thoughtfully at the name Of his horse.

Next day letter came from Doctor
Allen. telling him that Ann was far
gone with a dangerous fever. Both
Abe and Harry dropped their work
and went home. Ann was too sick to
see her lover.
The little village was very quiet
those hot summer days. The sorrow
of the pretty maiden had touched the
hearts of the simple kindly folk who
lived there. For year or more there
had been a tender note In their voices
when they spoke Of Ann. They had
learned with great gladness Of her en-
gagement to marry Abe. The whole
community were as one family with
its favorite daughter about to be
crowned with good fortune, greater
than she knew. Now that she was
stricken down, their feeling was more
than sympathy. The love Of justice,
the desire to see q great wrong
righted, in a measure, was in their
hearts when they sought news Of the
little sufferer at the tavern.
There was no shouting In the street,
no storytelling in the dooryards, no
testing In the stores and houses, no
merry parties, gladdened by the notes
Of the violin, in the days and nights
Of AIMS long Illness.
Samson writes in his diary that Abe
went about like man in dream,
with no heart for work or study. He
spent much time at the Doctors Office,
feeling for some straw Of hope.
One day late in August, as he stood
talking with Samson Traylor in the
street, Doctor Allen called him from
his doorstep. Abe turned very pale
as he obeyed the summons.

may be better than medicine. Who
knows?"
The two men went across to thu
tavern. Mrs. Rutledge and Abe tip
toed up the stairway. The latter en-
tered the room Of the sick girl. Thu
woman closed the door. Ann Rut

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

When it comes to alertness and
penspfcuity you've got to hand it to
the Blackfoot bunch.
Here's a breezy interview with
one of the boosters from the Grove
City, and the logic of it is, to say
the least, startling; it's perfectly
new discovery as far as the railway
situation is concerned:
II like the new Dubois Project
idea; it is going to win; not only
that but it will put the old Dubois
Project idea through also. Every
one l have talked to seems to agree
to this. You cannot separate your
new project from the American Falls
dam project without badly threaten
ing the success of the latter. Now
suppose you get both projects thru,
and I think you will, it will start
grain and alfalfa fields from Dubois
clear to Blackfoot. Right there is
where Blackfoot comes in on the
railway proposition.
| "Get a state map. There! Now
just notice something. Draw a line
from Blackifoot to Dubois. It's as
straight ais string, it runs through
the heart of the two projects and
here's the big surprise it's only Ga
miles in length, while over the pres
emit main line of the o. S. L. the dis
lance is IS miles. Would the Short
Line like to cut the Pocatello-Butte
distance by II miles? I'll testify
that they will.
'Now you people are awfully fond
of telling your Idaho Falls friends
that they will quietly inherit the
project commerce. We have put
$500 behind the Dubois project
and all kinds of publicity and so far
those people have not given you a
pleasant smile, but that does not
seem to effect your tender regard for
them. Draw lime now from Idaho
Falls to Dubois through the projects.
It's precisely 81 miles long. Dis
ta,nce, Dubois to Pocatello via pro-
jact areas and Idaho Falls, 112
miles. Same thing via Blackfoot is
80 miles long; difference % miles.
Figure it out for yourself.
'You will get the projects; that
will bring the railway and partly
because it's logical and PARTLY be-
cause the settlers know we helped
them with money and will appre-
ciate the fact, Blackfoot will get the
terminal of the new line. Bonnie
vile county will get more irrigation
but Blackfoot gets the commerce.
Don't forget it,"
At this juncture the Blackfoot
booster bolted from the Enterprise
Banner office, aIccosted casual Pc
destrian, sold him a sweater, pot
of glue and dozen large safety pins
grabbed the cash and made dash
for the southbound train. We shout
ed to him to leave his name with us
and waving goodbye he answered
"And remember it will only be Ga
miles home via the new line
EDITORS NOTE-While no com
mercial bodies in Idaho Falls have
helped financially they have been in
terested; and the Bonneville Count,
Commissioners are now making ev
cry effort to put $1,000 behind thu
project. Aside from this the Idaho
Falls papers have given us invalu
able publicity and lots of it.-Clarl

that served General Benedict Arnold's
staff officers whenever they unlocked

Exploration committee Of the New
York Historical society, it was learned
recently.
The key check probably assisted the
traitorous Arnold the night he re-
moved military plans from West Point
and came down the Hudson to meet
Major Andre Of the British. 1t was
found in the ruins Of an old house in
Brooklyn and with it were about two
dozen copper coins of the stamp Of
George III and George. III. Arnold, 1T

continental army lived in New York as

one eighth of an inch thick, and about
three inches long. On one side is

other, Con Army"
