1t was but the work of moment for
Ephraim to call up sleepy but clerical
looking man in upper five, also in paja-
mas, who quietly slid down into the
drawing room and in the presence of the
sleeping car conductor and porter made
the two man and wife.
And what of Henry Henshall, the
hero and artistic ass Of this story?
Leaving his art to shirk for itself, and
forgetting that he had promised on that
very day to paint two large barns for a
party in Oakland, he fought madly for a
place on the train in order to follow an
unknown faxen haired fiddler, who
did not care cent for him or his art.
Henry Henshall was not bad man, but
he needed some great calamity or severe
conclusion to jolt a little sense into him.
That was all. Life had been too smooth
with him. He had painted several
portraits of Beatrice Cenci, which had
been accepted by the family and paid
for, yet after all he needed something
that would almost kill him, but not
quite. This would, the doctor thought,
knock the talents out of him, and give
him an ambition to do as he agreed and
pay his debts.
Such an episode was in store for him.
For, by strange fatality, this train he
rode upon few nights later although

Even the wind trod SorJiy over Ino
scorched and withered grass, and the
well fabricated moon stole in and out
among the clouds without creak, with
the exception of Bitter creek, of course,
which laved its alkali shores in the eter-
nal solitudes, and bleached still winter,
as the years went by, the snowy bones
of those who once had sought to invade
this great undertaking establishment OF
nature-this petrified hush of centuries.
But what sound is this that gently
beats upon the tense drum of the listen
er's ear?
The distant jar and gentle palpitations
of coming train from the west!
Scarcely do we hear this and catch the
yellow twinkle of headlight when an
other muffied roar from the east and
little crawling light growing rapidly out
of the dusk and distance swallow the
intervening miles, and in a flash the two
screaming. snorting, painting monsters
have met like mail clad giants in a
mighty tournament.
Come to the bridal chamber, Death!
Come to the mother when she feels
For the first time her first born's breath:
Come when the blessed seals
Which close the pestilence are broke
And crowded cities wall its stroke.
Come in Consumptions CHASTITY forml
The earthquakes shock, the oceans storm;
Come when the heart beats high and warm
With banquet, song and dance and wine,
And thou art terrible. The tear q.
The groan, the knell, the pail, the bier
And all we know or dream or fear,
OF agony art thine.
But to the heart where love is dead
And hope is kneeling DER its bier.
Thy face with Joy is overspread
And SO lights out with bounding tread
The soul that only sorrowed here
When Lena awoke with this dull pain
in her head she felt certain that she was
dead, and was almost tickled to death to
think that her sad heart would sorrow
no more and that Harry was free; but
almost at once came the smell of hot
varnish and the slight suspicion of an
overdone porter who ought to be turned
over.
Great Gawd," she said, as her breath
came in brief pants, "the car is on fire.
must go away"
To spectator who might have seen
the collision it would have seemed i'm
possible that living thing could come
out of this terrible wreck and holocaust;
but ere long venerable apple worm
crawled out of the cool side of nice
eating apple. and seeing that he could
be of no further use on board the train,
came out of the car and skunk away in
the darkness.
Soon the cheerful car stove begins to
get in its work, and the chaos of broken
woodwork begins to burn, at first slow
", then, as the swift winds of the
plains catch it, the red blaze leaps out
and greets the frightened night with
cackling laugh.

OUR ILLUSTRATED PAPER

IL ~ =
The LEADERS, illustrated edition Of
$4,000 is issued today and a copy of it
sent put to each regular subscriber. Its
publication has required time, labor and
expense. but they have been cheerfully be-
slowed in the confident expectation that
the result would meet with popular APP
proval and prove a gratifying advertise
ment to the state and territory.
All the engravings IN the edition were
made from sketches executed in this
office. and we believe will prove more sat
isfactory than any other method that
could have been pursued. These were
especially valuable in the larger engrav-
ings such as the capitol, birdseye view of
the shops and birdseye view of the busi-
ness section. which could not otherwise
have been adequately depicted.
No reasonable expense has beeL spared
in getting out the edition. With the ex-
oeption Of the engraving all the work on
the edition was done in this office in the
belief that the newspaper facilities of a
community stamp its resources and give
an insight into its enterprise.
The paper will be on sale in THE
LEADER business Office and on the news
stands this morning. 1t may be secured
ready folded in lots up to a thousand OF
more copies, or less as may be desired. 1t
should be scattered broadcast as a pictor-
ial representation of the handsome est town

