Evening after evening passed while William sat dreaming painfully of Mir. Parcher's porch, but in the daytime, though he did not literally make hay while the sun shone, he at least gath cred a harvest somewhat resembling hay in general character.
 Thus: One afternoon, having locked his door to secure himself against in- trusion, William seated himself at his writing table and from a drawer there in took a small cardboard box, which he uncovered, placing the contents be- fore him upon the table. In the box were:
 A faded rose; several other faded roses, disintegrated into leaves; three withered -four leaf clovers;" white ribbon still faintly smelling of Violets; small silver shoe buckle; a large pearl button; a small pearl button; 6 tortoise shell hairpin; cross section from the heel of small slipper; a stringy remnant, probably once an i'm provised wreath of daisies; four or five withered dandelions; other dried vegetation of a nature now hdistin- grdshable.
 His gentle eyes showed his emotion.

 Yes, dear" said Mrs. Baxter. She shook her head and uttered the enig- matic words, "They do."
 "I mean Willie, mamma" said Jane. If it's anything about Miss Pratt he always talks awful funny. Don't you think Willie talks awful funny if it's anything about Miss Pratt, mammaT
 "Yes, but
 What, mamma?" Jane asked as her mother paused.
 Well, 1t happens. People do get like that at his age, Jane."

 No. I suppose not everybody; just some"
 William returned violently 10 the doorway, his hair still tousled, and, standing upon the threshold. said sternly:
 What is that child wearing her best dress for?"
 "To please you. Don't you want her to look her best at your tea:"
 'I thought that was itr' he cried, and upon this confirmation of his worst fears he did increased violence to his rumpled hair. "I suspected 1t, but l wouldn't "a believed 1t.

A few detached phrases fell from him: "In- Yite my friends-children's party-ye gods!-think Mtss Pratt plays dolls"-

They all know her except Miss Pratt, perhaps, and'- Mrs. Baxter paused; then she asked absently, By the way, haven't 1 heard somewhere that she likes pretending to be little girl herself?'
 "Whaty'
 "Yes." said Mrs. Baxter, remaining calm, I'm sure I've heard somewhere that she likes to talk baby talk"
 Upon this a tremor passed over Will liam, after which he became rigid. You ask lady to your house." he began, 'and even before she gets here, before you've even seen her, you pass judgment upon one of the--one of the noblest"-
 Mrs. Baxter laughed. and then, pzob- ably little out of patience with him, she gave way to that innate mischiev- ouaness in such affairs which is not unknown to her sex. "You see, Willie, if Miss Pratt pretends to be a cunning little girl 1t will be helpful to Jane to listen and learn how"

JEWISH
RELIEF
LIBERAL
Fargo Residents Contribute
Nearly 81, 900 in Great
Campaign :.

New York, Feb. /. The Jewish
residents of Fargo have just sent close
to $1,000 to Herbert H. Lehman, treas
urer of the American Jewish Keller
committee, of which Louis Marshall is
chairman and Cyrus L. Sulzberger Sec
rotary.
The American Jewish Relief COM
mittee has undertaken the largest
campaign ever known in the history OF
relief work. They have set out to get
100000, to aid their co-religionists
in the war zone, and that their hops
of obtaining this sum is not a dream
of reckless optimism, but that they win
reach the $4,000, 900 mark during the
year 1917 is fully justified by present
developments.
The enthusiasm kindled by the
meeting held in New York city on
December Fl continues to grow, and
money from every smallest hamlet in
the United States continues to pour
into the office of the treasurer.
The realization that peace cannot
for some time ameIiorate conditions;
that for years there will be widows
and orphans who must be provided for,
brings generous responses. The people
OF Fargo, who responded so generously
last year, are again nobly assisting the
cause. D. Naftalin is one of the most
active workers.

Action Of Stevens va. Auxer Held UP
in TriaI-LittIe Being Done
Today.

On motion of the defense, deposit
tons of the plaintiff in the case of
Fred Stevens against w. B. Auxer in
the district court were suppressed and
the case continued to a later time.
This continuation and the fact that
that the interested parties in the case
OF A. J. English versus August john
son, the next case scheduled, are snow
bound on the Southwestern branch,
caused the jury to recess this morning
until this afternoon.
In the case of Stevens versus Auxer,
H. r. Turner appeared for the plain
tiff and v. r. Lowell for the defense.
After the defendant moved to suppress
the plaintiffs dispositions. which was
granted, he moved to dismiss. This
was denied and the plaintiff then
moved to continue, which was grant
