Late Events

Mr.. and Mrs. f. A. Wickham Of the
Fargo branch Of the Studebaker cor
poration, went TO Minneapolis this
morning to attend the auto show.
One Of the most exclusive and en-
joyable parties of the season was that
given in Prizes hall last evening by
the young men of the Sphynx Dancing
club. The guest list included the elite
of Fargo's college and young society
circles and the young hosts received
many compliments for their delightful
evening. One of the popular city or
cnestras played and the dance pro-
gramme was a varied and well ar
ranged one. This event was the sec
ond of the series.

Finley in Jail.

Pete Malvey OF the sheriff's Office
has returned from Detroit, Mich, with
M. M. Finley in custody. The prisoner
was arrested at the instance Of the
state Insurance department and he viii
be charged with obtaining money un-
der false pretences. Finley will prob
ably be taken to FELTON, in this county
as the several complaining witnesses
live at and near hat village. Finley
had a more OF less meteoric experience
at Hawley as a ''spotter'' and is alleg-
ed to have left police authorities in
the lurch as a witness, at least he is
o persona grata at Moorhead police
headquarters.

Railroad News
IS G. N. HEADED
TO CARRINGTON?

Darlington Independent: Have the
Great Northern officials in mind the
tapping Of the new Fargo-Minot cut
off being constructed through this
county at Grace City and, Juanita
running a line to Darlington, lease
the Turtle Lake branch of the North
ern Pacific u of here, extend that
branch to a point on the Montana
state line m there connect with the
old main line of the Great Northern?
That is the latest rumor afioat. The
rumor a do 40 harm and is pleasing,
coming as it does just between the
longest spell ever known and the open
ing of the twenty eight sided fight for
the republican nomination for sheriff.
The present plans as outlined by
u informant include the building Of
a line from a point j east of Car
rington on the new Fargo-Minot cut
off, a distance of twenty miles, where
connection will be made with the Car
rlngton-Turtle Lake branch of the
Northern Pacific. An extension Will
be built west from Turtle Lake to a
point on the main line near the state
boundary, probably at Mondak.
A lease or purchase Of this line is
being considered and in either event,
our informant says, the line will be
relaid with heavy steel and double
tracked in order to handle the fast
passenger traffic to be diverted over
this line which will shorten the route
of the Great Northern to the coast
by over 100 miles and four hours run
ming time.
1t will also give service to a num-
Der of counties west of the Missouri
river, such as Mercer, Dunn and Nc
Kenzie counties. 1t will benefit by
passing through the Fort Berthold
reservation which was thrown open
to settlement last year.

CHAPTER v-contInued.


"Tiens! We will play again for an
other bottle" he announced with a bit
of swagger. He was conscious Of a
right to spend silver In treating his
friends, with that fat purse in his
pocket.

drunk enough. However, II you feel
sensitive at taking the small sum OF
money at my hands-lt Is a good
game-La rams-let us play for the
franc which the bottle would cost. Eth
bieni"
Again they played, this time doub-
ling the amount. and again Francois
gained, and again and again, till he
felt ashamed in carrying away all this
money of a new acquaintance. and at
the same time a cock-sureness that so
lucky q devil as Beaupre might well
lose a little and stop at the right
amount. The excitement of cards and
excitement of wine met in a heady mix
ture; Duplessis drank little, though
Francois urged 1t on him. The luck be-
gan to change; now and then the
stranger won, now and then Beaupre,
yet more often now the stranger, till
at length Francois was playing not
with the desire to lose, but with a hope
to gain back something at least of the
considerable sum which he had lost.
Before this he had gone into his peck
ct and brought out that honorable nine
hundred francs, and had thrown one
louis dor after another on the black
table, and lost n after another. Yet
his confidence was still stronghold
would turn-this was his lucky day.
And now he would not regret carrying
away the strangers money. He began
to feel a fierce eagerness to get the
better OF this antagonist became so
formidable. And a horrible nervous
ness was creeping over him at the dim
vision of a thought-a thought kept
resolutely on the confines of his con-
sciousness, yet persistently pushing
forward-the thought that 1t might be
that he could not win the money back.
'Double!" he shouted promptly as
he lost again.
And he lost again. The nine hun
dred francs were gone; he gave a note
now, on his stock, and again he lost.
A deathly sickening sensation had
gripped him and was holding him.
I'm silence, with a crowd of silent
men, who in some way had come to
know what was happening, standing
about them, the two played the last
round. And Francois lost.
in silence he signed the note which
rave to the stranger his house and
furniture and land. all that he had In
the world.
