II will accuse her before the magistrate.
and when the governor returns home
will narrate this thing she has done"
"There is no evil, am sure; but there is
some mystery. Tell me, master, what does
it mean when any person says, Il wish you
merry Christmas?' She said heavenly
minded man had told her that"
ooh, she said that! What heavenly
minded man? She is deceiving you, Sam
uel, and we will know the truth of it. Pay
no heed to her words"
Then Abner went away, and with mighty
strides crossed the common, and having
entered the house of Governor Leete de-
manded that Dorothy be summoned.
At this moment there entered the room
q sweet faced maid leading n child with
whom she was making merry, but when,
looking up, she met the awful glance with
which Deacon Abner received her she fall
tered and stood waiting to hear him speak.

ellie not to me-" said he, "for it will be
even worse for YOU"
81 speak the truth always or speak not
at ALL" she said gently.
"Then you will not deny that you were
at the store this morning"
"No; 1 will not deny that"
"What had you under your cloak."
81 cannot say"
"You will say. Why were You there?"
81 cannot tell"
"You said these words to Samuel Il wish
you u merry Christmas
ayes. said those words"
"Wcll, who babe you merry Christmas
this day."
81 cannot tell YOU"
"Did YOU not tell Samuel it was heaven
ly manY
"Aye. That is the truth. did not mean
to say so much, but lie not"
"Who" This word was uttered in thun-
der tone.
'T must not say" Sho spoke gently, but
her tones were firm, and when he saw that
she would not reply he went away, and at
noon the magistrate had come.
They came for Dorothy, and led her to
the building whence she came so cautious
ly in the morning. Here was the office as
well as the store Of Governor Leete, and
here the magistrate held court. There were
two or three who had been convicted of
offenses, and among these condemned Alb
ner placed the sweet faced maid.
The magistrate listened to the accusations
that Abner made, that she was deceitful
and had spoken lies, and when that was
finished the magistrate said to her: "You
have heard these accusations. Do you deny
them?"
"In that have said or done evil know
ingly do; otherwise it has been as he has
said"
had said to you, Il wish you "a merry
Christmas"
''I said that. 1t is true; and he said, Re
joice, for if we rejoice in the death of
Christ for us we may rejoice in his birth.'"
But she refused to tell who this man was
or why she had slyly gone to the store that
morning. The magistrate therefore, look
ing sternly at her, said:
''There is no doubt about it. You are
guilty of n lie and deceit. You will be
taken hence, and you will fiLst receive ten
lashes, and after that will be PIT into the
pillory for one hour, that youf punishment
may warn others and convince Yourself"
The girl seemed not to hear these words.
She put out her hand as il for support, and
when some one grasped it she seemed not
to know it. II was Samuel who had taken
her hand, and he stood by her side. His
face was white. He had como into the
room in time to hear the sentence.
'Iet me take her place. IL punishment
Is needed will bare my back to the lash,
and sit in the stocks for her." he said.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1890-12-26

sixty yards away from the store, and there
the young man, Samuel, met her. He had
seen her as she came from the store, and
although her head was we'll hooded, yet
the young man knew her as well as if he
saw her eyes, that always greeted him, and
her lips, that always bestowed upon him a
smile. He turned the oxen, and with much
goading forced them to break path from
the governors house, where the girl lived,
to the place where Ii, met her. Then he
said to her:
"Why, Master Samuel!"
"Why? You know well why You
know what is to happen the day l am my
master, and so sweet do you appear this
morning, my Dorothy, that l wish it was
today, for have your promise to wed me
on that day. Now tell me, how is it that
you are out so early, and what is under
your cloak?"
81 will answer neither of your questions,
Master Samuel. Are you not content to
have me here? Come, put me on the
sledge, for must be back to Mr.. Leete's
at once"
The young man put his strong arms
gently about her and lifted her to the
sledge, where she stamped the snow from
her feet, and then, with an arm thrown
around stake, she held securely on, while
Samuel started the oxen away. Then he
came and walked by her side.
"Why did you peek so curiously from
the door n moment agoW he asked.
She knew that he was half testing, half
curious. She would not answer him, but
she said: ooh, Samuel, you made me for
get my purpose. | wish you n merry
Christmas, SIR"
In ,,t hnr er
what she meant, for he had never heard
these words before, and he knew that no
one in the town had ever repeated them.
"What do you mean by that? What
thing is this you wish me-a merry Christ
mas? What is that"
'It is Christmas day, Samuel" said she
softly.
81 do not comprehend. 1t is Wednes-
day."
and in the countries across the sea it is the
habit of the people to bring it to mind by
saying as they meet, Il wish you n merry
Christmas
Dorothy, you perplcx me- Who told
you this?"
"Ahl n heavenly minded man did tell
me-oh, what have 1 said! Pay no heed to
my chattering, Samuel"
She put her hand plcadingly upon his.
He perceived that she was very thought
full, and there was self reproach in her
tones as she said, 81 cannot tell you now;
will some day, Samuel"
He made no answer, for he was per-
picked. They had now come abreast the
gate of the governors house. He lifted
her from the sledge and let her gently down
upon the door step.
An hour after Samuel returned to his
home, having broken his share of paths.
He put on his leather apron, rolled his
sleeve over his mighty arm and blew fire
at the forge, and moment later the music
of the anvil revealed his energy.

