EDGAR MULLIN.
Edgar Mullin, son of T. P. Mullin,
of Elgin, died in St. Catherine hospi

seven o’clock, following an operation
for appendicitis on the previous Sun

The remains were brought here to

will be held from St. Patrick’s church

Edgar was born in Custer county,
South Dakota, October 31, 1895. He
spent six years of his boyhood days
with his parents in O’Neill and moved
with his parents to Innisfail, Canada,
where he resided for six years before
going to Washington, D. C., where he
has been for the past seven years
studying law at Georgetown university

At Christmas time he came to Ne

Elgin and with relatives in Omaha.
Last Thursday he became ill and
summoned a physician. Sunday it was
decided to operate for appendicitis.
Edgar was not well known in
O’Neill not having visited here in re
cent years. His father, T. P. Mullin,
is quite well known throughout the
county as he made his home here in
the early days.

LITTLE BABY GIRL
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
FROM VICIOUS HOG
The little nineteen months old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Stub
bin, residing at old Mineola, came
v£Ty nearly being eaten up by a vicious
sow belonging to the family, this
morning when the mother left the lit
tle one playing about the yard while
she went for some cobs. Hearing the
screams of the child she returned
quickly to find that the old sow had
cut and bruised the arms, head and
the entire body of the little one with
its tushes and inflicting deep holes in
its head and arms where the tushes
had entered. The child was brought
to the office of Dr. Carter where the
iniuries were sewed up and dressed.
The child has a fairly good chance to
recover.

(©. 1984, Western Newspaper Union.)
WHEN Robert Crandull and hli
pretty wife adopted little Dot, an
orphan child thrown on the world with
out a friend or relative, good old Doc
tor Rroae, the minister, told them that
a blessing would surely come to them
A high stone wall separated the
humble Crundall homestead from the
grand Thorne mansion next door, the
home of an aftlicted and lonely re
cluse.
Reuben Thorne was tin; mystery of
Brocton. He was known as "the man
with the gray mask." He had lived
entirely alone. Once a week a man
came from the village to set ttie place
in order. Thorne passed most of his
time reading. He never left the walled
in grounds until after dusk. Then he
wore a gray silk mask that completely
covered ills face.
Those who met him, even when dark
ness partially obscured ids strange
ness of appearance, were startled.
Nervous women watched him ns they
would a bogie. Children shrank from
hint. Then the story came out that ids
face was a mass of disfiguring scars.
It was told that in another part of j
the country, handsome, young, rich, lie
had loved a beautiful girl. A dark
beauty whom he hud never encouraged
but who wus mad after his love, in a
fit of Jealous rage flung a bottle of cor
rosive liquid in his face and then
drowned herself.
One evening Mrs. Crandall sent little
Dot over to the place with a dish of
the flrlt strawberries of the season,
newly-picked from their own home gar
den.
A sharp scream caused Mrs. Cran
dall to rush to the street a minute,or
two after little Dot had started on her
errand.
- “Oh, my darling! my darling!” she
screamed, as she saw amid a cloud of
dust a great touring car und an ex
cited crowd gathering.
“She Is safe!” called out a voice
suddenly, and the speaker and some
others drew back as there emerged
from amid the confusion the masked
man.
He carried little Dot in his arms.
She was white with fright, but smil
ing up at him murmuring lovingly.
“Oh, you good man—to come just as
I was being runned over!”
A little lad followed with the dish
filled with dust and berries. Then
there were explanations. The auto
mobile had borne down unexpectedly,
the masked man chanced to be at his
garden gate. He shrank from the
staring crowd, without a word, placed
Dot in the arms of her adopted mother
and disappeared, followed by tire ar
dent thanks of Mrs. Crandall.
The next day Dot insisted that she
must go and see her friend, as she
recognized a debt of gratitude to the
stranger.
That was the beginning of a rare
companionship between the lovable lit
tle Dot and the lonely world-weary
recluse. All through the golden month
of June, hour after hour, the strange
ly matched twain would wander over
the garden. Then one day Dot came
home In tears.
“He Is going away," she sobbed,
“and I shall be so lonely!”
At the barred gate that evening Mr.
Thorne met Mr. Crandall and told him
that business would call him away for
a month to a distant city. He ex
pressed his gratitude for the company
of the little child who had brought so
much sunshine into his dreary life.
It was a joyful evening vyljen Dot
saw a light once more in the solitary
old house. She could scarcely sleep, )
so anxious was she to regain her old
friend. The burred gate was kept
locked, however. For fully a week
the recluse was not seen ubout the
grounds. At dusk one evening he
passed the house. Dot ran out Im
petuously to greet him.
She returned with a white, fright
ened face. She was trembling and
amid great terror she gasped out: '
“Oh, papa! oh, mamma! It Isn't Mr.
Thorne!"
“What is that, my child?’’ inquired
Mrs. Crandall quickly.
No, the clothing was the same, the
mask was the same, but oh! she knew:
the gruff voice, the touch of the hand.
And then suspicion awoke In the mind
of her auditors and then investiga
tion.
“A little child shall lead them,” and
the quick instinct of the precocious
Dot’s mind did not go astray. It was
true—an imposter was personating
Mr. Thorne, drawing cheeks In his
name, getting ready to sell the prop
erty and decamp.
It was a clever plot of shrewd scoun
drels, soon unmasked, the real Thorne
rescued from an unhappy imprison
ment, and then the old delight of Dot
in regaining the afflicted friend whose
life was made endurable and even
happy through her joyful presence.
That was not all of it. The great
burden that oppressed the Crandalls,
the mortgage, was lifted, for Mr.
Thorne could not do enough to express
his gratitude for his delivery from
cruel hands. Then, week by week, he
was drawn from the old solitude; he
became a guest and then a regular
visitor at the Crandall home, and
finally a permanent member of a happy
family circle.

