excuses, and when he sayeth he was de-
tanned down at the bank until the next
morning;
Or, that the last car had gone, and lie
had to walk;
or, that he was sitting up with sick
friend;
Or. that he was looking for his collar
button;
Or, that he was drawn ON the jury;
Or, that he had joined the astronomy
class;
Or, that his books wouldn't balance;
Then doth she get onto him with both
feet, for she sayeth within herself:
"All these things hath his father.in-law
said unto me, for 10, these many years.
Lo. this is also vanity and vexation Of
spirit
And for this he feareth her yet NOR,

Ten minutes later. standing in the
shadow OF the cottonwood, young Som

"Hush!" she said "they may como out

followed by his companion.
"We1l make clus search of it while
were about it." she heard him say with
in.
And then she stood there in terrible
suspense upon the porch, expecting
every instant to hear the shout that
would follow the discovery of the fugi.
tive.
But no such shout was heard; and in
stead of it, q moment later, the two men
came out again, her father laughing at
his friend.
What could it mean? Had the young
man been able to conceal himself in the
room and SO evade their search? That
was not possible. Then she thought of
the window. Could he have escaped
from the room by that? The window
was so small she could scarcely believe
that he could have crept through it.
And yet he must have done so.
She went hurredly to the back of the
house and then down beyond the horse
sheds. No one could be seen. She
halted moment under live oak tree
just at the edge of the garden. The
evening was very calm and still, and the
twilight shadows were deepening fast.
Was it the rustling of the wind in the
boughs overhead that caught her. ear?
she listened.
"Hist! I am herein the tree"
The words came in q distinct whisper
from directly above her.

"But this is not all. Let me tell you
that my experience goes TO show-and
I have made over 900 limbs-that the
railroad eatastrophes and other kinds Of

Three suits in equity have been brought

compel the company to deed certain lands
to Messrs. Grimes, Menej and Dance at
at $500 per acre. They are said to be
the first suits of the kind ever instituted.

receive titles at the rate $500 per acre.
The refusal of the company to give the
deeds at that rate on these lands has occa-
stoned the suits.-Miles City Journal.
