A spurt of flame leaped from the muzzle of the sentinel's rifle, and the shadowy form that had committed the capital military crime refusal to halt at a sentrys chullenge crumpled Into a dark mass on the uarrovv footpath. The sentinel snapped another cartridge into the chamber of his rille and carefully watched the prostrate form at which he had fired, while he called loudly for the corporal of the guard. Halting the approaching men until he was satisfied of their identity, he let them advance, and reported what had occurred to the noncommissioned otiicer of the guard. Cautiously advancing to the prostrate figure holding his rifle at the ready, the corporal convinced himself that the man lying- - there was dead. A good shot, Jones, he muttered to the sentinel, as lie knelt beside the body. If one does not shoot straight the first time in this country his chance for ever firing again isnt much. Striking a match against the stock of his rifle he stooped over the dead man. Its an My God ! he exclaimed.

My first child lived only a short time ana I was sick for a year after. When I bent over and raised myself up again I could almost scream with pain in my back. One day I was so bad that I had to leave my washing and get ready to go to the doctor. He gave me medicine but it did no more good than if I drank justwater. Once when we had been in town a little book telling about Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound was left in our car. I have taken five bottles of the Vegetable Compound now and I do all my housework and help with the milking and taking care of chickens and garden. Besides I have a fine baby girl eight months old, just the picture of health and I am feeling fine myself. You may use this letter as a testimonial and I will answer any letters asking about the Vegetable Compound. Mrs. Oscar F. Borgelin, Route No. E, Forest City, Iowa. Lydia E.

Very likely. Certainly a great many believe that the answer to the foregoing historical questions Is Yes. These however, for the purposes of the centennial to be held June 6 to 0 In the Twin Cities, reckon the Norse immigration to the United States to have begun with the arrival of the Norwegian sloop Restnura-tioneIn New York harbor October I), 1825. Minnesota thinks well of her citizens of Norsp blood, as may be seen by a concurrent resolution adopted by Its legislature, which Is In purt: Whereas the year 1925 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the real beginning of Norse Immigration to this country and of the coming of the Norwegian sloop Iteatauratlonen, which brought the first large group of Norwegian Immigrants to our shores, and Whereas In commemoration of this event a celebration of national and International scope Is now of this being arranged by the country, to be held on the Minnesota State Fair grounds, June 6. 7, 8 and 9, this year; and Whereas Minnesota has a larger number of reople of Norse descent than any other state, and it Is recognized that these people braved the hardships of frontier settlements from our territorial days and up through the first decades of our statehood and thus played an Important part In transforming this and other northwestern states from a wilderness to one of the best developed and most progressive sections of our great country, and that they and their descendants have ever distinguished themselves as a frugal. Industrious and thilfty people; have taken a deep Interest In our social, religious and political activities; have been prominent In educational lines, In science, In art and literature, and in every branch of Industry, but above all have shown themselves to be puhllo-spirlte- d and most loyal American citizens Now, therefore, be It resolved, That vve do h rehy extend to the Trcsldent and t'le people of the I'nlted States; the governor general, the premier and the people of the Dominion of Canada; his majesty the, king, the government, the storthing and the people of Norway; the primate and the people of Iceland a most cordial Invitation to attend and participate In the said celebration It appears that Secretary of State Hughes sent out Invitations lu conformity with this action of the Minnesota legislature.

Intently reading one of many letters that the monthly mall had brought him that day. A candle stuck upright In Its own grease flared fitfully, as a wandering breeze from Lake Lanao, shaking the rain-lik- e dewdrops from the trees onto the damp canvas of the tent, stole in through the open flaps. Suddenly the captain found himself on his feet, listening Intently, while his right hand loosened his pistol In its holster. The slow pacing steps of the sentinel outside of the guard tent laid stopped. The sentinel in front of the tent Corporal of caught a distant call. The tenthe Guard, Number Seven! sion relaxed, and in an instant a detachment of the guard was away at the double to Post Number Seven. With an unconscious sigh of relief the captain turned to the table and refolded his letters, stuffing them in his pockets wdiile he waited for a report of the cause of the single shot he had heard In the distance. Soon the sound of the relief slowly returning was followed by a movement at the entrance of the tent. The sergeant of the guard entered. Captain Orden shot by Number He walked Seven, sir, he reported. up on Number Seven and would not halt when challenged. Where is Captain Orden? asked the captain of the guard. In his tent, Sir, answered the sergeant. Take charge of the guard until I Have return," ordered the captain. you notified the surgeon? the sergeant replied. Yes, Sir, He is there now." few minutes later the captain of the guard met the regimental surgeon dropping the flaps of Ordens tent behind him as he emerged into the quiet company street. Good shot, that sentinel, said the surgeon, as he ran his fingers thoughtfully through his grayish beard. Poor Orden never felt it. But he knew this camp like a hook, captain. God knows weve been in the beastly place long enough for him to. Why should he deliberately walk up on Number Seven?" Who knows? answered the captain. as he opened the flaps and entered the tent. Orden's body was on his field bed. By the light of a flickering candle on tlie camp table the captain noticed the tiny blue mark on the forehead, where the sentinels bullet had found Its target. In warfare soldiers soon become indifferent to death, even accept it us a matter of course, but a wave of bitter sadness swept over the officer as he turned from his friend to the table. A pile of letters lay there. One, open face down, seemed about to slip from the rough table to the ground. Tlie oilicer picked up the sheet of heavy paper and turned it over. A announcement lie wedding caught the name "Catherine black on its creamy surface as, with a flush and a feeling almost of sacrilege, he thrust it into an envelope that lay open beside it. lie noticed curiously that none of the other letters had been opened. A wandering breeze made the candle flicker as he turned to leave the tent, and Ids eye caught a wavering gleam from somthing on the trodden earth of tlie tent floor. He stooped, to pick up what he saw to be the broken remnant of an exquisite miniature. The beautiful face had been scarred and twisted as if a frantic heel had driven it hard into the earth, but across the back of the Jewel-se- t frame he could read the name Catherine. Placing it beside the letters, the captain of the guard dropped tlie flaps of the tent behind him. A How to build up your often proves in the body.