(®. 1924, Western Newspaper Union.)
A DUSTY piece of tin plate, one side
** of which bore the legend, “Tomp
kins Avenue"!
Curol Marston, the young lawyer,
looked at It Idly. It was lying In a
dry ditch beside the roadway.
The discovery seemed not of the
smallest Importance. Marston had
long since dismissed It from his mind
when he had a call from Pretty Elsie
Vincent.
“Sit down, Miss Vincent,” he said,
offering her a chair. He knew her by
sight, although they hud never spoken
to each other. “What cun I do for
you ?’’
“I want to bring a suit against the
Richards company," answered Miss
Vincent. “They engaged me by the
month as telephone operator in their
new apartment house at New avenue
and Seventh street, and dismissed me
on the seventh with n week’s pay be
cause they are droppiug the service."
Old Sol Richards had the reputation
of being the meanest man In town;
but this was worse than anything he
had done, for Lewis Vincent had start
ed him In business twenty years be
before.
Lewis Vincent died when Elsie was
a baby. IJe had once been wealthy,
but had backed a note for Richards,
and when he died It wag found that all
the property had to go to meet it, Rich
ards being Insolvent.
“And I just mean to get this forty
five dollars out of the old skinflint,”
said Elsie to Carol Marston. "Just to
show him what I think of him. Now,
why Is It, if I have a clear case, no
other lawyer will take it?"
‘lou have tried? inquired Carol.
“Yes,” the girl admitted. “You see,
Mr. Marston—” here she blushed pret
tily—“you seemed so young.”
Carol smiled rather grimly. “I guess
they are all afraid of Richards,” he
said. “But I will take your cuse—
and win it, too.”
"And I have a lot at the corner of
Tompkins avenue and Seventh street,"
the girl confided, “so I can pay you by
selling that.”
Three days later Richards came
stumping Into his office.
"What’s this I hear about your fil
ing a claim against me on behalf of
that Vincent woman?” he roared.
‘‘I don’t know what you have heard,
Mr. IMcliards, but It is true,” answered
Carol.
“Do you know I can ruin you, young
man?” cried the infuriated old man.
“Say, are you plumb crazy?”
“Can’t say,” answered Carol imper
turbably, “but that claim is going to
be met.”
“We’ll see,” grunted Richards, and
stamped out again.
That was the beginning of the trou
ble. One by one Carol’s clients
dropped away from him. The case
never come into court, for Richards
paid; and thenceforward Carol was do
prived even of the solace of Miss El
sie’s occasional visits. The young mar
had little capital, and it scorned Ilia
Richards would make good ids tlirea
And then one night, while he \\a
turning over Tits situation in his mind
there flushed across it the remem
brance^f that old tin plate..
The nqxt morning Carol paid a vlsi.
to the town hall and spent the whole
forenoon burrowing among old maps
and charts of tire village. It assumed
enough importance to Inspire the
young man to write an urgent letter
to Richards, inviting him to come to
ills office.
When Richards stamped into the
lawyer’s office, anticipating a plea for
mercy, lie was considerably astonished
to see Miss Vincent there, and Marston
seated at his desk and bearing no
traces .of spiritual humility.
“Well, young man, so you ve come
round, eh?” growled Richards.
“Hit down," said Carol. “Mr. Rich
ards, when you attempted to deprive
.Miss Vincent of three weeks’ salary I
did not realize that you were actually
in possession of stolen property of
hers.”
“What d’you mean?" growled Rich
ards, turning pale, nevertheless.
“The records of our town were de
stroyed by fire fifteen years ago,"
Marston went on; “but fortunately
certain deeds were saved—among them
that to your apartment house at the
corner of New avenue und Seventh
street."
"This is a conspiracy!” yelled Rich
ards, rising.
“Miss Vincent," continued the young
man, “possesses one of those deeds,
giving her possession of a vacant lot
at Seventh street and Tompkins ave
nue.”
He rose and, shaking his finger with
that dramatic air that was well known
In the courts afterward, continued:
“You infernal scoundrel, Tompkins
avenue used to run where New avenue
runs today, and Miss Vincent’s lot is
that on which your apartment house
now stands!”
Five minutes later Richards got up
from the floor and brushed his knees,
which were very dusty.
“I’ll send that check for ninety
thousand us soon as I can fix the mort
gage, Mr. Marston,” he whimpered.
“And you’ll let It go at that?”
“Yes," nodded Elsie, and Marston
said “yes” obediently.
Rut it was not more than a minute
before Miss Elsie was saying "yes”
also—In obedience to the singular
stipulation above mentioned.
