payments before he had finally been
able to cancel it. This statement must
defeat one of the great historic de
famations of territorial times, and
which even showed its head after
statehood.
In 1872 Deuel. county, u~norgani2ed
and attached to Brookings county FOR
judicial purposes, embraced all of the
region north OF Brookings county to
the north line of the present state. Il
was part OF a legislative district which
comprised all of the Sioux Valley.
There were a few settlers scattered
upon the upper Sioux, along Bigstore
and Lake Traverse and a small settle
lei had sprung up at Gary, anriei-
pating the construction of the North
western railroad through that point to
Lake Kampeska. That autumn the
road was built as far as Gary and the
bed was graded to Kampeska. That
summer r. T. Pettigrew had a sur
veying contract III that region and
spent several months on the upper
Sioux and vas aware of the railroad
building going forward. He returned
home in early September and became
a candidate for the legislature. There
was a virllent political light in prog
ress between the friends of Judges
Moody and Bookings, who were rival
candidates for congress. Early in DC
tober Ole Sampson. a prominent citi-
zen Of Iankton county, acting in the
interest of Judge Moody, passed
through Sioux Falls, en- route to
Brookings county to get the commits
sioners to erect voting precincts in
Deuel. county to enable the settlers
there to vote. Mr.. Pettigrew saw him
and asked him to carry up into Brook
ings and Deuel. tickets with Petit
crews name upon them for the legis-
lature. Sampson consented and Petit
them to him. Evidently they were
the only tickets to reach that region.
When the returns came in it appeared
that 2S2 votes were cast in BroOkingS
and Deuel. counties and practically all
OF them were for P%ettigrew. At that
time ninety days residence constitut-
ed the right to vote and undoubtedly
many of the graders had the technical
right to the ballot. Mr.. Pettigrew as
sures m he neither visited nor in any
wise directly or indirectly communi-
Gated with any II in Deuel. county
except as stated to send tickets there
by Sampson. This is the true story
of the great Deuel. county fraud
which for fifty years has followed Sen
ator Pettigrew. All these years he
has scoffed about it, but as old age
approaches, he. like Judge Moody. has
taken pains that the real Facts be
made known.

trial. In general, regulate the fire as
much as possible by the damper,

to carry it over night, it should be al
most closed. The exact amount the
grid is opened to produce the desired
results can be determined only by

be required only once a day; and then
shake only until the glow Of the fire

How often is a vice merely a

That's the only trouble with mole.
He is the soul of industry-but he
lacks discretion. OF course his
blindness is the direct outcome of
his occupation; it should awake our
understanding sympathy But to
judge by results is the way of the
world.
Why doesn't he confine his ener-
gies to that bane of gardens, the
golden glow, instead of worming his
erring way down your border of
primroses? True, he is cleaning out
the grubs. Still, the grubs would
only half kill them; they must have
bit of top to lay their eggs in
before they finish their brief fling on
the tiniest of moth wings, whereas
he turns up the plants thready little
toes to dry in the air with fatal re-
suits unless you catch them on the
droop and tuck them in again.
On the other hand, he does you
services where no one can rival him.
Do you lay planks for garden paths
to be taken up for the spring
ploughing? They, too, are no un-
mixed blessing; they stable your
toad and a valuable collection of
lizards, but they also house a shock
ing assortment of snails and slugs
and crickets which crawl in as soon
as the ground is too hard for Uncle
Hopper to get after them. The mole

Aunt Ju lived by herself, she fancied
herself something of an invalid and

Barbara started. Harrison West

bilious and prudent, who had taken
no little notice of Barbara for a year
past. Barbara had known him for a
long time. She had known his sister
in school-though she had not liked
Marion West very well-and Aunt
Judith had been close friend of
Mrs. West, who was now dead. Har-
rison and his sister lived together in
a house he had recently bought
where it seemed likely that Barbara
would one day be asked to preside.

not spoken yet.

do that with Aunt Ju- She merely
said: when do you want me to get

''Now-this afternoon. The Mar

It was a long way from Aunt JUS
to the big department store where
Aunt Ju had a check account. In the
dress department she had to sit down
and rest for moment after her
walk, but her eyes were busy. Sud-
denly IL came to her that 1t was 60
ing to be great fun to have carte
blanche like this. Even If she never
had any clothes that were worth
while, she knew what was being worn
and what she liked.
She was standing before a great
triplicate mirror wearing a sparkling
evening gown when she saw a face
behind her that she knew. In the
background stood Marion West, re-
garding her with a strange expression
of astonishment, disapproval and
suspicion. Barbara turned to speak
to her, but before she had gone six
steps Marion had vanished.

bara commented to herself. Then she
went on studying the sparkling
gown.
Aunt Ju was we'll pleased with the
result of Barbara's shopping, and
Barbara, with this and this only for
her reward, went back to her work

fore the day was over she would
come down with cold so severe
that Mr.. Duncan in alarm would send
her home. For a week she was mis-

time she never heard one word OF
Harrison West. It was very strange.
What had happened? She cried
good many times over It; then she
decided that he had not cared after
all, and there was an end OF all her
hopes and her happiness.
Aunt Ju sent her a basket OF fruit,
then away she went Southward, and
Barbara was left to find a cure for
her cold and her heartache as well.
