vested his money and all that resulted
from the sale of his farming imple-
ments and household goods in quar-.
ter-section of land in western Nebras-
ka, giving, as everybody did, mort
gage ON the farm for the balance
which he was unable to pay down.
Both he and his wife had great an
tipathy to giving a mortgage, but
there was no other way; aud then it
was not so large but that in three
years they could pay it off-perhaps in
two, if they should have extra good
crops. At all events, they would be as
economical in every way as possible
and pay it off at the earliest practic-
able day.
There was small house on their
place when they went there, new, and
built purposely for the buyer; two
rooms and kitchen, with a loft in
which person could sleep, though
under the middle Of the roof only
could one stand upright But they re-
garded it as only temporary affair,
submitting cheerfully to their cramped
quarters, but never losing sight of the
plan to build themselves home as
soon as there was money enough to
pay off the hateful mortgage.
By the third year their clothing, not
too abundant when they came. began
to need replenishing in every direction.
Some things had to be bought for
Harry and John, now thirteen and ten
years old, and growing, as their mother
used to say, ''in genuine western fash
ion." But the family were careful in
their OUTLAWS, and this summers crop
would give them at least the satisfac-
ton of an unencumbered homestead.
As early in the spring as possible he
set to work to get the ground in readi-
ness and pat in the seed. He had
learned by this time how to do things
on large scale. He as well as his
neighbors had an unusual amount of
ground planted in corn; for it had
been too dry in the early spring for oats,
SO that the ground intended for that
crop was taken for corn. Day after day
they had gone back and forth through
the long field until hundred acres
were planted.
Hardly was the work finished when
a gentle rain fell; and though it lasted
but an hour it furnis he'd the requisite

PETRIFlED INDIAN QUEEN.


a Trader Tries to Steal Her for Exhlbi-
ton Purposes.
A curious tale is told by passengers
just arrived at Victoria, Is. c.. from
Alaska on the steamer City of Topeka
OF the discovery made by one of their
number, Seattle man named Bren.
nan, on Prince of Wales island.
Brennan went north some time ago
with small sloop laden with mis-
cellaneous cargo, on which he rea-
lized good profit, trading among the
natives Of the northern coast. 1t was
on this exhibition he CHANGED to visit
one of the least accessible villages of
the isolated tribes on Prince Of Wales
island, and while there to see the mys-
FERROUS divinity that is supposed to
keep watch and ward over the tribe, a
former priestess or queen, who by some
rare action of the peculiar soil in
which her bun ial place was made, was
not turned into dust, but into solid
stone
Years later the rude grave was I'M
covered by chance, and the petrifed
body was found. The natives hailed
it as an omen of good, and carefully
exhuming it enthroned it in place of
honor in the village. the idol so res
cued being ever since more honored
than the oldest totem.
Brennan claims to be the first white
man to see the statue, but so far from
feeling awe or being moved to adora-
ton, he at once realized that if it
could be safely transported to the
United States it would be worth
mint of money for exhi bition purposes.
The petritied woman, according to his
account, stands as though frozen into
granite while in the act of directing
some important movement of her sub
jects. The features as well as the limbs
are clearly defined, as though life was
still in the body, and the whole aspect
OF the strangely preserved body is al
most regal. although the goddess was
mistress only of savage tribe.
So much did the commercial value of
the image impress the shrewd trader
that few words incautiously dropped
partially revealed his mind to the
tribe. with the result that he was
obliged to take to his sloop and sail
out into thickening storm in order to
save his life. He has now sold his
sloop, and with the proceeds of the
sale, added to the profits of his cruise,
he proposes to purchase fast steam
launch with which to return and bodi-
ly abduct the uncanny diety. Accord
ing to present arrangements he will
buy his launch on Puget sound and re-
turn as quickly as possible to Prince
of Wales island, waiting opportunity
to land, seize the idol, and escape be-
fore the natives can discover his pres
ence and Illustrate his plan. The
'stone queen" has, according to the
tales of the tribe, watched silently |
over their declining fortunes for up
ward of four centuries. Francisco |
