It had scarcely occurred when he IN
formed her that his affairs were now
in such condition that he would be
pleased to have her name the day.
She named one year from the next
first of January. in all about fifteen
months.
By this time he was ready for any
counterstroke she might make In this
battle of denied condolences and did
not ask her why she proposed to make
him wait so long. But it did not suit
her purpose to leave him in ignorance.
She had accepted the position of as
sistant to wealthy woman who was
president Of society Of suffragists
and in consideration of certain ad
vances made by her employer had
agreed to serve eighteen months. She
was busy most of the day and in the
evening wrote great many letters In
the presidents name.
She had hoped that he would show
some disappointment in having to wait
80 long for her. but If he felt it he con-
trolled it's expression. He merely said
that, such being the case. they would

might happen in year and a half.
perhaps it would be better to leave the
matter of the wedding day open. She
didn't like this; her idea was to tie him
down to a fixed day and make him
wait for it.
He did not call so often as formerly,
giving as q reason that he did not care
to draw her away from her duties.
She said that the correspondence had
been delegated to another, and her
evenings would be free. Nevertheless
he confined his visits to Sunday nights.
This status was maintained till the
period of her engagement with the
president was about to expire, when
her lover informed her that his bust
ness would require six months trip
abroad, and the wedding had better be
postponed till after his return. This
was a home thrust, but she had 8
counterstroke ready. She told him
that she concurred heartily. She had
been offered the position of secretary
to a wealthy bachelor and would like
to try 1t for awhile. It would there
fore suit her to postpone the day 1or
year instead Of six months.
This was playing the joker. He
cursed inwardly, but not outwardly
he said that 4 years interval before
the marriage would suit him very we'll
He was to leave on his trip in weel
and would call the day before sailing
to say goodby.
She went up to her room, locked thu
door and had good cry.
The day before he was to sail h
called. The hour was in the after
noon. The ship was to be pulled ou
at 2 the next morning.
II am going to dip coin," he said.
She abated her pride so far as t,
ask him what for, and he said b.

How is This for a Pipe Dream2

GAINESVILLE RecOrd-Rev1eW: Great
Northern surveyors were busy Sunday
surveying around the round-house,
shops and other Great Northern pro-
perty, and this, coupled with the fact
that posts and other material for a
twelve-foot fence with barb wire
guards on top have arrived, leads to
the belief that the railway company
is expecting trouble when the eight
hour law goes into effect January l.,
or soon thereafter, and wants to be
prepared for It. Railroad men here
do not want or expect a strike, but
evidently the company fears the in
fluence of agitators and figures on
keeping the road in operation, no mat
ter what happens.
It may not be as serious as it
sounds or looks, as we understand the

BUY HIGH CLASS BONDS.
The Safety First Idea In the Invest.
mont Of Money.

The Safety First idea In the Invest.
msnt Of Money.
The bond buyer never fails. The
Spectator often does. The reason is
that the bond buyer is an investor
and the Spectator gambler. This is
not to say that money is not made In
speculation, for the records prove to
the contrary.
No country in the world offers bet
ter or safer opportunities for invest
ment In we'll secured, first class negoti-
able bonds - always commanding a
ready market-than the United States.
Bond sales aggregating vast amounts
occur daily on the Stock Exchange in
railway, Industrial and public utility
obligations OF the highest class. Lead
Ing bankers and financial institutions
are daily dealing in bonds equally
high class and gilt edged that are not
listed on the exchange. These include
farm mortgages, public utilities, in
dustrial and railroad obligations.
The great life insurance companies
and savings banks and trustees of
estates are all heavy purchasers Of
securities of this character, for they
are not permitted to engage in specu'
lation and are in most instances limit
ed very strictly to investments Of the
safest type.
The enormous transactions in these
securities have given to bankers and
brokers of the highest rank an estab'
lished business and large clientele,
and it is to the interest Of dealers in
such securities to sell no other bonds
than those which are dependable.
Bonds Of this character in most in
stances give better yield than can be
had from the savings banks with
equal stability. And when these Sc
| curities are recommended to the In
vestor by banks and bankers Of un
questioned integrity nothing better car
be found for the person who seeks
safety first.-Leslie's Weekly.

A Letter From Senator Gandrud.
Sunburg, Mimi. Dec. 16. 1915.

It is proper and important that con-
stituents present suggestions concern
ing desired legislation to their repre-.
sentatives in the Legislature. And It
is also appropriate that mass meet
ings are held, similar to the one call
ed by my colleague Mr.. Frye to dis.
crss matters of common interest that
require legislative consideration and
enactment. Owing to previous ap-
pointment entered into by me, not
knowing at the time of the meeting
called by Mr.. Frye, was unable to
be present at the meeting held in the
City Of Willmar on the 9th, inst. which
fact I regretted very much. It shall
please me to receive suggestions by
letter or otherwise from any of my
constituents regarding desired legis'
alton and the same will receive in all
instances my most careful attention
and consideration.
Sincerely yours,
P. A. GANDRUD.

Excuse me, Tom," she said one
day. "but If l am to be- your wife l

it is to be months or years before the
wedding."
II wish could tell you, but 1 can't.
I'm afraid you'll have to wait till am

"Why can't know what contributes
to or detracts from your ability to say
that?"
well, you had better not know the
many drawbacks that continually
come up before me. Naturally they
are discouraglng. If told you about
them they would fret you. That would
react on me, and instead Of having
only myself to bolster up would have

There tho matter dropped.
One evening when he called on her
she was not at home. He called again
several times during the week and she
was always away. Sunday evening he
found her in. He mentioned having
called without seeing her and expected
her to give a reason for not being at
home. She went on talking about 9th
er matters without doing so. He did
not ask for an explanation, but when
the next week he again found her out
every evening that he called he ex-
pressed surprise at the change in her
habits.
II presume you consider" she said
that you have a right to know every
thing that do. don't admit that you
have. We are not married and may
never be married. Even when married
you will only have right to know

This was view Of the matter he
had not considered. He was aware
that it was intended as retaliation FOL
his own refusal to give her his conf
dence. and he had nothing further t
say.
Not long after this he took a partner
In his business. Quite likely had not

Rurel Credits Law In Brief.

The act provides for the creation
of twelve Federal land banks and
permits the establishment of any
number of joint-stock land banks for
the purpose of making loans at a
reasonable rate of interest. for long
periods of time, on farm lands.
A Federal Farm Loan Board has
complete control oyer these banks.
Twelve Federal land banks are
provided, one in each of the twelve
districts into which the country will
be divided. These banks are en-
powered to lend on first mortgages
on farm lands in amounts of 500
to $4,000 for approved purposes.
The loans are to be made through
farm loan associations and agents.
No loan may be made for more than
so per cent of the value of the land
mortgaged and 20 per cent of the
value of permanent insured i'm
provements upon it.
National Farm Loan associations
local organizations composed exclus-
lively of borrowers are authorized.
These associations must be stock
holders in the land banks in proper
ton to the amount their members
wish 10 borrow. Eventually all
stock in the Federal land banks will
be owned exclusively by these asso-
Citations.
A reasonable interest rate is es.
tablished. The act prohibits the
Federal land banks from charging
more than 6 per cent on any mortg-
age, or requiring fees not approved
by the Farm Loan Board.
The borrowers will share in the
net profits of the bank because they
are stockholders. 1t is contemplated
that ultimately the borrowers will
be the old stock holders.
Long term loans are provided for
by authorizing mortgages for periods
of from 5 up to 40 years.
Small annual or semi-annual pay
ments on the principal are made a
required feature of all mortgages. -
