N.Barnackel
By EDITH V. ROSS

'EnOch Barnackel! What name!
Any one would know that he was
crusty old man Of the farmer type,
uneducated and with no manners.
But what can do?''
These words were spoken to herself
by girl who had some sixteen years
before been left at foundlings' home
and who had been given the name of
Helen and had later chosen the addi-
tional name Of Whitman. She had
been retained at the home as an en-
ployee till she approached seventeen,
then was informed that a farmer
named Barnackel had written that he
wanted wife and asked whether one
could be sent to him. Helen was in
formed Of the opportunity.
After long and fearful delibera-
ton, feeling incompetent to go out
into the world and make living, she
decided to 60 out to Mr.. Barnackel. If
he was very terrible she might COM
nit suicide. The matron approved of
her resolution, for she was comely,
and the good woman feared that with
her 1nexperience she might fall VIC
tim to some designing person.
Mr.. Barnackel was informed that
there was young woman ready to
accept his proposition. and he sent
money for her journey. The heart
broken girl nerved herself to her fate
and one afternoon alighted at rail-
way station at the village near which
his farm was located. A young farm
er with whip In his hand approached
her and asked If she was the young
woman who was to marry Mr.. Bar
nackel.
Il am" was the reply. THAT is. If
he isn't an OGRE"
The young man smiled. His smile
was very winning. II have q team
here" he said. "1'll drive you to the
farm"
When seated in the wagon and he
had said "get up to the horses Helen
expected that he would say something
to her. He did not. He seemed to be
thinking.
what kind Of looking man is Mr..
Barnackel?" she asked.
Now, the young man was George
Barnackel, nephew of the man who
had written for wife. The uncle
was fifty years old, his face looked
like ball Of strings, his hair was red.
and he was just too unlovely for any,
thing. At any rate, that is the way
the daughter of one of the neighboring
farmers put it. In fact, he was ex-
actly what Helen had conceived him
to be. Judging from his name. He
must also have been fool or he
would never have sent his good look
ing nephew for young girl he ex-
pected to make his wife. Upon Hell
ems inquiry George turned his face to-.
ward her, displaying a set of regular
white teeth by smiling, and asked:
Suppose should tell you that he is
a dtsagreeable old codger and always
cross as bear. What would you do p
II would jump into the river-that
is, II there is one near BY"
There was prolonged silence, at
the end of which the young man said
"And what would you say IL l told
you that am Mr.. Barnackel?"
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1916-04-26

Helen's heart went up into her throat.
She made no reply to the question, but
she sided nearer to her companion.
Presently there came subdued voice:
Are you Mr.. Barnackel?'
II am"
Her face was bent low. He leaned
lower himself and looked up into it..
He saw what he took to be a look Of
pleasure. Perhaps it was relief. The
reins were in his right hand. She was
sitting at his left. He put his left
arm about her waist. She looked up
at him, her eyes wet, a suspicion of a
smile on her lips. He kissed them.
How far is it to the FARM" was
the next thing said.

George drove over six miles, which
seemed like three to Helen, then STOP

I go in to tell my mother and sister
you're here. They don't know you're
coming"
Leaving the reins in her hands, he
went into the house. He was gone a
long while. Helen saw the face Of
an elderly woman surveying her from
window, then younger one doing
the same.
"Oh, DEAR" she said, II hope they're
not going to make him send me back!'
Presently door opened and the two
women came out, the elder in advance.
She welcomed Helen, though she seem
ed constrained. Leading her into the
mouse. the younger woman showed her
to chamber upstairs and, shutting
the door behind them, took her in her
arms, exclaiming:
"You poor child!'
"Why am l to be 50 pitied?" asked
Helen, surprised.
you're not It's all right, Well
make you very happy. My brother is
not the Mr.. Barnackel you came out
here to marry. That one is my uncle,
a crusty old man who would not do for
you at all. Being rheumatic, he asked
George to drive you from the station
to his farm. George wants you him.
self. Mother has given her consent,
and you are to be married-that is. If
you wish to marry George-at once"
Helen asked If haste were necessary.
George replied to this that his bride
belonged to his uncle, was expected by
his uncle and unless the knot were tied
there was no knowing what he would
do In the matter. The chance of be-
Ing turned over to the old curmudgeon
SO terrified Helen that she was only
too glad to be married at once. The
wedding took place that evening.

By the Merciless
Waves
By DWIGHT NORWOOD

During the winter of 1914, being in
England and desiring to see something
Of the pan-European war, I crossed
the channel to Flanders. But when
I got there was not permitted to 60
to the scene Of conflict. Not caring to
return Immediately I went to a hotel
on the seashore, intending to spend sew
eral days there.
The weather was cold, and the chan
mel, stretching out indefinitely toward
the northwest, was gloomy sight to
behold. One morning l heard BOOM
ing out at sea, but had no knowledge
Of what it portended. During the day
there was always booming on the land
north and south Of me, and sometimes
it came family from the east. These
sounds continually reminded me that
was surrounded by war and its conse-
quent distress.
But it was the channel that most af-
fected me. knew that out there
many merchant crew was sailing In
danger Of being sent to the bottom Of
the cold, black waters. Many a sub
marine crew was dreading lest their
vessel become entangled in the enor-
nous wire nets laid by the British
trawlers to trap them.
One evening when there was q misty
moonlight was tempted to go out and
walk on the beach. l was warmly
clothed and enjoyed the Icy air that
blew against my cheeks. So enjoyable
was my jaunt to me that walked for
an hour toward the north, then was
about to turn and retrace my steps
when saw something denser than the
surrounding atmosphere a short dis
lance ahead of me-
I stood watching it. A thin cloud
that had covered the moon passed from
it face, giving a slight increase Of light
and revealed what seemed to me to be
a knot Of men huddled together.

founder, and these shadowy beings re-
minded me Of its crew standing togeth-
er about mast, doubtless gaining some
slight comfort from one another while
waiting for the fatal plunge.
Curiosity led me to approach what
saw. and I walked forward. But
somehow I got no nearer to them,
though they gradually became less in
distinct, for by keeping my eyes fixed
upon them they became individuals.

Their relative position was that of men
discussing some momentous question.
Nevertheless I heard no sound, nor
could discern any one of them ad-

Then 1t seemed to me that they were
all looking toward me, but this was
rather their position with reference to
one another, for had no evidence that
they were facing me. Immediately
after this they began to move away
from me. followed, and since / did
not gain on them I FASTENED my steps.
But the faster walked the quicker
they receded. Sometimes It seemed
that they were tramping, sometimes
that they were moving from me with
out taking steps.

thing was wrong with me. l swung
my arms, pinched myself, rubbed my
eyes. The group remained in my Vi
sion till they had gone few hundred
yards from the shore, then stopped and
slowly settled down, it seemed, into
the water-either this or they faded
before me; could not tell which.
This was the end of my dream, hal
lucination or whatever it might be. I
waited for some time, peering out to
where the men had disappeared, won

did not, and considered it high time

might know it again. There was lit
