The brethren did see. The "Majah was known

chairman, and "Maiah" Podger, "Jedge" Ke-
ayrter Elder Stukey, Deacon Fulsome, Young Lin

Thrilling.

The following thrilling description of a
fire appeared IN a Colorado contemporary: Tues
day morning last the cry of fire rang out on the
still air about eight O'Clock in the morning
Rushing out of stores and houses the crowd OF
citizens saw q column of smoke pouring out of the
adobe building corner of Fifth and streets like
the signal of the Utes from the mountain heights
when expecting an incursion from the Arapahoes,
Modocs prospectors, or other such foes. The brave
firemen of our town rushed TO the engine house
for the new double squirt but alas it had not ar
rived. With almost superhumnn energy ladder
at least twelve feet long was put up against the
front of the building. Then the anxious eyes of
the people sew the foreman, Henry Townsend,
and Wing Sing sprngng to the roof at the peril of
their lives and throw buckets of water upon the
fire. As the fire was i'll the iue and caught from
the stove pipe the daring firemen and Wing Sing
put it out. Thus was ar-reaching conhagration

1Ou cannot nave my daughter, sir.
These words were spoken i'll stern tone by John
McWhirter, the rich banker to Arthur AnSleigh,
a noble-loOking young man of twenty two au-
! tumns who stood in a haughtily defiant attitude
before the purse proud millionaire. whose pedigree
traced back to q packing house, while Authur's
ancestors were among the earliest gaugers in the
country. But misfortunes and revenue officers had
overtaken many of them, and the family estates
had long since passed into the hands of the law
yers who defended the cases.
Beware, old man." said Arthur Some day
you will bitterly repent this action. Mabel and
love each other dearly. Nothing but death can
separate us"-and, as the font door changed
heavily at his back the tearstained face of Mabel
might have been seen peering over the banisters.
The year strobe on apace.
1t might just as we'll have gone on trot, but it
preferred to pace.
Mabel knew this. She also knew that it would
be necessary ere long to have a new bonnet and
some Easter hose and things. But she did not de-
spair- Often when her mother came unexpectedly
into the room and found her weeping she would
pass the matter Off lightly, saying it was only a
book she had been reading that made her feel
bad. 81 must not give it away" she would say
sadly to herself "AIy darling mamma has enough
to bear figuring to get seaskin sacGue cut Of the
old gent; heaven forfend that l should add to her
weight of Woe"

The next night Arthur again asked for Mabers
hand For an instant her father hesitated but lust
then his eye wandered idly to the piano, and he
saw in the rack piece of music. Take her, my
boy" he said suddenly and earnestly to Arthur.
Heaven help-no, bless you"
Can you guess what that piece of music wasI

Arthur was sick.

WAS SICK.
Sicker than horse.
IWho originated this comparison? Nobody
knows. 1t is something that has come down to us
from the dim vista of the past, when horses were
worth more than men. Dim vista is a pretty good
expression to ring in on the unsuspecting reader
1t makes him think you are pretty fy on Ian
guage.l
Arthur was deadly pale. He thought his time
had come. There rap at the door. man
came in. He had a bottle OF pickles.
Arthur was saved.
There is nothing like pickles to sober up on.
Mabel sat at the piano, her fingers wandering
listlessly over the keys. Suddenly she began to
play in q weird melancholy strain that reminded
one of fugue. There is nothing so weird as a
fugue well played. 1t beats a dog for keeping
people away from the house. The girls father en-
tered the house unperceived, and stood silently in
the parlor door gazing at his child. Suddenly the
music ceased, and Mabel sat looking wistfully ont
of the window. Once again she turned to the
piano, and as the first notes of Empty Is the
Cradle, Baby's gone" reached the old man he
went sadly away. Every man has his limit
Mabel had not seen him, and sang the song
through. On rising from the piano she noticed
her sire's overshOes in the front hail. and knew
that he must have heard the singing.
Good heavens" !" she exclaimed, a sense of her
position flashing across her mind; {" have cooked
my goose now, for sure"

Chaplain Of tue Temple of Honor,

cause.
J. V. Brewer, of st. Cloud, one of
the incorporators of the Sank Centre
and Northern railroad project, was in
Wadena Friday and Saturday, in the
interest of the above named road.
We acknowledge a pleasant call. He
has every belief that the bonds will
be voted in aid of the road, as they
only draw five per cent. interest, and
according to the Todd Co. Argus,
there is some $4,000 taxes due that
county on spectators lands, which
would pay the interest for four years.
If Todd Co. really wants a railroad,
now is her time to get it.
