MAGAZINE SECTION for June IS, 1916

deeper and more yearning grew the love
ing blaze she would whisper:
@Tell me what kin do! Oh, tell me
what l kin dol"
EVERY day Nance came to bring her
wood and water. Judy no longer had
strength enough to take them from her
at the door, but her fingers could work
still. Faster and faster she made them
fly. Sometimes, at the very sight of the
little garments she was making, Nance
would turn and stalk out without word
At other times she would sit down and
watch her bitterly, as if it were some
penance to which she was subjecting her
self. Never once did she offer any COM
ment till one day when Judy was round
ing off the toe of what was surely the
tiniest red stocking that ever was con-
ceived of, it seemed as if the limit of her
endurance had been reached.
"Hain't We never goin' to be done with
that truck" she demanded scornfully.
For q minute Judy did not answer.
Then she lifted her eyes up bravely to
Nance.
IL hain't maxim these'n fer me, she
said. @These here-air fer YOU"
Nance sprang to her feet and for one
terrible moment she glared at Judy as if
she could have struck her down dead.
But something in the pure love and the
courage of Judy's eyes vanquished her.
She turned away, with a sob, and burst
into tears. Wild, despairing tears they
were, hopeless, helpless, of prim-
;fivo oroo turo hrouuht 70 how
With them Judy mingled her
gentler ones.
Nance" she begged, "don't
turn from me-. Can't We see how =
love We? My heart-hit's jest
plumb a-breakin' fer We, Nance. 'saan
Tell me what l kin do"
aye kin kill me, | reckon. if
We will. I've tried to, but can't" M =
4Tell me somethin' kin do--to
help"
@Hit's the one thing can't be
holp."
"Thar's nothin' in life can't be holp,
even if it's only by bavin' some one
that cares live through it with We; an
lovin' we more fer what ye're havin' to
bear"
Somehow, as Judy spoke, the first init
nation Of the truth of her words dawned
on Nance's soul. Hitherto in all her life
she had never asked for help from any
one, nor wanted it. Many little wild
creature had she succored in days gone
by; many little calf lost in the woods
had she brought back to its mother;
many. little lamb delivered from the
dogs many little fallen nesting put
back tenderly under its mothers wing.
But she had never known what it was to
be gentle with any human creature, nor
to let one be gentle with her. Now, in
her need something of the sweetness of
dependence was revealed to her.
"But, if anybody helps, hit hadn't
ought to be you," she said brokenly
"Ive been bout as hateful to We as
human critter could be. But oh, if We
knew what I'd been through! If only I'd
never seed town!
THE very second evenin' after got
there we went to a set-runnin' out at
Jim Benton's, two mile out O. town,

way off to the top O. the mounting like
this. Can't We jest see EN- toddlin' about
together, each of a size?'
@An' when hit grows up big enough %
ask whar hits pappy is?'
well tell hit hit ain't got nary papI
an hitll think hits pappy's dead
"Other folks'll tell hit differ'nt."
"By that time hit'll have pappy.
Yell have Earned to love some other man
by that time
AN who'd ever want me?"
@Men hain't like that. A man thai
'u'd punish We fer the wrong some other
man done We wouldn't be worth the
havin."
Nance shook her head.
IL hain't purity like you. Nary mother
man'll ever come fer me. But that don't
seem to matter now. Hit were wrong to
do as | done-I see that now: but no
power on airth could ha' made me seen
hit then"
aye didn't know-we don't airy one of
us. Some of us has better luck, that's all.
And somehow, as Nance looked at it
with Judy, it began to seem as if it was
the same thing that was happening to
them both. Before that she had not even
accepted her fate. Now she met and rose
above it.
aOnly Pop-he'll be all broke up when
he hears
mot when he sees how ye're talin it.
An when hit comes think how he'll love
hit! Oh, hits happy times that's on
ahead; don't We see?'
If the struggle wasn't over
yet for Nance, every day and
every hour told. 1t was good
to see the newly awakened love
and gentleness on her face.
The whole growth of her soul
was there to read sometimes in
the worshiping look she bent on
Judy.
"Tain't only that we've
u Earned me to love you," she
said one day, in rare little rush
of tenderness, 4but we've Earned
me to love hit. Seems like
can't wait till hits here.
Up there on Big Stoney,
winter wasn't lonely any longer.
As they sat together by the
fire, Judy's dream was vague
and diffuse. 1t was as If she
were looking out upon sea Of
happiness too deep to probe,
too vast to contemplate in its
entirety, but so soft, SO pretty,
so blue, her feet couldn't help
hurrying toward it. Now its
little waves sang one song, now
another. And how sweet We're

from it!
But Nance's vision took on
clearer shapes.