]. III. LEHMAN, who lives on
Salem prairie, had a well bored
forty-five feet deep last December.
About twenty-eight feet deep lies a
gravel bed. In Arranging the til
ing break was made in the tiling
aud the well was abandoned. Be
fore this flood there was a buzzing
sound TO be heard, and sharp
whistling, whizzlng noise Is heard
in addition to that buzzing since the
late flood. The gas, or whatever Is
escaping causes the water to bubble
up some. No one can explain the
mysterious sound. If any reader OF
the JOURNAL can tell VIII At it is, LET
us know. Some thought 1t was
natural gas, but it is not strong
enough to burn as Mr.. Lehman
has tried 1t. Perhaps it is vein OF
natural gas, and would burn If
opened up.

ANOTHER LETTER ABOUT THE
WONDERFUL WEST.

Editorial correspondence OF the McGregor
Iowa, News;
When I made a trip over the
North Pacific In September, In the
midst Of perfect Indian Summer,
did not think i would make the
same tour so aoon again, and In the
middle Of winter My letters pleas
ed some readers of The News who
are interested Ia the great north
west and / ain tempted To conclude
tina; series, and give them another
on the looks Of the country In winter
time.
THE NORTH PACIFIC.
When out before | had an excel
lent opportunity of studying the
train service on this great trans-con-
tInental route, and after having
travelled IN many parts of the coun-
try, am prepared to recommend II
highly for efficiency.
The track Is superior one. 1t is
very straight, level and smooth, be-
ing heavily balasted in large part,
and built with greatest security and
care. 1t follows river valleys of
great extent and has chosen the saf-
est aud easiest mountain passes.
The tunnels are all TT an altitude
where wafer does not run through
them, and dangerous places are full
~ protected by snow-sheds. The
bridges aud treaties are built almost
regardless OF expense and no great
accidents have ever occurred. In
deed what reader can recall any of
that frequency OF accidents on the
North Pacific that Is chronicled In
the daily press on some other great
lines. A shorter route, only about
1900 miles from st. Paul To Portland,
shorter time is made without M
crease OF speed
The scenery Is so varied aud there
are three different mountain chains
crossed that the whole Journey is y
continual feast To the eyes and a
surprise TO the mind. Through
North Dakota after leaving Bis
mark, that peculiar Had Land
region Is penetrated, reaching into
Montana, AT Livingstone We skirt
the north boundary OF the Yellow.

JUST ONE LITTLE FLOWER.

A lady living on Sixth street. who has
a window full of flowers in bloom, an
swered ring at her door bell the other
day, to find a little girl shivering on the
doorstep
Please ma'am," said the waif, lifting
her sad, beautiful eyes to the face above
her. will you give me fowerP"
The reques was such an unusual one
that the lady hesitated in surprise.
Just one little flower pleaded the
child, looking as IL she were about to
cry;
why, of course you shall have a
flower. child; come in; you shall have
pretty red rose" and the good woman
looked for her scissors and stepped to
the window where the flowers grew
before she had cut one light touch fell
on her arm,
Not that one, Please-not red one.
Oh, won't it be just boofulP' and the
little CIR pointed to canddium unfold
ing its lily petals.
"ThatW the mistress of the house
shook her head. II cannot cut that
one. child. Why must you have white
one? Why won't any flower do?"
"Oh, neutrality-suspicious.. it's
for ponr mamma" and the child burst
into fit of weeping Mamma is dead
and | ruined away to get her some
flowers"
The next moment she was sobbiDg on
the bosom of a friend, and when she
went away, she was comforted and she
carried the precious lily with otf er
flowers to the home where death had
been.-DetfOit Free Press.
