Pi 3 nj-AOAV* i.«*w*ii 5 \f.il**' The members of the dialogue entitled, "Fun in the Photograph Gallery," had their picture taken at the Rembraht studio last Wednesday. A week ago Saturday the Seminary basket ball team journeyed to Granite Falls, and trimmed up the team of that place by a score of 2o to 27. The Senior History examination re cently, proved to be a stiff proposition to a large majority of the History class at the W. S. No advance notice about this examination was given, which was a great drawback that the class had to contend with. The social given Saturday evening was well attended, most of the students being- present, aal well as some outsider* Mr. Kudolpn Larson was master of ceremonies. The program given by the Osseo lit erary society, last Tuesday evening drew a twenty-four dollar house. The program was good, and well appreciat ed by the audience. One of the down-town barbers evi dently mistook a bunch of W. S. stud ents for transients, and consequently charged them accordingly for his serv ices. We are glad to state that he found out his error, but that does not rectify it. The boy's glee club practiced Wed nesday afternoon. The Osseo members had a short bus iness meeting Friday, when different committees were elected to make up a program, serve refreshments, and dec orate the chapel for the 22nd of Febru ary program and reception. Last Saturday the monthly tests were given in all the courses. Harry Nelson spent Sunday at his home in Arctander. Mr. Lagrippe from nowhere in partic ular has at the present writing quite a few Seminary students in his strong grip. His favorite hold seems to be the well known throat hold from which es cape is almost impossible, until he lets «TO. It's pretty difficult to hook up to the right one in the dark but that is what the stags had to do Saturday evening, when the lights did not work out in the hall. The Seminary felt more like an factory than a knowledge iactory, Fri day. The basket ball game between the Seminary team and Co. H, National Guard team of Olivia was a fast arid hard fought affair from start to finish. The score was 15 to 20 in favor of the enemy. The regular teachers' examination that has been given in February, will not be given at all this year. The main reason why it has been dropped out as Car as we could learn, is, according to the State Department of Education, that they could find no place in the state capitol to read the papers, because the legislature is in session now, which seems to indicate that our new state capitol is too small. These examina tions as now given, look more like a farce than anything else. We hope to see the time when the state legislature will set definite dates for these exam inations, and not leave it entirely to the discretion of the State Dept. of Educa tion, whether they shall be given now, then, or not at all.

The Root of Evil By THOMAS DIXO N Copyright. 1011. by Thomas Dixon CHAPTER XX. The Tampter's Voice. GAINST his judgment Stuart allowed Bivens to have his tray. The little man clam bered on deck, and bustled about, giving orders to the sailor who wag stowing the lunch and ammuni tion. When Stuart stopped the tender at the first blind, about 500 yards away. Bivens protested, "Here, here! I'm no mollycoddle if I have been sicU. can throw a stoiie to this blind. This isn't the one I want. There it is down yonder to ward the end of that marsh. I saw thousands of ducks circling around it yesterday. I've given in to you every day we've been down here. I'm going to have my way thjs. time." He turned to the sailor who was running the tender's engine and spoke sharply. ,JA "Go to that other blind!" The sailor sprang to the wheel, and the tender shot ahead. Stuart settled back in his seat with augry disgust, and Bivens laughed. "Cheer up: it's no use to give orders for a funeral yet. If we can't get back to that yacht in fifteen minutes against any wind that blows today I'll eat my hat. I'm feeling better than I have for months. I'm in for a good time. Don't be a piker." Stuart determined to make the best of it. "All right," he answered cheerfully. "Good Lord, man, I could walk back to the yacht at low water—it all goes bare." "Yes, unless the wind hauls in to the northeast and rolls in a big tide through that inlet." "All right: let her roll. The tender will come back and pull us in." By the time the decoys were out it began to spit snow, and the wind bad freshened. As the sailor was about to start back Stuart spoke sharply: "Listen to me now. Niels. Keep a Sharp watch on this weather. If you see the wind haul to the north put a compass iu your tender, take your bearing from the yacht to this blind in case it should shut in thick and come after us in double quick time. You understand?" "Yes, sir." "If It looks bad don't wait too long. If it should be blowing a gale you'd bet ter bring the cook along to steer while you watch your engine. Have him fix a light supper before he starts." Bivens was vastly amused at Stu art's orders. Stuart scanned the horizon, watch ing a flock of ducks working their way northward. The sign was ominous. Birds know which way the wind is going to blow before it comes, and if a gale is on the way they always work jnto the teeth of it. It was useless to tell this to Bivens. He didn't have sense enough to under stand it But Stuart quietly made up bis mind to take up the decoys and row in as soon as the tide ebbed down to two feet of water. In the meantime be would make the test qt the situation. The ducks be* |an to come in and decoy like chick: ens. He killed half a dozen and in the excitement began to. forget the foojV hardiness of the trip. Bivens shot a dozeq times, missed, got disgusted and began to fret aiuf complain. He said: "Jim, would you mind telling me tn§ mental process by which you rejepted. my offer? You're the only man I've struck on this earth that didn't have his price." "Perhaps we have different ways of fixing values. You are not yet fifty years old and a wreck.