''His name was Trelawney. kicked
him out of our camps because he was
a troublemaker."
''He was one of the men that robbed
you later!" she exclaimed.
"Yes. And now he has tried to rob
me again and has paid for it with his
life"
Her mind flashed back over the past.
"Then his partner in this last crime
must have been the same man-whats
his name?-that was with him last
time"

true. And he, too, is lying somewhere
in this park covered with snow-if our
guess is right"
"And Gordon-you admit he didn't
do it?"
Again he nodded, sulkily. mo. He
didn't do it,"
Joy lifted in her voice. $50 you've
brought me here to tell me. Oh, am
glad, my friend, that you were so good.
And it is like you to do it. You have
always been the good friend to me-"
The Scotsman smiled, little wist-
fully. "You take a mean advantage of
a man. You nurse him when he's ILL
and are kind to him when he is we'll
and try to love him, though he is twice
your age and more. Then, when his
enemy is in his power, he finds he
can't strike him down without striking
you too. Take your young man, Sheba
O'Neill, and marry him, and for Gods
sake, get him out of Alaska before I
come to grips with him again. I'm
not a patient man, and he's tried me
sair. They say I'm a good Halter, and I
always thought it true. But what's
the use of hating a man, when your
soft arms are round him for an
armor"
The fine eyes of the girl were wells
of warm light. Her gladness was not
for herself and her lover only, but for
the friend that had been so nearly
lost and was now found. He believed
he had done it for her, but Sheba was
sure his reasons lay deeper. He was
too much of a man to hide evidence
and let his rival be falsely accused of
murder. 1t was not in him to do a
cheap thing like that. When it came
to the pinch, he was too decent to stab
In the back. But she was willing to
take him on his own ground
It'll always be thanking ySu for your
goodness to me-" she told him simply.
He brushed that aside at once.
There's one thing more, lass. I'll
likely not be seeing you again alone,

Her eyes followed him, a vital, dyna-

She sighed. He had been a great fig

out of it.

Mrs. Paget embraced her for the

very fond Of Sheba, and she had been
on great strain concerning her safety.
That out of her danger had resulted

Loyalty.Alone Will Not
Win War says Eddyin
Red Lake Falls Speech

Red Lake Falls, July 31.-"Loyalty
is not enough to win the war;" said
former Congressman Frank Eddy of
Sank Centre in delivering a farewell
address nhonor of Red Lake county's
quota of IL selected men, who left this
afternoon for Camp Wadsworth.
"The four things necessary to win
this war are, first, loyalty; second,
fighting; third, fighting; fourth, more
fighting. There are two kinds of fight
ing and two kinds of fighters: Those
who fight on the battle line in France
and those who fight their work and
time and money at home. Every farm
er who raises little more grain than
he ever did before in order to give our
armies more food is patriot. Those
who fail to do their full duty at home
are as much deserters as those who
desert their companions" said Mr..
Eddy.

not dull enough to quench the spirit
of the picknickers. About 80 autos
took the children and grown-ups out
to the lake and two auto trucks car
ried the eats and dishes. At noon the
dinner was served and several of the
men came out from town to have din
ner. The sun shone in full splendor
in the afternoon for couple of hours
and the lake became the center of at
traction old and young enjoyed dip
in the water. Ice cream and cake was
served about four o'clock just as the
clouds gathered but everyone reached
home without getting wet except Rev.
Sparkes and four boys. A little mis-
understanding resulted in their being
left behind and after half an hours
wait they hiked for town, but. after
walking a mile they were picked up by
a car sent out for that purpose and
wet but still enjoying the experience
they reached home none the worse for
the adventure. Including those who
came at noon about 275 attended the
picnic and everybody had good time.
Mrs. L. Irish and Mrs. J. A. Caugh-
rem had charge of the eats; Mrs. Fish
er and Mrs. J. H. Law the invitations;
Mr.. Norris the transportation and Mr..
Northrup's class served the dinner.

