buildings and stock arc insured
Tho company started in 1883 with

tall and severely gowned in some rich,
glistening stun which fell away sheer
ly from her splendid bare shoulders.
She turned and he found himself look
ing into pair Of clear, blue-gray eyes,
frank enough and yet In their very
frankness possessing an alluring, In
defnable suDtlety. He would not
have called her pretty, yet her smile,
slight as 1t was, was singularly charm
ing, and there radiated from her a
something personality, perhaps -
which held his glance He bowed low,
and closed the door.
Il am at your service, Madam" he
said in a tone of deep respect. please
pardon my delay in coming to you"
1T is unfortunate that didn't write
the first note" she apologized gra-
ciously. 1T would at least have saved
little time, You have the card?"
He produced 1t silently, crest down,
and handed 1t to her. She struck a
match, lighted the card, and 1t crum-
bed up in her gloved hand. The last
tiny scrap found refuge In a silver
tray, where she watched it burn to
lshes, then she turned to the ambassa-
dor with q brilliant smile. He was
still standing.
"The dinner isn't over YETI" she
inquired
mo, Madam, not for another hour,
perhaps
"Then there's no harm done" she
went on lightly "The dinner isn't OF
any consequence, but / should like
very much to attend the ball after
ward, Can you arrange It for me?
81 don't know just how would pro-

But surely you can arrange 1t some
way?" she interrupted demurely'
"The highest diplomatic representa-
tive Of a great nation should not find
1t difficult to arrange so simple a mat

Pardon me for suggesting It, Mad

She regarded him with an enigmat'

There's nothing dearer to woman's

She nodded. He folded the note, re.

it to her with another deep bow. She

"oh, yes, my name" she interrupted
gaily. why, Count, you embarrass

responded the count. II should have

She meditated a moment.

THAT will do very nicely, don't you
think?'
Very nicely, Miss Thorne," and tho
ambassador bowed again, please ex-
cuse me a moment. and I'll give my
secretary instructions how to proceed.
There will be a delay o. few min
utes."
He opened the door and went out.
For a minute or more Miss Thorne sat
perfectly STILL gazing at the blank
wooden panels, then she rose and
went to the window again, In the dis

It all, and suddenly stretched out her
arms with an all.enveloping gesture.
She stood so for a minute, then they
fell beside her, and she was motion
less.
Count di Rosinl entered.
Everything is arranged, Miss

DIR. Lewis to Retire.

DR.. Lewis sold his practice and
Office fixtures to DR.. Lawrance Kaase
last week, DR.. Lewis having decided
to quit and take a rest. This is
much regretted by the many friends
the doctor has been accustomed to
administer to for many years past,
but as it is his own wish to retire
we can not do anything but abide
by his decision. DR.. Lewis has
done many deeds of kindness during
his years of practice here which will
live forever in our hearts, and no
mans leaving Ridgeway could cause
the pang of sorrow to be felt in
more hearts. His kind and gentle
disposition has won for him a place
in the hearts of all to whom he adj
ministered in his professional life.
The doctor is undecided where he
will locate. He probably will not
leave here for several months, and
wherever he may choose to go the
people of Ridgeway and vicinity will
wish him the best that this life af-
fords.
Dr. Kaasa was born near Ridge
way, and is a graduate of our state
university. He has had five months
practice at Story City and his work
has been reported as highly salts
factory. We trust and feel confident
that he will prove himself to be a
successful practitioner. DR.. Kaasa
will commence his new duties March
