Somehow this speech restored me to my
balance.
He smoked another cigarette and then took
up ms hat, and 1 breathed a sigh of relief.
It's devil of mess for a fellow to be in,'
Yes, s' said l. I'm afraid you'll have to
find a wife who can work on her own ac-
count. There are good many of them about
nowadays
He looked at me doubtfuly. 20, I hate
hat sort! he said. "A girl with moneys bet
ter, but that won't help me just now
so supposed said l. and let him out. I
had sworn at his entrance, but he had
brought me luck
L sat down again; there was something: urg
ing me on-there was a goal in sight that 1
knew of.
And when I had put my name to the last
sheet and was free I sought it.
Upstairs in the nursery my wife sat be-
side the cradle; she had our child in her arms,
and was lulling him to sleep. Her eyes shone
as she looked UP at me- her face was fresh,
and she was as dainty as any man could
wish in plain white frock-ready to wei
come me to dinner after my work.
AS L bent down to kiss her 1 said gay1y:
I've made up a splendid week, darling; so
you needn't worry about the purchases
And she laughed, saying:
There weren't so many after ALL you
know. Only few dollars worth. But
shouldn't have interrupted you while you
were making them!"
And then we went together to the dainty
meal of her frugal ordering and 1 was sorry
that had not been able to explain to Percy
what it that made it good enough -

Loves Translator.

When the white moon divides the mist,
My longing eyes believe
'Tis the white arm my lips have kissed.
Flashing from thy sleeve.
And when the tall, white lily sways,
Upon her queenly stalk;
Thy white form fills my dreamy gaze.
Down the garden walk
When. rich with rose, a wandering air
Breathes up the leafy place,
1t seems to me thy perfumed hair
Blown across my face
And when the thrush's golden note
Across the gloom is heard
L think It's thy impassioned throat
Uttering one sweet word
And when the scarlet pooy bud
Breaks, breathing of the South
A sudden warmth awakes my blood
Thinking of they mouth
+ And when the doves wing dips in fight
.-Above the dreaming land,
: see some dear, remembered, white
Gesture Of they hand.
Wonder and love upon me wait.
In service fair, when
Into they sweetness thus translate
Earth and air and sky.

STARTLING PHENOMENON.
Washburn Leader: Nels G. Erick

Washburn Leader: Nels G. Erick-
son, one Of the most trustworthy
farmers in the county, was up at the
county seat Friday and tells a start
ling item of wonder, following as it
does so much of the phenominally
strange that has appeared here this
summer-and equally strange the ap-
partition of air of which we speak,
came rs had the Others-on Friday
evening. It was on Friday evening,
June 80, that the cyclone tore to pieces
the Fort Stevenson barn-the largest
in the county-and raised cain gener-
ally. It was at midnight Friday, July
p, that the great black cloud swept
over the east end of the county sweep
ing away the Dan Williams barn
the second largest in this section.
On Painted Woods creek, above the
mouth of the Yanktoney branch there
is a peculiar-never freezing spring,
called by the old frontier class here
the Geysers. Near this point Mr..
GransOm located a farm and has re-
sided there for several years, caring
for a bunch of cattle and sheep. Mi.
Granstrom has a son about twelve
years Of age, called Edwin, who does
the herding. Last Friday evening,
about 6 o'clock, he was out with his
herd, when happening to look toward
the sun, he saw three great warships
suspended in midair, and became ter
rifed, ran for his home. AS soon as
he reached the door he cried out:
"MOther-Mother, see the great
ships"
When Mrs. Granstrom went to the
door, sure enough up in the sky where
the boy was pointing-three mighty
steamships could be seen blowing a
calm sea but with rough waves in the
wake Of the steamers. Heavy ropes
reached from one to the other. The
huge cyndrical smoke stacks on each
steamer were putting up black col
umns of smoke. Men could be seen
plainly about the rigging, and small
boats were being lowered, and loaded
camels were being hoisted as though
being boarded. Everything in con
nection with the scene appeared re-
markably distinct and was in full view
of all the members of the Granstrom
family for e two hours. The
phenomenon was no doubt q mirage
and the presence Of camels would show
a stupendous mirage-photo of trans
actions that had appeared-or was,
then appearing at a place, like the
Suez canal. 1t was a strange sight
truly these giant steamers suspended
in midair-and though unusual such
sights are not unknown.
