A Remarkable Record

David G.. Browne and his wife
who have been in this city for the
past three months, have left for
home, after a very pleasant sojourn
among their friends. Mr.. Browne
while here had his final settlement
with the treasury department and
has the distinction of being the
only man. who has acted as col
lector of customs, whose accounts
balanced to a cent with those of
the depart ment. This is a most
wonderful record, when it is con-
sidered that he served eight years
as collector and under five differ
ent commissions, Before turning
his office over to his successor, Mr..
Browne made a memorandum of
the balance, as shown on his books
and the accounts were closed on the
statement rendered by him on his
retirement from the office. There
are so many different accounts in
an office of this kind and so many
appropriations that funds are drawn
from and charged to, thus render
ing the bookkeeping very intricate,
a balance on all of them, and it is
no reflection upon a collector who
does not interpret the rules by
which the accounts are audited.
In this instance it goes to show
that Mr. Browne is most saga
cions business man and one of the
best bookkeepers that has ever had
the fortune to serve as a collector
for Uncle Sam.-Great Falls Tri-
bune.

mean, but he would tolerate nothing
of that kind in his town. That vane
was to come down in very short time,
even if he had to remove it himself.
Descending the stairs he went over
to the Emporium and introduced him
self to the proprietor. Mr. Glimmer
was a slender man of sallow complex
ion and looked at the world through
iron-framed spectacles. He was glad
to meet Guy and presented him to sew
eral citizens; among others, Elisha
McQuill1in, the postmaster, Lemuel
Bilxins, a youth of harmless aspect,
whose abnormally long and spider-like
legs were the standing joke of the
town; Christopher Waffle, justice of
the peace and proprietor of a thresh-
ing outfit, and Bill Comfort, who oper-
ated Judge Waffle's engine. CONVEX
sation with these gentlemen revealed
such a depth of anilnosity and bitter
ness over the county-seat question
that Guy was surprised.
''The Harmony folks have threat
ened to come down on us like Assyri-
ans on the fold and run off with the
county records" observed Mr. Glim-
mer, his thin lips COMPRISING and his
eyes cleaning through his glasses.
''Well fool 'em if they try it on, / can
tell you. I've only to pull this rope"
he laid his hand on rope that dan
gled through a hole in the ceiling
"and bell on the roof III ring out a
warning and bring every citizen to the
new courthouse"
"And every citizen will bring gun"
snapped Waffle.
"And use it if necessary" Numbered
McQuilkin.

your attention to Boschee's German

CHAPTER IT.
IN THE HOSTILE CAMP.

IN THE HOSTILE CAMP.
Guy had four hours and half his
disposal before the freight train left
Concord, and he made up his mind that
he would put in the time looking over
the town. Before descending the de-
crepit stairs leading from the Blizzard
office, he fingered at the top to scan
the three points of the compass that
lay open to him. AS the building occu-
pied by the newspaper was we'll al the
foot of the main thoroughfare, nearly
the whole of Concord lay under the
young mans eye.
Certainly no eulogies were to be
wasted upon that collection of houses
and stores. The principal street had
roads debouching to left and right.
Buildings were not huddled together;
on the contrary, they were far apart,
with stretches of virgin prairie be-
tween them. 1t had been the policy of
the Townsite company to donate lot
in each block in the residence portion
to any one who would build house
upon it. For this reason, nearly every
dwelling had block to itself.
Main street began at the Northern
Pacific depot and ran south for half
mile beyond the Blizzard building, the
latter closing up the ragged file of
store structures. Just south of the
depot was huge. barn-like hotel. The
hotel, be it observed, always formed
the nucleus of the "boom" town.
Across from the hotel was the office of
a real estate agent; south Of that, on
the same side, was building erected
by the Townsite company for bank;
then there was drug store and then
Mr.. Benjamin Glimmer's Emporium,
and then a livery stable, the latter al
most opposite the Blizzard building.
Between the latter and the hotel was
the new courthouse.
AS Guy gave further attention to
the courthouse he saw something
which had before escaped him, namely,
a weather vane. This vane was cut
into the profile of mans head, hand
before the face, thumb to the nose and
digits outspread. The head looked
steadily and insolently westward and
refused to move with the northwest
wind. Guys anger arose at the sight.
He had no idea what such vane might

you?"
"My name is Herbert, Guy Herbert"
answered the young man. The other
acknowledged receipt of the informa-
ton with,a nod. ''You were the man
ager of the Townsite Company, were
you not ?''
''Were!"I cried the Colonel. 81 am, sir,
at the present m moment"
'Three men owned the townsite,' y
continued Guy: "Mr. Harlow Briggs,
president of the III. G. & Y. railroad;
Mr. Edward Thomas, lumber dealer
in ST. Paul, and Mr.. Montford Herbert.
Mr.. Briggs and Mr.. Thomas sold out to
Mr.. Herbert, and Mr.. Herbert" the
young mans voice trembled-"died
two months ago."
''You don't tell mel" calculated the
Colonel. "Of course ! know all about
the company; in fact, [ am on IA
miliar terms with Briggs and Thomas
and both knew and admired-ad-
mired, say, sir-Mr. Montford
Herbert" The Colonel settled back
in his chair and shook his head sad
ly. "And SO Herbert is gone" he
murmured. "This news comes with
appalling suddenness."
"Mr. Montfort Herbert" resumed
Guy, twas my father"
"Your father!" The Colonel strug-
gled to his feet, rushed upon Guy
and wrenched his hand powerfully.
"My dear boy, this would be happy
moment for me were you not the
bearer of such sorrowful news" The
Colonel dropped Guys hand, reached
behind him to the tails of his coat
and brought forth a large bandanna
handkerchief. Applying this to his
eyes, he proceeded to pace the mar
row confines of the sanctum while
rallying from the blow.
Guy was surprised at this mani
festation of feeling. He was aware
that his father had known Col. Keev-
er well; so well that, having acquired
entire CHARGE Of the town. he was
on the point Of dispensing with the
managers services at the time his
last illness came upon him.
Hating under TIE stovepipe hole,
the Colonel recovered the paper
weight, again seated himself and
laid both paper weight and handker-
chief on the desk beside him.
