for years. He had been sent by the
engineering firm employing him to
inspect the district in conjunction
with a new irrigation and railroad
project. He had arrived at the Dor
der town of Fffield one week pre-
vious. It was necessary for him to
make inquiries there before he pro-
secuted his journey. He had been di-
rected to Mr.. Treherne, the uncle of
Eloise, who was acquainted through
the entire section. He had found
him to be a former itinerant preach
er, but now living some miles from
town and engaged IN q small cooper
age business. He and his niece led
the truly simple life. Burt had be-
come their welcome guest; the days
had drifted on pleasantly He had
learned many things Of the district he
was to penetrate-and love.
Eloise was a pure, simple, beauti-
full flower of nature, her whole life
uncle. One evening, however, Burt
had a foretaste Of the people he was
destined to meet II he continued on
his journey. Another uncle of Eloise,
named John Rivers, accompanied by
one JEFF Wadhams, came down from
'the bad lands" Rivers was Voluble
in his demand that his niece should
spend part of her time at his home
over the border. Burt even surmised
that It was Jeff Wadhams who was
urging him to this. The eyes Of the
desperate told that he sought Eloise
as a life partner Very clearly Mr..
Treherne told his brother-in-law that
his demand would not be granted.

her in my rude way" he explained
''She would anguish and die in the
wild, lawless life among you people,"
Seemingly accepting this ultima
tum, the two visitors had departed. |

seen the lurking jeff, and Burt knew

At eleven o'clock that night Burt
was aroused from his sleep. It was
Treherne, who told him to get up and
dress. Then he led him out through
the house into the stout log work
shop over the river, where he did his
rude coOperage tasks.
Eloise was there. She stood at
one window of the place with a rife
in her hand, looking every inch an
intrepid daughter of the frontier. In
some amazement Bdrt glanced out.
Mounted on horses, armed, someof
them bearing torches, were twenty

A Near Fire

Last Sunday afternoon about
three o'clock Mr.. Hendrickson,
a neighbor of Thomas Mani's
discovered smoke issuing from
the latter's barn, and at once
turned in an alarm. The fire
boys were soon there with sever
al streams of water, but, as most
OF the fire was in the hay loft,
and hard to get at, it took quite
a while to quench the last blaze.
There was little in the barn of
any value excepting Mr.. Mani's
automobile, and this was taken
out soon after the fire was dis
covered.
The Mani boys and some
matches were the cause of the
fire The damage to the barn
will amount to perhaps $3.50 or
5000, which is covered by an in
surance policy in the Security

An Interesting Citizen

The Standard man found City
TreasurerG Gamm in a reminiscent
mood a few days ago while at his
home on business, and was great
ly interested in hearing of his
early life.
Mr.. Gamm learned the cabinet
makers trade in Germany, and
came to this country when about
21 years of age, arriving in New
York shortly after the assassina-
tion of President Lincoln. The
New York Herald of April Is,
1865, contained a good account of
the murder, and Mr.. Gamm Sc
cured copy, which he highly
prizes. In size it is the same as
the Standard but contains only
half as many pages. The type
used is very small and the press
work is poor in comparison with
the work on a modern news
paper.
Before coming west Mr.
Gamm held an important fore
manship in a factory at Roslyn,
Long Island. While living there
he became intimately acquainted
with one of Americas great
poets. VIM. Cullen Bryant, and
was often at his home. On one
of his visits there Mr.. Bryant
gave Mr.. Gamm mahogany
table leaf, which the latter used
in the construction Of beautiful
workbox. This was inlaid with
a variety of other rare woods,
and is piece of work to be
proud of. Other pieces of his
handiwork We're shown the
scribe which it would be hard to
beat.
Coming west, Mr.. Gamm was
for several years foreman in the
thresher department of the Min

core. After closing song by
the camps represented, a short
business meeting was held in
which it was voted to make this
convention a district convention,
and the officers elected for the
coming year are, Mrs. Mollie
Egan, president, Mrs. Wilson of
Milbank, vice-president, and Mrs.
Lima Bassett ofPeever, secretary.
The Peever Royal Neighbor
Camp extended an invitation to
the camps to hold the next dis
trict convention in Peever, the
first Tuesday in Oct, 1914. The
afternoon session closed with a
question box which tested the
members knowledge of the
kind and extend Of their lodge
work.
The evening session for mem
bers only, began 1T 7:3O and was
an exemplification of ritualistic
work and class adoption. A
class of three, composed of DR..
and Mrs. Williams, and Mrs.
Soulak, was initiated. At the
close Of the evening program a
sumptuous banquet was enjoyed
by all.

Marooned on an Island
Quartet of Sisseton Men Have
Unpleasant Experience.

Thos. Mani, M. r. Crockett,
w. j. Thomas and VIM. Swed-
lund had an experience last
week that they are not anxious
to repeat right away, nothing
less than being trapped on an
island, with no beds nor shelter
from the cold night wind.
They had autoed out to Roy
lake, in Marshall county, to get
ducks. Learning that game was
plenty at the island, they
crossed over on the ice, which
was none too thick, and spent
the rest of the day in jolly sport.
The day was warm and the ice
was weakened by the fierce
rays of the sun, so that to go
back was out of the question.
There was nothing to do but
wait until morning and let the
ice stiffen during the night.
Their overcoats had been left at
the club house, and all that
could be done was to build a fire
and wait. Wood was scarce, but
Mr.. Thomas got busy and gather
ed a quantity of dry branches of
trees, and thus the fire was kept
going. Mani's back got cold, so
he heated some stones and, like
Jacob of old, lay down upon
his hard bed, and had visions of
his warm bed at home. They all
gpt hungry, and towards morn
ing, RobinsQn Crusoe Crockett,
aided BY his man Friday Thomas,
managed to get one big duck
dressed and roasted, and it is re.
ported that these men never be-
ate anything that tasted half
as good. With the coming of the
morn they made their escape,
and were mighty glad to get
home. The above is the story
as sent to the Standard by grape
vine special, and is supposed to
be reliable in every particular.
