Lassle G1rae.
Charles Cpnrad has 1t last succeeded in
securing possession Of his little daughter,
and tho way be did it Il least evinccs a
dstermiEation on his part not to be
banked ia any enterprise, when his heart
10 il The work. For two years he has
been ~endeavoring to accomplish this
object, and has 6naily succeeded through
the use Of forciblo means. COnrad will
be remembered as the man who SHOT the
horse thief. Mcmahon, ct the st. Charles
hotel : year ago last Christmas. for which
he spent seven or eight months In the
Yankton county Jail. Conrad's wife WA
the mistress of Nc ahon, aud the two
were cndeavoring to prevent him from
securing custody Of the little girl, who is
one Of the three children belonging to
Mr.. and Mrs Conrad, the other W being
aiready under the guardianship Of their
father. The shooting referred to grew
out Of McAfahOn's efforts to prevent Con.
nd from carrying out his designs. The
little girl was in charge Of Mrs. Conrd's
father and mother, 1t Ponca, Nebraska.
Last Tuesday, Conrad determined to in
wade the cnemy's camp, secure possession
Of the little one, and get back to Dakota
40 quickly as possible. Procuring a skif
he started from Yankton on his expedition
and In the afternoon reached his destina-
ton. The skif was placed in a position
where it could be readily secured when
the suspicious moment arrived and then
Conrad stole quietly up through the I'm :
derbFusli and secured a concealed position
alongside tha road leading from the Ponca
shoot house to the residence Of Mrs. Con-
RAIDS parents. lie had previously con-
cluded that II was about time for the
school to be dismissed, aud that his little
girl would come that way on her return
home. III q few moments she made her
appearance, tripping lightly down the
dusty road, all unconscious that she was
50 % to be restored to the armes OF her
paternal parent. When she was conven
ientiy near, Cnprad darted from his o
ceAiement And seized her. She screamed
md kicked and scratched and made every
resistance possible, but Conrad picked
her up and started on his mile run to the
river. taking the course Of a deep gulch
in his retreat. Meantime the n%eighbnr
hood had become aroused and pursanrs
were on his track A couple Of men
succeeded in heading him off near
the foot Of the gulch aud to them
the game seemed up. But Conrad
pulled a six shooter and they
gave him a clear track to the river, which
he reached without further interruption.
Dcpositing his precious burden in the
skiff he rowed quickly across the Mis-
souri,, landed on the Dakota side, made
his way to the depot in Elk Point time
for the train that night landed in Yank
ton with his little daughter. Conrad
considers this . good days work. 1t
looks like oil Of that. Now that he has
finally succeeded in securing possession OF
bis daughter he proposes to keep her,
provide for her, educate her and bring
her up in the way she should go.-I'ress

New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1878-02-27
You Had q Smooth Path.

One morning, when went to school,
In the long vanished yesterday,
I found the creek had burst its banks,
And spilled its waters DER my way.
The little path was filed with mud;
/ tried to cross it on a log;
My foot slipped, and I helpless, fell
Into mass of miry bog.
My clothes were pitiful to see;
NY hands and face were covered quite.
The children laughed right heartily,
And jcered me when came in sight
Sweet Jessie Brown, in snow-white dress,
Stood, smiling, by the teachers desk,
The while he, gravely as he might,
Inquired the secret of my plight.
Then Jessie shook her snow-white dress,
And said, What willyou give to me
For coming here so nice and clean?
Myyery shoes from dirt are free"
The tutor frowned, and answered her,
"You merit no reward to-day;
, Your clothes and hands are clean because
You had a smooth path all the way"
And SO, I think, when children grown
Are white in grace, or black with SIN,
We should not judge until we know
The path fate had them travel in;
For some are led on sunny heights,
Beyond the power of Sin to sway;
While others grope in darksome paths,
And face temptation all the way.
