Mary looked at him with round eyes
Of innocence.
''Oh, Dave" she said, II certainly
IN erbliged ter yer an I'm goin' ter
do err heap fer yer"
What is hit yer goin' ter do" he
persisted.
Mary swooped away from him with
quick, butterfly movement and caught
up the lower rail Of the fence. I'm
er goin' ter let yer help me lay up
this fence" she answered. with a saucy
look at him and an enchanting gurgle
Of irrepressible laughter.
David laughed. too, in spite Of his
defeat, and joyous dancing lights fash
ed in his dark eyes. answering the
witchery Of her own.
"All right, Mistress Mary" he said,
but mind, hit don't take very long ter
lay up er fence an then there'l hev
ter he ernother settlin'," he added,
with meaning.
In truth, judging from the way in
which he fell to work, 1t would not
take long, and Mary. as she watched
him. felt a sudden little half fearful
thrill go over her.
She knew very we'll that David
loved her and had done so for more
than q year. but in all that time she
had managed by her quick wit to hold
him of so that he had never actually
wooed her. Why she thus fenced with
him Mary hardly knew herself, for in
her own heart she was very we'll aware
that she loved him. But it was all
such a strange new feeling that some
how it prompted her always to put up
quick, defensive barriers Of speech
whenever they were alone together.
And David had let himself be held
her. But now, after a long winter of
scrupulous saving in camp, things were
different, and watching his determined
face as he toiled W. the fence, Mary
realized all at once that he was nc
longer to be bafaed::' and. with the reali'
xation she. felt herself shaken softly
like, a. spring leaf shivering In the
April winds.
And even as she watched him, David
laid the top rail upon the fence and
turning suddenly, caught both bel
hands In his. -.
For a long moment he looked dowr
at her In silence, and Mary's eyes fel
before his.

President to UnveiI Confederate Statue.
Raleigh. n. c.. April 2S.-President
Wilson has accepted the invitation Of
the state authorities of North Carolina
to he present IN May 10 and unveil the
monument to the WOmen OF the Con-
federacy, which is now being erected
on the grounds Of the capitol. The
monument is the work Of Augustus
Lukeman. a New York sculptor. The
monument is the gift to the state OF
the late Colonel Ashley Horne, wealthy
merchant and farmer of Clayton, n. &.
Colonel Horne had already arranged
for the erection of the monument
when he died last November, had turn
eel the money over to the state, and
the work is now almost finished. The
donor had conferred with the sculptor
and had approved his preliminary
model.
Colonel Horne, who was an uncle Of
Professor Herman Harrell Horne of
the faculty of the University of New
York. was inspired by the memory OF
his mother to erect this monument to
the women OF the Confederacy.
The secretary of the navy, Josephus
Daniels. was a life long friend of Colo
mel Horne, and he will deliver an adj
dress at the dedication ceremonies.
Mr.. I.ukeman in his design has de-
picted a mother Of the Confederacy,
seated with a Bible on her lap, while
by her side is her son, still only a boy.

fight. Determination is in both faces,
but that expressed by the woman is
mingled with sorrow.

ATTEMPTED MURDER
George EiI|eff Tried to Kill His
Wife---Near Death Himself

George Eilleff, a Bulgarian miner
living in the Savoy location, is in
the Sh ipman hospital in a serious
condition as the result of a bullet
wound sustained Wednesday morn
ing while struggling with his wife
for the possession of pistol.
He and his wife have been
having trouble and Tuesday
night, it is said, he threatened to
kill her. Wednesday morning the
trouble was renewed, when he took
out his revolver while his wife was
starting the fire, and she noticed
something wrong. She ran into
the bedroom and saw him with the
gun in his hand and grabbed his
arms. During the ensuing tussle
Eilleff pulled the trigger and the
bullet entered his head close to his
right eye and through his skull.
He was taken to the Shipman
hospital, where an operation was
performed. His condition is
very serious. He has a wife and
pne child and has resided il Ely
for some time.

Some Road Builder

That the Tower road is one of
the finest automobile highways in
the state is the report of Virginia
motor parties returning Saturday
night and yesterday from Ely,
where they attended the fremen' S
tournament and homecoming last
week and from Lake Vermilion
points.
Some of the people on the Yer
million range" said a we'll known
Virginia auto owner last week are
criticising the Tower road, but !
cannot see why. That part of it
which lies in the district of County
Commissioner Grant McMahan is
one of the best stretches of road on
on the range. Nobody has any
thing on Mr.. McMahan in the
matter of road building. The
range highways that have been
built under his commissionership
are among the finest in the state.
If there is any warranted criticism
of the Tower road it certainly can
not be in that section of it located
in Mr.. McMahan's district. 1t is
one of the finest roads 1 know of
anywhere. Virginia Enterprise.

Opposes Prohibition

The Minnesota Federation OF
Labor, at its annual session in
Duluth, decided that it does not
want national or state prohibition
or county option. A resolution
favoring local option precipitated q
long debate which finally resulted
in the measure being referred back
to the resolutions committee for
reconsideration.
The resolution, which was adopt
ed by decisive majority declared
against national and state prohibit
ton and county option.
The question was raised that
action on the resolution would put
the federation in politics, but this
contention was disposed of by the
decision that the question of pro-
hibition was economic and not
political, and that, therefore, the
federation was within its province
in acting on it.

to make this section of the country
a spot of natural resources. All
these are no doubt less widely
known than many other Mime
sofa spots, but for that are no less
wonderful.
The village of Winton, with it's
two large lumber manufacturing
plants, it's famous fishing indus
try, it's natural abode for the
hunter and trapper, its many adj
vantages offered to the sportsman,
all speak for itself in making this
settlement wide awake and pro-
gressive little city. The past year
a new $30,OO0.00 school building
was erected here which also goes
to show and give encouragement
for the future. The town is cleo
trio lighted, has fine sidewalks,
also fine postOffice, with receipts
larger than any office of its size
in the state; it is town of many
comfortable homes. The st. Croix
Hall is also credit to the town /;
here different entertainments are
held, and is made useful in many
ways, and another building worth
mention is the Union Church,
where services and Sunday school
are held for all denominations.
Winton supports hospital
which is under the supervision of
the. Shipman Hospital of Ely, and
is in charge of DR.. F. w. Metcalf,
who makes his residence at the
hospital building, which instit,l-
ton is big credit to the town.
In addition to this the Winton
State Bank is one Of the town s
Institutions; has a capital Of $780,
100000, with the following officers ::
Pres. Edward Hines, Vice. Pres.
Thos. S. Written, and Cashier w.
A. johnson.
In conclusion, Wlnton has ev-
cry advantage to offer to the
home seeker, and is fast coming
to the front, pushing forth tomake
a name for itself that can be COM
pared with any town or village of
it's size in Minnesota.

Morrison made his way into the

He was carrying a flat stone with a
