As he read the account of the absO-
lutte failure Of Elsie's father and his
business associates, Philip made a
great resolve. He would 60 back to
Hillcrest on the first train, and be-
fore Elsie had seen morning paper
would ask her to be his wife,
His pride would not allow him to
tell her of his love last night; but now,
when he knew of her fathers ruin, he
would not let her pride prompt her to
refuse his offer. He left the train at
the first stop, telephoned the bank
(which employed him, got the details of
the failure from fellow-clerk to make
sure there was no mistake, and board
ed a train for Hillcrest.
He found Elsie in the breakfast
room, gayly entertaining her guests
with stories of her childhood days on
q western ranch.
why, Philip, you didn't go. or you
missed your train; how Jolly to have
you with US another day." she ex-
claimed as he entered the room. Beg
ging word with her alone as soon as
he could, he took her again to the rose
bower, and there told her Of his love
and begged her to marry him.
But, Philip, couldn't think Of it.
There Is such a difference in our posi-
tions. l, millionaire's daughter, and
you only a bank clerk! Why, you
couldn't provide me with evening slip
pers, not to mention bread and butter.
No, certainly not, Philip. l cannot
marry YOU
For q moment Philip was stunned
Then anger blazed up in him, com.
pletely drowning his finer feelings, for
hs knew the girl cared for him.
Quietly taking the paper from his
pocket, he pointed to the front page
With staring headlines Of her fathers
ruin.
You would show me that now.
Philip" and there was Z look of pity
and contempt in her eyes. Il knew all
about 1t yesterday afternoon. Father
tslephoned me as soon as he was sure
Of 1t himself You are almost q day
too late with your magnanimous offer
Of marriage"
but, ElsiO, tnOugnC-
oh, yes, you thought all along just
what I have told you. You allowed
your foolish pride to come flrst before
your love for me or mine for you. II
your love had been strong and brave
and true, you would have told me Of 1t
yesterday-last night when we sat
here in the moonlight
"The millionaire's daughter would
have been proud Of the love of the
bank clerk, but the penniless girl can
not let herself be burden to man
already consumed with false and fool
lsh pride. Goodby, Philip; and this
time It Is, indeed, 'goodby.'"
AS she had done the night before,
she left him standing beneath the
roses, while the wind rustlsd IN
through the leaves.

A potato warehouse ought to paw in Minot Every
year more OF these tubers are grown than the year
previous and there should be good safe place
to store them. Last winter many thousands of bus.
hels OF potatoes were frozen in the pits and in the
farmers cellars good potato warehouse built in
the right manner would this loss and give
someone an opportunity to clean up nice lot of
money.

The Sel6shness
Of Pride

They sat in rose bower on a quaint
rustic bench. The silver fight Of full
moon filtered through the leafy Gov
ering Of the secluded nook, making
fantastic patches Of light that danced
In grotesQue disorder when the soft
summer breeze stirred the leaves over
head ~
Both Elsie Poole and her companion,
Philip Matthews, were Ill at ease.
Elsie nervously toyed with her fan,
and the toe of her satin slipper peep
ing out from beneath her chiffon gown,
tapped restlessly on the closely clipped
grass underfoot. $780,.
Philip, too, was perturbed: He had
been deeply in love with his fair COM
panion for many weeks, and now, a.
he gazed into her limpid eyes and con-
templated the perfect FORM the ex-
quisite beauty of her face, the velvet
softness of her skin, it was almost
more than he could do to restrain the
mad words of love which struggled for
utterance.
But he dared not tell her of his pas
sion.
What right had he, a clerk on a
small salary. to love the daughter of
4 wealthy banker?
II am sorry you must 60 back to
town tomorrow, Philip. Wouldn't it
be jolly if you could remain up here in
the hills another week? Elsie said,
just to bring the conversation around
to personal topics.
THANK you, Elsie, you don't know
how hate to leave here-you. shall
miss all this-but it will live long in
my memory"
always be a welcome for you in our
home. Now we must join the others"
Let us say 'goodby' here, under
the roses"
"Goodby?"
Eyes; you know leave at in the
morning l cannot expect you to dis
turb your rest at such an early hour"
"Goodby, Philip. wish-1-oh,
we'll, good night and goodby!"
Silently he bent over her hand and
pressed his burning lips to it's soft
surface
= The next moment she was gone, and
the light of the world had fed with
her.
On the train the next morning Philip
bought a paper, and the first thing
that met his eye as he glanced over
the headlines was:

BILL NYE CONDEMNS LIARS

This is the way Bill Nye took shot at one of
his contemporaries in the good old days of early
Nebraska: I'VE have nothing more to saw of the
sweetwater Gazette. Aside from the fact that he
is squnteyed consumptve liar, with breath
like a buzzard and a record like convict, we don't
know anything about him. He means we'll enough
and if he can evade the vigilance committee and
the penitentiary for a few years, there is a
chance for him to end his life in natural way II
he doesn't tell the truth little more pentifully
however, the Green River people will rise as one
man and churn him up till there won't be anything
left of him but pair of suspenders and wart.

IN most cities, and Minot is exception pc
MUM is placed on unkempt lawns, dirty back yards
and implanted houses. The man who keeps his
home up in good shape, always has to pay higher
taxes than the fellow who doesn't. Wouldn't it be
good idea to adopt the opposite rule? That would
tie one way of encouraging property owners to
clean UP their premises.

Negro Accidentally Killed.

Washington, N. c., April 15.-Spe-
cial.-Near Cherry Run bridge, this
county, late yesterday evening, Ar
nick Blount fifteen-year-old colored
boy, and William Bryant, also col
ored, and about the same age, were
playing with a pistol, when Bryant
tried to take same from Blount and
in the scuffle it was discharged, the
ball entering the right eye of Blount,
death resulting instantly.
DR.. Nicholson, the county coroner,
went to the scene and viewed the
body, but deemed an inquest unneces-
say. Bryant was brought here and
locked in Jail pending a hearing in
the recorders court. The shooting
is believed to have been accidental,
but there are rumors that it was not
entirely, so same will be fully inves-
tigated.

SIDNA ALLEN SEEN?
Supposed Outlaw, Doubtless a Tramp,
Raises COmmOtion at Hickory.

A special from Hickory, N. c., to
Mondays Charlotte Observer says:
The news was flashed to town yes
terday by telephone that Sidna Allen
had been seen in the Saint Timothy
section, two miles from Conover.
The report was that he went to the
home of Rev. F. K. Roof and asked
Mrs. Roof for something to eat. He
was given food and left, going in the
direction of Catawba Springs. Mrs.
Roof at once 'phoned to the chief of
police here who summoned posse of
men and with automobiles started on
the hunt of the noted outlaw. On
arriving near the scene they were
met by some boys who told them that
they had seen this man and talked to
him and that he had told them that
he had saved ten miles by going
straight across the mountain. This
further confirmed their belief that it
was Allen. The search was continued
until late at night, when the party,
tired and wornout, returned to town,
saying that they believed that the
supposed Allen must have been
tramp and that he had caught pass
ing freight train for parts unknown.
