the fourteen 1upHs u0iEly packed
away their books. and school was
out for the dav.
But rlat part Of the day which
Mabel dreaded most was yet TO
c8m-.le walk to Mr.. Gilmore g.
q mile away. She dreaded it
because the road vas lonely, and
there was no one to 90 with her
save the little Gilmore girl a baby
T. Of i've years. whose praTtie only
made it the more difficult for
Mabel to listen for ramps.
Therefore. she sent the child
home before four o'clock, in
order mat she might move silent
" and swiftly over that long
stretch Of GRASS grown road be-
tween the house and Gil
mores farm.
She had postponed boarding
there until the asrweek OF school.
and although she had tTaversed
the distance for four days With
out a dreaded encounter with
ramps. she started forth, satchel
and umbrella in hand, with as
great fear as ever in her mind.
The road leading to GiImores
vas seldom used, as a new road
furthur up the nil drew to itself
all travel, leaving the grass to
flourish, and the bushes to grow
down to the very wheel track, On
the lower road.
The branches met overhead N

beauty did not appeal to Mabel,

squirrel, or a partridge arose
from the ground with a loud

scarcely see a rod through the
dense under-hrush into the
smoking swamp on one side, or
into the forest on the other. while
the road was so ourving that it
was visible only a short distance
ahead.
Oh, if she could only hear a
wagonl But it was seldom a
wagon could be seen on this
road. Her nervousness increased
with every step. A cat-bird be-
hind her gave a shrill call
Mabel turned her head with d

AN UNEXPECTED KIND
NESS.

It vas a hazy, lazy forenoon IN
August. The orickets sang
loudly in the bushes back of the
school house, and the grasshop-
pers swarmed over the dried,
yellow meadows across the road.
The quite country wore a sleepy,
dreamy look which affected the
fourteen children sitting at their
desks, ranged along the walls,
and facing the broad aisle through
the centre of the schOOI-rOnm.
Even the teacher, Mabel OsJrand-
sr, felt listless and depressed.
as she sat on her tiny platform at
one end Of the aisle. her elbow
resting on a riGkety table beside
her, and her hand supporting her
aead.
A steady south wind was blow
ing the smoke up from the swamp
below, where piles Of 5tumps
we're burning. The room was
filed by the odor Of the burning
wood. The children were too
sleepy to make their accustomed
amount Of noise. Even the
leader in mischief, Hiram Bentley
had laid his head on the desk
before him ana was quite. Mabel
was sure ne was asleep, but
refrained from awakening him,
knowing that he would immed-
lately fall 70 chewing up wads
of paper with which TO pelt the
other children, as soon as her
back was turned.
The fourth arithmetic class sat
on the hard, STRAIGHTFORWARD
reGitatiOn- bench before their
teacher, their small bare feet
dangling in the air, the bench
being much too high for the
accommodation of the fourth
class in arithmetic. There were
only three of them, and their
combined ages did not equal
that of their young teacher,
One small girl with short hair
and a dirty apron stood at the
foot of the bench, trying to tit
her slate pencil into a nail hole,
while she droned forth the null
lpllcaton table.
Gree times one is free. free
times two is nine, she Lisped.
Before Mable could correct the
small mathematician, th here
sounded a loud rap, bang, rattle !
at the door. Mable sprang to
her feet with rapidly-beating
heart. Trampsl They were the
terror of her life in that school
house.
The children did not seem to
mind at all the frequent visitat-
ions of these wayfarers, but to
Mable, their calls at the door for
water or for directions to the
nearest town were IN untailing
source OF fright. She glazed
instinctiveIy at Brent Hibbard.
Not that he had ever evinced any
disposition to protect the school,
house, but he was her largest
pupil, a thick, solid, red-haIred
boy Of fourteen. Mabel felt that
his size would be some protection
in case of need. Brent leaned
back in his seat now and peered
INTO the little entry way

James A. Ellis. Of Fossil, Falls Into a
Swollen Stream.