who loaned their autos and in any

Sugar Situation Worse
than Most People Real
ize---Supply Nearly Gone

That the United States may be en-
-tirely out of sugar before the end Of
1918 was predicted by Henry K. Ny
ers, investigator at large in the en-
forcement division Of the United
States food administration, who ar
rived in the Twin Cities Monday.
"The sugar situation in this coun-
try is much more serious than most
persons realize" he said. "Indeed it
is possible that, before the end Of
the year, we shall be unable to get
any sugar at ALL"
The present shortage, he attributed
to loss by submarine raids and in the
German offensive in France of more
than $4,000 tons of sugar during June
and July. The best Of the beet sugar
crop in France was destroyed, he
said. ~
"The first relief will come from the
Louisiana CROP he added. "This crop
ripens earlier than the Colorado crop.
The Louisiana crop, however, cannot
be manufactured into sugar and plac-
ed on the market before the first of
the year"

Safety Commission has
Been a Practical Help
SolUing Labor Problems

Farmers throughout the state have
come to- realize that there is one or
ganization in the, state that is always
equal to any emergency when it be-
came necessary to bring about a prac-
teal solution of the many problems
that confront the farmer during
these strenuous war times.
That organization is the State
Safety Commission which, as a war
board, has always held that the pros
perity and progress Of the farmer are
matters that are vitality essential to
the task of winning the war.
One of the most practical and eff
ficient of the Commissions forty-one
orders so far passed in Order No. 81,
which has. for its specific purpose the
mobilization of every available
ounce of man power Of the state for
work on the farms and in the harvest
ing of the great crops that are now
being gathered.
This order in many sections has
had the effect of completely revolu-
tionizing the farm labor problem.
Idlers and slackers are seeking en-
ployment everywhere. Those who
do not are Immediately brought to
the attention of the county attorney
and sheriff.
The Commissions labor bureau In
Minneapolis is also doing a rushing
business and is giving valuable aid
to farmers when applications are
made for men. Late reports are that
instead Of an acute shortage of men,
the office will be able to fill all appli-
cations nicely. County organizations
of the commission are taking active
steps to enlist business and profess
sional men of the cities and villages,
a great majority of whom have had
farm experience.
Many fine reports from all sections
of the state bear out the fact that
Order No. 81 in it's effect is well
worth every cent that the Commits
sion has used in the state since it be-
gan its war task of putting Mime
sofa in a position to shoulder it's full
share of the nations war burdens
and to do her full duty ip that re-
spect with the help and cooperation
of every 100 per cent loyalist. Mis-
understandings can well be, and
should be, forgotten, in the effort to
accomplish this all important task
with all posSible speed and with a
full measure of success.

ENGLISH Meat Cards.

Meat can be purchased in metropol-
ltan districts In England only under
the card system, which is to be extend
ed throughout the United Kingdom.
The child's meat card Is for children
under ten years of age, who are enti-
tied to only half as much meat as
adults.
Horse meat, bones, suet and offal
are included among the products for
the purchase of which cards are neces-
sary. No one is exempt; even the roy
al family is on meat-card basis. The
rigidity of control may be judged from
the fact that forgery of cards Is pun
lshable by heavy fine and that in case
Of death, the card must be surrender
cd before burial permit is granted

The scarcity of lumber for mine pill

MEETS SHOCKING DEATH.

Mrs. john Grassinger of Browerville
met terrible death last week,
while driving the mower in the hay
field. Her husband had gone to the
house and while he was absent the
tongue of the mower broke, frighten-
ing the horses and throwing Mrs.
Grassinger forward. 1t is thought
that her neck was broken at the time
OF the fall. However, her body was
caught in the pitman wheel and she
was dragged more than quarter of
mile before her body was torn loose
from the mower. One horse was badly
cut. Mrs. Grassinger was 80 years
Old and is survived by her husband and
little son, nine years old.

Conserve Surplus Food.

Increased planting of vegetables this
year almost certainly will mean an un-
precedented yield Of all kinds Of fresh
vegetables.
This will mean plentiful supplies for
summer tables and q. large surplus.
This surplus, to be useful to Amer
lea. must be conserved.
1T must be canned, dried, brined or
stored in the homes of America.
H ome-eonserved food means that the
home VIII be more nearly self-sustain-
ing and that the burden on transporta-
tion will be lightened.
Women who have never canned
should now learn how; women who
know how should prepare to do more.

nesota are taking advantage of the
splendid weather working early and
late cutting their grain. The wheat
harvest is nearly over in some sections
while in other it is only beginning.
The crop on the whole while not a
bumper is of splendid quality and the
yield will be satisfactory, much better
than for number of years. Corn has
not been making any great Roadway
during the past ten days because Of
the cool harvest weather, but it is

splendid crop. Under the circum-
stances the farmers Of Central Min
