seemed a little wandering, and con.
fused things strangely.
The next day. late in the afternoon,
1t stopped showing, but no one went
by, and the darkness came on again.
Another long night. Miss Nancy left
lamp burning in the kitchen, and
then went to bed.
Very early in the morning she was
suddenly awakened by shout and
the sound of some one kicking on the
side of the house. She hastily dressed,
and then enteIed the sitting room.
"Hi" some called.
"Who is lt?" she asked.
"It's me-Atwood-down to the
foot of the hill, yer know. Wife was
sick and l had ter 60 fer the doctor.
Be ye showed in?"
"Yes. Will you git some one to dig
us out some time to-day?"
"All right. I'll git Sam, if he'll
come. Be back in an hour or two"
Miss Nancy sat down and waited.
The wood was almost gone, and she
was glad Mr.. Atwood had discovered
their predicament.
aThe clock had just struck six which
she heard shovel strike the house.
"We're here, Nancy-be out in q
shake" said Mr.. Atwood.
"All right" she answered, and went
into the bedroom to tell Abby.
But her sistere was sleeping quietly,
go she tiptoed back again.
After an hours hard shoveling the
door opened, and in the gray light of
the morning she saw Jim Wilmot
standing before her. Mr.. Atwood, af-
ter assuring himself that everything
was safe, went around to the drifts
before the windows, and commenced
work again but Jim did not 60.
"Nancy," he said, 81 was fool
the other day. I'm going ter sell my
farm and come back here. l can't
live without yon. Nancy, will you
marry me?"
"And Abby?" she questioned.
"Abby shall live with us. You
shan'n't be separated"
"But it's so 'humdrum' here, Jim,
and you'll be homesick after the West
again" protested Miss Nancy.
"P'raps SO, a little" he admitted.
"But must heve you, Nancy. Will
you forgit what ! said the other day,
an marry me?"
"You know 1 will, Jim," she said,
in whisper, and he kissed her fondly.
And in the bedroom Miss Abby lay
asleep, a sweet peace upon her wrin-
kled face. She had gone beyond all
shadows into the reality.-Waverly

Fox Tail in the Baby's Throat.

Monday Mrs. Jack Welsh left hes
seven.months-old baby in charge oi
the older children while she was busy.
The children were out doors and while
they were showing a lady something
they placed the baby on the grass. A
moment or two later they saw the Lit.
tie one had q mouthful OF leaves and
took them away. Toward evening
Mrs. Welsh observed that the child
had something in its throat. She
examined it carefully but could moi
find anything.
About midnight they became alarmed
and Mr.. and Mrs. Welsh came to towI
and took the little one to q drug
store. DR.. Wilson was quickly calico
and he examined the throat of ths
baby and tried with his fingers to re
move the obstruction. Finding that
he could not do this he used an instru
ment and brought forth foxtail that
had become stuck in the throat. A,
soon as the baby was relieved it al
once dropped asleep.-Oroville (Cal.

The Bicycle i'm the Army.

Some time ago the manufacturer OF
q we'll known bicycle wrote to Lieu
tenant James A. Moss, U. 8. A., in re-
lation to putting company OF SOL
diers on bicycles. As result ten men
we're equipped at Fort Missoula and
some severe experiments are to be
made. In speaking of the subject to
a Hartford reporter, Lieutenant Moss
said:
During the last four or five years
the bicycle as practical machine for
military purposes has been attracting
the attention of military men both in
this country and abroad. In foreign
armies, however, the matter has been
been brought to a more practical
stage than in this country. AS early
as 1870 the bicycle was used in the
Italian army. In France, Austria,
Switzerland and other European coun-
tries there are now in the armies reg
ularly organized bicycle corps. Re-
Gently there have been numerous ex-
pertinent made in this country, both
by officers of the regular army and by
the National Guard. The interest in
the subject has SO increased that there
is no doubt that in the course of the
next few years every regiment in the
regular army will have its bicycle
corps. General Miles is an enthusiast
on the subject, and in his last report
recommended the organization of
regiment of bicycle infantry. have
just completed the organization of a
bicycle corps of ten men at the post,
which will make extensive experiments
during the summer. The work that
has been laid out includes the rapid
conveying of messages from Fort Mis-
sonia to other posts several hundred
miles distant, the rapid establishment
of signal stations, route sketching,
scouting, road patrolling and recon
noissance, and practice rides over long
distances with blankets, rifles, rationi
and shelter tents.

The Messrs. Horkheimer Brothers, OF
this city, have just made deal with the
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company, by which they secure n big
cotton factory building at Manchester
Conn, on the Rock river. ten rnlles from
Hartford. That this big wool buying
firm has transferred portion of its
operations to Connecticut comes some
what as u surprise here In Wheeling.
The building they have leased Is n
very large one and Is furnished with
unlimited water power, which Is utli-
lied through the medium of turbine
wheels. At this plant the Horkheimers
will establish n sheep skin pulling es-
tabiishment, and prepare the peits Tor
the market, sheep leather being USED
for cheap ladies' shoes, Innings and in
other ways.
At the start thirty men nre to be en-
ployed and probably Mr.. Ben +. Hork-
heimer will remove TO Manchester to
take charge. The capacity will be LOCO
per day, which may be increased later
10 as high us 1000 II desirable. The
wool bought by the firm here will be
sent to the Manchester establishment
for treatment. and In addition there
Will be capacity for peItS from otner
markets. one reason for the location
OF this branch OF the firms business is
that most OF their product goes to the
east.
It Is learned from a reliable source
that Wheeling will soon have an addi-
tlon to the several factories that are en-
gagged in the manufacture OF catsups,
spices and mustards. Three young
men who have been connected with the
Hunter spice works on South Main
street, will in a few days withdraw
from That concern and prepare TO start
IN the business for themselves. They
are Mr.. Charles Watkins, jr.. who has
been In the office; William Exley, IT.,
who has been the foreman, and Mr..
VIII McGavin, OF the mustard depart~
ment They will start up In the near
future and are now said to be figuring
on taking the old building formerly oc-
cupied BY the Home Conserve Compa-
ny, on the South Side, adjacent to the
Whitaker iron works on the creek bank.
They ure all hustllng men In their line
and will no doubt make success OF