At Fossil, Wyo., Saturday afternoon
about $3.50, James A. Ellis, q resident
and an old pioneer of that place, met
with death very suddenly by falling from
the railroad bridge into a swollen
stream which runs through the town.
Mr.. Ellis was on his way home from the
restaurant, where he had taken supper,
and, as he vas crossing the bridge, he
turned to speak to Mr.. L~ittlefield, an
old companion who was following him,
and in doing no stumbled and fell from
the bridge. He was apparently knocked
%senseless, as he made no effort whatever
to get out Of the stream.
He was carried in the angry waters for
about 100 yards, where he lodged under
some piling. The citizens were coon
upon the scene, but before the body could
be recovered life had departed. Mr.. Ellis
leaves a wife and three children. His
wife and two daughters are living in
WATERFOWL, Mass, and one son IL work
ing in Boise. The coroner at Evanston,
Wyo., was notified and Is on the way to
Fossil to hold an inquest. Charles H.
Priest Of Evanston. Wyo., q brother-in-
law, will take charge OF the remains.

Shortly before Father Healey's death
he met Mr.. Gladstone at a dinner in
London. The eX-premier insisted upon
bringing up theological points Of differ
ence. At last he said: "Mr. Healey, l
have recently come from Rome, where
l saw the offer Of a plenary indulgence
for SO francs. Now what authority has
your church to forgive my sins for so
francs?" THAT is too large a subject
for us TO take up with the dessert" the
1rishman replied, gently; but" his
eyes twinkling, 81 think that any church
which will forgive your Sins, Mr.. Glad
stone, for so francs, is letting you of
very cheaply."

UP H LARAMIE.

The Gleneyre correspondent Of the
Fort Collins Express says: Talk about
snow. there Is too much for comfort. 1t
began showing mor than q week ago
and has come down at intervals every
day since. 1t drifted considerably at the
beginning Of the storm and came nearly
covering the residence belonging to Geo.
LASER. Mr.. LASER was compelled to
place several extra lengths Of pipe on
top Of his house in order to have an out
let for the smoke. The storm was a little
less furious at the Sherwood ranch. He
u a 200 foot tunnel from his house and
struck a vein Of barns and milk cows.
Down at Smiths ranch no shoveling was
done. Jim was tall enough to wade out.
Nothing has yet been heard from the
Stuart ranch. but it seems to be the gen
eral opinion that Alex. has all their stock
in the house. where he can give them ex-
ira attention. Mail Carrier Harrington
has his horse running on snow shoes.
Over at Gleneyre several men are kept
busy wheeling sun on the lawn tennis
grounds. 1t was a terrible storm.
But. let storm be great and none repine.
For after it the sun will shine.

SLATER.
The Cheyenne Tribune Gives Him q
Drastic DUSe.

This mornings Cheyenne Tribune
comments as follows upon Slater, the
~spiritualist:
The Tribune was greatly amused at
the account given to the Boomerang by
Slater's advance agent in Cheyenne last
week. Ridiculous credulity does not
thrive in the atmosphere Of Cheyenne
and Slater appears to have been cha
grinned because he could not come to
this city and carry away $500 Of u
peoples money, az he bOasted OF doing
when he shook the dust Of the Gem City
of his feet. When he reached the capi-
tai he discovered that all such shows
were required by law to pay q license
and although trumped up indignation
and protest were promptly expressed and
filed, the city marshal stood by the law
and Slater concluded to vanish to %
profitable fields. The Tribune hopes
that the information left in Laramie
concerning the Wurl murder will prove
OF great value and regrets that Slater
who before leaving the city. declared
himself a minister of the gospel, had
not enough interest in the maintenance
Of law and the administration OF justice
to gently whisper into the a OF come
friend the names OF the Horse creek
murderers. The gang over there
might not have relished such q disin-
terested display Of unsworn testimony,
but II the same were substantiated by
corroborative evidence, much benefit
would result, a benefit which ministers
Of the gospel do not usually refuse"
