The story begins with the boyhood of its hero, who gets his sorbiquet of “Stil" from his ®chool and swimming-hole com- panfons In a New England village be- cause of his unusual gift of reticense.

Her father dead, Lydia makes her own arrangements for a wider, freer life. Her youth and beauty at once invite insult and her enterpriss utterly falls. At the point of destitution, it flashes upon her that she may bring that youth and heatuy into the market, though, to do her justice, it was of marriage that she first thought.

Manufacturers Not to Take In the Den Doings This Monday Monday night will not be manufactur- ora' night at Ak-Sar-Ben den, as had once been planned. The manufacturers notified Samson that it would be tmpos- sible for them to get thelr crowd together Just at this time, although it was at thelr solicitation that a night had been reserved for them. There is to be a Lig night at the Den anyway, fowever, for Kennard s to bring some 308 men to be Inftiated on that evening. Dr. W. I, Pruner has written from Kennard that Bameon may expect at least 30 from that town next Monday night. The following Monday night, which will be July 2, is to be Blair, Herman and Tekamah night, and, in fact, the night for all boosters from the towns along the Minneapolls & Omaha raliway.

The city clerk was directed to notify the contractors and their bondsmen that unless the work is pushed without fur- ther delay action wil be started agaipst | & bond of $15000 held for the falthful completion of ‘the work. Trenches for the conduits are lying open and material is on the ground. During the discussion one of the com- missioners declared that Dundee at the eleventh hour of its corporate life un- loaded $%,000 lighting bonds upon the ! people of Greater Omaha. He thought such action was uncouth, .to say the least. Objection was taken to the form of lamps selected by the Dundee people.
