Preparations are practically com
pleted for one of the greatest after
harvest farm shows and festivals
ever offered Northwestern farmers
and for four days, November 15
to 18, South St. Paul will be the
mecca of great crowds of farmer*
and their families from all parts of
Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and
South Dakota, Iowa and Montana.
For on these days will be held the
fourth annual Northwestern Live
stock show and, in conjunction
with it, the first annual Northwest
ern Corn and Grain show.
Plans for this year's exposition
at the great home market of the
Northwest are far in advance of
anything ever attempted here be
fore and the fact that entries in all
departments this year will be many
times greater in number than at
any previous show makes it certain
that the show this year will be of
far greater interest and value ed
ucationally to visitors.
We move stove9 and repair them
if anything goes wrong.

The Norhtwestern is not intended
as a money-making institution and
is supported entirely by voluntary
contributions of stockmen and busi
ness men of the territory tributary
to the market who believe that it is
one of the best means of spreading
the gospel of good farming that it
is possible to devise. The admis
sion fee to the show is therefore
only a nominal one and the oppor
tunity to share in the benefit of the
displays and lectures is open too
all. That these benefits may be ac
corded those most in need of them
and as a means of interesting farm
ers who have never exhibited at any
show outside their own locality or
county, the management has set a
side a very liberal proportion of
the $10,COO offered in premiums to
be given to amateur exhibitors and
from this competition all profes
sional breeders and exhibitors who
have entered stock at state fairs
and like expositions will be barred.

of ALL we have to offer, so we just
invite you to come in and look for

bought.
Farmers are encouraged to offer
their products as the experience
gained will be highly beneficial
and will pave the way for success
later even though it is not scored
this year.
The fact that there is always a
ready market for livestock of all
kinds at South St. Paul insures an
opportunity to sell all stock at the
conclusion of the show at good
market prices.
The show this year has a new and
substantial home, housing facilities
having been provided for all exhib
its. The show now enjoys the dis
tinction of being the only one of its
kind in the country to offer all its
attractions under cover. Car load
entries of livestock which have
heretofore been shown in the stock
yards will be shown displayed in
a sheltered building, feature a that
will appeal to both exhibitors and
spectators. The show ring and
pavilhon has been enlarged and its
capacity doubled in line with the
general enlargement of the show.
The management has prepared a
list of lectures to be delivered by
leading speakers on farm topics
from all parts of the country.
These lectures in coniunction
with the displays of stock and
grain will constitute an educational
feature of far greater value to any
farmer than the money it will cost
to journey to South St. Paul to hear
and see. Several counties of the
Northwestern states will make dis
plays of their products and these
will be both interesting and in
struc ive.
During the week of the show the
annual meeting of the Minnesota
Field Crop Breeders' association
will be held at South St. Paul and
also that of the Minnesota Live
tock Breeders' association. Enter
tainment features and music will
oe provided so that visitors may
not feel disappointed in any sense in
attending the show.
On Thursday evening^ all* exhibi
tors at the stock show *and at the
corn and grain show will be enter
tained at the annual banquet atethe
Merchants hotel, St. Paul, given by
the Northwestern Livestock associa
tion. Ihis will be one of the big
events and will come at the conclu
sion of the judging of the s'ock.
A capable and impartial list of
judges has been secured to award
the money and trophies and every
exhibitor will be given an absolute
ly fair deal at South St .Paul.
A good attendance is all that is
now needed to make the Northwest

cess in its history. It is up to the
farmers and their families through

John E. Saintsbury died at his home
in Davenport, la., two years ago. His
will gave his widow a life interest
in the estate, which at her death was
to pass entire to their daughter Ethel
then seventeen years old The prop
erty consisted of a comfortable house.
a business that paid a fair income and
an incipient lawsuit against a firm of
brokers in New York through which
JMr. Saintsbury had secretly gambled
in stocks.
