Late in the spring Marian and Wei

the family had Gained down and con-
Guided that the young Germn was
rather nice fellow after ALL al
though, perhaps, not exactly the man
they would have chosen for Marian.
He was not welcomed into the family
as Jerome would have been, but both
he and Marian seemed fairly well
satisfied with his reception.
After the wedding Jerome decided
to 60 abroad. 1t was rather humili-
ating position for him, as every one
knew of his attentions to Marian, but
he did not seem to consider it so, and
never referred to the subject, even In
the remotest manner. His going away
was by no means an idea to escape
observation. 1t was merely taken up
as something to absorb his time and
attention. He had been to Europe
half a dozen times, and wanted some
thing new and exciting, SO he decided
on central Asia. If he had been the
hero Of a novel the author would have
killed him off in conflict with the ma
tives, but being a man In real life,
and especially Jerome, he came back
without a scratch, but with con-
foundedly blase air."

fortunate part, it didn't; but that has
nothing to do with Jerome"

to show us our need of God.
Few men profit by the mistakes OF

The unexpected happens SO often that
some people never expect anything else.
The prayer that opens a window in
heaven can only be offered when God
is worshiped.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.
I'm 1853 thcFirst Express Was Run
Across the Plains.

Across the Plains.
THE first express run across the
Butterfeld in 1885," said Alexander
Benham of Montana, the manager of
the first overland express. "It started
at Little Rock, Ark, and followed a
southern route through Kansas, New
Mexico, Arizona. and then to Los An
geles, CAL About two years later, in
1860, our company was formed for
the purpose of carrying the mails to
the Pacific coast. 1t was known as
the Central Overland and Pixies Peak
Express company. William H. Rus
sell, Alexander Majors and a man
name1 Wadell formed the company,
and the contracts with the government
for carrying mails We're made out in
their names. ! was chosen manager,
and had my officer in Denver.
THE southern route run by Butter
field did not have as much promi-
nence as ours, which for years was
known as the pony express route. 1t
started in at st. Joseph, Mo-, mining
through Nebraska to Fort Kearney, to
Fort Laramie, Wyo., thence to Dem
yer, to Salt Lake City, to Placerville,
Nevada, and to Sacramento, Cal. The
whole trip, extending half across the
continent, was made in seventeen
days, when no accident befell, and ac-
cidentS were not SO numerous as some
people have imagined. From st. JOS
eph to Denver the trip took seven days
and from Denver to Sacramento was a
Journey of ten days. That was, of
course. by the regular stage route,
and little time was lost in making 1t.
''To accommodate our business we
had about $50 coaches, most of which
We're kept running all the time. To
haul them we had 1500 horses scatter
ed along the route from st. Joseph to
Sacramento. In addition we had 5000
or 1000 head of cattle, which were
used in hauling heavy freight and
transporting feed for the horses and
provisions for our men. You can see
that the business was not by any
means small one, and 1t continued to
grow as long as there was any use
for transportation. This was until the
completion of the Union Pacific Rail
way to California in 1870. Then over
land traffic and mail service could be
managed to better purpose by the rail-
road. and our pony express went out
of existence. But up to that time
from the day that the route was first
opened in 1860 it's business had stead
lily increased. Even the building of
the railroad assisted us, for our line
was the best adapted for carrying to
western station employees and proyis-
ions.'--C Chicago Journal.

A Psrilous Adventure

It might have been for that party sent
out by the Northern Pacific Railroad IN
the summer of 1894 to climb Mount
Rainier. A climb up Mount Washing
ton only 5000 feet above the sea. or up
Pixies Peak on railroad, is not much
of an undertaking compared with
bing on foot with provisions and
bedding on ones back, over ice and
snow for nearly three miles, vertically
Roped together SO that if one man falls
the other may holH him, one slip at
places might bring death to all OF them
But Judging from the published account
of this successful achievement the party
were well repaid when they finally
stood upon the icy dome of this grand
mountain, with the clouds more than
a mile below them.
1t was tremendous struggle to reach
that point, but the view of Natures
wild magnificence" from a height OF be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000 feet above the
sea, seems to have well repaid the five
men who got there" One night was
passed on the rocks and in an ice cave,
at an elevation of more than ll,000
feet above sea level.

But 1t tells which way to look for the

So broad we see not the brightness
