/ The town of Mayfair was In a state Of
great excitement. The Grand Army was
to hold big fair, and the Governor was
to be present. He was actually coming,
despite his former refusal.
A big otticial-looking document had
come to the chairman Of the committee,
| saying that on further consideration, the
Governor had decided to give himself the
pleasure of opening the fair, and further
more, he should bring two members of
his staff With him.
Sadie had heard of it with great j,y :;
but it was no news to her, for she had
received a note from her casual friend at
the State House; ard this she treasured,
and slept with it under her pillow every
night
AT last the night of the fair came, and
the hall was crowded so there was scarce
space left for the entrance of the Gov
ernor and his escort when he should come.
Saddles father was one of them. They
had gone to the station to meet him.
There was a thrill of expectancy sl
through the crowd, and eyes were kept
anxiously on the door.
Sadie edged to the center of the hall,
and clasped and unclasped her bands
nervously. Her cheeks were flushed and
her eyes shone.
The people about the door were crowd
ing back. Two men in uniform, with
gold lace appeared in the doorway. The
Governor would come next.
A burst of music from the band. The
people were moving excitedly. But
where was the Governor? She looked in
vain for more gold lace. Perhaps he
would wear purple robe such as kings
wore.
Why, there was the man she had talked
to at the State House. She gave happy
laugh. How nice! He had come too.
She started forward to meet him, and
he turned toward the eager child,
bright smile illuminating his handsome
face. But the crowd held her back.
"Wait till the Governor has passed."
some one said.
1.-THE GoYernor!'' She drew a quick
breath. Could he be the Governor? Why,
she had talked to him the same as if he
were any common man. What must he
think of her? He couldn't be angry,
surely, because he had come. Yes, he
really had come, for all the people were
pointing toward him and whispering.
He seemed to be looking toward her.
She shrank back shyly; but his kindly
eyes had caught sight of the little figure,
and he smiled and held out his hand.
So, unconscious of the throng of
amazed onlookers, and seeing only his
kindly face, she slipped from her place
and ran to him; and together up the hall,
through the cheering crowd, they pass
ed-Sadie and the Governor of the State,
hand in hand.

Woodmen Excursion.

The Custer camp OF the Modern
Woodmen Of America have perfected
their plans for an excursion othe Won
derful Wind Cave on Tuesday the 22nd
inst. Special rates for admission to the
cave and for hotel Accommodations which
we're entirely satisfactory to the com
mittee having the matter in charge,
we're granted by Manager Stabler while
here on Wednesday, which will apply
to all members of the party whether
they are members of the Woodmen
order or not. Tickets are now on sale
in the city at the reduced rate, and it is
desired that q large party may be form
ed for this occasion, which promises to
be replete with interest and enjoyable
features.
The selection ofthe Wind Cave as the
objective point for their excursion was
a happy conclusion on the part of the
Woodmen committee, inasmuch as it
involves less expense and offers greater
attractions than other more remote
places contemplated. The excursion
will leave Custer about 7 o'clock in the
morning, and will arrive at their desti-
nation about 1890 o'clock. The time to
be spent in exploring the great ave will
be n matter for consideration later on,
after the party arrives upon the ground,
but it would be comparatively safe to
say that the majority of the party will
rot return to Custer until a late hour on
Thursday night. 1t is a pleasing
thought that our citizens do not have 10
cross the borders of their own county,
to feast their eyes upon the marvellous
subteranean, beauties and superlative
grandeur Of the most wonderful cavern
in the world, and that it admirably fits
the occasion no will have the teme-
rlty to gainsay. That the excursionists
will have a royal good time, and a most
enjoyable outing there can be no ques.
ton Of doubt.