The New York firm was appaiently
evading the payment of a considerable
"I WILL ASK THEM MYSELF." SAID RED
MOND
sum. Mr. Saintsbury bad been con
sistently unlucky for a long time, but
had come at last to that change of for
tune which is not impossible even in a
game where the odds against the
player are so monstrous as they are in
Wall street His sudden winnings,
even on paper, did not equal his pro
tracted losses, but they amounted to
many thousands of dollars, and when
Mr Saintsbury perceived that he was
likely to be cheated of this money he
suffered a nervous shock which had
much to do with his death.
This whole matter was a close se
cret Nobody in Davenport knew any
thing about it except Mr Saintsbury
and a lawyer After Mr. Saintsbury's
death the lawyer went to New York
and attempted to collect the sura that
was due. Failing to get immediate ac
tion, he left tbe matter in charge of a
New York lawyer and returned to
Davenport.
The New York lawyer played a slow
and quiet game, not daring to proceed
openly in the (ourts for fear of wreck
ing the brokers, in which event their
creditors would have got about a ceut
on the dollar But in the course of time
the conditiou of the brokers' firm im
proved, and at last it seemed best that
Mrs. Saintsbury should go to New
York and that proceedings should be
begun in earnest.
Accordingly Mrs. Saintsbury and
Ethel set forth for the metropolis
None of their friends knew the ieal
cause of their journey
Ethel Saintsbury had now passed her
nineteenth birthday. She was a girl of
superioi mental power, a brilliant and
diligent student, with a somewhat mas
culine aptitude for science and math
ematics-
When the mother and daughter
reached New York they went at once
to a small hotel where apartments had
been engaged for them The rooms
were at the rear, and the windows
looked out upon the backs of houses
in the ne^t street
Jt was ordained that Ethel Saints
bury should have leisure to contem
plate the view that has been' men
tioned, for in alighting from her car
riage at the door she turned her ankle
in very painful fashion, so that she
was unable to walk for ten days.
For this reason the business which
had brought them to New York was
transacted chiefly in the ladies* apart
ment Thither came the lawyer who
was in charge of the case, and thither
came also a young gentleman named
Dudley Wayne, who used to be known
as "Deadly" Wayne when he played
football for Harvard some years ago
He is now an assistant district attor
ney of New York, and he was called
into the discussion because certain
acts of the brokers' firm aforemention
ed seemed to have a criminal aspect.
Doubtless there was as handsome
and as worthy fellows in Davenport,
but Ethel Saintsbury had been blind
to their merits. Dudley Wayne took
hpr by surprise. She had not supposed
tbre were any men like him. She
was in love with him before she knew
it
Wayne meanwhile had progressed
ever further. He knew that he was
crazy. He fould see Miss Saintsbury
sitting in the chair** in hi* office: she
waited for him at every turn of bis
daily path, and alone in bis rooms he
talked with her two hours every night
before he went to bed
On a c-rtam loreuoon Mrs. Saints
bury went shopping, and in one of the
stores she met an old acquaintance.
Tins was a Mrs Lowell of Davenport,
a widow with abundant means and a
child \md joy in hung. She greet
ed Mrs. Saintsbury with enthusiasm.
"I've been in New York a week,"
said she "1 came up from Palm
Beach to meet my sou. He returned
trotn abioad this morning"
Mis Saintsbury knew that young
Mr. Lowell had been in Italy studying
music, for which art he was supposed
to have unusual gifts
"1 have invited some people for this
evening—mostly musical people, of
course," continued Mrs. Lowell. "You
and Ethel must come."
Asa result of this chance encounter
Mrs. Saintsbury and her daughter went
out lor the first time in the evening
since their arrival in New York.
About 9:30 of the evening Ethel
Saintsbury and Arthur Lowell sat in a
corner ,of the ornate drawing room.
