Hartington, Neb, May 21. (Spe
cial.) Now, ladies and gentlemen
(as the spieler at the sideshow would
say), we wish to call your attention
to one of the very best products of
Cedar county, the family of Henry
Lorge of Wynot.
The family is strictly a Cedar
county product and most of the IS
children are still located in this sec
tion. Stop, Look, Listen I
There is one advantage in having
a family as big aa the Lorge family.
One member can go visiting and by
the time he makea the rounds his
fuel and grocery bill for that period
will have been materially lessened.
That it also has its disadvantages
was evidenced not long ago, when
the family home of. Julie Lorge
here was burned to the ground. The
family was away visiting among the
relationship and it was such a prob
lem to locate them that they were
not discovered until the day after
the fire.
Henry Lorge, the father, is one of
Cedar county s best known citizens.
He was formerly located in Ran
dolph, this county, before moving to
Wynot. Although he is 62, he is be
ing boomed by a number of friends
for the office of county sheriff. Some
of his boosters feel that there are
enough votes in the family to give
him a good start toward the goal and
it should be easy to secure from oth
ers enough more to win.
The members of the family and
their ages are: Mr. Lorge, 62; Mrs.
Lorge, 56; Francis, 35; Henrietta,
33; Lexie, 31; Ivo, 30; Stella, 29;
Julius, 27; Eva, 25; Clara, 23; George,
20; Marie, 18; Leonida, 16; Gerald,
15; Louis, 14; Mennas, 12, and Ar
thur, 7.

He had hardly gone when a boy
brought a note from Pat Roys ton; it
was - very short just a couple of
lines.
"Will you be at the little restaurant
this evening at 7? you know where
i mean.
Elizabeth knew well enoueh. and
her aoul aeemed to be singins: for iov
as she kissed the little scrappy note,
l ; j , . .
ana ma ii away in ner irocK.
She went up to her' room, and
packed the few belongings with
which she had first come to Mme
Senestis; she left everything behind
mat naa oeen erven ner since, even
the water ly fillet" which Farmer
hail crfvmi hfr'hit ntvhr J Sh ts1
no further use for any of them: she
wanted to start afresh, and shake off
every link of the old life. .
Aa she finished packing, and tidied
the room, her mmd leaned ahead in a
wonderful dream ot the; future; per
naps, tney would so abroad some
where, the and' Royston. Perhaps
even . they "would dance together
again; perhaps even some day they
would be famous.
It was strange that she never gavs
thought to Enid San&er: stranse
that ane had never been really active
ly jealous of her..
She counted almost everv moment
of the day as it dragged by; madame
went out without seeing her, and
Elizabeth was glad. The old French
housekeeper served' her meaisc, but
seemed disinclined to talk, and Eliza
beth did not care her whole being
was concentrated on the evening,
and the happiness to which she was
going.. -? r v '
Her small trunk she left auite
ready to be fetched or forwarded to
her when she knew Royston's plains
for the future, and there was not the
smallest doubt or shadow of regret
in her heart when, later that evening,
she looked around the room in silent
farewell. ". ,1
Only as she was actually leaving
the house did she give a thought to
Neil Farmer and the masnitude of
the debt she owed him. and for a mo
ment her faee blenched, and her heart
was shaken with fear.
What would he dor. What could
he do. she asked herself' but she
soon rallied. She could pay him back,
at little at a time; it would take per
haps years, of course, but once she
was with Royston and happy, she
teit that the world failure would
never need to find a place in her life.
She was at the little restaurant
where she had had supper with Roy
ston all those months ago, a quarter
of an hour before the time he had
stated, but he was waiting for her,
and he. took her hand in a close trio
before they went to the table in the
alcove at which they had sat together
before. '"-' v r'.
Elizabeth's eyes were stars of inno
cent joy as she looked at Royston
across the little table.
'This is the third time we've been
here," she said shyly. "Do you re
member?" . - ' - .
"Yes." He seemed to avoid meet
ing her eyes. His face looked drawn.
When he had given the waiter his
order, Elizabeth slipped a hand into
his. . - ,- - '
I'm so baooy." she said. 'It's
been awful, all these weeks and
when you were ill " He looked
down at her sharply.
"Netta told youf"
She flushed and shook her head.
No. Mme. - Senestis heard." Her
lips trembled. "I wrote to you ever
so many times," she confessed with
a sigh, "but I always was afraid to
aend them." .
"Were you?" he anawered her with
an effort; and presently he made an
excuse to take his hand from hers.
He understood Elisabeth so well;
knew exactly what castles in the air
she had built for herself since last
night, and he blamed himself pas
sionately. If only he had not yielded to' the
incontrollable impulse to take her in
his arms; if only he had not kissed
Her. the task which he had set him
self would have been so much easier.
It cut him to the soul to see the
trust and confidence in her eyes. He
hated himself because he knew that
presently he would have to shatter
the happiness that she had built in
her innocence upon so insecure a
foundation. .
But Elizabeth was quite uncon
scious of his distress. She loved him,
and she- felt that already she be
longed to him. She went on chatter-,
ing away, telling him little discon
nected incidents of her life with
Mme. Senestis of her dread of the
ordeal last night.
"And then when I got there I,
didn't mind at, all, t least" her
eyes fell as she met his understand
ing gaze not . till I saw you. And
then oh, you looked so il 111", She
caught her breath with a little sound
of pain. ' "Oh, supposing you had
died!" she added in a tragic whisper.
Royston managed a not very sue
cessful laugh.
"I'm afraid I take a great deal
more killing than that," he said
hoarsely. "I dare say anything you
heard from Mme. Senestis . was
grossly exaggerated. Anyway, Im
all riaht now.
He roused himself with an effort.
"I hope to start work again next
week." he went on More lightly. "I
may even go abroad before the end
of the summer.
Elizabeth looked up eagerly.
"Oh, somehow I thought you
would," she said.
"Won't it be iust lovely? I've
never been out of England. Where
shall we sro?"
There was a dreadful silence;
Royston turned his face away he
was as white as death, and his mouth
was set in quivering lines ot pain.
After a long moment Elizabeth
touched his arm.
"Why why what is the matter?"
she faltered. .
But even now the truth did not
come home to her.
Then suddenly he spoke, and his
voice was rough and. ugly with hard
determination. .
Elizabeth, you know don t you
know that I I can t take you with
me?"
'Not take me with you?" Eliza
beth choed blankly. "Not, take me
with you?" she said agin.
Royston leaned his elbows on the
table and hid his eyes against his
clenched hands. He had been pre
pared for a hard task, but he had
never even dimly guessed what tor
ture it was going to be and how al
most impossioie.
