CHAPTER XIII.
From Brown to Gray.

+ "You. Marta--you are still there!"
Lanstron exclaimed in alarm when he
heard her voice over the tunnel tele-
phone. But safe!" he added In re-
lief. THANK God for that! It's a
mighty load of my mind. And your
mother?"
Safe, too"
well, you're through the worst Of
It. There won't be any more fighting
around the house, and certainly West
erling will be courteous. But where
Is Gustave?"
"Gone!"
"Gone!" he repeated dismally.
wait until you hear how he went"
Marta said. With all the vividness Of
her impressions, a partisan for the mo-
ment of him and Dellarme, she
sketched Feller's part with the auto
matte.
AS he listened, Lanstron's spirit was
twenty again.
II can see him." he said. 1T was a
full breath Of fresh air to the lungs
CT a suffocating man. L"
Marta was off in interruption in the
full tide of an appeal.
"You muet-I promised-you must
let him have the uniform again!" she
begged. "You must let him keep his
automatic. To take 1t away would
be like separating mother and child;
like separating Minna from Clarissa
Eileen
Better than an automatic-a bat
terry of guns!" replied Lanstron. This
is where / will use any influence l
have with Partow for all 1t is worth.
Yes, and he shall have the iron cross.
1t is for such deeds as his that the
iron cross was meant"
THANK YOU she said. TITS worth
something to mako man as happy as
you will make him. Yes, you are real
flesh and blood to do this, Lanny."
Her point won with surprising ease,
when she had feared that military
form and law could not be circum-
vented, she leaned against the wall
IN reaction. For twenty-four hours
she had been without sleep. The in
terest of her appeal for Teller had
kept up her strength after the excite
ment Of the fight for the redoubt was
over. Now there seemed nothing left
to do.
"That's fine of you, Lanny!" she
said. You've taken 1t like q good
stole, this loss Of your thousandth
chance. You really believed in 1t,
didn't your"
Forgotten already, like the many
other thousandth chances that have

donations is that. being fearless as
well as passionless. they never CRY

age of seventy years, two months and

Sven Magnus Nelson was born at

In the fall Of 1866 he was married to

SENIOR CLASS
PLAY 4 SUCCESS
Local High School Students Pre-
sent "At the End Of the Rain
bow" to Large House.

This years graduating class Of the
Willmar High School pleased a large
audience with their production. AT
the End of the Rainbow" last Friday
evening. The play was a college CON-
edy in three acts and dealt with the
college life just before the biggest
foot ball game of the season. The
plot revolved around the securing of
Douglas Brown to play on the team.
This was accomplished by a certain
young lady, Phyllis Lane by name,
who used her persuasive powers to
great advantage. The day of the
great game arrived and thru the all
around playing of Brown his team
won. Following the game Brown dis
covers that he had been tricked by
Phyllis into playing but he was too
much in love with her to give her UP.
Browns father, wealthy widower,
marr1es again to widow who has a
daughter and both of them were try
ing to get his money. They succeed
ed in poisoning the mind of Brown,
ST., against his son. The latter was
disowned and a will made in favor
of the widow. However, shortly be-
fore his death the father relents and
make new will in favor of his son.
The scheming women learned of this
and made an ineffective attempt to
secure the will. Brown, Jr. comes in.
to his Inheritance and he and Phyllis
live happily ever after.
The parts of Douglas Brown and
Phyllis Lane were handled by Ruth
Sanderson and Myron Cramer in good
style, as were the parts of the Wild
ow and her daughter by Myrtle John
son and lone Geer. Vance Peterson
and Minnie Fridlund took the parts
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Preston, a
newly married couple, in good shape.
Russell Ackerman, a lawyer, and Haz-
ell Benson, his ward, were two Of the
prominent characters in the play and
carried their parts well. Raynold
Peterson being initiated into a frat
and Marion Gratz into a sorority were
employed as butler and maid by Mr..
and Mrs. Richard Preston and fur
nished most of the comedy during the
play. Norman De La Hunt, captain
OF the team, was forced to the side
lines on account of injuries received
during the game.
The rest of the cast performed In
creditable manner. The proceeds
amounted to about $3.50. After the
performance the Juniors served q
spread in honor of the Seniors at the
High School gym.