- What's the use? What can you do with your money now?" "It brings luxury, ease, indulgence, power, admiration, wonder and the envy of the world." "What's the good of luxury if you can't enjoy it, ease if you never take It, indulgence when you have lost the capacity to play, power if you're too busy getting more to stop and wield it?" "Jim, you're the biggest fool I ever knew, without a single exception." Stuart glanced anxiously toward the yacht. It was 3 o'clock. The tide had ebbed half out and there was barelj enough water on the flats now for the tender to cross. It was snowing hard er and the wind had begun to inch in toward the north. "No more ducks today, Cal," Stuart said briskly, returning to his tone of ffiendly comradeship. "We've got to get away from here. It's getting colder every minute. It will be freezing be fore night." "Well, let it freeze," Bivens cried peevishly. "What do we care? It's just ten minutes' run when the tender comes." To Stuart's joy he .saw the men start the tender. "It's all right they're coming now!" he exclaimed. "We'll have another crack or two before they get here." He crouched low in the blind for five minutes without getting a shot rose and looked for the tender. To his hor ror he saw her drifting helpless before the wind, her engine stopped and both men waving frantically their signals of distress. "My God!" be exclaimed. "The ten der's engine is broken down!" "Why don't the fools use the oars?" "They can't move her against this wind!" "Will they gotosear Bivens asked. wtUl soffit RBxjejti, ."'"No? ttfey'lfclfrlng up somewhere on a mud flat or marsh In the bay on this low water, but God help them If they can't fight their way back before.fiopd tide." :',_w "Why?" Bivens asked'incredulously. "They'd freeze to death in an open boat tonight." "Norwegian sailors? Bosh! Not on your l!fe!7 They were,born ou ice bergs." Stuart rose and looked anxiously at the receding tide. He determined to try to reach the yacht at once. He put the guns into their cases, snapped the lids of the ammunition boxes, stowed the ducks he had killed under the stern of the boat and stepped out into the shallow, swiftly moving water. He de cided to ignore Bivens and regard him as so much junk. He pulled the boat out of the blind, shoved It among the decoys and took them up quickly. The snow had ceased to fall, and! the cold was increasing every moment. Stuart scanned the horizon anxiously, but could see no sign of the disabled tender. He had gone perhaps 200 yards' when the boat grounded on the flats. He saw at once that it was impossible to make the yacht until flood tide. The safest thing to do was to get out and push to the island marsh. 200 or 300 yards away. There they, could /take exercise enough to~keep warm until the tide came in. again. It would be?a wait of two hours in bitter cold and pitch darkness. '':••',.- Bivens sat up and growled. "What's the matter? Can't yon hur ry up? I'm freezing to death!" "We can't make it on this tide. We will have to go to the marsh." I "Can't we walk oyer the flats and let the boat go?" •fl could walk it. but you'couldn't". "Why not?" Bivens asked angrily. "Because you haven't the strength." "Nothing of'the sort!" Bivens pro tested viciously. He stepped out of the boat and start ed wading through the mud. He had made about ten steps when his boot stuck fast and he reeled and fell. Stuart picked him up without com ment and led him back to the boat. Bivens was about to climb In when the lawyer spoke quickly: "You can't sit down now. You've got to keep your body in motion or you'll freeze. Take hold of the stern of the boat and shove her." Muttering incoherent curses, the little man obeyed while his friend walked in front, pulling on the bow line. In fifteen minutes they reached the marsh and began the dreary tramp of two hours until the tide should rise high enough to float their boat again. "Why can't we walk along this marsh all the way to where the ^yacht lies?" Bivens asked fretfully. "We can fire a gun, and the doctor can' help us on board." "We can't go without the boat. The marsh is a string of islands cut by three creeks. The doctor has no way to get to us. Both tenders are gone." Stuart kept Bivens moving just fast enough to maintain the warmth of his body without dangerous exhaustion. The wait was shorter than exp*ected. The tide suddenly ceased^to run ebb and began to come in. The reason was an ominous one. The wind had hauled squarely into the north and increased its velocity to forty miles an hour, -mid each moment the cold grew more ter rible. Stuart found the little boat afloat on the flood tide, jumped in without delay and began his desperate battle against wind and tide. It was absolutely necessary for Biv ens to keep his body in motion, so Stuart gave him an oar and ordered dim to get on his knees and help shove her ahead. He knew it was impossible for him to keep his feet. Bivens tried to do as be was told ind made a mess of it. He merely suc ceeded in shoving the boat around. Stuart saw they could never make headway by that method, turned and iihot back into the marsh. "Get out!" he shouted sternly. "You ran walk along the edge. 1 can shove !