One day last winter. while motoring
about in the new country, Mrs. Van
Duyne visited Los Angeles. She was
driving her car along one Of the ave-

ley crossing at an angle halted her.
The motorman, capped and coated
In blue, turned his head in her direc-
ton. She recognized him at once.
The motorman was her long-missing
brother.
As soon as possible she arranged
to meet him. 1t was a reunion with
out formality.
And what lot of things there was
to tell-the death Of the good old faith
er just as he had rounded out his
eightieth year. and of how up to the
very last he had had only the kindest
thoughts for the absent son: Of the
will and the codicil thereto, which
safeguarded the one-third share; of
his own loyal wife and the daughters,
and of the marriage of one to as likely
a chap as there Is in the valley. and
of the new baby with eyes like its
mothers, and Just learning to toddle;
of the fire which had reduced tho old

The bride was Cora A. James. She
was divorced at Grand Forks last fall,
the court granting the decree in Sep

in September.

sistant general passenger agent OF

Big Relating Scandal
Has Been Uncarthed
TO HOLD FIELD
TRIAL FOR Dogs

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 20.-The
Grand Forks Kennel club will hold an
amateur field trial the last week in
August as result of action taken at
the meeting of the club last evening
There was good attendance at the
meeting last evening and business
matters in connection with the re-
cent bench show were closed UP. It
was voted unanimously to hold the
field trial under such rules as will be
formulated and made public by the
board of directors. This trial is to be
open for members only, but 1t is hoped
that the fact that the kennel club IS
branching out in its efforts will attract
many additional members. Every dog
entered in the field trial must be han
died by it's owner or another member
of the club. Professional handlers
are barred from competing. The en-
tries will close Aug. Is and a small
entry and starting fee will be charged
to defray expenses. Two stakes,
derby and all age, will be run and
silver loving cups will be offered for
prizes.
The reports OF the club covering the
recent bench show indicated that the
show was run at a financial loss. but
the members of the club are not de-
tered by this fact. The management
of the Improvement building did not
charge for the room used for the show
and were given a vote of thanks last
evening by the club members for their
generosity.
The club members are enthusiastic
over the prospects offered by the field
trial for sport and pleasure. Since
the bench show the matter has been
talked UP considerable and the club
members decided that there was no
good reason why Grand Forks should
have such an event. The fact that
professionals are barred promises to
add to the interest.
