Helen Demands Her Price.

An automobile had stopped on the
edge of the crowd. Its occupant, an
elegantly gowned young woman,
curious to learn the cause of the ex-
element, alighted and edged path
through the mob. 1t was Alice Martin,
on her way home from matinee. She
was genuinely distressed when she rec
Ognized Helen.
"Why," she cried in great alarm,
what has happened? Has there been
an accident? This girl is friend of

II am glad of that, madam" said
John gravely. perhaps you will help
by taking her to your house and look

But Alice could not do that.
I'm sorry" she confessed. "I-Tm

place. But If my car can be of any

struck John as singular. do you
mean that you saw her in the depart

Miss Martin nodded. 1t was now her
turn to be surprised ut such ready rec
ognitiOn of Helen's whereabouts in
business hours. But 1t was manifest
ly impossible to carry the discussion
further.

fallen from the skies, was the where
withal to provide 1t. But neither her
husband nor her eldest daughter
should know Of this stroke Of luck.
The note was folded carefully and Sc
creted in stocking.
When at last he and the Summer
parted, John pretended to enter his
own car. AS soon as his self-elected
guide had sped Off in her own limou-
sine, he sent his car home and strolled
into neighboring park.
There, prey to disturbing thoughts,
he sat on seat beneath some trees
and watched number of children at
play. &G
He was startled from this mournful
reverie by loud shout, and the sud
den running of passersby to an orna-
mental bridge which SPAWNED, ut con-
siderable height, lake meandering
through the park. Out of the tail Of
his eye he saw girl poised on the
parapet. Then, with II despairing cry,
the poor creature flung herself into
the water.
1t was palpably n case of attempted
suicide, yet not Il man among the score
or more who had seen her climb the
railing attempted other means of res
cue than wild shouting for the police
and frantic gesticulations to boat far
too distant to render timely aid. Tear
ing off his coat as he went, John raced
to the nearest point on the bank, and
plunged in.
He was able to wade out some part
of the way, until the water rose to his
breast, when he began to swim. A few
powerful and determined strokes
brought him to the spot where the girl
had disappeared. Her hat was al
ready floating down stream, but he had
mentally marked the exact locality
where she had taken that fearsome
plunge, and knew that there alone
could he find her. His Judgment had
not erred. A white face, renderd I'M
recognizable by the luxuriant golden
brown hair that covered it, rose close
Mt hand. In second John had seized
the drowning girl by the shoulders.
Then, turning on his back, he kicked
his return vigorously to the bank.
With tender hand he brushed the
tangled hair from her face.
"Good Cod" he muttered.
He had rescued the pretty assistant
whom he had seen that morning ut the
notion counter of the big department
store.

town. The head of the household, a
nan Of fifty, had decided long ago that
lard work brought him nowhere. Con-
sequently, indeed, one might almost
say inevitably, he elected to become a
corner-lOafer, sponger on his ac-
quaintances, an ever-increasing incu-
bus IN his wretched wife. She, poor
creature, might once have been a de-
cent woman, but the sheer hopeless
ness If life had borne her down until
she degenerated into slatternly
vlrago.
Yet heredity plays strange pranks.
This hapless pair, bringing into the
world children condemned before they
were born to grow into dissolute was
trels, had cOntrlved to rear among the
brood one at least with potentialities
for good. Helen Ray, the eldest dnugh-
ter, was not only good-looking and en-
dowed with a fine physique, but, given
a happier environment, would un-
doubtedly have developed into nota-
BILE woman. As though to emphasize
the vagaries which manifest them
selves in such human fiotsam and jet
sam, her brother, George Ray, two
years her Junior, was already depraved
at twenty.
There were two younger children, of
whose qualities this record takes no
count. The only wage-earner In the
family was Helen, and her mothers
sole contribution to the household
needs began and ended when she reused
the sleepy girl and prepared an made
Iuate breakfast.
On the morning when Fate crept into
that dismal abode with laden hands,
Helen heard nothing but her mothers
shrewish voice storming at her for
lnziness-saw nothing but the same
solled and disheveled surroundings.
The girl awoke suddenly under an
imperative shaking. She knew what
from an nffrighting nightmare, she
sat up. yawned, and rubbed the sleep
out of her eyes.
"All right, ma" she said sullenly,
you can cut out the rough stuff now.
I'll be ready in two minutes"
With final growl. Mrs. Ray retired
to her lair, the unkempt room wherein
the family cooked, ate, and lounged
when "at home" Her husband, who
had not met with "any luck" the pre-
vious day, and was peeyish and rest
less in consequence. had risen with

FIFTH EPISODE
The Way Of a Woman
A Modern Cinderella.

