"Seems es if must" he told them.
1t was hard work-harder than he had
expected, but old Bess was a strong
horse, and he himself used to rough
weather.
Twelve miles were travelled without
incident or accident. The rest of the
way was lonely enough, some of it skirt
ing woods and leading through glens.
1t was wild, beautiful drive in sum-
mer, but desolate in winter. AS Mr..
Wilkins drove on, thoughts of an event
of which he had heard in town required
to his mind: "Judge Carter's little girl
was lost; missing since Tuesday; servant
took her to walk; neither of them seen
since; a thousand dollars reward!"
These had made little impression on the
busy man at the time, but now, in the
quiet of that lonely drive, they came
back in fragments. He thought of his
own little ones and of the awful weather
that had prevailed since Tuesday, the
day he had left home.
He was startled from his reverie by
the sharp barking of dog. It seemed
to come from an old building off from
the road, which, situated near a pond,
had once been used as an ice house. He
listened. Yes, that was the place from
which the noise came, and the barking
sounded as if something unusual had
happened. The ice house was deeply

had been sheltered from drifts by the
building, and small door was accessible
there. AS he opened it a handsome New
foundland dog rushed out, jumping on
him and whining for joy. Mr.. Wilkins
eyes, dazzled by the snow, could at first
see nothing, but the dog pulled him
toward the most sheltered corner of the
place, where four-year-cld girl lay.
white and motionless.
Mr.. Wilkins dropped down beside her
and felt her hands, head, and finally
her heart. The little one was not dead,
as he first thought, and his chief care
was to revive her. Being utterly ex-
hausted, all he could do at first was to
fold her in his arms under his overcoat
Presently he started for the sleigh, fol-
lowed by the faithful dog whose devo-
ton had perhaps saved the child's life
He was anxious to reach the sleigh, for
he had bethought himself of bottle of
milk which his host had put up with a
lunch for him. That and the air seemed
to revive the child. She chung to him,
crying, until the dog poked his nose into
her hand as he sat beside them on the
sleigh seat. Then she smiled and tried
to pat him, calling him "Nelo," her
word for "Nero," which was the name
on his collar. AS soon as she had recov-
cred sufficiently to sit up. Mr.. Wilkins
drove on towards home, planning to
send word by the next person that passed
his house bound downward, for he felt
sure this was Judge Carriers lost daugh-
ter.
His work was not over when he preached
home, and saw the little group waiting
in the window for him. 1t was necessary
to shovel his way in. His wife threw a
rope to him from the loft window, at
taching a shovel on the other end SO that
he could haul it out. When the way was
clear he brought the now sleeping child
in, and told how he had found her and
the story he had heard.
Then what a talking and running to

THE RESCUE.

filled with drifts, which lay thick be-
tween it and the road. He couldn't get
through easily. 1t would hinder him in
his journey, too. Perhaps he wouldn't
see home that night, he said to himself.
So he drove on.
What made him connect that dogs
barking with the story Of the lost child?
He couldn't seem to get rid of that. He
stopped, and again measured the dis
lance and the height of the drifts, de-
cided that it wasn't worth while to get
through them "jist fur a dog" as he
tried to make himself believe, and again
started.
"What if it was your child?" The
thought stung him.
swell, here goesl' he said, and suited
the action to the word by covering his
horse with the sleigh robe and striking
out for the house. 1t was struggle
even for the hardy farmer. AS he neared
the place the barking grew louder. The
door on the side toward him was almost
covered, so he made for the - TA"'

out going out.
When Mrs. Wilkins awoke, her first
thought was of the night before and her
look out, but the snow covered every
thing. Much frightened, she climbed to
the loft of the one story house. Looking
from the window, she perceived that not
a person could be seen. The roads were
piled with great white drifts, and the
only house in sight, also low one, was
partially covered. Over all the sun was
shining brightly. She say at glance
that a sleigh could not 81 through the
roads on that day and possibly not on
the next. Then she went down and
awoke the children.

At this little Elsie showed signs of

"But we'll have Thanksgivin' when he
does come, Elsie. P'r'aps he'll come to-

She got up, took the child to the win
dow where the world was visible from
one of the upper panes, and held her up.
"The suns shinin' as nice as can be.

we'll see father an old Bess comm down

This diverted Elsie, and she chartered
gayly while her mother dressed her.

of the small peep hole left by the snow.

