The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1917-04-14

Yet. with her woman's intuition. she
postponed the matter until Balston
was convalescent. till he was 4ble to
hobble about the house. Yet each
knew that the other was acting part,
and that 1t was only q matter of time
until the words were spoken.
Did you know that I had daugh-
ter?" she asked him one day.
"A daughter!" unused Ralston. He
had not thought Of that. Somehow. It
seemed mpossible-this sweet-faced,
youngish woman. with a child.
"She has been living In the city
until ! could make a homo for her."
continued Mrs. Symon. "She has been
here once or twice, and she is COM
ing to live with me next week" She
laid her hand on his arm. II want you
to wait till you have seen her." she
continued.
Ostensibly the words meant that
Ralston was to postpone his departure
until Lillian had come; but, actually,
he knew they meant that until then
nothing was to be said OF marriage.
Yet 1t was with difficulty that he
could restrain himself, for his love
had again given Mrs. Symon the as
poets Of the woman in his dream. and
he felt that he could with her attain
that peace of soul which he had lost.
LILLIAN Is coming tomorrow" Mrs.
Symon said one day. will you take
the horse to the depot and meet herr"
And your"
ooh, shall not have time IL I am
to get things in order for her." an
swered Mrs. Symon with a little
laugh.
Ralston drove to the depot, and
presently fresh-faced young girl got
down from the train and glanced
about her. Ralston went up and stood
staring fcolishly at her. 1t was the
girl Of his vision. So she had been
there, had seen him while he lay in
his delirium!
She knew him. too; she put out her
hand, and mechanically he clasped it..
He helped her into the carriage and
they whirled away. And though not a
word had been spoken Ralston felt his
heart leap up with ecstacy She was
his! He blessed his stars that moth
ing had been said to the mother. She
knew-Lilian knew. He felt that with
perfect instinct They were born for
each other, each was destined for the
other.
And the mother was forgotten, and
two young people drove along abb
sorbed in one another. Their glances,
at first shy. became more ardent.
Ralston put out his hand and closed
it on the girls warm fingers.
do you understand he STAN
mered.
She nodded shyly.
1T was you, then, whom I saw in
my dreams?'
She nodded again. And suddenly
he drew her to him and pressed his
lips to hers. And all pretense seemed
ludicrously absurd in the face Of this
elemental and overmastering passion
that had sprung up between them.
In silence they drove the last stage
of the journey. When at last they
stopped before the cabin they de-
scended like people in a dream. Mrs.
Symon was sitting in front OF the
door; she had seen and interpreted
the look upon each face.
AS they went in she said in a low
voice.
Are you not glad that told you
to waltz
YES, am glad" he answered help
lessly Then, with a sudden pity:
And you? And your"
"Oh, II" she asked, with shrug OF
her shoulders. Il have had my day,

ATTENDED BIG
BOSTON CLAM BAKE

Captain and Mrs. d. c. Crawford
arrived home Friday morning from
their visit of four weeks with Il ir
children, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank w.
Gardner, at Boston, Massachusetts.
The National encampment of the g.
A. r. was held while Mr.. and Mrs.
Crawford were in Boston, and it be-
ing vacation time for their children,
too, the trip was one of continuous
sightseeing and other pleasures.
Mr.. Crawford said the National
encampment and the welcome given
the old boys of 1861-65 was one OF the
best ever, nothing was too good for
them. They were Toasted and toast
ed and invited to a big clam bake.
They took in Lexington, Bunker Hill,
and many other places of interest.
They had one of the best times in
their life, but were glad to get back
into quiet home life again.

When Mr.. and Mrs. Young refused to

chancery on January 80 last.
The courts decision is that the de-
PENDANTS obtained possession of the
property fraudulently; they are en-
joined from selling it or otherwise dis
posing of it, and are directed TO APP
pear in court on September 20 to
make a settlement and give an ac-
count of the money which they re-
ceived. The opinion states that the
money and other property was given
them in trust for the plaintiff, and
directs that it shall be turned back to
her. Out Of the $4,000 originally
left her, she had about $4,000 left at

Mrs. Gardner was adopted when a

10 years, at which time the property
was made over to her mother and

they claimed that she gaye-it to them

The property in Illinois was sold,
and $4,000 of it was used to buy the

buy farm machinery, stock, an auto

The plaintiff asserted that the un-

HUNTERS LICENSES
ARE SELLING WELL
At CLERKS OFFICE
EIGHTY SEVEN LOCAL SPORTS
MEN SECURED STATE RIGHT
TO HUNT SATURDAY

City Clerk Frank E. Conant is do
ing a land Office business in issuing
hunters licenses. Up to the time for
the open season last Sunday morning
he had made out and delivered to local
sportsmen eighty-eseven licenses.
Thirty-seven were issued Saturday.
This was more than was issued all
season last year. The only game of
note that could be killed Sunday was
ducks, but many of the men were out
early and onto the lakes. Because
of the recent warm weather hunting
was poor. The ducks are still farth-
er north.
Below is given a list of the men
who had obtained licenses to hunt be-
fore the open season. The demand
for deer licenses is greater than last
year also. They will be issued some
time next month.

Hi THERE, SAMMlE!

Hi there, Sammie! get your gun,
The time is ripe to kill the Hun
And ev'ry viper meath the sun,
Including Bill, the Kaiser.
There's time enough to talk of Peace
When we have clipped the Prussians'
fleece
And th' road to He'll is smeared with
grease
To welcome Bill, the Kaiser.
Hi there, Sam mie! brace yourself,
YOU'RE fighting not for gain or pelf,
But just to put Fritz on the shelf,
And save your home and honor.
You've started out to get the skunk
Who filled the air with "hard-boiled
bunk"
And ordered that our ships be sunk,
Till everyone's "goner."
The time has come to call Bills bluff,
To ask him where he gets that stuff,
And make him yell, "I've had
enough"
Or those same words in German.
He's filled the world with Slaughter
mad,
And rape, he's made high. brow fad
So you'll agree it's time, begad,
To wipe out all the vermin.
Hi there, Sam mie! never stop,
just smile as you bounce "O'er th'
Top"
And on the Germans get the drop,
For good old Uncle Sam, sir.
We haven't started fighting yet,
The Germans goat we're going to get
And as for Wilhelm's boast or threat,
We do not give damn, sir!
