over him the .ineffaceable convic-

Of that inapposite fineness of

he was an old man that he was
broken in health, that his bullet
wound had left him with a weak
lung. He began to whimper for
money, protesting that the girl
had plenty and that all he needed
was enough to get out Of the
country, to where it was warm
and his cough could be sured.
The listener behind the closed
door could hear the girl promising
him help, protesting she would
give him what she could. The
tones of her voice struck Kestner
as being strangely impetuous and
exalted, as though the conscious
ness Of some great deliverance
had lifted her high above the
things of everyday life. Yet some
thing about the answering voice
Of earliest touched the listener
with disquiet. 1t brought that
listeners ear closer against the
wooden partition, in panic to
catch every sound that might
pass between the couple so COM

was being forced back against the
metal of the bed press, calmly,
vindictively, while Carlesi plainly
deliberated as to the best manner
Of making her prisoner.
The sight of that uneven strug-

all reason. 1t sent a blind surge

CBv l. P. Hannon, Secretary

The fact that we do not agree on some things, must not prevent us rom uniting to work in complete harmony for all those things on which we do agree.
 Seward has potentialities for at tracing tourists to this section, and holding them here, and thru them the capital necessary for development.
 The mission of the Chamber ol Commerce is to advertise seward help those interested to satisfactorily locate here, those uninterested to an interest in the community, and those persons already here to secure ne" and greater business.
 All the difficulties we have hao heretofore or the difficulties for that matter of any other community in the building of a city or business have come from a disregard of the princl- ple of cooperation. Controversies have arisen, been discussed and finally decided. But the decision fought over over, threshed out and reached resentments and even enml ties have remained and the disputants have refused to suppress them in the interests of the common good. It IS human nature probably, but in one of it's petty phases.
 This town will probably have to ad- init that it makes rather more noise about it's differences than most which makes us conspicuous enough that the casual observer might become unduly alarmed. Every business man should sacrifice enough of his time to come to the Chamber of Commerce meetings, meet his fellow townsmen exchange ideas with him and cooper ate with harmony and good nature that will cause our critics to marvel
