hinge, the Postoffice boxes were scat
tered, and the Cyclone lay in heap
at the base of the woodpile with two
window sash around his neck. Tom
my proceeded to regulate matters and
pull Marks out from under the safe,
which had been overturned in the dis.
turbance. The Cyclone appeared at
the moment conquered, but not dis
couraged. Struggling to throw off
the alliance between himself and the
window frames, he raised to his full
hight, when his eye caught the word
"Restaurant," and he moved IN that
direction, entered and took seat.
The regular proprietor and waitress
being absent, Mr.. Faughner, tempo
rary waiter, approached the Cyclone
and asked him what he would have,
to which he replied: "Bring me
sufficient supply of nutritious aliment
that l may dispell the vacuum which
nature abhors."
The waiter, somewhat amazed, said:
81 don't know what you name, but
think you want something to ate"
4 rcpast was spread before the
sweeper of the prairies, which was
swept out of sight in short order, de-
monstrating to the mind of the waiter
that the guest had one visible inherit
ance-a colossal appetite. After de-
vouring everything in sight the Cy
clone called for toothpick, and with
"See you later" marched off.
Once more in the street, the popu-
lar idea must have come to mind that
no true gentleman ever visits the
camp without calling at kayser's. So,
for kayser's he headed, followed by
the crowd that became interested in
his movements. The Cyclone entered
and announced his arrival by knock
ing two lamps out of the chandelier.
Giving himself plenty of room in the
crowd, he advanced to the bar, upon
which he placed his two elbows, and
inquired: care you kayser?:" From
the inside of the bar came a voice,
accompanied by a rich foreign accent,
saying, ayes, sir; ! am kayser. What
do you want with me?"
The Cyclone made answer: "In
me you may behold wreck of that
glorious past of which am about to
speak. But, bear with me. ! am the
Cyclone Of the Prairies, who, when
aroused, have spread death and de
struction in my path"
Kayser (soothingly)-"Yes, my boy;
see you are little windy, and must
blow off. 1t is the way with the
Cranks."
The Cyclonc-"l feel the thirst
