Yesterday Mr. George Langsdale,
West side man, who owns proper

Mr., Kelley, the chief of the build
ing department of the Cotton Belt
railroad, a proposition to give the
road 40 acres of ground and the
,right-ef-way through a mile strip of
ground, which lies between their
track and the 40 acres offered, if
they would put their improvements
contemplated on this 40 acres.
There are other parties over here
that would be liberal donators to a
scheme of this sort and the Cotton
Belt road would do well to stop and
think before they select a cite as
such a liberal offer is not made
every day, Mr., Langsdale said he
had subscribed for the other fund
but he was disgusted at the way
the people were acting, and he now
proposed to make the above offer
himself. Mr. Kelley told him he
could not act until he saw his SUI
periors but gave Mr. Langsdae to
understand that his offer was a
most liberal one and the company
would certainly appreciate the same
if they did not accept it. This is
no cross or skull bones to scare our
West side people up, but gospel

ready to sign the deeds the minute

TORNADO SEASON,

greatest number occur in the coun-

country north of the Ohio and Mis-
souri, rivers including Ohio and west

tornadoes occur in this district near
the Rockies, The Allegheny noun

"HE THAT SLABS IN THE DARK"

Frayne's reservation was big and gener-
Gus, but, unluckily it never extended
across the river. Squatters, smugglers and
sharpers could not intrude upon its guard
ed limits along the southern shore, and
the nearest groggery-that inevitable &C
compartment of the westward march of
civilization-was a long two miles away,
down the right bank, but only pistol shot
across the stream.
In his day Farrar had waged war against
the rumsellers on the north shore and won,
because then there were only soldiers and
settlers, and no lawyers = outside the
guardhouse-within ninety miles of the
post. But with the tide of civilization
came more settlers and cattle town and
lawyers in abundance, and with their COM

mouse-colored as to his eyes, was able to

Mrs. Farrar, a penitent indeed, and never
went near the hop, but had Will in ecstasy
and a dark corner of the parlor for long,
long hour, and cried and cooed over and
comforted him and surrendered at discre-
ton. viii Farrar was practically an en-
gagged man when he was graduated in June
and only 81.
All that winter Ellis had continued her
course at school, but was to come out in
May, and during the long months of Sep

her mother found in the companion that
had been chosen for her, a gentle, refined
and evidently we'll bred woman, who came
upon the Recommendation of their rector.
and who was introduced as Mrs. Daunton
Helen Daunton, a woman with sad his

them, but through no fault or foible of her
own. She had been married, but her hus-
band was unworthy of her, had deserted
her some years before, leaving her to
struggle for herself DR.. Morgan vouched
the time Ellis was to return to her mothers
roof Helen Daunton was so thoroughly
established there, so necessary to her
mother so devoted to her in every way
that for the first time in her life, even
while glad to mark the steps of improve
ment in the beloved invalid's health and
appearance, Ellis Farrar felt the pangs of
jealousy.
And this was Wills graduation summer,
and they had a lovely time at the seashore.
Kitty was there, and Kitty was an accept
ed fact and more so now. Will would be
content nowhere without her, and would
have married her then and there but for
his mothers gentle admonition, and
Kitty's positive refusal She had been
reared from girlhood by doting aunt, had
been petted and spoiled at home and at
school, and yet had not a little fund of
shrewd good sense in her bewilderingly
pretty head. She wouldn't wear an en-
gagement ring, wouldn't consent to call it

an engagement She owned, under pres
sure, that she meant to marry Will some
day, but not in any hurry, and, therefore,
put for one thing, the mothers gentle
heart would have been content.
And that one thing was that Will had
applied for and would hear of no other
regiment in all the army than that at the
head OF which his father had died-the
Twelfth Cavalry, and no one could under
stand, and Mrs. Farrar couldn't explain,
how 1T waS-why it was that that of all
others was the one she had vainlv hoped
he would not choose. He was wild with
Joy and enthusiasm when at last the order
came, and with beaming eyes and ringing
voice he read aloud: "'Twelfth Regiment

But Mrs. Farrar could not tell. 1t was
years, too, since she had seen him, ''but he
was always faithful friend of your father,
Will, and he wrote me beautiful, beauti-
full letter when he came away"
And so, late In September, the boy lieu
tenant left his mothers arms and, followed
by her prayers and tears and blessings,
was borne away westward to revisit scenes
that were once familiar as the old barrack
walls at West Point. Then it required
long days of travel over rough mountain
roads to reach the railway far south of the
Medicine Bow. Now the swift express
train landed him at the station of the from
tier town that had grown up on the site of
the prairie dog village he and his pony had
often stampeded in the old days. Here at
the station, come to meet and welcome the
son of their old commander, ignoring the
fact that the newcomer was but the plebe

ing not little on his stalwart build and
trying hard not to refer to the very downy
mustache that adorned his boyish lip
And other and younger officers were there
to welcome the lad to his new station, and
huge was Wills comfort when he caught
sight of Sergeant Stein, the veteran stand
ard-bearer of the regiment, and that SUI
perbly punctilious old soldier Strengthened
up like a Norway pine and saluted him
with rigid precision and hoped the lieuten-
