lovely cheek grew damask. She stood
all a-quiver as he halted, for some
telepathic sense seemed to tell him
she was nearing him. Her small,
pretty hand would steal shyly into his
own. Proudly, f1utteringly she would
lead him across into the park and
deliver him into the guardianship Of
the gleeful coterie of little ones await
ing him.
Thanks, mademoiselle, you help
to make my life beautiful" always
Moore would say, but never an audi

the guiding hand, and then-a flow

gers attached a rose or a carnation
to his coat. He would bow his head
to catch the exquisite perfume. Then
his sightless face would turn seraph-
like upon his silent helper, and Cecile
would go back to her little flower
stand, her features glorifed-
dream.
Finally, for a week, Cecile missed
her friend. She grew pale and thin
and distressed. She watched from her
little booth hourly. Moore was gone,
and with him her sole interest in life,
the sunshine, heaven!
There came to her the woman in
charge of the little hotel one day. She
placed a eoleau of gold pieces upon
the counter of the flower stand.
"See, Cecile," she said softly, "the
maestro has gone to see a wonderful
surgeon in London. He babe me bring
you the money, and each day you are
to take your daintiest blossoms to
the little ones. He left the word, too.
1t was this: A kiss through me of
hope, of courage, of gratitude" and
the woman pressed her lips to the
brow Of the pure, innocent girl.
Cecile burst into tears. She clasped
the hand of the kindly dame, kneel-
ing. Then she stood transfxed as in
a dream. The kiss-from him! A cor

The quivering face sank deep in a
bowl of roses, as if imploring the flow
er fairies to tell the mystery.
She hid her hand in her bosom,
blushing as though to shut away the
sight of a tell-tale. Had those tender
fingers told the story of her devotion,
had the thrill of her gentle soul per-

cherished.

hands extended. And there he stood,
silent, motionless, while he gazed past
those beautiful eyes into the very soul
of the lovely girl.

A GOOD FIGHT

1t was good fight that those
Gregory county fellows put up
for a fair chance to submit the
county seat removal question to
the voters of that county. Fair
fax, located in the extreme
southern bonndry of the county,
has been county seat for many
years. Bonesteel, Herrick. Gre
CORY, and Dallas are all more
centrally located. Anyone of
them could defeat Fairfax for
the county seat location, but
every time the matter comes IN,
Fairfax manages to get several
contestants into the campaign,
with the result that none get a
majority of the votes and the
county seat remains at Fairfax
FINALLY the opponents of Fair
lax came down to the IegiSlat-
ure with Il bill that provided for
primary election to eliminate
all towns except the two can
didates with highest vote. Then
at the general election the peo-
pie of the county could choose
between these two. Herrick and
Burke circulated petitions for the
placing of their names upon the
primary ballot. Fairfax opposed
them, and the matter went into
the courts. The supreme court
has just given Fairfax another
temporary lease on the county
seat by holding the elimination
primary bill unconstitutional.
Now the Burke, Herrick, and
Gregory supporters propose to
come down to the legislature
again next session with a new
law that will meet the cOnstitut-
ional objections to the old one
and a constitutional amendment
that will remove certain diff
cuties. The question of county
seat location is Of Importance in
Stanley county and Charles Mix
counties as we'll as Gregory. The
various bills will occupy much

Mr.. Granger, who also seeks the
republican nominate for the
senate, isn't great money
maker. Mr. Granger is a lawyer,
a profession, which by the way,
does not yield great wealth in
country towns i'm times like these
After leaving school in 1906 he
spent two years in the city, max
ing twenty-five cent collections
in the daytime, and sleeping on
his office desk at night. The day
he arrived in kadoka, the hot
winds licked up that year 8 crop.
The summers have been some
what dry since that time, and
Mr.. Granger has prospered accod-
ingly. He has no ''large inter
eSts. = Mr.. Millett desires to EN-
phasize that fact, and he does it
in his own peculiar way by con
stantly referring to his own ac-
cumulations. Mr.. Granger is not
a man of wealth: Mr.. Millett is.
Still we believe that. this has
nothing to do with the qualifi-
cations Of these two gentlemen
for the office they seek. The
voters are pretty apt to choose
on other grounds than the large
business interests.

in this state for more money for
the state administration has been
d long and interesting one. The
constitution provides that the
levy for state purposes shall
never be more than four mills on
the dollar for each year. That
was always sufficient for the
needs OF the state rmemt
until recent years. Some of these
reforms cost a lot Of money, but
don't cost nearly so much as
the jolly good fellows that have
TO be taken care of with offices
which place them on the pay
roll. AS long as six years ago
the state administration began
to be pinchcd for ready money
The four mills allowed by the
constitution were not adequate
So constitutional amendment
was submitted at the general elp-
ction of 1908 raising the limit
OF course, it didn t get by the
voters. 1t was lost by vote of
34,915 to 1882 against it. This
was not decisive enough. evi-

menhment was submitted rails
ng the limit of the levy for
state purposes. 1t was defeated
by vote of 29,S3O for it to a

then plain to the administration
that the people of the state, to
use a vulg gar phrase of the

wise No amendment was sub
mitted in 1912, because the state
administration had another
scheme up its sleeve. No sooner
had the legislature assembled
than We began to hear talk of a
tax commission. The plan seem
ed fair enough on it's face to
many legislators and the law
creating the commission was
passed. Then it was casually an
nOunced that the commission
proposed to raise the assessed
valuation of all the property in
the state three to fourfold
According to the figures lately
given out by the commission.
the assessed valuation Of the
taxable property of the state
was raised from 1854 .27S,413 in
1912 to x1.195, ,455,243 i'm 1913.

easily the number of the great
bunch Of officeholders that the

as getting plenty Of grease for

in pleasant ways. Taxes haven I
