Mathias Freund, who resides near Johnsburg, died suddenly on Thursday last. It appears that he received a severe fall some time last winter, but his friends supposed he had fully recovered from its effects. Chas. Kuhnert and daughter of Johnsburg narrowly escaped a fatal accident on Saturday last. While coming to town something- broke, letting the tongue of the wagon drop down, and throwing Mr. Kuhnert and daughter to the ground. T*«ty4i« Yean Age Last Saturday afternoon Mrs. C. C, Colby and Mrs. P. C. Peterson and 1- year-old daughter, who reside Just north of town, started out for an afternoon drive. They were driving toward McHenry, when they met an auto coming up the main highway at a terrific speed. Thinking that the driver of the machine would keep on the main road, as most tourists do, the ladies stopped their horse until the devil-wagon should have passed. To their horror the machine dashed around the corner into the machine, throwing the occupants of the buggy onto a barbed wire fence. McHenry has again been separated from one of its old citizens, the ange) of death coming Wednesday afternoon last, May 17, 1905, taking away Mr. Thomas Phalin, aged 70 years.

Her light tap was answered by a Filipino batler. "Is Mrs. Martin In?" she inquired in a voice quivering with excitement. The butler said, "She'll be right down." At the sound of light footsteps, Nancy beheld Sally's neat ankles tripping down the curving steps so quickly that the tiered skirt of her new crepe ensemble flew out as though strpek by a sudden wind. Nancy shook her finger at Sally as she began to talk nervously. "What's this I've been hearing about yon and Ray? I'm horribly interested because you know how things stand between Bert and me since the Langley house party. Too can teU me everything, my dear. X*ni sitting with folded hands." "Nancy, I intended to tell you the whole thing, but my time's so taken np lately that I haven't had a minute to myself. Even today I'm tied up from two until six o'clock at that welfare center. I ordered the car for 1:30 and It's now," looking at her new platinum and diamond wrist watch, "exactly 1:15." "Say, why eant I take yon over there, and yon can teU me while we ride?" Nancy's inquisitive eyes saw her friend's new gift. •Okay." Sally stepped Into the car. and the gossip began. •Well, you know, that night gfter the bouse party, Ray and I sat before the fireplace watching the crackling flames. Believe me, I was peeved!" "Yeah!" Nancy held out her monogrammed cigarette. "I said to him. and these were my exact words, 'Yon saw me-in Rand Trevor's arms kissing Mm and what're yon going to do about it?'" -lost like that?" asked Nancy, admiring Sally's nonchalant manner and wishing she could be that way with Bert "Yes, and he said. In that drawly tone that always stirs me like sn earthquake, 'Rather cool and indifferent, aren't you?' Yes, he said that, and exactly the way I'm patting it, tOO.** r "Can yon imagine?" went on Nancy, slowing np In the heavy traffic, her foot on the brake. "And then, be looked me straight In the face like he was searching for something, I don't know what, and he used that Irritating 'M-m-m-m' gf his, you know how he 'does It, 'Divorce, maybe?' I was squirming over that rising note." "Sort of goosefiesh feeling!" Nancy acquiesced, knowing just how Sally felt. "That's It. Well, he wasn't going to pnt anything over on me, you bet, I told myself. I came back at him with, 'So that's the game, is it?1 Just as cool as I know how to be. 'A frame np,' I told him. 'Ray, you gave me that extra glass, threw me in the way of Rand Trevor, and our natural proximity did the rest.'" "Oh, how did you think of that, Sally? Clever, I'll say!" "Well. I kept cool, believe me! 1 asked what his plans were, rather aloof-like as though I didn't care one way or the other. And he answered that when a man found his wife in the arms of another fellow, It usually ended np in divorce. I was so het op with that slow provoking smile of his that my brain burned with a white heat and--" Sally took another puff or two and calmly flicked the ashes out of the window as if making ready for her big climax. Nancy leaned forward breathlessly. "And then?" she questioned. "I retorted, 'Not if his wife saw him kiss that peroxide blond, Erna Dixon, the same night when be thought she wasn't on the veranda.' I could see that burnt him op. And If he didn't seem amazed, then I dont know a pitcher from a batter. Honestly, he looked guilty," and Sally Angered the watch tenderly. "What happened then?" Nancy's eyes danced with excitement. "You haven't heard all of it, by any means, Nancy. Now, listen. He says, •Well, can't we say what's sauce for the goose Is sauce for the gander and resume our marital serenity?' Yon know his yen for the big sounding words since he took that correspondence course. And then, he sat down and put his arms around me. And I nestled down into a more comfortable position. It was so nice to make up," and Sally smiled as "if to herself. "But how could you forgive his kissing that golddigger?" Nancy asked. "Oh, I never saw him kiss her. That was just a yarn I'd made up. I wonder now how in the world I ever thought of it, but I guess it was my Intuition," and Sally looked admiringly at her watch. They stopped at the curb and 8ally got out. "See yon Thursday," she said. Waving good-by, Nancy remarked aloud, as she drove out of her friend's hearing, "Yeah! Her intuition! But why was Ray so ready to forget?"

Not willing to trust his own imagination, the press agent took the book with him to the office next morning, and read the passage to close associates of the producer. "Who's this?" the press agent would say, and then would begin1 to read. "You don need to go any further," the listener would reply shortly. "It's the boss.
