They met the future in that mo-
ment and accepted it. Older gener-
ations might have wept or tainted.
But they were going on, going
high.
But Sarah Anne was trying to
tell herself that life without love
could be a splendid thing. There
would be no danger Of hurt. You
would walk calmly. and if there
were no peaks Of ecstasy, there
would be no valleys. After all, one
needed E protection against life
and love, and If adventure was that
armor, she would wear it.
The minister stayed in his study
long time one night. When he
came out, he had a heavy white
envelope, addressed and stamped,
in his hand.

box" he said.
"I'll go with you," Sarah -nne
offered. She knew the contents of
that envelope. They would be much
the same as the phrases she had
written in the superintendent Of

She spoke only once as they
walked down the quiet August

to do with it, but there are some
others who'll say I should have

She made daily jumps that week,
and then there were none for an
other week, because the whole fam
lily went into Chicago where the
case Of Robin-Lynn Rhodes was be-

assured when he was brought into

cupied many commanding posi-

The first court house had been
subsequently enlarged and inn
proved in various ways. Septem-
Der 2, 1890 the sum of $4,000
was appropriated for the pur-
pose of further enlarging the
building, but the action was re-
considered in favor of an entire
ly new structure. $4,000 were
voted for the purpose. The scope
of work grew and the court
house, as it stands now, cost be-
tween $35 900 and $40, 1000. A re-
solution to erect county Jail a
few rods northeast of the court
house was passed by the COM
mittee May 2, 1894 and the bid
approved June 9, 1894. The
building and the heating plant
in the court house were approx
ed February 81, 1895.
School conditions gradually
developed and improved and in
1882 the first high school class
was formed under Superinten-
dent T., U. Hubbard, with an en-
rollment of "a pupils. In 1884
and 1885 it became necessary to
have a larger building and an
addition was built on the west,
making building consisting of
ten rooms. In 1886 the first Glass;.
consisting of five members, was
graduated from high school. The

since that time. He roomed with
Mrs. Luscher and boarded at the

located where the Jail is now.)
Mrs. Luscher had three children,

later. The Exchange Hotel was
run by man named Towsley.
That winter he went to work for
