A PERSON
OF SOME
IMPORTANCE

Prologue.
Lovers of Romance, attention!
. Here's a story you will like. It
tells of mystery under the dreamy
moon of the Pacific islands and
of love in fhe shady lanes of New
England and what more can a
story reader want? The mystery,
of coarse, is introduced early in
the tale, and the -love-follows
close after. Together they go
hand in hand through the pages
of the story, never parting com
pany until the final chapter.
There the mystery deports, but
the love remains.
You know, of course, about the
author, Lloyd Osbourne. He
learned how to write in a worthy
school, for he is a stepson of
Robert Louis Stevenson. A.nd no
greater story teller than the latter
tver lived.

A Mysterious Enemy.

Lis troubles were oTer and that his
toot at last was on the ladder of inde
petadence. lie was in a glow of con
tentment and good will.
It was sad, Indeed, when it came to
an end. One evening after supper
Daggancourt took Matt to one side
and with profound depression said that
it wa& "als op.
"It came like a bombshell." he quav
ered. "Ion know, 1 started the busi
ness on nothing four years ago and
borrowed 2JMo of Farley, the money
lender. Now today he comes up to me
and says, old Farel'y does, out of a
clear sky and without the least warn

Isn't fair, and I could no more do it
than I could fly. Then he flubblcs
with his fountain pen and sticks It
back most careful in his vest pocket
and say?. Then you'll hare to get
out' "
"And didn't be make any ex pla na
tion r
Matt's attention was disturbed by a
thought that grew and grew more In
sistent as the mulatto poured out the
tale of Far ally's araazing perfidy. He
remembered his singular dismissal
from the Y. M. C. A. and. Incredible
as it might seem, asked himself
whether there was not some connec
tion between it and this unexpected
catastrophe and whether behind both
there was not somehow or other a
mysterious connection with Mr. Kay.
"He didn't give me as much as a pin
bole to crawl through," Daggancourt
continued explosively, "not a week's
grace no thing."
"I believe I can get you out of this,
aid Matt. "It may be crazy, but let's
try it Ilere. I'll write It on the back
of an envelope.
Victor was astounded; bis face, as
withered as old leather, screwed itself
np into a thousand wrinkles. "Try
what?" he demanded.
"Ton sit down and copy this off and
have it in bis letter box Inside of an
hour:
"Dear Mr. Farelly Looking: back cm our
Interview. I fear I was not In a state best
to explain the prosperous condition of the
carage or how really unwise it would be
la your own Interests to terminate my
connection with It. The fact was that 1
was very much upset by another matter
a row I had had with my demonstrator
shortly before you came In. This fellow
Brouthton acted abominably, and I had
to threaten him with a constable before
he would go. and afterward he came back
again and tried to clean out the shop
with a piece of lead pipe. Excuse me for
bothering you with all this, but I am sure
that If you will let me bring you tho
books and show you how well the garage
Is going you will reconsider your wish to
call in the note. Our agency prospects are
very bright, and the sale of two Jones
rnobiles In eighteen days speaks for itself.
1 feel positive I can satisfy you In regard
to everything If yo-j will only be so very
kind as to let me come and go over the
figures. Respectfully youra.
"VICTOR DAGGAXCODRT."
"And I'm to write him that? asked
the mulatto. "Sakes alive, Marse
Broughton. what In the name of good
ness do you want me to do that for?"
"Because I think I know what's the
matter with Mr. Farelly. I may be
wrong, but I believe the whole scheme
Is simply to get me out of my Job.
That's why I put in the lead pipe and
all that and mind you. stick to it Vic
tor, for all you're worth.
"But why should Farelly do that?
Excuse me. Marse Broughton, but you
are all off. 1 ml?ht as "well "send Lira
a picture post card of the Masonic
building as this here letter."
"Victor, It's like this: I have got bold
of a little piece of a big secret some
thing extraordinary. Inexplicable. In
rolvjn. thebest friend I bavejj the
w"orid."air3Ta7u oh ray Tionor to lilmtb
keep my mouth shut If it wasn't for
that promise I'd tell yoa everything.
Ton get that letter off to Fure-Ily as
quick as you can."
"It ain't a bit of use. sir. Really
and truly, Marse Broughton, It ain't a
bit of use."
"Do it to oblige me. anyhow."
"All right Marse Broughton; though
couldn't yoa cut out some of the hum
ble pie?"
"Not a bite of it: You write it Just
the way it is and then leave it at his
bouse tonight"
j The next morning Matt treated him
self to the luxury of gt-tting up late
so late, indeed, that Daggancourt had
! already gone, leaving no message. But
he returned soon with the tidings that
the letter had been miraculously suc
cessful. Tes, old Farelly. after a pre
tense of examining the books, had pro-
1 fussed himself entirely satisfied; the
notes were not to be called in; every
thing was to go on as before; the
garage was saved!
"What clinched it was when I said
I'd have to find another boarding
place." added Daggancourt with a
puckered grin; "said I was afraid to
stop where you was, may the Lord
forgive me. For God's ssalre. get away
from here. Marse Broughton. or worse
may come of it Get away quick, and
here's $1."0 I drew at the bank."
Matt pushed the money back. "No.
no. Victor." he exclaimed; "I'm going
to stick it out I am going to stay in
Manaswan If it rains wildcats'"
After losing two more positions
through the machinations of his mys
terious foes Matt succeeded in getting
J a Job on the water front But what lie
had not reckoned on was the overmas
tering, crushing fatigue that made it
irsrrossible to keep it A man unaccus
tomed to severe and prolonged manual
labor has little chance on the docks.
Matt working one day and often recu
perating for two. exerted every nerve to
find less killing employment Sullivan,
the Loss stevedore, told fclm the Moun
tain View quarry was to be opened up
with forty Hungarians and that he bad
recommended Matt for gang foreman
of the place. "You're to drive out on
Sunday morning and talk it over," said
Sullivan.
The place was a lonely one, and
Matt, scenting trouble, took Daggan
court. an auto, two mechanics and a
shotgun for each. The quarry was
deserted, but they found a highway
man's mask on the ground and hurritnl
away as fast as the auto tow wa?nn
could go. The plot, whatever it was.
had failed when the unknown con
spirators saw Matt and his armed com
panions. Miles away Matt and his
friends stopped for luncheon. Soon

