and son and Mrs. Charley Han
son came over from Fessenden
in a car Saturday to visit at
the Hans Hanson home a few
days.
At the business meeting held
at the Congregational church
Sunday evening the members
decided to retain the services of
Rev. j. C. N. Pengelly as pastor
Of the church. He has been
here three weeks and has al
ready taken an active interest
in his work. He will also have
charge of the work at lIenslel.
and Sanger for a time.
During the corn show at Gar
rison some one stole the lit
erature and pennaEts to- be used
in the anti-suffrage booth. Mrs.
Mrs. ELEPHANT of New Jersy,
who spoke i'll Bismarck, was
there to talk but when she lost
this package she became angry
and left. A number Of women
tried to get her to remain but
she would have nothing to do
with anyone. According to re-
ports, a second trial will be
made to get an anti-suffrage
speaker at Garrison.
III. IL. Aaker, candidate for
governor On the progressive re-
publican ticket, was here for a
short time Saturday morning and
gave a speech in front of Forbes
Drug Store. He has been cam
paigning since the first of Sep
TENDER for the progressive ticket
and will continue until Novem-
Der Bird. He is a good talker,
and although there are few pro-
gressives in the city, all enjoyed
his speech. From here he went
to Garrison to attend the Corn
Show.
The Corn Show at Garrison
last Friday and Saturday was a
big success. The attendance was
very good each day. The bust
ness men Of Garrison had the
show in charge and with L. T.
Stanley as manager their Sec
ond corn show was beyond ex-
pectations. Besides the splendid
exhibits some good speakers were
present who gave instructive
talks on subjects Of interest to
the farmer. Many Of the ex-
hibits from the corn show will
no doubt be taken to Bismarck
to the Exposition.
According to the report i'll the
Yucaipa, California, Record, Rev.
d. d. Mitchell will occupy the
pulpit in the Congregational
church at Yucaipa during the
following year. The record says:
Mr.. Mitchell has been in Yucaipa
for three weeks, and he has
made a host Of frineds during his
stay. He has visited every por-
ton of the valley, and, his de-
cision to stay in the Wiley was
the natural result Of his meeting
with the people here. Among the
members Of the congregation
many have taken a great liking
for the new minister, and it is
the general opinion that he will
prove to be not only popular, but
as we'll helpful in his work here.

1t approached tho hour Of noon be-
fore he gained the point where the
two trails joined and struck out across
the desert. And here be discovered
what he thought indisputablc inaica
ton that the fright Of Judith's horse
had persisted.
Abandoning Immediately all notion
of returning through the hills by the
ridge-trail, he turned and swung away
at the best pace he could spur from
his broncho. delivering himself into
the pitiless embrace OF that implaca-
bic wilderness of sun and sand.
At long intervals he would check
the broncho and, reeling in his saddle,
cndeavor to sweep the desert with his
binoculars.
And toward the middle of the after
noon he fancied that something re-
warded one such effort: something
for an instant swan athwart the field
of the glasses: something that seemed
to move like weary horse with q
human figure bound to its back.
But now the phenomena were dis.
ccrnible which had he been more des-
ert wise, would have made him pause
and think before he ventured farther
from those hills, already beyond
reach rs they were.
His first appreciated warning came
when the surface of the desert seemed
to lift and shake like the top of a
canvas tent in gale. At the same
time mighty gust of wind swept
athwart the waste, hot as a furnace

and horse, a sitting cloud of super
heated particles that stung the flesh
like a myriad needles. And then dark
ness fell. the twilight of i1ades. cop

visible beyond arms length. s-l.s
Blinded, half suffocated, unspeak-
ably dismayed and Dewildered, the
brcncho swung round, back to the
blast, and refused to bulge another
incn.
Himself more than half-dazed but
still bounded by his nightmare vision
of Judith, Alan dismounted to escape
being torn bodily from the saddle by
that hellish sand-blast, and Selling
the bride sought to draw the horse
on with him.
He wasted his strength in that en-
deayor: the animal baked, planted
it's hoofs deep in the sand, stilfened
it's legs and resisted with the stub
bornness of rock: then, of sudden.
icrked his head smartly, snapped the
bride from his grasp and flung away,
scuddng before the storm.
Pursuit was out of the question:

bearing two riders on its back.
Weary with the weight of its double
burden. it went slowly and passed so
near to Judith that she was able to
recognize the features of her sister

Be sure she made never q sign to
catch their attention.
Within the next succeeding hour

Not far from where he had rested

mortal enemy and as enc whose death
alone could properly requite the cruel
injury that had been done her father:
ana though the man himself had
laughed TO scorn her first involuntary
confession of that love for him which
now consumed her being with its in
satiable fires. she swallowed her
chagrin and followed him with the
solicitude of one whose love can recog-
nize no wrong in it's object. Through
all the remainder OF that day of terror
she was never far from his side.
With the meekness of the strong,
she made herself his shadow. And
she was now the stronger, for she had
had more than an hours rest beside
the waterhole, which he had missed

Sooner or later his strength must fail

she was content to bide her hour.