"What will we have to eat, mother?'
he inquired.

After their breakfast of fried pork and
johnny cake she went to feed the chick

seemed 'kind O. lonesome" as Bob said.
No one passed all day. The sun shone
out warm and bright, and, though they
could not perceive it, was doing slowly
but surely it's good work for them. Bob
looked out Of the one pane of glass SO
long that he was tired. And it was no
wonder, for he had to stand on tiptoe on
the window sill to see out at all.
So the day wore on. When the chill
dren fretted their good mother talked
about what father would bring, and how
sure she was that he would come on the
next day-the day of their great feast
itself. She wasn't at all sure when she
first said so, but this was her way Of
keeping her own hopes up, and she sue

Wednesday had passed slowly to Mr..

he was staying. When he started for

notion" of trying to get through such a

"Mary," "ride," doggy" and "big
man" were all she could say plainly
about where she had been. Perhaps no
one could understand her sweet prattlo
but her mother. At the thought of that
sorrowing woman, Mrs. Wilkins said
with tears in her eyes:
80 Samuel, I'm just grieved thinkin'
about this baby's mother. When can We
send word?"
"Likes not some one'll be goin' to town
in the mornin', Mirandy," he replied.
After drinking cup of tea which his
wife had prepared while he worked, Mr..
Wilkins started out to get his horse and
sleigh under cover. This done, he prs.
pared for pleasant evening with his
family. After the children had asked
questions to their hearts content about
his adventure, the talk drifted around 70

AT LAST IN HIS ELEMENT.

When it was mooted about that
Blaine would be Harrison's secretary
of state the verdict Immediately was:
this will then be simply a Blaine adj
ministration. But it seems Harrison
has decided will of his own, and it
has been an open secret at Washing
ton that Mr.. Blaine has only been
playing a moderate second fiddle in
the Harrison orchestra. He has not
dealt out patronage as his friends
fondly ina, lined he would be able to
do and has not been in Harrison's
confidence to the degree expected.
But at last his day has come. In
dealing with the two great interna-
tional bodies that have recently met
in Washington he will be in his
bright, particular glory. Admittedly
one of the broadcast and deepest think
ers in the Republican party, he
is now IN position to put
that party on record, touching certain
great national questions. He is pc
culiarly equipped by study and ex
perience to preside over the DELHI
eritions of the pan-American congress.
His welcoming speech to that body of
delegates surely demonstrated his
ability to conceal when need required a.,
ideas with words, to cloak uniformed
and even mature intentions with
beautiful rhetoric. The question
of the tariff was by American
statesman in speech concerning in
ternational affairs, never so skillfully
avoided as by this great exponent OF a
high protective sca'e. Blaine has, we
think, forever failed of attaining his
pet ambition, the presidency-but he
has in the opportunities now thrust
upon him, field of action in which to
perform work that will make him in
this nations history always and
deservedly famous.

THE HALL-HoGG CONTROVERSY.

THE ia Ll-hOOU OONIhON EhS1'
We print this morning the rejoin-
der OF Commissioner Hall to the at
torney generals letter. Will it not
now be theyjudgment of every candid,
unbiased citizen that the limit of pro-
priety in the discussion has been
reached? 1t has been Greek
against Greek. The discussion
has been thorough. All the
salient points in the controversy
would seem to have been covered on
both sides. Each gladiator in the
ring has made all his best thruts,
delivered all his most telling blows.
Can the controversy be longer con-
tinued without carrying the dispute
into the Improbable domain of per-
sonality? AS with two attorneys at
the bar the argument is exhausted.
The case can now go to the
jury-the people of Texas-who
will doubtless not only make up
but express their verdict. The ques-
tion whether the Central railway is
entitledsto land on account of outin gs
and sidings so ably debated
by Hogg and Hall, may be
issue for the courts eventually to settle,
but the people of the state, neverthe-
less, can also have their say upon it,
and the Hogg-Hall controversy Pre-
sents the opportunity of expression on
one of the most important issues
that has been sprung in Texas for
MANY wears.