Whip.
past Matt found himself holding her
bridle, talking and listening with
breathless animation. She hod not
been able to stay away longer. She
loved him and would say it before the
world, promise or no promise. It had
been unbearable, and she was twenty
three and ber own mistress, and. oh.
had he succeeded in what they had
planned? No, he had not It was a
bitter confession, but he had not
They had got him out of one tiling aft
er another; had forced him to his
knees. He had been persecuted and
bunted till he was well nigh crazy.
Over all was another voice stridently
crying: "Let go my daughter's horse,
sir! Do you hear, sir? Let go my
daughter's horse!" a voice vibrating
with passion and yet immeasurably
distant and as unconsidered as the
drone of a wasp.
Suddenly there were a flash of a whip
and a stinging blow cut across Matt's
face. Another flash, a scream, and he
bad wrenched the whip from a wrin
kled old band and was about to lash
out with it himself on that convulsive
and raging figure. To his dying day
he was thankful he threw it from him
instead, dizzily refraining as he real
ized It was Chris father and that he
must not strike an old man.
Then the two horses took fright and
bolted, burling Matt to the ground,
from which be looked after them on
one elbow, oblivious of everything but
Chris' safety. But she was as good a
rider as ber father and as spirited as
her own thoroughbred. She was keep
ing her Beat In that headlong gallop
and, leaning back like a little Jockey,
was Jerking manfully at the curb. But
nothing could have checked those
horses. They were uncontrollable in
their terror. Straining neck and neck,
they diminished and disappeared, leav-Ini&iticJwithfearw
Christine was not Injured, and that
evening a plain, middle aged woman
came to the boarding bouse., and gave
him this note:
My Darling I nm sending j-ou this by
my Swiss maid. Flexner, whom don't trust
too much. Sho win tell you what I have
planned, for J nm S3 used up, po distract
ed, that I cannot write it. though I have
tried twice. 1 am at the end of my cour
age and everything, and if we don't snatch
at our happiness now we shall lose It for
ever. It was wicked of him to t-triki: you.
Wicked, wicked, wicked! Let Flexner do
all the talking till you understand. Don't
think she is devote-d. It's because I prom
ised her 2,0u0 dols. and that is a fortune
in her country, where I suppose 6ho will
settlo down and yodel for the rest of her
days. She Is very sharp, so be cautious.
Oh, if I could or.!y talk to you myself!
But I love you, and she will show you
how much. Adku. CHRIS.

