from her canoe paddle, and taking
cotton from her clothing, she was able 20
start fire by striking percussion cap
in the midst Of bunch of cotton with a
little powder scattered through it. 1t
took her till noon to take the skins from
the wolves, and by the middle OF the after
noon the severe cold had frozen the lake
in its narrowest part, 50 that she ventured
to cross. In order TO take her wolf skins
across, she WAS obliged to make little
/ sledge of the crotch of small tree. Of
course there had been great distress at
home on account Of her. absence, and
great was .he Joy at erreturn.
On the next Monday she put her furs
on sled and started for St. Paul. When
she got to Mankato she took load OF
wheat for st. Paul, getting good round
price for hauling it. Arriving in the
city her first care was to find Harry and
to cheer him up, which she did most ef-
fectually. lie said her merry laugh was
better than all the medicine in the world
She told Harry that if she could get a
| load back she thought her furs would be
sufficient to pay for forty acres, ard the
other hundred ard twenty they would
have to let old Van Dyke" as she called
/ him, have.
"And so you've turned teamster, have
you, little woodchuck ?" said Harry,
raising himself up in bed.
Anything to save you and the old
home, Harry"
That day she sold her furs. What was
her surprise to find that the rare and
beautiful silver gray fox was worth not
only ten dollars, but sixty five, for the
average value of black or silver gray
! skins is fifty dollars, and hers was an
uncom monly fine one. And then, too,
an extraordinary demand for mInks had
carried them up to three times the price
offered by Van Dyke, and even her
muskrats were worth twice what he had
offered, and she got well paid for her
wolf skins. Aud to this Harrys back
pay, that he had just received, was
added, and ;here was more than enough
to enter the whole clam. When Polly
got home she did not tell any of her
neighhors that she had stopped at the
land office of st. Paul on her way back
and entered the claim. And Van Dyke,
who did not know that she had taken n
load both ways, nor how many furs she
had, came over to see Harry, who was
now able to walk about.
Mr.. Strader," said he, I suppose
you will be able to pre-empt forty acres
Of this, and | mean to buy tho other
three forties. Your sister has been n
little saucy, but / want to obligo yoI,
and if you'll let me buy in this forty
with the house on don't mind paying
you little something to start you on a
new claim"
" | couldn't make such Gn arrange
ment, sir" SAID Harry.
Why ?" said Van Dyke.
" Because my sister, whom you tried
to swindle, entered the whole claim on
her way back from St. Paul. And
now, sir, there is the door !" And the
crest-falien " land shark left.

MISUNDERSTANDING Caiialslthr0ugA
Those lands living between bayoris

certain right of tax upon all prep

The commissioners are now pre-
pared to begin operations, and
have contracted for the opening of

into tide water of the Gull, will re
slieve "a large tract of tile country
from superintendent water, re
claiming about 1000 acres OF pri-
waite property, and about 150,0D0
acres of the granted lands, which.
lands will be in condition to pro-
,duce cane, rice, command pasturage.
The owners of lands in fine dis
trict have voluntarily contributed
largely to the business of the com
thus anticipating the.
payment of their taxes. The con
TRACTORS are constructing, at Lock
