through the recognized channels of their
own church. Truly yours,

Warren dismounted from his pony, and
stood for moment, his arm resting onIthe
animals name. His eyes grew dim, and a
great lump choked his throat, as he read the
story OF anguish and suffering In the dead
face before him. Old Pritner was winking
hard, a big saltry drop hanging from the tip
Of his nose. Jake was swearing hard under
| his breath. Poor old Jakel But it was the
only relief he could find for feelings that
were too strong for him Che had no thought
Of desecrating the presence of the dead, and
to which he had been stranger for many
years.
AT last. Warren was the first to break the
| silence.
"Pritner, you lift her up to me-" he said,
and climbed back into his saddle.
Pritner stepped forward to the frozen clay,
and as he stopped to gather the frail figure
In his strong arms, he gazed In wonder at
the TRANSPORTED face. The sun. was fast
sinking, and In its adieu it kissed with
lingering tenderness the upturned face OF
the dead girl. A last warm caress of the
loving eyes that would kindle with life and
| gladness at his smile no more. The sight
was not new to. him; he had looked upon
many frozen face, upturned to. his light
ana warmth upon these snow-clad prairies,
yet ne seemed to linger upon the sweet calm
It to the shadows and the night. Of what
this little woman had suffered ere Death
| took her In his arms, none knew save the
Intimate One who had sent His angel to
release and take her home.
But sad as death is, we grieve for those
who stay.-not for those who go; and the
was mortal Of Matte Ads across the snowy
waste in the evening light, were for the
sorrowIng sister left behind-the gentle,
loving Sue.

All right" Warren had replied; .'yor

Get back as soon as you can" And they
had ridden off to Primers ranch, only three
miles or SO away, leaving himself and Joe tC
continue the search, for Joe never left trail
to eat or sleep until driven to it. And wher
the men returned the two trailers were fal
ahead, moving toward the southeast. Joe
had given up trailing, for there was no trail
but looked only for evidences of the direc
tion taken by the girl. The line soon over
took then, and Warren resumed his place
In the center: Joe dropped behind and wa:
soon left far in the rear.
AS the sun was slowly dropping toward
the bluffs on the western side of the river
the men were startled by two shots, fired in
rapid succession, coming from the direction
OF a dry lake-bed that lay to the left of and
some distance behind the left of the line
AS the reports came rolling across the snow
covered prairie to Warren, he wheeled his
d0ny, and calculating, "Found!s spurred in
the direction from which the sound had
seemed to come. He remembered, as he tore
along as fast as the fleet little animal could
carry him, that it was off here in this direc.

must have fired the shots.

looking, no man in the little band ever forgot
the sight that met his gaze. This 'dry lake
was natural reservoir for the melted snow
and for the rains of spring, and from the
moisture thus given, the grass, during the
spring and summer months, grew tall and
rank. Old Printer had cut it the preceding
fall, and piled it in huge stacks, to feed from
when needed. In the side of one of these
stacks, facing the south, crouched the frozen
form of the little "school marm."
The blizzard has conquered. The pitiiess
fiends of storm and wind had wrested the
brave spirit from the frail little body, and
added another to the long list of victims OF
Dakota's frightful winters. She sat in a
crouching attitude, half-leaning back against
the stack, the little mittened hands clasped
upon her knees the marble face, from which

the gentle eyes, over which thin film of ice
had formed, were raised as though in sup
plication to the God of storms. Oh! the
yearning agony CT the frost-clad features
and yet there was certain peace in the
frozen face, as If an angel had whispered an
answer to the prayer, even as the icy fingers
Of death had touched and stilied the warm
little heart forever.

The Story Of Patsy. By Kate Douglas
Wiggin. From the authors experience in
Kindergarten work in San Francisco, she
has taken the material for this tender, sad
little sketch. She has the happy, faclIity--so
useful in real life, so agreeable in literature
of rapid and easy transition from serious to
bright words. The humor and pathos, and
above all, the sincere humanity Of this little
story will win favor from its readers. In
point of literary merit, 1t is much better
than the authors earlier story, The Birds
Christmas Carol, because more free from dis
tinct intent and effort to move tears and
laughter. The Illustrations, by Mrs. Jessie
Mcdowell, are very winning; and the little
volume is tastefully bound In terra-cotta
boards. Boston and New York: Houghton,
Mifin & Co.; Portland: Loring, Short &

PERSONALS.

The Democrats of the Second Assembly district
of Passaic county have nominated John F. Kerr,
a lawyer who is well liked, for member Of
Assembly.
Ex-senator Griggs said recently that the Re.
publican meeting held Wednesday at Trenton
was the greatest demonstration he ever saw,
He ought to go just once to an Albeit meeting
and have his eyes opened.
AT Princeton College the Junior Glass officers
have been elected as follows:-President, j.. s.
Black; vice president, w. c. Spicer; secretary
and treasurer, c. A. Gordon. Baseball manager,
F. c. Jones.
In the Second Assembly district of Monmouth
county it is understood that George Washington
Patterson, of Asbury Park, wants the Demo
cratic nomination. Mr.. Patterson says he will
not seek the nomination, but if his friends choose
him, he does not see now he can refuse. Alber
McCabe, of Asbury Park, also wants the nomina
ton, and at Long Branch there are two aspiranti
for the office. These are Thomas P. Fay ant
William D. Campbell. The latter's chances are
considered the best.

afraid to talk we would suggest that
