we tackled the baked beans. and they
tasted like Neapolitan ice cream. Then
we felt like working But | was feel
ing pretty serious, because l knew that
Arabella was beginning to worry. How
ever fell to with a good will. and aft
er two hours of hard work we met in
the snow tunnel the minister and me.
ana minute afterWard we walked
out to open air and saw t1e strangest
sight that could be imagined.
North as far as the eye could reach
the country lay covered 80 feet deep
with an arctic snowfall South Of US
the grass was just beginning to show
green and skunk cabDages were al
ready pushing up through the earth.
And in front of us stood the parsons
lonely house, with box of a church
next door to it and not another build
ing in sight
We grasped the parscn's hand and
told him he was white man if ever
there was one, and then | asked him
what chances there were of my being
able to get back to Laramie.
He told me that the road to the sta
ton was completely blocked and it
would be two days before | could get
through. Two days. l instinctively
pulled out my watch. 1t was $50. In
ten minutes, parsOn,' said l, my wed
ding will be due in Laramie, and Ara
bella is even now waiting for me-
He was expressing his sympathy
when we heard n roaring noise. and
Smithson said: Run for your lives! A
cyclone"
The three of us instinctively dived
into the snow. Then we heard a muf-
fled roar, and the earth shook. and if
was all over. Just to make sure we
lay in the snow for few minutes, and
then we crept out. Such a scene as
met our gaze! The church and the par
sons house were the only movable
things that hadn't moved. Trees were
leveled on all sides, and the plains in
front of us were full of debris from va
riOus states.
Just in front Of me were half a hun
dred crates of eggs, whipped to an ON
elet by the wind bunch of bananas.
a white horse and a library Of books
labeled Cheyenne Free Library And.
stuck in the snowbank was a woman
IN gray travelling dress The parson
pulled her out, wondering if it was
neighbor, but l, catching sight Of her
face, recognized her as Arabella! Ara
bella in her wedding dress, my friends,
"Of course the next days papers all
over the country had full accounts of
the awful cyclone that had struck Lar
annie and had run northeast into the
Dakotas, but not word about Arabel-
Ia except the fact that she was missing
and her mother was frantic.
Now, you may say that it was her
womans love that guided her on the
back of the storm to where | was. but
even if so it was a remarkable occur
renee
In a minute she opened her ewes.
and then she sat up, and then she saw
me. She was always quick to take in
a situation, and she held out her arms
to me. | kissed her just once for luck. |
and then looked at my watch. 1t was |

II There is to be IAN Invasion of Foreign
Capital" For Development the Fact
Must be Advertised.

The Baltimore Ne,Os says: 'It is
TO be hoped that the Eastern Shore of
Maryland will throw out few bait
lines for share of that threatened 'in-
vasion of foreign capital" Delaware
might as well add few more bait lines
to the number. If there is to be an
invasion of foreign capital'' this State
should advertise the fact that it can ac-
commodate investors, and make room
Tor mills and factories that will give
employment to thousands of hands.

THE DREAMAWAY PLACE.

The Dreamaway place is down by the brook.
In cool retreat where tall trees grow;
The moss is soft in the shadowy nook,
And there's music made by the waters flow,
And you lie at ease and upward look
And dream the happiest dreams you know.
great rock shelters the Dreamaway place,
Affording ever the coolest shade;
The green leaves waver like ilmy lace
fairy veil oer the whole spot laid
And lilies bow with a winning grace
On the edge of the brook in the quiet glade.
Oh, the Dreamaway place is a remedy sure
For worry and heartache and petty care,
And the wild birds song can always cure,
And tonic turks in the scented airI
The spirit groweth strong and pure
With an hours repose in Dreamland there.

MARYLAND TOWNS.

When we consider, however, the
question of population in Delaware
we discover that but five towns out
side OF Wilmington, with a population
OF over two thousand or more are in
this State. Let us take seven of the
largest towns in Delaware in order to
compare them with seven towns in the
Maryland counties on the peninsula.
1t will be seen that the Delaware
towns, taken together, are loosing in
population, as the following table will
show:
