lChicago Herald street Stories-'1
Among the arrivals at the Northwestern
depot were q strange looking couple, the
nan wearing a buffalo-skin coat and the
woman a long sack made Of the same
material, dress trimmed with it,
and shoes lined with it BE was
perhaps 40 years Of age, but she did not
appear to be more than o. After looking
around awhile he confided in porter and
asked to be shown to decent hotel where be
could stop a few days
The fact is he observed, 1--WE are on our
wedding tour, and while I'm not bonanza
man exactly I've go. enough to see this town
with, and I'm going to do it.
After the porter had named over half .
dozen hotels and made himself otherwise
agreeable the traveller insisted on introduc-
ing him TO his wife When the porter was
presented to Mrs John Fellows the proud
husband said
There now, Jennie, / told you I'd intro
duce You in society, but this is only the be-
ginning
The porter showed signs OF wanting to
get away, bnt Mr.. Fellows chung TO him
You don't know how we came TO be mar
ried, do you, No, I'll bet you don't We'll,
now, I'll tell you We're from Eagle City,
Idaho; right from the mines, you might say.
I've been there a year, but Mrs. Fellows,
here came only about six months ago re-
member mighty well the day she hoofed it
In, don't /, Jennie. Well, / should smile.
There was gang of them, and when they
came over the mountains the snow was
moren neck deep and j. was cold enough to
put frost on the windows Of tophet
We'll. as was saying, there were lots Of
young fellows coming in who didn't have no
business in that hard country, and one Of
them in this batch felt kinder sorry for.
He was slight little chap not more'n up to
my shoulders, and there was a kind Of q
good look about his eyes and mouth some
how. So when saw that he didn't have no
grub and no dust and not much muscle and
no liquor took mercy on him and told him
if he'd be my partner we'd go it together,
and | would see that he got feed enough.
Well, sir, he swollered that bait-hook, line
and all, and We worked together for three
or four months I've seen richer claims
than mine. but it yields enough to keep
me from grumbling. and that's more'n
most of them do. Well, as was saying, my
pardner made himself useful in good many
ways. He was mighty good cook-the
best cook ever saw, and be wasn't no SLOUGH
either with pick and shovel One day this
fall he got kinder sick and took care OF
him, and finally, when he got worse
thought Id just go the camp and get doctor.
He didn't want no doctor, but got one.
When the doctor came in l hung around
awhile and then went out on an errand.
As entered the cabin again the boy was
crying and the doctor tax Is me OF one side,
and, says he:
Your pard is woman
Git OUT says l.
Its fact says he. She just told
me so.'
We'll, that broke me up worse than a
dynamite explosion / was ashamed, and l
said: Take her away, doc; she's your'n',
but he says: No, sir; she's sick, and you
must take care Of her
Then thought it all over and made up
my mind l would The doc and nursed
her for four weeks, and when she got so she
could sit up-mind you I'd never said a word
to her yeti says, solemn like, What's yer
name, pleasei and she looked on the floor
and says: Jennie Good enough says l.
Jennie. will you De my wifef and she says,
You bet, and that settled it. We had the
parson come up the next day and We made
up this here outfit for welding tour, and
that's what we're dom now
