the left cheek
bears out the theory that he came in
violent contact with an object that de-
prived him of consciousness.
He was employed as stationary fire.

Gronna and Marshall Confer.
Ugly rumors concerning the sena-
torial situation were doubtless respon-
sible for a conference which took
place in Grand Forks this week be-
tween A. ]. Gronna of Nelson county,
the successful insurgent candidate for
the short term In the senate, and
Thomas E. Marshall of Dickey coun-
ty, the insurgent candidate defeated
by Senator McCumber. n
Democratic newspapers of the state
have been publishing charges to the
effect that Gronna had made a deal
with the stalwarts whereby he was to
throw. certain of his strength to Nc
Cumber against Marshall, and receiver
in return stalwart votes which would
otherwise have been cast for Engerud.
This conference in .4rand Forks, 1t isl
believed, was for the purpose of dis
cussing this matter. Very little Gre |
dence is given by leading insurgents
to this story. They, however are en-
tirely in the dark as to the purpose of

He went to New England and bought
a quantity of strychnine, representing
that he wanted the poison to kill go
