Bismarck, N. D., Feb, 8.-William
LANCER, former attorney General,
who engaged in series of debates
with A. C. Townley in Kansas, Neb-
raska and Minnesota last summer,
today explained the visit he made to
Townley in Jackson county, Minnesota
Jail early in December. A story pub

called to Mr.. Langer's attention.
"Former County Auditor VIM. E..

the state prison." LANCER said. "He
asked me to help him get out. I in

convinced that Vadnais, who had
been the I. v. A. chairman in Divide

by Nonpartisans. They had promised
him suspended sentence if he pleaded
guilty to charges of misuse of funds
but instead put him in prison. None

Bowbells Tribune:
Goodbye Stef' was not merely
the expression of a few individuals,
but it became the expression of the
entire community on Saturday even
ing when Bowbells and vicinity turned
out en-masse to say goodbye and
good luck" to their friend the editor,
who was about to leave Bowbells after
eleven years of good and faithful
work in their midst.
When it was learned that Mr.. Stef-

leave Bowbells for larger field, the
community spirit asserted itself and
it was decided to give him a rousing
send-off. For this purpose Frater-

ate program of instrumental music,
singing, readings and speeches pre-
pared. The entire community was be-
hind the move and practically all the
people of the town turned out to
shake the editor by the hand and wish
him success in his new field.
The program included music by
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry White, singing by
Mrs. Donovan and Mrs. Hilgendorf,
readings by Helen Bogus, Marie Speer
and Irene Kopriva and several excel
lent selections by Melby's orchestra.
Rev. Father Otto Weisser was
chosen to deliver the speech express
ing the community's appreciation Of
the departing newspaper man. He
said that Mr.. Stefonowicz had helped
to carry the mutual civic burdens here
for eleven years, and that he had
found in him many traits to admire.
He referred to the old truth that often
We do not fully appreciate our
friends until they are gone. A life is
like wonderful painting, said the
reverend father-if we get too close
to it, it looks like q daub, and NJ
have to stand off and view it from a
distance in order to appreciate it's real
worth. In closing, he extended the
community's wishes for future sue
cess, and for the same measure of
friendship and goodwill that has al
ways been manifested here.
In reply, the editor expressed his
deep appreciation of what had beer
done for him, but as he wasn't quite
able to control the vibration of his
voice, the speech was cut rather short
For the rest of the evening the men
took charge of the editor and put
him on the grill, telling him what 8
moose Of fellow he might have
been if it wasn't for his shortcomings
In this line of persiflage "Stef" sus.
tained his reputation and was more
than able to hold his own.
Coffee and lunch were served BY
the ladies and the card tables were
set going, but bit after the young
folks shooed the card players off the
main floor and spent delightful hou,
in dancing.

10 Have Regular
Truck Service

Devils Lake will next summer have
one Of the most efficient long distance
truck services to be found in the state
Franks Transfer and Storage, which
fifm now owns two two-ton trucks.
Will have two more three-ton trucks
Just as soon as the roads are in con-
al5,on Tor travel in the rural diseticts
ana Will make specially of long dis
tarice hauls. 4 regular schedule viii
be adopted and regular trips will ba
made to all the surrouning cities with
IN distance of 100 miles. Stops will
be made between towns tc pick nm
any freight that farmers might want
delivered at any city along the route,
ana IN most cases deliveries can be
MADE by this service as cheap rs thev
can be made by the railroad. The SER
vice will be much more satisfactory
than can be expected from the rail-
roads Tor the reason that the truck
calls at the place from which the
freight is to be meved ana delivers
it to the exact point where 1t is want
ed, and does it in much less time than
can be expected from a railroad. The
breakages are not numerous, ard the
service will save the farmers manv
trips to town during the busy season
Later this firm expects to purchase a
regular moving van, and will then he
able to move furniture for any dis
tance at lower rate than can be done
IN any other way and delivee It in the
best OF condition. This firm will have

time in addition to a number of draw
teams, and will make regular trips
at least once week to Starkweather.

now remembering that description she
could think Of Henry as the only one
who could have been in that house (!

