MISSIONARY N
kIREA SPIAklS

Miss Grace Dillingham;, formerly a
resident of Baraboo, spoke at the First
M e. church concerning her work as
a missionary at Pyen Yang. Korea.
Miss Dillingham; has spent about five
years there and expects to return next
summer. The difference of language
in that country makes valuable the
missionary schools. Before the adj
vent of the English speaking mission
aries there were no schools there ex-
cept those of the Chinese class, these
being for boys. The Japanese have
also established schools, and there is
now considerable advancement in edu-
cational lines. Although Korea lis one
of the oldest civilizations on the earth,
little attention was ever given to edu-
cation. At present the country is I'M
der Japanese rule, a thing the people
of Korea do not like. For long time
Korea paid tribute to China, but this
has passed away While here Miss
Dillingham; was the guest of-Miss Fern
Hackett.

AUTO ACCIDENT
ON STEEP HILL

This is the wedding anniversary Of
Mr.. and Mrs. FL. L. Halsted, and they
decided to celebrate by taking an au-
tomobile trip to Merrimack, going b.
the way of Kings Corners. They were
accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. John
Mccain and had planned to spend the
beautiful October day in the open.
About two miles west of Merrimack4
there is cement bridge over an arm
of Lake Wisconsin, and the bridge is
approached from the west by going
down steep hill, after passing a turn
in the road When Mr.. Halsted passed
around the bend in the road and start
ed down the hill he observed someone
driving a horse down the steep slope
and woman walking by the roadside.
In attempting to pass, the car acct
dentafly struck the buggy and the oc-
cupant was thrown to the ground.
Mrs Mccain was in the front seat
and was thrown forward over the door
as the car came to a stop on the side
of the road in the ditch. An effort
had been made to avoid hitting the
buggy, but this could not be done.
Mrs. McGann's nose and forehead
were somewhat injured when she
struck the pavement
The driver of the buggy was Charles
Graft, father of Engineer Charles W.
Graft, 818 Oak street, Baraboo. He
was injured about the head when he
struck the ground.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ha1sted, Mr.. McGann
and Mrs Graft escaped injury.
r. H. Clark, optometrist, Baraboo,
was fishing near where the accident
happened and with his car took Mr..
Graft to Merrimack to receive medical
attention. He then brought Mr.. and
Mrs Mccain to Baraboo. Mr. Nc
gam then returned to the scene of
the accident with his car. The Hal
sted car was damaged SO that it need
ed repairing.
The place where the accident oc-
Cured is where many go to catch fish.
A son of Mr.. and Mrs. M. M. Palmer
drowned last summer a few rods
above the bridge.

MAGAZINE SECTION for March 4, 1917

there about the room, came back always
with puzzled, searching scrutiny to
Blanca Gill Where had he seen her
before-this slender, graceful, charming
woman with the pale, delicate face?
Twice he half rose from his chair to leave;
but curiosity had him in its grip, and
each time he subsidized
In the end he surrendered completely.
"Dear lady," he said abruptly, ",0here
have we met before?"
There was moment of hesitation be-
fore she answered him. Then her dark
eyes widened slightly, and she asked
with a faint note of surprise:
"Have we metz"
"We have" he returned, smiling.
what was your maiden name?"
"Bianca Grassi."
"Grassi!' He gave her sharp look
as he echoed the word. "Was your
mother American? Had she boarding
house in Mexico City,"
"Why-yes! Perhaps it was there you
saw me- she answered; but this time
her surprise struck him as not quite
spontaneous.
"Perhaps,' he assented. 4But that
was twenty years ago-and more.' He
paused, appraising the slim figure and
smooth brow. "You couldn't have been
much more than child then,' he said.
She smiled slightly in depreciation of
the compliment.
"Twenty years ago was seventeen,
she replied frankly.
"Not really!" said Tierney. And after
a moment: Il think | heard that your
mother died.
She nodded.
"When | was twenty. | gave up the
house then. | couldn't run it, young
girl alone. 1t was just after that that
went to Mr. Welles-Hewitt as his Sec
retary.'
"Ah, yes; Alba has told me. 1t is
very fortunate for her that you have
found her again" He was watching her
closely now. "There are no friends like
old friends, you know"
at is very fortunate for me to have
found her. Blanca said warmly, extend
ing an affectionate hand toward her
young guest.
d Alba responded eagerly, allowing her
self to be drawn into the embrace of the
friendly arm.
81 don't intend ever to let you lose me
again." she declared.
There was pause, while the doctors
glance shifted several times from one to
the other of the two dark heads so close
together Then Alba spoke:
Il think it was wonderful of you to
recognize the sefiora after such a long
time. Think of it-twenty years."
"But she didn't return the compliment,
replied the physician, a bantering smile
yelling his persistent scrutiny of Bianca's
face.
She met his gaze squarely now, reply
ing seriously:
an house like ours. with strangers
coming and going constantly, different
doctors were called in. | must have
seen so many of them"
"And | so few patients!"
"Oh, didn't mean that!" she protested.
"Of course you didn't, dear lady. But
it's the truth"
He changed the subject then, touch
ing for minute or two on such matters
connected with her step-father's death
as would require Alba's immediate atten-
ton. Then he took his departure.

