THE REV. Mr.. D|NCLEY
[Original.]

[Original]
Having been ordered by the bishop
to proceed to Helena to fill the place Of
a brother clergyman who had been
taken i'll, was proceeding by stage
the only vehicle then in use in Mon
tana-and alone in the coach. Shortly
before dusk the driver pulled up in a
lonely place, and l heard him talking
with some one. Then a man opened the
door and got in. He was roughly
dressed, but his face was singularly
refined.
and we soon got into an animated dis
cussion. He knew by my canonicals
that was clergyman of the Episco-
pal church, and told him that was
the Rev. Charles Dingley, going to
Helena to preach the next day.
"Well, now," he said, that's strange.
am going to Helena for the same pur-
pose"
"YouY
certainly. may not appear very
clerical in this toggery," glancing at
his high boots, corduroy trousers and
blue flannel shirt, "but l will engage
to preach you as orthodox sermon as
any regularly ordained clergyman in
our church."
I smiled. The man was surely jok-
ing.
"We'u be there in an hour" he con-
hnued. Meanwhile I must be making
my preparations. You see, was out
fishing when received the bishops or
der, and, not having time to 60 home
and get on my priestly garments. l cut
across the country to meet this COACH
There was something very extraor
dinary about this. Surely the bishop
would not order two men on the same
duty. l stared at the fellow and wait

I laughed again. Putting his hanC
|. to his hip, he drew a six shooter anG
placed the muzzle disgustingly near my
nose. 1t was now evident that there
was some desperate business in the
wind, and. realizing my defenseless
ness, l took off my coat, my vest, my
trousers and turned them over Wher
I handed him the gold cross which
always wore suspended from my neck
he hesitated q moment. as though the
sacrilege was trifle too much for him

hat he looked far more of a clergyman

ed.

said. "You will find it in my trousers

"Your purse?" he replied. "Do yor

rob you?" And, taking out the purse
after glancing at its contents, be tossed
it to me.
MAY I put on your clothes?"

EnfoldinEs.
Tho snowflake that softly all night Is
whitening treetop and pathway:
Ihe avalanche suddenly rushing with
darkness and death to the hamlet;
The ray stealing In through the lattice to
Waken the day loving baby;
The pitiless horror Of light in the sun
Smitten reach of the desert;
The seed with its pregnant surprise of
welcome young leaf1et and blossom:
The despair Of the wilderness tangle and
treacherous thicket of forest;
The happy west wind as 1t startles some
noon laden flower from it's dreaming;
The hurricane crashing Its way through
the homes and the life of the valley;
The play of the pellets of fame when tho
children laugh out on the hearth

The town or the prairie consumed in a
terrible. kissing combustion;
The glide of wave on the sands with its
myriad sparkle in breaking;
Tho roar and the fury Of ocean, limit

The leaping of heart unto heart with bliss
that can never be spoken:
The passion that maddens and shows how

For this when the storm beats me down

MINNESOTA II \ CENTRAL ROAD


Capitalists Visit State For lnvsstiR,t.

From Msnksto.
HUTCHINSON was visited Monday by
q party of east rn capitalists and
some OF the officials of the Minnesota
Central Railway Company who were
inspecting the pf opposed route for the
railway and investigating into the
character of the country, and the
probability of the roads being q good
paying proposition if built.
The party had been to Mankato and
had driven over most Of the country
to the south of here on the proposed

way of New Auburn Monday.
In the party who were in Hutchin-

N. D., the president of the company,
and Geo. A. Van Reed, of Reading,
Pa, one of the vice presidents. were
with the party at Mankato and me,
with them later at Minneapolis on
Wednesday,.
After driving over the route the
gentlemen were much impressed with
the wealth of the country through
which they passed and with the urgen,
need in this territory for an outlet to
tidewater by way of Duluth. They
were also convinced that the line
would be fine paying Investment.
All the party except two returned tc
Minneapolis from here, but Col. Small
and Mr.. DaIzell, who drove to Litch'
field the following day to look over
the intervening country and to sizs
up the city of Litchfield. They were,
judging from the expressions made,
greatly surprised at the evidences o1
wealth in the country and the grea,
diversity of products.
During their visit here Mr.. Lamber,
was spokesman for the party and gave
it out cold that the road was going tc
be built and there was no question
about it. he insisted that there was
urgent need for the road which was
quickly recognized on investigation
and it would be bound to pay from the
start.
Mr.. Lambert laid bare the plans Of
The promoters of the scheme with the
greatest appal ent frankness and stat
ed that they had two plans in view.
One was to contract with q trus
company to take the entire bond Issue
of the company, $4,000, 900, and to con
struct the entire line. Another wa,
to sell the bonds themselves where they
could and to construct the road, il
twenty mile sections.
Mr.. Lambert also wished it under
stood that the Rock Island system wa
back of the proposition the compan,
claims to have to take the bonds an,

tenn was going to build line from
Albert Lea to Mank ato which woult
connect with tbs road.

seriousness Of the situation came upon
me. | had never been to Helena and
did not know a soul in the town.
The landlord held the coach door till
men were summoned, who took me into
the tavern and upstairs to q room. or,
rather, large closet without q win

was cot in the room, and soon after
my incarceration the door was opened
and my supper handed in. There was
nothing for me to do but accept the
situation, so l ate the supper, then
threw myself on the bed and fell
asleep.
1t was the next afternoon about 3
o'clock that heard q number of foot
steps on the stairs. and my door was
suddenly unlocked and thrown open.
There stood three we'll dressed men.

man who came in the coach with you

"Yes, he forced me to give him my
clothes and when we arrived told the
landlord was lunauc"
"And you are"-

"Gentlemen, we have been sold"
"Well?" I asked.

preached this morning made an i'm
passioned appeal for funds to be used
in erecting reformatory where road
agents and swindlers could be gently
led back to the paths Of virtue. He got

flown, and the collection was not to be

man who had robbed me of my clothes
and had so wrought upon his hearers

perpetrated the neatest trick ever play
ed on the unsuspecting citizens of that
region. THEODORE RICHARDS.

How Roads are Ruilt.

The tendency of the present age
is toward the use of machinery,
wherever possible and in the i'm
provcment Of highways Of every
kind the use of ditching and road
making machines and Of heavy
road rollers is Of tho first import
anee if economy and efficiency are
to 80 hand in hand. The use of
proper apparatus for the shaping
up of the roadbed and the subse-
qusnt hardening Of its surface is
of paramount importance and
every supervisor of public roads
should have at his disposition, at
least during a part Of each year,
tue machinery above referred to.
In considering tho building OF
roads in rural districts the matter
of first cost must always be
kept in view. While this may ap-
pear somewhat high on account Of
the purchase of machinery, if sew
eral townships join in the purchase
of the required outfit the cost Of
each will hardly be felt, and the
results obtained will fully Justify
the investment.
