CHAPTER u.
BY Special Dispatch.

In all eras and all climes woman Of
great genius or beauty has done what she
chose.-Ouida.
Nicholas" said Calhoun, turning
to me suddenly, but with his invari-
able kindness of tone, "oblige me to-
night. l have written a message here.
You will see the address"
Il have unavoidably heard this
lady's name," l hesitated.
"You will find the lady's name above
the seal. Take her this message from
me. Yes, your errand is to bring the
least known and most talked of WON
an in Washington, alone, unattended
save by yourself, to gentleman's
apartments, to his house, at time
past the hour of midnight! That gen.
tleman is myself! You must not take
any answer in the negative"
AS l sat dumbly, holding this sealed
document in my hand, he turned to DR.
Ward, with nod toward myself.
Il choose my young aide, Mr.. Trist
here, for good reasons. He is just
back from six months in the wilder
ness, and may be shy; but once he
had way with women, so they tell
me-and you know, in approaching
the question ad feminam we operate
per hominem.'
Dr. Ward took snuff with violence
as he regarded me critically
II do not doubt the young mans sin
cerity and faithfulness," said he. 81
was only questioning one thing"
"Yes?"
His age"
Calhoun rubbed his chin. "Nicho.
las" he said, you heard me. l have
no wish to cucumber you with useless
instructions. Your errand is, before
you. Very much depends upon it, DIS
you have heard. All can say is, keep
your head, keep your feet, and keep
your hearth"
The two older men both turned
now, and smiled at me in manner
not wholly to my liking. Neither was
this errand to my liking.
1t was true, I was hardly arrived
home after many months in the west;
but had certain plans of my own for
that very night, and although as yet
had made no definite engagement with
my fiancee, Miss Elizabeth Churchill
of Elmburst farm, for meeting her at
the great ball this night, such GER
tainly was my desire and my inten-
tion. Why, had scarce seen Eliza
beth twice in the last year.
"He might be older" said Calhoun
at length, speaking Of me as though
were not present And it's hard
game to play, if once my lady Helen
takes it into her merry head to make
it so for him. But if sent one shorter
of stature and uglier of visage and
with less art in approaching crino-
line-why, perhaps he would get no
farther than her door. No; he will
serve-he must serve!"
He arose now, and bowed to us
both, even as l rose and turned for
my cloak to shield me from the raw
drizzle which then was falling in the
streets.
So this, then, was my errand. My
mind still tingled at it's unwelcome
quality. DR.. Ward guessed something
of my mental dissatisfaction.
Never mind, Nicholas" said he, as
we parted at the street corner, where
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1910-04-28

he climbed into the rickety Carrie ge
which his cOlored driver held await
ing him. Never mind. / don't my
self quite know what Calhoun wants;
but he would not ask of you anything
personally improper. Do his errand,
then. 1t is part of your work In any
case and l thought l saw him grin
in the dim light you may have a
night which you will remember"
There proved to be truth in what he
said

SYMPATHY

Deep sympathy is felt for Mr.. w. c.
Roscoe and family in their bereavement,
the death of the beloved wife and moth
er, Mrs. Allie Fleming Roscie, which
occurred in this city Wednesday morn
ing after a lingering illness. Mrs. Ros-
coe was woman devoted in all the re-
lations Of life, fulfilling her mission in
the home and in the church with loving
fidelity. She leaves large family to
mourn her loss. Her daughters, Mrs.
W. R Sapp, Mrs. Fleming Scruggs,
Mrs. B. S. Schneider, Lillian Roscoe
and sons, Thomas, Boykin, Robert and
Leonard Roscoe, a devoted husband and
many sweet young grandchildren, who
will miss her gentle influence.
The remains were conveyed to
Haughton and from thece to the old
burying ground at Fillmore.

THE BROKEN WHEEL.