The conditions of poverty are such
that wisdom seldom indeed can be-
come its handmaiden. 1t would seem
to be logical, as an instance, that pow
erty would at least choose it's habitat
in the open air and under the blue
skies of the country in preference to
the fetid slums Of the city. Unfortu-
nately, however, more real misery,
more abject want, centers within u
square mile of some densely populated
working-class quarter than in ten
thousand square miles Of prairie.
For instance, the Ray family, whose
typical case now comes under review,
would have been vastly better off as
the veriest squatters living at the far
thest end Of beyond than as tenants
of tiny fiat in busy manufacturing

Then he strove to assuage Helen's
storm-tossed emotions. He might -
well have endeavored to quell an equi-
noctial gale. Helen followed her broth
er out of the house. But she had quits
made up her mind not to return to the
Ray tenement. She sought her friend,
Alice Martin, and Alice, in her per
verified way, played strangely comfort
ed version of the role of the Good
Samaritan.
"Never mind, dearie," she said. "Yo1
stay right here until can fix things
for you. You needn't care, even il you
have missed your marquis. He amt
the only pebble on the beach,"
Burton was more distressed than he
cared to admit. When the first shock
of the girls departure had passed he
resolved to find her, and use every
means in his power to bring her back
to n more equable frame OF mind. But,
search as he might and did. he found
no trace of the lost girl during nearly
n fortnight.
AT last, however, friend In whom
he Ind conflded, and whose assist
ance he sought, ascertained the true
state in which Alice Martin sived. and.
by following up that clue came upon
the cabaret in which the 80 girls now
took their nightly diversion. Greatly
grieved at the news, Burton went there
with his companion, and found Helen

he bent over the girl and urged her
earnestly to come away from II devil
ish set which meant only to compass
her ruin. She hung her head in
shame, but man beside her, who had
already marked her down as his law
full prey, naturally resented such out
spoken language, and sprang upright
with an oath.
Yielding apparently to an uncOntrol-
liable impulse, Helen thrust back the
cavalier who was minded to change
words for blows, mounted the chair In
which she had been seated and, before
anyone could stop her, stood on the
table, kicking aside an array of bottles
and glasses with her dainty feet.
"The man who wants me must buy
mel! she shrieked with an utter abaD-
dOnment of voice and gesture.

Aware only of feeling of physical
nausea, John turned and went to the
door. His departure was noted by the
jewellers, and evoked an exultant yell
"The noble marquis is down and

thousand dollars, and who WAS now

Helen's eyes darted one last hungry

would cheerfully have faced poverty
and all that 1t meant. He interpreted
Alright that terrible look, and mourn
fully shook his head. She asked for
love, and that he did not feel he could
give, since his sad experience of life
had seemingly made him a bankrupt
in life's most precious gift.
Knowing she had failed, Helen
spurned him with n magnificent ges-
ture. She wnrled around upon the
man who had named the highest price.
"You winl" she screamed, and flung
herself into his arms.
That last dreadful cry rang IN
Johns ears for many day. 1t was

DISTRICT COURT IN FEBRUARY

Judge Kneeshaw is holding district
court at Cavalier, the county seat of
Pembina county this week. The list
of civil and criminal cases up for trial
there is reported as being extremely
light. When the judge adjourned
court here, shortly before the holidays
he excused the jurors with the inti-
nation that it was likely they would
be recalled in February, probably
about the middle of the month, when
he returns here to dispose of cases
that were continued at the request of
litigants. 1t is also likely that Louis
P. Godon, the Scotch half breed
brought over from Olga on Wednesday
of last week held for trial on statu-
tory charge, will plead guilty at that
time and receive sentence.

LANGDON EX-RESIDENTS
PROSPERINC IN ALBERTA
Men Who Left langdon Several Years 400 for
Alberta Harvest Big Wheat Crop

Writing from Earlston, Alberta,
under date of Christmas eve, cores
pondent who signs himself w. A.
Hague, tells the Democrat he thinks
that it will be interesting for many of
the paper readers to know that several
former we'll known Langdon people,
who left five or six years ago to locate
in thatw ,rtion of the northwest, have
at at "a Il ! p 'ucl. oil, or in other words
are doing we'll. Their success the past
year in farming has been almost phe-
nomenal and with repetition of such
crop another year will consider
themselves on easy street. He states
that among those who had a share of
the good luck and hail from Langdon
are Charles Mann, who was painter
when he left here and last fall har-
vested and threshed crop of $500
bushels. The acreage to be cropped
next spring will be nearly double last
years. P. c. Hanson, also a painter
by trade when he left Langdon, has
struck fortune since he started
farming there. His crop, off land
broken up, when threshed amounted
to 2, 100 bushels. Another in the
same settlement who will be remem-
bered by many Langdon people is lit
tie "Joe" Kyncl, who put 1000
bushels of wheat in his granary last
fall. Allan Orr, who was timer
and plumber in Langdon, going from
here at about the same time the
rest of the party left, is also doing
we'll at farming and threshed crop
last fall that gave yield af upwards
5000 bushels. Chris Hanson, who
also resided here until moving to the
west is one of the settlement at
Earlston and did most of the thresh-
ing through that neighborhood last
fall.

SNEAK THIEVES AT MILTON

The Milton CLUB billiard parlors
have been broken into ON two occa-
sions within the past three months,
the last visit, evidently made by local
sneak thieves, was on Sunday evening
Of last week when cigars to the value
Of $40 made their disappearance. In
vestigation the following morning also
showed that the Swanlaw drug store,
Plains furniture store and building
next door to the Northwestern hotel
had been broken into The thieves
had to leave the drug store of Swan
law before they had made a haul,
owing to being overheard by the fam
lily upstairs. Monday the police found
the cigars taken from the billiard
parlor in a sack hidden behind an OLD
building at the rear of the city drug
store.
