Jealousy made my ugly suspicion
about Katherine Miller thrive like a
weed in a warm rain. Baby Barbara
had Katherine's peculiar tint OF blond
loveliness. There was a strange taw-
ny glow in the chfld's skin as well as
in her hair. And Katherine had both
rare beauties. She was truly "a
golden girl" Of the type which drives
artists mad with admiration. The
type Is found but once In decade. |
had never seen the ugerish yellow
tinge of skin except in Katherine and
Baby Barbara.
I chided myself on founding SO
vretched a suspicion on the strange
resemblance. Yet continued to
strengthen my theory with the facts
about the time of Katherine's disap-
pearance from the city and her long
absence. The dates conceded very
oddly with the important dates in
Barbara's short life.
Only rarely had Katherine made Wis
its home in the last few years. 1t
was part of the petty gossip of her
set that she had stayed away because
she couldn't live in peace with her sic
tiers. 1t suddenly occurred to me that
she probably stayed away because
her family didn't approve of her for
some reason they didn't advertise.
None of her girl friends had ever
taken her war work seriously. She
had been overseas, to be sure, but her
dearest" friends agreed that she
must have been more ornamental than
useful in her war activities.
When she had finally come home
to stay. she had selected date when
her family had gone to the mountains.
A time, l told myself, when my pre-
cfous Bob had also come to stay.
knew that 1t was perfectly horrid
of me to piece these bits of gossip to-
gether. but couldn't fail to see that
they fitted each other like sections of
a picture puzzle.

Mother Lorimer had adopted Ben
tie's baby just before Bob went away
to the war, Bob had hunted the child
up and that long hunt had kept him
from enlisting and had therefore add

Bob found the baby after Benjle was
killed but had never revealed the
name Of It's mother. began to sus-

In the winter the child developed
an obstinate cough following the mea-

seas shipment. The unit finally
sailed from Hoboken on the George
Washington Oct. 81 and arrived at
Brest, France, two days before the
signing of the armistice.
Speaking Of Brest, the Doctor
states that before the outbreak of
the war it was considered the poor
est seaport Of France, but with the
taking over of affairs by the Ameri-
cans it is now the largest and most
efficient in the entire country, and
will remain so. DR.. Moynihan is
enthusiastic over the things his
country has accomplished over there.
He says of course there has been
some waste, and probably some
graft, but these things are insight
cant as compared with results.
1.-THE unit of which the Doctor
was member encamped at Brest
for IL days, after which they were
sent clear across France to Belford
on the Alsacian Swiss border. 1t is
not violating military secrets to
state that it was planned to start a
big American drive up the Rhine
Valley in the early Spring, with
Belford as the base of operations.
''Dr. Moynihan states that it will
be absolutely impossible for an
American to visit France under pre-
sent conditions without becoming an
intensified and enthusiastic Ameri-
can. The moral of the American
soldiers-all is a revelation to the
French and the British. Their
comradeship and willingness to go
the limit for each other was beyond
the understanding Of the Allies.
Cdr. Moynihan says the 'Yank"
soldier is an outstanding Individual:
he is clean cut and has the swing
and the pep that would throw the
fear of God into any adversary.
Now that the war is over they are
anxious to get back to their homes.
However, none are complaining
they are willing to serve as long as
their country needs them"
The Captain brought home several
interesting souvenirs-a German
helmet, German sword given him
by a German patient, an iron cross
of the second class, and numerous
other things.

Walter Johnson
Buys Out Partner

Walter Johnson has purchased M r
Cranmer's interest in the johnson &
Cranmer store and will conduct the
establishment under the firm name
of Walter Johnson, successor to
johnson q Cranmer." Mr.. john
sons announcement appears in the
advertising columns of this paper.
Mr.. johnson is we'll known to the
people of this community, having re.
sided and been connected with mer-
camille establishments here for 81
years. On June Z, 1898, he went to
work in the F. ]. Burhyte store, and
when Mr.. Burhyte died about a year
later Mr.. Johnson continued work
for the firm, which, as the Burhyte
estate, was operated under manage
rnent of Mr.. j. H. Johnson, The
following year Mr.. johnson went to
Cannon Falls, Mimi, where he spent
two years in the employ of Meyers &
Johns. He then returned to River
Falls and took a position with the
Allard & Stewart Co., which had
purchased the Burhyte stock of
goods. The next change was back
to the old store under a new name,
where he spent ten and half years
in charge of the clothing and fur
nishing department.
Six years ago, after severing con-
nections with the Stewart Mercan-
tile Co. (Mr. Allard having gone in
to business for himself) Mr.. Johnson
and Mr.. Cranmer formed the john
son q Cranmer firm, which has en-
joyed a splendid patronage, and
through the varied experiences Of
both partners, has maintained a
splendid stock of goods especially
suited to the requirements of this
community Mr.. Johnson's ac-
qualntance with the trade here and
Mr.. Cranmer's wide buying expert
ence has proved valuable combina-
ton, and in concluding the present
transaction Mr.. Johnson assures his
patrons of continuance Of the ben
efits which have been derived from
the old firms buying system.
Mr.. Johnson's many friends in
this community are gratifed over
his new step and have great faith in
his ability to make it splendid sue
cess.