He was alone too, an pretty soon, him

Joe Robbie, proprietor of the
Radisson Restaurant has been
making extensive Improvements
on the interior of his place the
past few weeks. The place has
been completely covered with
steel, both the sides and the
ceiling, which has been painted
in a very tasty color, and the
wood work has been painted and
vanished. The dining room
has been rearranged, which adds
greatly to the appearance of the
place. Joe has always enjoyed
a splendid business since taking
charge of the Radisson and the
business is steadily increasing.
The meals and lunches put up
are very appetizing and the pa
irons appreciate the accomoda-
tions they receive.

BARRIERS PICNIC

The male population of Sisse-
ton were going around rubbing
their itching boards Monday
and wondering where the bar
bers we're, as there places were
closed. A number phoned to
Sheriff Minder, wanting to know
if he was responsible for the
act, but John was Innocent.
Later on in the day it was dis
covered that the boys had locked
shop and had gone to Hartford,
ON Big Stone Lake for an outing
and to forget troubles and
whiskers for a day. In the party
were Wm. Swanson, Max Dady,
Emery Carrier, Ed. Quaintance,
VIM. Westrom, Jas. Callsen and
Baldy Fuclose. They had we'll
filled lunch baskets along and
the party sure had one big cele-
bration. They returned late in
the evening, tired but happy.

SUBMARINE
CROSSES OCEAN
Brings Cargo of DyestuH
To The United States.

Baltimore, july lO.-The worlds
first submarine merchantmen, the
German ship Deutschland, has ar
rived in port here, having passed
under the allied blockade and the
cruisers that were awaiting it off
the United States coast. 1t carr
led mail and many tons of valuable
dyes and chemicals, and will carry
back tons of nickel and crude rub

1t has crew of twenty-n nine. 1t
took sixteen days to cross.
The submarine carries the Ger
man merchant flag, and its COM
mander is proceeding without ap-
parent fear that it would be regard
ed as anything but a peaceful mer-
chairman.
The submarines superstructure
is fifteen feet above water. II
stood the trip perfectly. Its cap.
tain claimed no enemy vessels were
sighted.
The German submarine arrived
off the Virginia capes between Caps
Henry and Cape Charles at LAS a
M, aud passed up Chesapeake Ba,
for Baltimore, escorted by the tug
Timmons. 1t was chased twenty
miles off the coast by French anc
British cruisers, thereby delaying
its arrival for four days.
There are unconfrmed reports
that another submarine is already
on its way to America.

A GREAT FEAT

1t does seem like old times--a
German merchant vessel entering
United States port, carrying a cargo
of German goods for the Ameri-
can market.
But there is a difference. For
the German merchant vessel is a
submarine, thousands of miles pre-
sumable from its base. and it has
carried a cargo of valuable dyestuffs
and chemicals--the things for the
lack of which the people of the
United States have suffered most
severely since the English block
ade of German ports.-to the Ameri-
can market.
The announcement of safe arri-
val of German submarine in
United States port, coming all the
way from Germany, through sea
beset by enemy warships. OH the
lookout for that very thing, stirs
the imagination and thrills the
blood of neutral Americans.
Incidently, it accomplishes lot
of other Illings. 1t tends to the be-
lief that the Kaiser has found other
ana better things for his submarine
to do than to devote their energies
to sinking enemy merchantmen or
passenger ships. 1t is Germany's S
best answer to the administration S
coursein the submarine controversy
and it tends to provide way by
which Germany and America can
secure the things each most great
ly needs, of which they have been
deprived since the establishment of
the allied blockade.
1t is possible, of course, that the
allies may find way to blockade
the movements of German merch-
ant submarines, even as they have
blockaded German surface vessels.
This remains to be seen. Mean
time, the feat of the German SUBJ
marine in eluding the enemy ves-
sells and making the sslong voyage
under;sea across the broad Atlantic.
is calculated to stir the admiration
even of the allied nations. .-Aber-

Last week was Celebration and
rain week. We had no time to sell
cars.
The automobile slow race was
very we'll advertised before the cele-
bration but we noticed that the pa
pers have neglected to inform the
public of the outcome, so it is up
to us.
The race took place on main
street the evening Of the fifth. Five
cars were entered in the first slow
race. Edwin Hagen won first
money $1,000, with Ford. This
Ford was the only car that finished
the race. The rest were all stalled
before the finish. There was no
REQ in this race OH account of there
not being room.
The second race with prize of
$500 was pulled off next and was
copped off by Henry Ernster with
REQ.
The Free-for.all race was won by
Dana Babcock in an eight cylinder
