Mrs. Jeffries, how do you know

Il know it," she said, confidently.
YES" persisted the Judge, but how
do you know it?"
Annie looked steadily at him. and
then she said solemnly:

tell you how l know 1t, that's all!
Howard didn't do it. know he

The lawyer smiled.
That's very fair sample of fem

We'll, it's all have" she retored,
with toss of her head. And it's a
mighty comfort, too. because when
you know a thing you know it and it
makes you happy"
Judge Brewster laughed outright.
Feminine deduction!" he cried.
Think a thing, believe it, and then
you know it," Looking up at her, he
asked:
Haven't you any relatives to whom
you can go?"
She shook her head.

CHAPTER 'XV.-Continued.

You're going on the stage?"
She nodded.
1--WE had a very big offer"
The judge leaned forward, and in
low voice, so that no one in the outer
office might hear, he said:
well, I'll give you twice as much
If you refuse the engagement"
She laughed ironically.
"You mean that my father-in-law
will give it," she said. lightly Then
she went on:
You know it's no use your asking

The lawyer shook his head

defiantly.
Judge Brewster could not refrain
from smiling. This young woman
had actually enveigled him into an
argument. Almost mockingly, he said:

yes" she said simply.
But l don't argue criminal cases."
That's just it," she exclaimed,
eagerly; my husband is not a Grim

she exclaimed. Hes the greatest

The Judge shifted uneasily on his
chair. He didn't like this forceful.
persistent young woman. Almost
fretfully. he said:
You always say that. Upon my
word. shall begin to believe it soon"
Il shall say 1t again." she exclaimed.
"and again every time l see you"
The lawyer turned round. There
was a comic look Of despair In his
face which would have amused his
visitor had her errand not been so
serious.
How often do you intend that shall

TO FRAME STATEMENT.

Grand Forks, N. ID, Dec. 21.-That
North Dakota, if it goes at all.
should go in full dress and have q seat
in the front row, is the belief of mem
hers of the Panama exposition COM
mission as affecting the proposition ,f
making an exhibit at the SaraTrancis-
co show in 1915.
Three members Of the commission.
e. ID. Lord of Park River, Joe Kelly
of Devils Lake and John Bruegger OF
Williston, were IN the city today, hav-
ing held a brief conference on their
proposed recommendations to the
state legislature. Because two mems
bers OF the commission, Marion Ed
wards of Holette and Geo. e, Duis OF
this city could not attend the meet
ing, a second session has been called
to be held here Jan. 10, when the
full board win be present and when
the formal recommendation to the leg
islature will be drawn.
The exposition commission was ap-
pointed by the legislature two years
ago, being charged with the duty of
making investigation into the ques-
ton Of exhibiting at San Francisco.

statement of what would be needed in
the way OF appropriations to " the
cost.
Need About $4,000.
Members Of the commission who
We're here are divided as to the
amount of money that would be need
ed. To give a full display of the states
resources would require an a~ppropria~
tion Of at least $50, 900, in the opin-
ion Of n member of the commission
who fayors the erection of special
state building that would give the ex-
hlbit adequate space.
That North Dakota has a variety of
resources and so many things that
would be of intense interest AT the ex-
position to make the venture, proht-
able, is the consensus Of opinion
among the men named to Investigate
the situation. They believe that the
state viii derive great benefits from
the fact that many people will be ge-
ing west, and in travelling large num-
bers of them viii be coming through
