Of southeastern Dakota and the on

receive an influx of neW population
and capital which vii! give them a

is one of the great streams of the
world, being a mile wide at a point GOO
miles above it's mouth, and is estimat-
ed as 1,S0O miles long. The course of
the river has never been explored.
An act was passed by the last legis-
lature. by which all railroad lands in
Dakota are exempt from taxation, 50
long as they remain the property OF a
railroad corporation, whether it is usc-
essary to operate the road or not. This
bill is almost certain to stimulate gran
ger warfare against corporations and
in the end prove disastrous to the COM
panies operating in Dakota.

a few moments later a crowd OF
| liverled servants came out and the
two ladies were ushered into the
palace, large, gloomy-looking
building, while Gabriel, feeling
very disconsolate at the loss of IneZ,
drove away to the French legation,
where he reported TO his chief and
told him what he had done, inclu-
ding his informal duel with the
Prince of Potsdam, Murat's rebuke
and the escort with which he had
been honOred.
General Duroc listened with in
terest, and took the dispatches
which the emperor had sent him,
which he perused carefully. When
he had finished, he looked at Ga
briel in a manner indicative of sur
prise.
"You say his majesty intrusted
you with the escort of the Princess
of Potsdam, that is to be?' .s
"Yes, general"
"And you lett the Prince OF Pots
dam at the other side Of our ar
my?" ... ..t
"HeS, general" .... dbl. .. r..
Duroc looked at him again in the
same singular way and asked, dry
ly:
"Captain Lenoir, did you ever
make love in your life?'
Gabriel flushed scarlet.
"No, general-that is-no, gen.
eral."
every we'll. sir, then 1t is time
you begin. We go to a grand ball
at the palace tonight, and this Mad
emoiselle Real will be there with
her old she-dragon in attendance.
You understand, captain, that 1 can
not keep my Gttdcies from amusing
themselves, and you are good
looking fellow. 1t will be perfectly
proper for you to show attention to
these French ladies, who have no
friends in Berlin till the prince
comes. By-the-by, how long, think
you, will it be before the prince Is
entirely well of his little thrust in
the shoulder ?"
"About month general"
Every good. You have three
weeks, then, in which to use your
time as becomes a gallant French
man. 1t is necessary to keep things
in suspense here. You don't fail to
understand me, l suppose a"

HALF WAY IN LOVE.

You have come, then, how very clever!
thought you would scarcely try;
/ was doubtful myself-howeVer,
You have come, and so nave L.
How cool it is here, and pretty!
You are vexed Pm afraid m late
You've been waiting-O what a pity
And it's almost half-past eight.
So it is; l can hear it striking
Out there in the gray church tower
Why, wonder at your liking
To wait for me half an hour
am sorry what have you been doing
All the while down here by the pool?
Do you hear the wild dove coolng!
How nice it is here, and cool!
How that elder piles and masses
Her great blooms snowy sweet;
Do you see through the Serrled grasses
The fOrget-me-notS at your feet?
And the fringe of flags that incloses
The water; and how the place
Is alive with the pink dog roses
Soft colored like your face!
You like them shall pick one
For badge and coin of June?
They are lovely, but they prick one
And they always face so soon.
Here's your rose. think love like this is
That buds between two signs,
And flowers between two kisses,
And when it's gathered dies.
1t were surely a grievous thing, love,
That love should fade in ones sight;
1t were better surely to fling love
Off while its bloom is bright.
The frail life will not inger,
Best throw the rose away,
Though the thorns having scratched one1
finger
viii hurt for half day.
What you'd rather keep 1t, and see 1t
Fade and its petals fall
if you will, Amen, so be 1t;
You may be right after all.