Mrs. Florence Land Mays clever
novel, The Broken Wheel, continues to
win golden opinions from literary crit
les. The press of San Francisco, the
scene. .of the story, gives it unqualified
praise, and the Portland Advertiser,
conservative in its estimate of people
and things, speaks Of the Broken Wheel
as an intensely interesting story, one
of the most interesting of the season. "
Mrs. May has inherited talent. Com
bining her mothers poetic temperament
with the philosophy and logic of her
fathers highly trained legal mind, we
have in her rare product, the power to
understand and grasp the corrupt politi-
cal situation of stricken city, and the
power to touch the dark picture with
sweetness and light. Mrs. May has a
book of poems in press, and its early
appearance IS eagerly looked for by
her friends and admirers. Mrs. May S
reputation as a writer of ability is al
ready established. As her first novel has
stood the crucial test, we may look for
other stories from her pen that will
command admiration at once.

PERSONAL. MENTION.

Mrs James Singleton Swann's visit
to Harrodsburg, KY, where she placed
her neice Mamie Johnson at school has
been a delightful one, as the guest of
Col. and Mrs, Thomas Smith of Beau
mont College, noted educators whose
school for girls gives the refined type of
Southern womanhood. From Harrods-
burg Mrs. Swami visited Louisville and
attended the State convention of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy
Being a representative member of the
Louisiana Division U. D. G., many
courtesies were extended her. While in
Louisville Mrs. Swami saw the great
horse show and Alfred Vanderbilt's fine
horses. Mr.. Vanderbilt was again win
ner of the challenge cup. These were
points of great interest to a Louisiana
woman who knows and appreciates fine
horses and is herself champion win
ner in many lines of field and farm ac-
tivities.

The return of Mr. H. c. Rogers and

their charming daughters, Misses Julia

enjoyment of that pleasant neighbour
hood. Our friends are gladly welcomed

THE FIFTEEN AMENDMENTS
CONTINUED from first page)

joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution of the State of
Louisiana, amending Article 10 of the
Constitution of 1893, SO as to authorize
the Board of Liquidation to issue new
bonds to retire or refund the State
bonded Indebtedness due Jan. I, 1914
This bonded Indebtedness exceeds
eleven million of dollars. Governor
Heard and Governor Blanchard have
suggested how this claim against the
State could be met by retiring a speci-
fed amount of bonds each year, but this
indebtedness of the State has steadily
increased notwithstanding the election
pledge of Governor Sanders that it
would be liquidated during his term of
Office The proposition is to extinguish
this old debt by the issue and sale of
new bonds bearing not more than a per
cent interest per annum for a term of
fifty years, and which are to be sold or
exchanged at par for the old bonds.
Better give the Board of Liquidation
the opportunity to issue new bonds by
retiring the old ones. The State could
not be much worsted than it now is, and
may reap some slight benefit from the
transaction.

PURE FOOD.

Woman's work for pure food can not
be over estimated and should enlist at
least every householder in the land. The
louisiana Federation of Womans Clubs
is doing active work in this line and be-
gan by appointing capable chairman,
Mrs. A. B. Ives president of the Shreve-
port Mothers Union Mrs. Ives has Wis
tied every shop in the city where food is
sold and distributed, circulars for the
purpose of securing interest and CO.
operation Among the requests are the
following items SO vital in their import
ance that they need no explanation
1. Meat, fish, lard and other foods must
not be exposed in open doors or win
DAVIS. 2 Refrigerators must be kept
clean and free from offensive odors. 3.
Shops must be closely screened. 4
Floors must have clean sawdust fresh
and free from blood and other deteteri-
Gus matter. Bakeries of which so much
complaint has been made, are requested
to observe the following Trays, cloths,
troughs must be kept clean and washed
Immediately after using. Personal clean
illness must be exacted of employers
Smoking and expectorating must BE-
prohibited and signs to that effect ex-
posed Pure food means good health.
Violation of the above is a menace to
good health.

scheme is justified in law; therefore the
bare and simple consideration Of the
suggested DETECTION of the Panama Ex-
position tax is sufficient to brand if not
damn the whole scheme with distr,1st.
Let no voter be misled or deceived
nor yield to appeals for progress. In
no sense of self-glorifcation the Cau-
casian, in pointing to its record of more
than twenty years, can say that it has
always been progressive, but uspever
hesitated, when necessary, to Object 10
schemes apparently progressive but
which were freighted with burdens that
must be carried by the people