Lowell, who was a creature of en
thusiasm and superlatives, was telling
about a wonderful man whom he had
met abroad and had had as a compan
ion of the voyage across This gentle
man's name was Redmond, and he
possessed miraculous powers of divina
tion
"I hope he'll come." said Lowell for
the tenth time
"Did he tell your fortune?" asked
Miss Saintsbury. whose disbelief in
psjehie marvels was based upon the
firm rock of scientific education.
"Rather!" exclaimed Lowell. "He
read me through and through." And he
proceeded to give details of the usual
sort—such things as may be read at a
glance by any shrewd and practical
man In the midst of this recital Red
mond arrived.
"Look at him," whispered Lowell.
"Wouldn't you know that he was a
wonder? See how queeriy his black
hair is spotted with gray. Somebody
on the ship said that an angel had laid
her hand on Redmond's head and left
the print of her fingers. Doesn't it
look so?"
"Yes," said Miss SaiDtsbury. "But it
didn't happen."
"Oh. you're a skeptic. You don't be
lieve in anything."
"I believe in nothing except the
scientific method, and only very mod
erately in that."
"You'll believe in my friend Red
mond if you ever give him a chance
to convince you."
In view of vthfe situation nobody will
be surprised to learn that Redmond
got bis chance.
It is only just to say that Redmond
bore no likeness to the conventional
dabbler in wonders. His manner was
easy and natural, recognizably British
yet softened by contact with conti
nental society. He did not thrust
his special gift upon the attention of
others, but he showed no embarrass
ment about it. When Lowell urged
an immediate annihilation of Miss
Saintsbury's skepticism Redmond
smiled at his friend's impetuosity and
agreed to do his best.
They were seated in a large bay
window and partly shielded from the
observation of the other guests. Red
mond took the girl's right hand by the
tips of the fingers and looked steadily
into her eyes
"Perhaps." said he, "as we have only
a few minutes you would like to ask
me some direct test questions
It was the idea that had been in her
mind, but she perversely denied hav
ing any such desire.
"I will ask them myself," said Red
mond, with a smile. "First, why have
you come to New York? Second, what
have you done since you came? Third,
what is it that you think me least
likely to know?"
"My word!" said Lowell under his
breath "That last question is a
poser
"With your permission?" said Red
mond, and the girl inclined her head.
"I must be very brief, for I see that
we shall be interrupted almost imme
diately. You have come to New York
upon a legal matter which in some
of its aspects touches not only the
civil but the criminal statutes. Since
you came here you have been very
quiet, because you sprained your right
ankle on the day of your arrival. The
matter which you think me least likely
to kuow— Shall I proceed?"
"Yes." said she. but not without ex
citement.
"It is your interest in a tall young
man of the blond type." He glanced
over his shoulder and saw that he had
but a few moments more in which to
speak. "I foresee much happiness for
you in the direction I have indicated."
he continued. "But I feel bound to
warn you that the young man stands
in some peril. Let him guard himself
carefully against a man about forty
years old, of medium height and very
hea". ily built. This man has short,
curly, iron gray hair. He has a scar
passing diagonally downward across
his right eyebrow and appearing upon
the cheek"—
"Mr Redmond"—it was Mrs. Lowell
who spoke—"you will sing for us
now?"
"With pleasure," he replied and de
parted with his hostess.
"What do you think of my friend
Redmond now?" said Lowell. "Isn't he
marvelous?"
"1 have not made up my mind about
Mr. Redmond." said she, "but my po
sition in regard to all fortune telling,
mind reading and kindred marvels is
wholly unchanged. I do not in the
least believe in them."
"But did he tell you the truth?"
"In confidence, my friend, he did. Is
there a telephone in this suit that 1
could use privately at onceT'T
"You mean to warn"—
"Precisely."
Five minutes lat'er she was in com
munication with the bachelor apart
ment house where Dudley Wayne
lived. The young man had been out
all the evening, but while Miss Saints
bury was leaving a message that he
should call her up be came in. To him
by telephone she told exactly what
had happened. Wayne was amazed.