*er alone." Bivens grumbled, but did as he was ordered. "Don't you leave the edge of that marsh ten feet!" Stuart shouted cheer fully. "I think we'll make it now." It was a question whether one man had the strength to shove the little boat through the Icy, roaring waters and keep her off the shore. He did it successfully for a hundred yards, and the wind and sea became so fierce he was driven in and could make no headway. He called Bivens, gave him an oar and made him walk in the edge of the water and bold the boat off while he placed his oar on the mud bottom and pushed. It took two hours of desperate bat tling to make half a mile through the white, blinding, freezing, roaring wa ters. The yacht now lay but 300 feet away from the edge of the marsh. "Say, why do we stop so much?'' Bivens growled. "I'm freezing to death. Let's get to that yacht" "We'll do our best," Stuart answer ed gravely, "and If you know how to pray now's your time." *-4Oh, tommyrot!" Bivens said con temptuously. "1 can throw a stone to her from here." "Get in," Stuart commanded, "and lie down again flat on your back!" Bivens obeyed, and the desperate Bght began. Stuart made the first few strokes with his oars successfully and cleared the shore, only to be driven back against it with a crash. A wave swept over the little craft. Stuart grasped Bivens' hand and found a cake 'of ice on his wrist. He shoved the boat's nose again into the wind and pulled o*n his oars with a steady, desperate stroke, and she shot ahead. For five minutes be held her head into the sea and gained a few vards. He set his feet firmly against the oak timbers In the boat's side and began to lengthen his quick, powerful stroke. He found to his joy he was making headway. He looked over his shoulder and saw that he was half way. He couldn't be more than 150 feet and yet he didn't seem to be getting any nearer. It was now or never. He bent to his oars with the last ounce of reserve power in his tall sinewy frame, and the next mo ment an oar snapped, the boat spun round like atop and In a minute was hurled back helpless on the marsh.". As thejftft, dashed, qztcJlBX agfja BmnS^'IooTtedr^^utSlrtupi^y In growled: x. "Why don't you keep' her straight?" Stuart spraug out and pulled the numbed man to bis feet, half dragged and lifted him ashore. '_. CT "Here, here, wake up!" he shouted In his ear. "Get a move on you, or you're a goner." He began to rub Bivens' ice clad wrists and hands, and the little man snatched' them away angrily. "Stop It!" he snarled. "My hands are not cold now." "No, they're freezing," he answered as he started across the marsh in a dog trot, pulling Bivens after him.' The little man stood it for a hundred yards, suddenly tore himself loose and angrily faced bis companion. "Say, suppose you attend to your own hide—I can take care of my self." "I tell you, you're frezing. You're getting numb. As soon as I can get your blood a little warm we've got to wade through that- water for a hun dred yards and make the yacht" •Til do nothing of the sort," Bivens said. "I'll stay here till the next tide and walk out when the water's* ebbed off. I'm not half as cold as I was." "You're losing the power to feel. You've got to plunge into that, water with me now, and we can fight our way to safety In five minutes. The water is only three feet deep, and I can lift you over the big waves. We'll be there iu a jiffy. Come on!" He seized his arm ag-.in and dragged him to the edge of the water. Bivens stopped short and tore himself from Stuart's grip. "I'll see you to the, bottomless pit be fore I'll move another inch!" he yelled savagely. "(Jo to the devil and let me alone. I'll take care of myself." "All right," Stuart said contemptu ously as he turned and left him. He-began to walk briskly along" the marsh to keep warm. All he had to do tonight was to apply the law of self Interest by which Bivens had lived and waxed mighty and tomorrow he could take the woman he loved in his arms, move into his palace its master and hers. There could be no mistake about Nan's feelings. He bad read the yearning of her heart with unerring Insight Visions of a life of splendor. beauty and power with her by his side swept his imagination. "She's mine, and I'll take her!" he cried. "Let the little, scheming, oily, cunning scoundrel die tonight by his own law of self Interest. I've done my part" There came a change his heart was, suddenly flooded with memories of his boyhood. Its dreams of heroic deeds his mother's serene face, his father's high sense of honor. He turned quickly and retraced his steps. Bivens was crouching on his knees witb his back to the fierce, ley Wind, feebly striking his hands to gether. "Are you going to fight your way with me back to that yacht, Cal?" he asked sternly. "I am not," was the short answer. "I am going to walk the marsh till 4 o'clock." "You haven't the strength. You can't walk fast enough to keep from freezing. You'll have to keep it up eight hours. You're cold and wet and txhausted. It's certain death if you •tay." "I've-told you I'll take my chances here, and I want y"— He never finished the sentence. Stu art suddenly gripped his throat threw" him flat on bis back and while he kick ed and squirmed and swore drew a cord from his pocket and tied his hands and feet securely. Paying no further attention to his groans and curses, he threw his little, helpless form across his shoulders, plunged lnto#the water and began his Struggle to reach the yacht It was a difficult and dangerous task, but at Ha Began His Struggle to Reach the Yacht. last .he struggled up the gangway, tore the cabin door open, staggered down the steps into therwarm, bright saloon and fell in a faint at Nan's feet. The doctor came In answer to her scream and lifted Bivens to his state room, while Nan bent low.over the prostrate form. "Jim, speak to me! You can't die yet we haven't lived!" He sighed and gasped: "Is he alive?" "Yes, in his stateroom there, cursing you with every breath." "Thank God! Thank God!" (To be continued) 8*ate rt Ohio Citv rt Toledo. Liiras County, ss Trank J.
