with an oar, but the pike ducked in
scientific style and made another rush.
After this had kept up until Welsh
was also ready to lie down and rest,
the fish began to show white and the
fisherman knew there would be a
chance to land him very soon. At
last the big fish foated white side up,
but his big, round eyes were as scary
as ever and there was another rush or
two in him even then. Getting him
close to the boat Lockwood took a
chance on the line and with one tre-
mendous lift pulled the pike into the

train pulled out. Two or three miles
up. the track the conductor came in
from the baggage car and commenced
punching tickets. Getting down to

eyes, quietly married yesterday +;
home to-day. Hardly any one knows
it,"
Tom blushed some more-said but
very little, on account of the news
striking him so unexpectedly. Mr..
Beeeher pulled a fragrant Havana
out of his pocket, and handed it over
to the conductor in order to make the
case stronger one. The young lady
smiled benignly as if in confirmation
of Mr.. Beecher's statement and con-
tinued the role. Tom finished his
ticket punching, walked out into the
baggage car, and going up to Ex-
pressman Peabody, said:
"Peabody, do you know Beecher is
married; yes, he's got his wife in here
with him; gave me good cigar; say,
she's a peach"
There was general rush for the
passenger coach to get a squint at the
couple. The latter stood the cross
firing of g ances with remarkable &C
curacy of nerve, and when the train
pulled into the Redwood depot Tom
was the first to call out to Operator
Gus Thiering:
"Say, Gus, do you know Beecher is
married; has got his wife here on the
train"
"Sure, | do. He sent me tele-
gram; said they'd be here this after
noon; folks are here to meet them"
Half an hour later Tom learned
that he was mistaken; that Mr..
Beecher was not a Benedict. 1t cost
the conductor several bits before he
heard the last of his remarks to

ONE ON MR. HUGHES.
How Agent BeeCher Took a Fall
Out of the Conductor.

Conductor Tom Hughes is the prac-
teal joker of the Northwestern stub
line. He is continually scheming to
do some turn on a friend or an &C.
quaintance. A particular person on
whom Tom enjoys playing a joke is
Agent H. L. Reecher, who is very
easily embarrassed, and this embar
rassment only tends to make the joke
all the more interesting. Mr.. Beecher
is also an innocent appearing young
man, with a great deal of timidity, al
though right to the front when it
comes to securing business or taking
care Of business. Tom always "lays"
for him, to use the vernacular.
But once in while the tables are
turned and Tom is made the target
for the joke. Such a thing happened
last Wednesday. Agent Beecher
spent Sunday and Monday visiting
with his brother James at the State
University and friends in Minneapolis.
On his return home he was accom-
panied by charming young lady, re-
siding in the Mill City. She is an at
tractive creature, striking brunette,
with just enough dash in her manners
to take the role of new bride in the
latest society comedy.
On arriving in Sleepy Eye Mr.,
Beecher and the young lady in ques-
ton quietly transferred to the Red
wood coach. They occupied single