Matt pondered a moment and then
inquired. "You are Flexner?"
"Yes. sir."
"Will you please give me your mes
sage ?"
"My young lady wishes to do a very
foolish thing." said Flexner. with a
disapproving pursing of her mouth.
"She wants you to run away with her
tomorrow morning. Yon are to get a
carriage, or. better, an automobile and
pick hor rp tomorrow morning at 4
o'clock at the Fair Oaks entrance
Previously I shall have packed n small
ivortiuantesn and placed it outside the
house, and all next day I will inform
her father that she is ill and cannot
!e disturbed. By this moans you
reach Midd'eliorough without trouble
and get married, and then take tlie
train to New York. From New York
you will travel to San Francisco, and
there you stay, no matter how poor,
how starving, till the opportunity ar
rives to go to that place where yon
have a friend a very rich, queer man
whom once you served and who will
take you back in employment."
"John Mort" said Matt to himself.
"She says it must be now or not at
nil. for she Cannot be so brave twice.
She says desperate people have to take
desptrafe chances She asks you to
answer ye-s or no.
Matt made a hasty calculation. He
had almost a hundred dollars. This,
with Chris $'S2, would easily get them
to California, with something to spare.
He told Flexner that h's answer was
"Yes" and put into the word a warmth
tUnt he h:ied she would carry to her
iuistiess. She was to say that he had
$'J cr.d would carry out his instruc
tions iuiplklty ; was also to say that
be was the pluckiest girl In the world.
At half past 3 Matt and Daggancourt
were at the gates of Fair Oaks.
There was a sound of voices, of feet
running, of muffled exclamations in
the dark. A slight figure murmured
paiitingly. "Oh. Matt is it you?" and
clung to him. In an instant they were
speeding through the deep defile again,
eiigulfod in tho night.
Matt's recollection of his elopement
was lyth strangely blurred and
Strang. -!y vivid, lie was tired to e
hanstio'i. and so was Chris. Nothing
eouid keep ilier.i long awttke. not even
the ecstasy of being together.1 Yet that
dawu v. as the most imperishable mem
ory of his life s he looked down at
hor. nestled !eside him, with the
heavy la?hes fringing her cheeks. She
oleued her sleepy eyes and nestled
closer and closer still when he whis
lered it was their wedding day.
They say responsibility gravitates to
the shoulders lit to bear it In this
case the shoulders were Iaggan
court's, and his was the directing spir
it He had charged himself with the
whole business and had thought out a
plan of campaign in which the others
were merelyto Xlo what they were Lid.
They did so meekly, bewildered and
happy at this fresh instance of the
first being last and the last first
The ring was bought, the license ob
tained, and a benignant fossil recited
the marriage ceremony in a stuffy
parlor. Victor slipped a ten dollar
note in Mi not unwilling hand, and
the couple left the stuffy parlor mar
ried. At Claremont they caught the New
York express, and Daggancourt who
had taken the tickets, hurried them
through a Pullman to the compart
ment he had reserved.
"How do we stand. Victor?" Matt
asked. "Two for the license, ten for
Mr. What-tlye-call-him. and. oh. yes
the ring that's five more, seventeen
and he auto. I insist upon paying for
that and the tickets. For heaven's
sake, be quick about it or they'll start
the train!"
"Marse Broughton. you aren't as
well fixed as you ought to be." said
Daggancourt "and and so I think
we'll Just let it 6tand over if you don't
mind."
"Stand over? I should say not!
Here, take thirty-five and call it
square!"
"It can never be that between you
and me. sir," returned Victor, with a
droop of the lower lip that made him
look the embodiment of guilt "I'm
powerful fond of you. Marse Brough
ton. and and it would be a great fa
vor if you would Just accept it tem
porary. Like you might from a white
man," he added stammeringly. "only
temporary, till you sort of get set
tied, and"
"I'll take it" Matt said brokenly
"and I won"t pretend It isn't a ".'iff
either. God knows. I need it. Victor,
and I I thank you."
They waved farewell, as it were, to
all their past life as well as to that
shabby figure receding behind them.
The new one seemed to date from the
moment they found themselves alone
together for the first time since dawn;
asthey looked at each other that hag
gard, unshaven man. that pale girl,
thus unflinchingly taking their fata
into their own hands.