Afterwards. when Alan had been at
tackled upon the street, had Henry
anything to do with that7
Henry had lied % her about being
IN Duluth the night he had fought
with Alan; he had not told her the
true cause OF his quarrels with Uncle
Benny; he had wished her to believe
that Uncle Benny was dead when tha
wedding ring and watch came to her

that because he wished the security

At Petoskey she went nom the train

Henry was In Petoskey, hey would

en- Alan and Uncle Benny; she had
imagined only vague interference and
obstruction of the search for them |:
she had not foreseen that he could so
readily assume charge of the search
and direct, or misdirect, T..
At the Point she discharged the
sledge and went on foot to the HOUSE
Of the caretaker who had charge Of
the Sheriff. cottage during the winter.
Getting the keys from him, she let
herself into the house. Going to her
room, she unpacked a heavy sweater
and wooden cap and short fur coat
winter things which were left there
against use when they opened the
house sometimes out of season-and
put them, on. Then she went down
and found her snowshoes. Stopping
at the telephone, she called long dis
lance and asked them to locate Mr..
Sheriff., If possible, and instruct him
to move south along the shore with
whomever he had with him. She went
out then, and fastened on her snow
shoes.
Constance hurried westward and
then north, following the bend of the
shore The figure of man-one Of
the shore patrols-pacing the ice hum
mocks of the beach and staring out
upon the lake, appeared vaguely in
the dusk when she had gone about
two miles. She came, three quartert
of a mile farther on, to a second man;
about an equal distance beyond she
found a third, but passed him and
went on.
Her legs ached now with the unac-
customed travel upon snowshoes; the
cold, which had been only a piercing
chill at first, was stopping feeling. al
most stopping thought She was hor-
rified TO find that she was growing

first 1t sounded for only two lives it's
kept on beating, but still Is beating
only for four. There were thirty-nine
on the ferry-seven passengers and
thirty-two crew. Twelve have been
saved now; so until the Drum raises
the beats to twenty-seven there IS still
chance that someone will be saved"
Constance watched him with wonder
at the effect of what she had told.
The news of the Drum had shaken
him from his triumph over Alan and
Uncle Benny and over her. 1t had
shaken him so that, though he re-
manned with her some minutes more,
he seemed to have forgotten the pur-
pose of reconciliation with her which
had brough. him to the house.
She dined, or made pretence Of din
ing, with her mother at seven. Her
mothers voice went on and on about
trifies, and Constance did not try to
pay attention. Her thought was fol-
lowing Henry with ever-sharpening ap-
prehension. She called the office In
mid-evening; it would be open, she
knew, for messages regarding Uncle
Benny and Alan would be expected
there. A clerk answered. no other
news had been received; she then
asked Henry's whereabouts.
"Mr. Spearman went north late this
afternoon, Miss Sheriff." the clerk
informed her.
NORTH WhereH
1--WE are to communicate with him
this evening to Grand Rapids; after
that, to Petoskey."
Constance could hear her own heart
beat. Why had Henry gone, she Won
dered; not, certainly, to aid the
search. He had gone to-hinder itl

telephone. Henry Strengthened, u.s.
tened; as the voice stopped, his great,
finely-shaped head sank between his
shoulders; he fumbled in his pocket
for cigar, and his big hands shook
as he lighted 1t, without word Of ex-
cuse to her. A strange feeling came to
her that he felt what he dreaded ap-
preaching and was no longer conscious
Of her presence.
She heard footsteps In the larger
room coming toward the office door.
Henry was In suspense A rap came
at the door. He whitened, and wet his
lips.
Come in," he summoned.
One of the office girls entered, bring
ing white page Of paper with three
or four lines of purple typewriting up
on 1t which Constance recognized must
be transcript of a message just re-
ceived.
She started forward at sight of 1t,
forgetting everything else; but he took
the paper as though he did not know
she was there He merely held it IN
til the girl had gone out; even then
he stood folding and unfolding 1t, and
his eyes did not drop to the sheet.
The girl had said nothing at all but,
having seen her, Constance was
athrill; the girl had not been a bearer
of bad news that was sure; she
brought some sort of good news Con-
stance, certain of it, moved nearer to
Henry to read what he held. He looked
down and read.
"What Is it, Henry?"
His muscular reaction, as he read,
had drawn the sheet away from her;
he recovered himself almost instantly
and gave the paper to her.
IS :35 a. M, Manitowoc, Wis.," she
read. 1.-THE schooner Anna S. Solwerk

She is not close enough for communi-
cation, but two lifeboats, additional to
her own, can be plainly made out. 1t
is believed that she must have picked
no wireless, so is unable to report.
Tugs are going to her."
1.-TWO lifeboats !" Constance cried.
THAT could mean that they all are
saved or nearly all; doesn't 1t, Hen
ry; doesn't it?"
He had read some other significance
in IT, she thought, or, from his greater
understanding Of conditions in the |
storm he had been able TO hold ne /.
nope from what had been reported. |
That was the only way she could ex-
plain TO herself Ms he replied to her; |
