It was indeed a great tacri Bee to I dufirtwrt nf the society of his enly cliild. Bitt this ke would under go, for the. love of woman, regardless of the fu tune weTfiire of tils daughter.

If he uould have seen what wan in store for bin child, In future, II he could have mien the great trouble that was to be here, if he could have ueen the still greator trouble that i yet to come to thiKonce bright, Inuocentaud loveable littie Edna, his courne uiigbt have been ditt'erent, but probably not, aa the j love if wouiun iH a great power, she, j with her great magnetic force, will draw Mian unto her regardless of the power of other ties, and an i ton often the ease only to spurn advances of af fection in after years. It living just after the great financial ptuile of 1878, Mrs. Young, Mr. Lund's sister, -wus .unable .to .dispone of her I i homestead, consequently Mr. Lund, j with the additional expense oil his haudt, soon found that he would be unaJjlc to.maintaiu his daughter at a hoardlng.Bchool as was hie desire. To add to Jill) already troubled mind, be was forcibly reminded of Uncle Ned's predictions, .when hesald, "Mar's Jack, yo' alio' jjwhie ter hev iter shell out deut hlneya. Missus Ader doue got Mafe Mac tied hard iter her apurn strlii1 an' little Edner won' nebcr git er-nactt' h um Jier par ter buy er pet coon," While Mr. Latimer had, ou condiUuu, settled a small. farm ou lils daughter, .there was no available meajis. The. farm would barely pay its own .tanes, and has Dot uutil tbil day been of any benefit to Edna Lati mer, and may never be, as the ooudi lionn stipulated In the conveyance from Mr, Latimer to his daughter were vlo lated . J will hereafter give the condi tions specified, In the deed, and uianner in which little I'.dnu disobeyed its uiaudaiea. While Mr, Lund owned ooubicerable property' ,iu Kentucky, he was not able to realiwon It, aud to make natters worse late jiurcuaaete of his Nebraska farm wene not able Ao meet the pay ments, la eouseo.ueuee of which Mr. Lund wtmoonipelledio take the farm back.

These conditions sorely trouble d Mr. Lund, as his highest am bition was that his daughter should react), the highest accomplishments, butti In literature, music and art. The narelatlnn that had Just dawned upon torn was another thorn in hl side; it was that the education and care of Edna Latimer was thrust upon him. But he, with bis great, manly heart, grasped the situation manfully and resolved that his own daughter should not have any advantages over his pro tege. After Mr. Lund looked the situation thoroughly over and had discussed the pros aud cons with his sister, it was de cided to advertise for a competent tutor, and have the girls educated at borne; so In a few days the following appeared In a Chicago paper: WANTED A competent teach er, to teach two little girls at home.

I told you attlieeommencenient of this story that 1 would have to go into de ntils. It may seem that the closing of tiie foregoing chapter would have no bearing on tiie cuse, tint wait and see. 1 promised that 1 would boil this story down, and the short ness of the chattels prove that 1 am doing all I can to faltill this promise. 1 was sev eral years gathering these facts, but I nro- rise to tell it in less time. If'I seem tedious will have to ask you to bear with me. if I fail to interest you, dear reader, it will lie for lock of ability and not for the lack of an interesting Btiliject.

THE TOI.K1IO WEEKLY liLADli Ad1 Hook Containing at tiie Nasby Letters for One Dollar. "In answer to a general demand from all parts of the United States, the Toledo Blade has published In one vol ume, cloth hound, all of the "Nanny Letters" ever written by the late 1). II. Locke, omitting perhaps a few un important letters on local or forgotten topics. Only a few of these lettei-s were ever published in book form. Everybody has read some of them, but w ho has read all of them? The book contains over 500 large pages, aud all the Nasby Letters written during a period of twenty-five years; also a por trait of D. R. Locke from Ids last pho tograph. It would sell at one dollar or more, but will never be placed nn sale. One hundred thousand copies are now being prluted and bound, and one copy will be sent post-paid by mall free to every person who this winter remits one dollar for the Weekly Blade ou year. Everybody invited to send for specimen copy of the Weekly Blade, which will give a full descrip tion of the book "The Nasby Letters." The Toledo Weekly Blade is the best and most popular weekly newspaper published in this country. It has the largest circulation of any weekly news paper, and goes W every State, Terrh tnry and nearly every county uf the Union. Only one dollar a year, includ ing the above mentioned bouk free. Send postal to The Blade, Toledo, Ohio, for a free specimen copy of tbe paper. . Send the addresses' of your frieeda also. B. S.

This communication did not reach ns till just at we were going to press last week. Mumps. Schools. Circus. Districts. Political outlook. Sensational poverty: Development of the! riftwn town mystery. Mumps have closed the jaws of a few and we fear they are made on the "Alliance plan" for the masses. The only jaws to escape are "tbe jaws of death" (and a few family jaws). The birch or (s)witch hazel is once more wielded by Prof. Jackson, M. D., in the new tabernacle erected last sum mer under the auspices nf Elder Hutton. The Hon. James Brown gave a free entertainment in the form of a magic lantern show, last week, to the elite of this place. He has many pictures that are easily recocnized one bears a strong resemblance to Lebanon's ac commodating P. M.; another to the Waterloo Kecoroer at his duties. There seems to be a strong feeling In Dist. 66 of burning a prominent county official in effigy. His arduous duties cause him tn make four changes in said district in less than a year. Pro vided tiie other districts are favored with his aid in like manner, school teachers will be above par next year. The judges and clerks of election have been appointed by the Town Council, and the first Monday of De cember fur and votes will fly for official and honorary offices in Waterloo. Waterloo is original if nothing else. One of our esteemed denizens wrote to prominent public servants throughout the state, informing them that 15 fam ilies in our town were in a starving condition, aud praying for assistance, A gentleman of Salem responded by a Wells, Fargo order for 115.00; but here the beautiful ends and the hog crops forth; instead of catering to the wants of said 15 families he spent it for purple and tine linen to grace his own long back. The mystery deepens as regards the factory ghost. Those posted claim tn have seen a shadowy form flitting to and fro among the spindles, and vaguely hint at strange noises groans and screeches (emanating from the jacks no doubt). Mr. H. performs bin duties as night-watch, and a smile passes fleetlngly over his countenance at mention of his ghostship. Saturday night the "Consolidated Waterloo Ditch, Milling, Power, Elec tric, Gas, Motor, and Bankrupt Co." hold their first meeting, to elect a pres ident and directors for the ensuing year. Work will commence next week (maybe), Mr. C. Bruce has been engaged to board tbe bands who can not find lodging at the "Soup House." Mr. C. Oakley is Improving in health. Mr. Fairbanks is suffering with typhoid; while we learn as going to press, Miss. R. A. Gross has con tracted the same dread fever. It seems we are to be visited with all foreign and domestic diseases. Had we thought of this, we would not have Joined the great army of corre spondents, as the gifted are persecuted and prosecuted first. There has been quite a rattling of dry (and green) bones since the new marshal (A. Shepherd) took the helm. An exodus occurred, one Hod. being among the first to go; be is supposed to be on "Camas Flat," digging spuds for Elder Wayback. Our featier-wejght is with him, while Sullivan once more is seep about .town. The changes, in real life here equal J. Brown's pano rama of past events. 6. A., we know the writer of that serial. , C.
