DIR. F. A. Cone Dedicates Beautiful
Instrument Used For First Time
Last Sunday
MANY ATTEND RECITAL
Franklin Krieger of St. Paul, and
Local Musicians Delight Large Au-
dience Monday Evening

"a dream realized has come true
in the Methodist church whose con-
gregation, led by its music-loving
minister, has long hoped for and
above all worked for, pipe organ.
The beautiful instrument, the first
of its kind in Redwood County, was
completed last week, dedicated last
Sunday and heard in a public recital
Monday evening. For this accomp-
lishment of a high purpose, much
credit is due Rev. N. de M. Darrell,
who, both as a worker for the organ,
and as an inspiration to the other
workers, has kept steadily on until
the fulfillment of the desire which
he shared with so many of his parish
oners.
DR.. F. A. Cone of Mankato, who is
senior ex-pastor of the local church,
made the acceptance speech at the
dedication service Sunday morning
and also preached to his old congre-
cation.
A. E. King, for many years one of
the leading members of the Metho-
dist church, and member of the or
gan committee, made the presenta-
ton address. In his few well-chosen
remarks, Mr.. King cited briefly the
musical history of the church, from
the days of the pocket melodeon to
the grand organ now placed in the
church. Mr.. King also stated how
with the assistance of Andrew Car
negie, the committee had found ii
possible to present the organ to the
congregation entirely free of any in
debtedness.
The organ, played by Mrs. w. b
Clement and Miss Maud Peterson, was
heard for the first time by the public
at the Sunday morning service, and
added much to the beauty and solemn
ity of the service.

AS she surveyed herself In the long
mirror of her door, the slow color stole
into her cheeks. Yet the costume was
not unbecoming. nor unusual. She
looked like a simple school girl, or
young business woman going to her
days work.
But she looked at the fashionable
proportions of the other hat with some
thing like alarm. How could she pro
tect it? She did not for a moment
think Of abandoning 1t, for 1t was her
earnest desire to return 1t at once,
unframed, to it's kind purloiner
She summoned the newsboy and pur-
chased three thick newspapers. From
these, with the aid Of few pins, she
made large package Of the hat. She
decided to 90 bareheaded, and put the
white kid gloves in the suitcase, but
she took off her beautiful rings, and
hid them safely inside her dress.
She sacrificed one OF her precious
quarters to get rid Of the attentive por-
ter and started off with brisk step
down the long platform to the station.
She followed group of people into
car, which presently brought her into
the neighborhood of the large stores,
as she had hoped 1t would. 1t was
with relief that she recognized the
name on one of the stores as being of
worldwide reputation.
Wen for her that she was an expert
enced shopper. She went straight to
the millinery 6apar+poap+ opd arrornoj
to have the hat boxed and sent to the
address Durham had given her
1t had cost less to express the hat
than she had feared yet her stock of
money was woefully small. Some kind
OF dress she must have, and wrap
that she might be disguised but what
could she buy and yet have something
left for food? Lifting her eyes, she
saw sign over table-"Linene
Skirts, rs cents and $1.0O."
Here was ray of hope She turned
eagerly to examine them Piles OF
somber skirts, blue and black and tan
They were stout and coarse and scant.
and not of the latest cut, but what mat
tered It? She decided on a seventy
five cent black one.
Growing wise with experience, she
discovered that she could get a black
sateen shirtwaist for fifty cents. Rub
bers and a cotton umbrella took an
other dollar and half. She must save
at least dollar to send back the suit
case by express.
A bargain-table Of odds and ends Of
woollen Jackets. golf vests, and old
fashioned blouse sweaters, selling off
at dollar apiece, solved the prob
lem Of wrap. She selected a dark
blouse, of an ugly, purply blue. but
thick and warm. Then with her pre-
cious packages she asked a pleasant
faced saleswoman If there were any
place near where she could slip on a
walking skirt she had just bought to
save her other skirt from the muddy
streets. She was ushered into little

recognize her. She folded the rain.

suitcase, then with dismay remem-
bered that she had nothing in which

had come about her simple purchases.
She folded the dress smoothly and laid

She sat down at writing.desk. in

paused an instant, and with nervous
haste wrote Mary" underneath. She
opened the suitcase and pinned the pa
per to the lapel of the evening coat.
Just three dollars and eixty-seven cents
she had left in her pocketbook after
paying the expressage on the suitcase.
AT her first waking, in the early gray
hours OF the morning, she had looked
her predicament calmly In the face.
She had gone carefully over her own
accomplishments. Her musical attain
ments. which would naturally have
been the first thought, were out of the
question. Her skill as a musician was
so great, and SO well known by her
enemy. that she would probably be
traced by 1t at once. The same argu.
ments were true if she were to at
tempt to take position as teacher or
governess, although she was thorough
~ competent to do so. A servants
place in some ones home was the only
thing possible that presented itself to
her mind, She could not cook, nor do
general homework, but she thought
she could fill the place Of waitress.
With brave face. but shrinking
heart, she stepped into a drug store
and looked up in the directory the ad-
dresses of several employment
agencies.

1t was half past eleven when she