1t has been noticed that there are not
nearly so many Caledonian games booked
for the summer as in former years, when
all through the northern part Of the
United States and southern part OF
canada so many towns would
hold games, The opinion seems to
be among Scotchmen that one reason for
the decline Is that on account of money
prizes being given many athletes were de-
veloped who made specialties at one or
two events and this set would go through
the circuit winning all the prizes and
actually killing competition, which people
who attended the games expected to see.
Athletes who take part in these games say
that although there are not so many small
games given there are more good ones
now than ever, for the large cities in
America continue to hold their customary
contests and are giving better prizes than
formerly.

The recent great performance OF IL #
~ in. for standing broad jump without
weights by Joseph Darby, OF England, and
his clearing on the same day with dumb
bells "a #. 9 in. for a standing jump have
caused discussions concerning the merit
of the two performances. The worlds
record for n standing broad jump with
dumbbells is IA #. 81 in, by George w.
Hamilton, of America, and Hamilton never
saw the day when he could clear over 10 #.
in. without weights. He estimated that
there should be-a difference Of 4 feet be-
tween jumping with and without weights,
and TINT to fit Darby's case would make
the Englishman able to clear over 10 feet
with the dumbbells. His IL #. N in.
without weights is a tremendous spring
when II is taken into consideration that 1t
was lone on level ground with no artificial
aid. Many think he is keeping quiet in re-
gard to what he can do with weights,

1T is seldom that one lar unites in
himself the two almost contradictory ele-
ments of being on the one hand a practi-
cal man of affairs, and on the other a
t~Ireless student, not only III the literature
of his own profession, but in the broader
fields Of general literature-to be pre-emi-
nently safe as a counsellor and at the
same tune matchless in conducting a case
before the jury-fo unite the calm philoso-
ply of temperament which comes from
studious contemplation with a comprehen-
sive and sympathetic grasp Of common
concerns and every day affairs. These
characteristics William Wellington Cor
lett united in a marvellous degree that
would have made him a marked man in a
much broader field Of action than Wyom-
ing afforded him.
Mr.. Corlett was a man of quick appre-
hension, yet the handspring of his action
was always sound judgment and not i'm
pulse. He was essentially a modest and
unassuming man. with none of the at
tributes of the self seeker and devoid Of
hat spirit of aggressive sel6shness which
stops short at nothing in the scramble for
preierment and riches. His talents rem
dered him conspicuous; his honesty OF
purpose brought him close to the heart of
the people. and his independence of
cliques raised him above the plane of
the self complacent statesmen who con-
tinually pose before the people waiting to
be crowned with a laurel wreath. He was
a cool, self-poised man, with the innate
courtesy OF a true gentleman. His talent
made him the peer of any of his asso-
%ciates; his ability brought with it no AFRO
rogance, and the humblest citizen found
him as affable and easy of approach as the
wealthiest.
What Corlett accomplished is now part
of the history of Wyoming; what he
might have accomplished with vigorous
health in the rapidly broadening field
which lay before him can only be coniec-
tured from his record in the past. He
had the mental capacity, the culture and
the perseverance to have acquired a ma
tional reputation.
His death is not simply an irreparable
loss to his family. his friends and his
associates; it is a distinct loss to the en-
tire state. The news of his death will
make sad hearts in the remotest corners
of Wyoming, and universal grief will pay
tribute to his memory.
Peace to his ashes.