Amind our festivities and joy
at the approach of the holidays,
we are called upon to record I he
sudden and terrible death of lwo
of our number. On Saturday,
December 19. Mrs. Susan E., wife
of D. N. Johnson, departed Ihis
life. The funeral took place on
Sunday from the Euiscopal
church, which was crowded. The
procession lo the grave was very
large, notwithstanding the cold
weather. Mrs. Johnson, unfor
tunately caught the measles in
the spring, and has never been
well since; although nol in good
health, so sudden a taking off at
this time was not looked for.
she leaves one little girl, a
beautiful child, and her bereaved
husband, and a host of relatives
to mourn her untimely death.
Death has visited our town
heavily. Even as we write another
young friend is being carried lo
her long home. Scarcely were our
tears dried and the grae dee.nl
ly closed over one of our number
before the bell tolled the solemn
requiem of another.
Miss Mary Amison died on
Monday evening-, in the i 1st year
of her age, stricken down almot
without warning, either to herself
or her loving friends. A few
days ago she was apparently in
good health, and on our streets.
At the fire two week since, she
drew water for the firemen, and
others, overheard herself, and
afterward caught cold; but it
was not. thought serious. On Fri
day last she was taken suddenly
worse, and on Monday lay a
corpse. The family ha been dec
imated in a remarkable manner.
But little over two years ago the
mother died; this fall the father,
Henry J. Amison. and now the
eldest sister and stay of the fam
ily is swept away. There still re
mains Miss Addie, about 18 vears
old, a boy, P, an infant girl 3
years old. It i a ad, sad be
reavement to them. The i:rim old
destroyer has reaped a harvest
Ihis month, and a we shed fears
of regret for one so young, so
fair, so beautiful, we dread to
look about for fear another loved
one may be removed.
Dr. Kenaston of Stove Creek
and Dr. Waterman of Louisville,
both were in Plattsmouth attend

Iloosier, is visiting our burg-, ami

"Squire" Ed Todd was in Iown
the oilier day. Elani Parmele told
u all about it.
S. B. Hobson, the great apple

CONVINCING PROOF
OF THE RELIABILITY
OF THE W. 0. W.
The record for the rapidity of
set I lenient of death losses seems
to have been broken by the Wood
men of the World, as W. B.
Rishel, the clerk of Evergreen
Camp No. 70. this morning re
ceived two drafts of $.100 each
paid on the policy of Emil Mei
singer. who died at St. Catherine's
hospital in Omaha a week ago
Thursday, and who was buried
last Sunday. The certificate was
signed up lat Monday and the
policy sent in to the national
headquarters at Omaha, and I he
head banker of the order at once
issued the drafts in payment.
The amount of the policy is
divided equally between the father
and mother of the young man.
Sued quick settlement of Ihe
claim is certainly pleaing to the
members of the Woodmen of the
World in thi city and i con
vincing proof of the splendid
standing of Ihis order, which
prides itself on giving satisfac
tion for every policy iued by
