room where it was draped and cher

ardent devotion to. a lost ideal.
There began social rivalry with
Ball now on the part of Captain
Boyce. He emulated the society life
of the Balls. They had a piano. He
Immediately purchased one, too.
Boyce had lost his left arm in the
war. Ball had lost his right arm.

"We1, he's learned to play March

say he did 1t splendidly at the Grand
Army Hall last night"
''That 500" muttered the old war
veteran. Then Pm going. to learn to
play Dixie with my left hand"
This he did. Whenever he passed
the Boyce homestead and caught the
echoes Of Balls favorite tune, he hur-
T1ed home, opened wide the windows
and pounded out Dixie till the well
kin rang.
One day Edgar Ball came home
from distant college. At a social
gathering Eunice Boyce met the
young man. Later he did her some
service in finding for her her pet can
airy that had escaped from its cage.
They became more than friends in oc-
casional meetings on the street and
later delightful desultory rankings
through the beautiful woods sur
rounding the little village.
Captain Boyce stormed angriIy to
his wife when he learned of the at
tachment. He said noJning to his
daughter. however.

'fNo, I don't" insisted the captain
stubbornly. @That Ball hates me and I
is probably demeaning me to the
neighbors whenever he can.
A few days later the BOyces whirled
away in an automobile to inspect a.
house in neighboring town. No one 7

'Fire!" Suddenly rang out behind
him and man rushed by him and
dashed into the yard Of his enemy.
The front, upper part of the struc-
ture was smoking. Suddenly one end
burst into flames. Edgar Ball came
up at that moment.
Hurry for the fire department,
ordered his father, and he himself
hurried to the front door of the inn
periled house, broke in the door and
rushed up the stairs.
He had heard all about the treas
ured flag of his neighbor and where
it was kept. A thought heroic had
come into his mind. He dashed into a
room where it was festoOned on the
wall, almost overcome by. smoke and
the flames.
Gently he removed it, carefully he
carried it to his own home and re-
turned to the FIRE to help in saving
the greater part Of the building.
The Boyce family came home to
find a part Of the house made habit

Wolfe about it and he can testify that
it has been done, but "just how" it
is done is what he would like to know.
The four wagons of Indians who pass

to do it. In one wagon there was a
large brown woman who asked "Doc"

gave her a dime, which she promised

that he was fifty cents poorer than

day was rather warm and the "doc-

SURREY NEWS. Q

The little town of Surrey has gone
the past week. The Minot Nursery
company has planted a large number
Of trees for the school board and var
ious other parties in town. Three
rows of poplar and willow trees have
been planted on three sides Of the
school ground and one row of poplars
in front. Messrs. Reiff, Chambers,
Dierdorf Smoker and Yoder also had
more trees planted on their lots. This
is a commendable thing to do and the
appearance of our little burg should be
greatly improved in the course of a
few years. ...s
Mr.. Dix is devoting his spare time
evenings to decorating lawns and
white washing North Dakota stones.
But the effect is very pleasing, as all
passersby of the. Young residence will
allow. He and Miss Tossie have ar
ranged some flower beds, enclosed by
white-washed stones, in very artistic
manner, on the lawn, which is now in
fine condition. The effect in green and
white is very pretty and makes this
now one of the prettiest homes in
town.

anti-Socialists were in Minot for the

be killed. The horse had broken his

him shot to relieve his suffering, but
they found it hard to have the faithful

after having served them SO long.
A great many are suffering at pres
