the other party to the rendezvous was ac-

and lame, but whose nose was as keen as ever
WAVERTON reached the path nearly
two hundred yards from the boat
house, and the slow, firm tread of his ap-
preaching footsteps could be heard thence
forth in that silent air. He was smoking
and Bob walked sOberly by his side, disdain-
ing the furry Of frightened water fowl or the
quick plunge of a rat diving for safety. The
two were abreast of the boathouse, when
Doris emerged from its shadows Instantly
the dog barked, and his fur bristled on neck
and spine; but his quick intelligence told
him that this was no stranger. When he
discovered his Mistress identity, he whined
with delight, and capered stiffly up the few
steps of the house to fawn on her.
She quoted Bob with an affectionate
hand; but her eyes were fixed on her hus-
band, who stood in the path as though rooted
to it.
"Claude!" she said, and her voice was
tremulous with excitement. Claude, YOU
must forgive me; but
Then she stopped, overwhelmed and dis
traught; for her husband, whose amazement
and distress she interpreted as alarm, gasped
brokenly, "You! Mrs. Waverton! Why are
you here?'
She stepped out into the open, and they
stood face to face, while the dog frisked be-
tween them. They were near enough to see
each other plainly in the dusk; though the

tween two devoted sisters Doris had taken
her courage in both hands and hied her to
Lake Champlain. And now here she was, a
trespasser on her husbands estate, woman
eagerly scanning the distant house and
grounds for the appearance of the man she
wished to drag out of the pit he had digged
for hinlseft
She fancied she saw figure emerging
from one of the drawing room windows,
which were of the French type and opened
straight out on grass lawn. Breathing
prayer for guidance in her task, she ran the
few intervening yards to the boathouse, and
hid in its deep veranda; for, on the park
side, the building served as a summerhouse
and dressing shed for polo players or base
ball teams.
She was so intent on attaining her object
to remain unseen till Waverton was so
near that he could not avoid her without
literally running away-that she had no
knowledge of the sinister form that crept out
of the wood close to the waters edge, and
crawled on hands and knees among the tall
reeds and dwarf willows until it was lying at
full length close to the side rail of the veranda
Joe Brett, idler and village scapegrace,
realized that Mrs Waverton was waiting for
someone. If so, it might be to his advantage
if he could discover the object of this clan
destine meeting; for by such means a poor
man might put himself in the way of earning
a dollar or two without undue exertion.
Fearful of being seen against the luminous
background of the lake, he nestled close to

left would bring her to the boathouse, while
the same path to the right crossed another
shooting alley some two hundred yards far
ther on.
In the cleaning of that midsummer night
Doris Waverton could see the water shining
like a sheet of FURNISHED silver above the
fringe of willows. She stepped out smartly,
and gave no heed to the boiling of white
tailed rabbits or the rustling of birds, Much
to her relief, she saw no one during that
traverse of the wood But it did not follow
that because she did not see she was there
fore unseen.
AS she turned into the narrow path bor
dering the lake man rose from the wood S
underground, amid which he had crouched
when her dainty figure appeared in the alley.

And with that he followed his quarry,

woodland and the wild.

asked to arrest the man and they did
but he could not give a proper ac-

until his morning when he was sent

guests of President and Mrs. Kings
ford of the state normal-industrial
school. Judge Sharp says the journey
vas a delightful one going and coming
and on the whole there was no com
plant to make of the roads. Going
they went via Lisbon and returning
they came back'via Wahpeton, yester-
day, leaving Glendale at noon, reach
ing Moorhead about 1920 last night
and taking supper at W~ahpeton. The
visitors were charmed with their Wis
it. Mr.. and Mrs. Kingsford are hous-
ed in a beautiful residence with every
modern convenience n charming
surroundings. The school buildings
and equipment were a surprise, every
thing of the best and so complete.
Judge Sharp added that the crops In
the parts Of North Dakota traversed
were as fine as he ever saw and he
thinks the people of the state have no
idea Of their immensely. Seas of grain
shocks at every turn of the eye. An
other surprise were the fields Of orr
every large farm had from eighty
acres to a quarter section of corn and
on small farms there were fields in
proportion. There seemed to be no
concern as to maturity, unless frost
comes unusually early.

CATRRO is FOR TAFT
Republican Chosen at
March Primaries as Presidential
Elector VIII support Taft.

F. w. Cathro of Bottineau, one of
the we'll known progressive republi-
cans of the state who was chosen at
the March primaries, has publicly an
nounced his intention of supporting
President Taft in the approaching cam
paign and voting for him in November
If he is elected as one of the electors.
Mr.. Cathro, in a letter setting forth
his reasons for his decision, states he
feels that all party contentious n
difficulties should better be fought out
within party lines and apparently dis
approves of the disruption of the re-
publican party to serve those who may
be disgruntled. His letter follows:
II am of the opinion that the prin-
ciples ad coated by the progressive
wing of the republican party can be
best subserved by remaining in the
party and by lighting our battles with
won in the North Dakota presidential
primaries but lost at the Chicago con-
yention and I conceive 1T to be h part
of wisdom to accede to the decision Of
that convention. There are a vast
number of republican voters in North
Dakota who have been ~contending for
the same principles in republican poll
tics thai I have been contending for,
and who still wish to remain in the
republican party irrespective of a
temporary defeat at the Chicago con-
Vention, and l think I can best sub
serve their interests by voting, if elect
ed, for the nominee of that convention.
1 therefore state that it is my inten-
ton to vote for Mr.. Taft If / am elected
a presidential e~lector."