Alba shook her bowed head.
"Do you know whether he has "a
brother"
"No, sonora, l don't know anything
about him." said the girl sadly. But 1
know what he isl" she exclaimed, looking
up. "Don't you understand now that he
couldn't be mur-"
THE question was cut short by tap on
the door. The sonora rose quickly as
if glad of the interruption. 1t was the
maid come to announce DR.. Tierney.
"Go down, my dear-I will come in
few minutes, said Blanca.
"But, Alba!" the doctor reproached her
atfectionately. "To leave the convent

girl. "I've known her since | was child.
as that so?" said DR.. Tierney, reas-
sured. "Who is she?" ,..
"Her husband is a lawyer, a Mexican.
But she used to be father secretary, and
we were great friends when was little
She has been wonderful to mel can't
tell you! But how is Mana? Have you
seen her this morning?"
The doctor nodded.
"She is not so we'll as expected he
said. "Your fathers death gave her
very serious shock. But that is natural,
l suppose. That Inspector-what's his
name? Cooley-was there this morning,
trying to see her. OF course | did not
permit it, but" '.e-|
He looked sharply at the girl.
"The Inspector thinks Mana knows
this man Brown and
mana! She has never even seen him!"
Alba Strengthened herself in her chair.
She knew what was coming, and she was
ready. Last night the doctor had asked
no questions because of her great excite
ment; but she knew that he meant to
ask them now. And she knew exactly
how she would answer them. To the
sefiora she had given her full confidence,
shown all her heart; but she would do
that with no one else. DR.. Tierney was
a dear, but he was man. And as for
that Inspector!
She told her story then, the same she
had told Mrs. Gil, but with difference.
1t ended, for one thing, at just the point
where her other listener had begun to
find it most interesting. And there was
no moon in it, and no mystery.
And you can't believe, doctor dear,
she challenged in conclusion that that
man is murderer"
DIR. Tierney did not reply at once. His
shrewd eyes were watching. He could see
well enough without moon.
"And when did you see him next?' he
inquired, as if it were the most obvious
question.
al have never seen him since.
She said it without the futter of an
eyelash. She had planned to say it; to
say anything else would have led she
could not tell where.
"Oh," murmured the doctor, with an
unconscious sigh of relief.
1T was not so bad as he had feared,
then. Yet it vas natural that such a
spectacular performance should have
caught young girls interest. She could
hardly know that some of the greatest
scoundrels of history had been romantic
dare-devils But. before he had time to
drop hint to this effect as an antidote
for any lurking poison in her mind,

loved must pass thus to her friend
"You met in Mexico City?' the
sefiora prompted finally.
Alba shook her head. No, at the
O'Hara rancho, she said. She and Dolores
O'Hara had been together at Santa YsO-
bells. Dolores was ill., and Alba had gone
to stay with her a few days before leaving
for New York. In that section, near Ar
razas, there had been no trouble with
bandits, and Dolores and her mother had
not been afraid to be alone with the chill
dren and the poems. But that night a
rumor came that some Zapatistas were in
the neighborhood. The poems deserted

"Then he came"
She spoke the words with quick in
take of breath, as if that arrival had been
a miraculous event; and her eyes looked
as Elsa's might have when the swan-boat
appeared.
LIE had been at Arrazas, and, hearing
that they were women alone, had come
to guard them until the aid he had sent for
should arrive. But they must find bet
ter shelter than the ranch-hOuse. They
had fled to the hills to a narrow, rocky
passage into which only two men at a
time could enter. But, with Dolores sick
and the children to carry, they had been
slow. Their crawling figures were seen.
@For hours and hours we crouched
there. Little Tony O'Hara and loaded
the rifles we had brought. And he shot
down the men as they tried to reach U.S..
There was no mistaking, in her utter
ance of the pronoun, who was meant. And
it was always so that she designated him
AS if he had been a wonder-knight with
out name. And, indeed, it was not until
later that she had learned his name. 1t was
after their besegers had withdrawn at the
approach of the Constitutional troopers
sent to their rescue They heard the hot
exchange of bullets from the valley below,
where the rancho lay, and then the hoof-
beats of the bandit horses growing fainter
and fainter. He had ventured from cover
then, and she had followed; and for a
little while they had been alone together.
"The moon was shining" said the girl
softly; and then nothing more. But to
her friendly listener nothing else was
needed. 1t had been night of romance
such as can happen only in times of dam
ger. And on the young, fresh mind had
been impressed an image of heroism and
gallantry that could hardly in lifetime
be obliterated Any view of her lover dis
cordant with her own could simply have
no reality for her. Understanding that,
the older woman's heart ached.
"Then, said the girl, as if she had put
into words what had gone before, "he
asked: What is your name? Mine is
Eric Brown"
"'I am Alba Yznaga,' answered.
"Yznagal' He said it just like that,

Blanca Gil leaned forward.
"Yes? Go on" she said.
"Then little Tony and his mother came
out, and-we were not alone again-until
next day in Mexico City-in the Alameda.
He wrote to me asking me to meet him
there"
"Yes?" said the sefora again.
