assigned by one of the attendants.

insure his being in good company.

WHILE THE TOWNSHIP COM.
PANY SLEEPS"

Henry Eidam has been digging
a number of holes around his
home grounds. and on lnquiving
if they were for fence posts, he re
piled 'No, they are to plant trees
in next year" This probably
accounts for the many beautiful
forest trees around lenry's res
idence. He is planting trees all
the time, including evergreens,
but has his holes for them DUG a
year in advance.
While on the subject, it should
be noted that Mr.. Eidam's grounds
are becoming quite a Park since
1.-THE bridge has been removed.
The removal has closed up Miss
ourl avenue. which has the effect
of apparently making MIR. Eidam
heir to an extensive piece of city
property, resulting from the in
difference of the townsite com
pany. But the company's loss
may perchance be the community S
gain; for with Mr.. e. S property
running to the street corner on the
west, and the travel going in other
directions. everything seems to be
most favorable to the creation of
a beautiful park in the business
district of our city. The soil
seems to be perfectly adapted to
the growth of forest trees and 9TH

Major james Mclaughlin. spec
ial agent of the Secretary of the
Interior, was an arrival Saturday
evening, with the patents ''ln fee
simple" for eighty two allottees of
the Cheyenne River reservation.
The ceremonies connected with
delivering the patents were to take
PLACID at Eagle Butte to-day inlay

Indian office, the names of the for
tunate allottees could not be OBJ
tanned for this weeks issue of The
Press, except by delaying the
printing, consequently we hope to
be able to publish them next week.
Supt. Campbell returned Mon
day from his trip to Montana and
had part in the Ceremony of
adoptiou."
Opinions are divided as to
whether these allottees are Lene-
fitted by being thus made full
t1edged American citizens. 1t is
to be admitted that some of them
may 90 and part with their land
the 'first Jump out of the box;"
but ON the other hand, we know
of scores Of Indians who have got.
in their allotments. more land than
they are using, or can use. So the
only problem connected with
their rellnquishing some of their
land, is, whether they will foolishly
let it 90 for less than it is really
worth.
Tie day is past, in this country,
as it is past in Europe, when any
man or company of men can hold
on to the land that they cannot or
do not use That is one of the de-
finite programs of the Socialist
program. commencing with min
eral and other non agricultural
soil. Unconsclously, as it appears
to The Press, the two old parties
are steadily carrying cut con
siderable part of the Socialist pro-
gram, and for that reason, The
Press says, ''The day is past &c, !"
We have not learned how or to
what extent the new made citizens
here are going to appreciate their
''dowry,' but the story is in cir
culation around the Agency, that,
of the number recently awarded
their patents at the Yankton Ag-
ency, when secretary Lane came
all the way out from Washington
to ''jolly'' them, some three hun.
dred in number, it was discovered.
during the progress of the pre-
sentation Of patents, that one hun
dred had previously sold or alien
ated them. In consequence, this
hundred did not get their patents,
and were informed that they
would have to wait ten years long
er before they could get them.

be harsh and failed. From around the
obstructing house came an old darby.
When his eyes fell on the Barbadian
he rushed forward. "Lor, Misteh NAL

The Barbadian laughed little dryly
and shrugged his shoulders. The driver
got down, protesting, and helped the
family carry the house across the road.
Then the cab went on and soon turned
up an avenue under fiery canopy of
acacia flamboyante.
As they progressed, thick, twining
growths, spangled with brilliant
blooms, walled in the avenue. The air
grew cool but heavy with scents and
the full-flavored spice Of tropical gar
den under blazing sun.
The air made Gerry dreamy. he
woke with a start when the Barbadian
said to the cabman, "This will do.
You needn't drive in. Wait here"
The cab stopped. Just ahead was
the ruin Of great gate. The two pill
lars still stood, but they were almost
entirely hidden by vines. To one of
them chung the rusted vestige of a
gate. Beyond the pillars there was a
| winding way. Once 1t had been a
road continuation of the avenue, now
it was but a tunnel through the dense.

of the tunnel was a narrow path

They came out under a grove OF
mighty trees whose dense shade had
kept down the underground, and be
yond the trees Gerry saw a vast, ir
regular mound of vines, with which
mingled giant geraniums, climbing
fuchsias, honeysuckle and rose. Their

crate, but inwardly he was fighting
down turmoil of emotions. What was
he to find in Alix? Had he anything to
give in exchange? Had he too much?
He climbed the steps slowly. His
hand trembled as he reached out to
raise the heavy bronze knocker. Be
fore his fingers could seize it, the door
swung softly inward. Old John bowed
before him. For a moment Gerry
stood dazed. The naturalness of that
open door, of the old butler, of the cool
shadows in the old familiar hall, struck
straight at his heart with the shrewd
poignancy of simple things. Old John
raised smiling face to greet him but
down one wrinkled cheek crawled a
surprised tear.
Gerry held out his hand. How do
you do. John?"
II am very well today, SIR" said
John. Mrs. Gerry is in the library.
She told me to telephone to the club
and II you were there to say she
wished to see you"
think he would go to the club? He
handed the butler his old hat and
strobe to the library door. The door
was closed. Somebody said. Come
in" The words were SO low he hardly
heard them. He opened the door,
stepped inside and closed 1t behind
him.
Alix, dressed In a flmy blue and
white housegown, stood in the middle
OF the room. With one hand appraised,
the other outstretched, she seemed to
be poised, equally ready for advance
or flight. Her eyes passed swiftly
over Gerry's face, swept searching
down to his feet and back again to his
face. For weeks she had been wonder
ing. Terrible things had come to her
mind. Alan and Gerry with his heart
less note, had conspired to mystify, to
terribly her. All the joy she had looked
forward to in Gerry's Homecoming
had turned into bitter pain. They
had not known on the hill how she was
suffering. Only Kemp had seemed to
understand a little and had brought
his drop of comfort to her.
As her eyes searched Gerry the sense
Of impending calamity left her. He
was well, well as she had never seen
him before, Except for that he seemed
almost weirdly familiar as though
only good nights sleep lay between
him and the morning Of three year.

lad fought back and overwhelmed
him.
A hundred little differences went to
make up this solitary change. The flush
of too many drinks had given way to
deep healthy glow, the eyes were deep
and grave instead Of deep and vacant,
the broad shoulders that had taken to
hanging were braced in unconscious
strength. Every line In the body that
she had seen start on the road to gross
ness had been fined down. The body
was no longer mere abode for lin
gering spirit. 1t had become mocha
nism, tuned to expression In action. 1t
was not the body of tlme-server.

to her. ~ never thought the old Rock

1t was ten O'Clock on a morning in
early autumn when Gerry finally got
free Of the freighter and took the ferry
for the other side of the river. He had
left all his baggage to be delivered at
the house later. The morning was
clear but sultry. In the city the apathy
of summer days had settled down.
People glanced at Gerry's heavy
tweeds and antiquated hat but they
did not smile, for Gerry himself was
such sight as makes men forget
clothes. The tan of his lean face, the
swing Of his big, unpadded shoulders,
his clear eyes, carried the thoughts of
passers-by away from clothes and city
things. They seemed to catch breath
Of spicy winds from the worn garments

and In his eyes they saw mirage of