"I know the fellow that Mr. Red
mond described." said be. "1 sent him
to jail about two years ago."
"Has be got out?"
"I don't know. As I remember, it
would be about this time. And it's
a fact that he made some threats. b"r.
don't worry. He can't hurt me."
"Be careful Oh Dudley, be careful'
Mr. Redmond must have information.
This fortune telling is nonsense, of
course."
"Well. I don't know." responded
Dudley. "It's the best of its kind that
ever 1 beard of. How could he have
known our secret, our blessed secret
that is not twelve hours old? Have
you told your mother?"
"No, not yet. Come to me tomorrow
as early as you can, and please, please
be careful."
Wayne went up to his apartment,
having a strong impression of the mi
raculous upon his mind. He bad spo
ken his first word of love to Ethel
that afternoon.
When he opened the outer door of
Ids little suit he noticed that all was
•lark. Yet he knew that he had left
a small light in the private hall and
another in the sitting room, which was
at the end of the passage. Under ordi
nary circumstances he would not have
given the matter a second thought, but
the words which he had just heard
were still in his ears, a dear voice bid
ding him presen himself from peril.
Instead of passing through the hall
*o the sitting room he softly entered
the bedroom and crept across it to the
curtained doorway. Silently he drew
aside the curtain and looked in. A
dim figure was crouching by the hall
door, and something gleamed faintly
in its hand
There was a revolver in a drawer of
the dressing table. Wayne turned to
ward the place, and the floor creaked
under his weight. Instantly the mai,
who was lurking in the other room,
rushed in upon him, but Wayne was*
ready. He evaded the knife thrusts*
and,struck the assailant down with his.
cane. The man fell forward, then roll
ed heavily upon his back and lay still
Wayne sprang to the button that con
trolled the lights, and the electric
lamps flashed Wayne looked down
upon a face that he remembered—the
face of a convict, a man about forty
years old. with curly gray hair and
a scar across his eye.
Perhaps if the affair had taken a less
serious turn Mr Redmond might have
veiled his share of it in the mysteries
of occult science, but when summoned
to the district attorney's office to ex
plain his advance knowledge of an
intended homicide he told the truth
with exemplary frankness.
Shortly after landing from the steam
er he had gone to the apartments of
a friend, a young Englishman resident
but a few months in this country.
This man's windows looked directly
across at those of the Saintsbury's. and
he had naturally glanced over at the
pretty girl with the sprained ankle.
He had seen a man who looked like a
lawyer in tbe room and the signing of
A FACE THAT HE REMEMBERED.
legal papers he had observed Wayne's
visits and had chanced to learn who
he was.
Redmond on the afternoon which
he had spent with his friend had seen
Wayne kneel beside Miss Saintsbury's
chair and kiss her hand, the gentle cli
max of their first love episode. Later.
on the street, he had encountered
Wayne and had observed him with a
natural interest. And, having eyes that
were keener than an eagle's. Redmond
had remarked the sinister figure of the
convict slouching upon Wayne's trail.
In European capitals, as an attache of
embassies, he had seen much of that
sort of thing, and he knew that it
meant mischief. Therefore he wel
comed the opportunity to put the
threatened man upon his guard
through the agency of the woman who
loved him. and if he had not been in
vited to tell Miss Saintsbury's fortune
he would have disclosed what he knew
in the ordinary way of conversation.
"Goodmen" and "Goodwomen."
A pleasing form of address that was
common in the seventeenth century
has gone quite out of use, probably
because of its restriction to "inferior
persons." The "Mr" was then a pre
fix to which only gentlemen were en
titled, and among the puritan fathers
of N3W England the deprivation of the
right to be so addressed was inflict
ed as a punishment. "Goodman"
or "Goodwoman," by contraction
"Goody," was the address of those low
in the social scale. The term is pre
served in some old songs. London
