knew, too, that he wanted Elizabeth
for his wife.
"You're foolish not to take him"
they said. 1--WE all know you have

he'd proposed any number Of times"

nothing out of her.
Once some of them spoke to How

1--WE wish you two would get mar

Howard smiled.
Its up to Elizabeth" he said.
One woman spoke to Elizabeth one
day in q very serious fashion.
'The trouble with you," the woman
said. "is that you've always had 50
much attention. Not only Howard,
but everyone has been charmed by
you, and you think that will 60 on to

mOre-I think lot more of a person
who is faithful to someone they've
loved than to marry for the sake of
marrying. Lots of the "Old maids
are that. Some Of the married ones
have been so afraid they'd be thought
unpopular and unwanted that they've
married out of sheer cowardice."
This was very puzzling. Had Eliz-
abeth loved someone in her earlier
days-perhaps when she had gone
away on visit? No one knew. But
everyone was puzzled. So much puz-
zled that they asked no more ques-
lions. They stopped telling her she
should marry Howard. They stopped
telling her what wonderful husband
he would make, and how much he
loved her.
They were specializing on which Wis.
it it could have been when the trag.
edy occurred. And had the mysteri-
GUS man married or had he been al
ready married and so Elizabeth, as
a nice, quiet girl had quickly taken
herself home and out of the way?
1t was showing hard. Elizabeth
was getting together her Christmas
presents when the door bell rang.
Outside stood Howard.
II thought perhaps you'd not mind
If went with you when you took

How lovely it was outside. The
snow was falling, the air was so clear
and cool, and here was Howard, 50

days Marian planned her Christmas
dinner. She sailed nuts, she made
cranberry sauce. She ordered a fine
young turkey. She wasn't nervous
about the turkey-that was just about
as easy as chicken.
Yes, she was planning to. have the
old-time Christmas dinner. She
wouldn't tell Bert. She would sur
prise him. And then, if she did tell
him, she might be more nervous about
the things she had planned to do, feel
ing that he was going to be so proud
of her that she couldn't fulfill hisex-
pectatiOns Of her success.
So she worked and planned and
schemed.
And that Christmas eve when Bert
kissed her goodnight she smiled to
herself as she heard him say:
"Well, it's quite true. People have
always eaten too much at Christmas
time in past years.
Bert's family all arrived in due sea-
son for Christmas dinner.
"Well, were you nervous over your
first turkey?" asked Aunt Emilina.
And how happy Marian was that she
could say that she hadn't been nerv-
GUS and that it was going to come out
all right, she thought.
II bet it was a job making your
first plum pudding said Uncle
George, and Bert looked angry and
grieved. He didn't want anyone to
make his MarianSfeel uncomfortable.
And now his own family were doing it.
"Uncle George" Bert said, tive

to have one of those old-time din
ners. We think that people have al
ways felt wretchedly at Christmas, and

So we're just going to, have a nice
; simple dinner"
Marian had left the room now. But
she could hear the defending note in
Bert's voice, and at the same time a
note of sadness that their dinner was
going to be so simple.
She wanted to rush In now and tell
them all that it wouldn't be so simple
and to put her arms around Bert's

T JR BUYER
STlNGS TRAPPIERRS
MAKES DEPOSIT AT LOCAL BANK,
WRITES CHECKS AND THEN
WITHDRAWS FUNDS

Two Belle Prairie trappers, VIM
Young and f. Sweeney, were the vic
tins of a smooth crook the latter part
of last week. A man giving his name
as Frank Hartman and his address
as 36 No. Eleventh ST., Minneapolis,
purchased furs from them and gave
them checks for same drawn on the
Commercial State bank of this city.
/, Evidently the man had been working
the same game in other places, as Sher-
if Felix on Tuesday was notified of
the arrest of the fur buyer at La
Crosse, Wis, at the instance Of author
tiles of Koochiching county, this state,
charged with fraud in fur deals involv-
ing about $500. Sheriff Felix also re-
ceived letter from Hartman stating
that he wished to make good the
amount of the checks and square up
for what wrong he had done. This
letter has been turned over to County
Attorney Cameron to be used as \cvi-
dence against him.
The fur buyer deposited $500 at tho
Commercial State bank here early
Thursday morning of last week. Late
in the afternoon of the same day, he
returned to the bank and drew out all
but $25, which he said he left to take
care of check for $17 given to Mr..
Sweeney. When the checks came in
they proved to be much larger, Swccn-
cy's being for $+5 and Young's for
$45.35. Another party tclephoned the
bank about his check, saying that he
had one for Sc. The last mentioned
checks was not c;tshed.
One of the check victims instituted
garnishcc proceedings to obtain the
$25 on deposit, so that he will suffer
only partial loss but the loss to tho
others is complete. ~
