The LeavenworthEBand Reorganized


Our band which has been in a torpid
state has been revived, reorganized and
new life has been put into it by the en-
ployment for two evenings every week
of one of the most competent instructors
in the northwest, Mr. Frank E. Prev
lit, leader and instructor OF the well
known Wenatchee band. I he citizens
have subscribed literally towards help
ing the band out in defraying their ex
penses, and all they expect is an occa-
sional outdoor concert when the band
gets well under practice again. The
band can make itself vastly more popu-
lar and get more help from the public
If they will themselves donate a little
music. The Wenatchee band gave free
evening concerts every week during
the pleasant summer weather, and the
town showed its appreciation by buy
ing a two hundred and fifty dollar set
of uniforms.

to find the great hall apparently quite
deserted.
1t is the curious faculty of some
men (whereby scientists refer us to
the ape) that they are able at will to
work back and forth the scalp upon
the skull. Yet others and perhaps
fewer men retain the ability to work
either or both ears, moving them
back and forth voluntarily. 1t was
Sans solitary accomplishment that
he could thus move his ears. Only
by this was he set apart and superior
to other beings.
AS Sam sat alone at the table, his
spoon rafting loud upon his plate in
evidence of his mental disturbance,
he abseut-mindedly began to work
back and forth his ears, perhaps So
licitous to learn if his accomplishment
had been impaired by the mishap
which had caused him other loss. AS
he did this, he was intensely startled
to hear behind him a burst of laugh
ter albeit laughter quickly smothered.
He turned to see Nora, his idol, his
adored, standing back of him, where
she had slipped in with professional
quiet and stood with professional ETH
quette, waiting for his departure. so
that she might hale forth the dishes
he had used. At this apparition, at
this awful sight-for never in the his
tory of man had Nora, the head wait
ress. been known to smile-the heart
of Sam stopped forthwith in his
bosom.
'I-I-I-I b-b-beg you'll d-didnt
know you was there" he stammered
in abject perturbation.
Nora shifted. II should think you
might of knowed it, said she.
Il d-d-don't b-b-blame you fer laugh

Sam miserably.

A great light broke over Sam. a

rushed forth in one mad wave.

and facing her, '"d-d-d-do y-y-you II

CHAPTER XVI.
The Artfulness of Sam.

For a brief time there might have
been found support for that ideally IN
accurate statement of our Constltu-
ton which holds that all men are born
free and equal, entitled to life, hber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness. With
all our might we belle this clause,
though in the time of Ellisville it
might have had some footing. That
day has long since passed
The stamping of the social die had
begun its work. Indeed, after a time
there came to be in the great dining
room of the Stone Hotel little groups
bounded by unseen but impossible
lines.
Sam, the owner of the livery barn,
had one table in the corner, where he
invariably sat. His mode of entering
the dining-room varied not with the
passing of the years. Appearing at the
door. he cast a frightened look at the
occupants who had preceded him, and
in whose faces he could imagine moth
ing but critical censure of his own
person. Becoming aware of his hat,
he made a dive and hung it up. Then
he trod timidly through the door, with
a certain side-draught in his step, yet
withal an acceleration of speed which
presently brought him almost at a
run to his corner of refuge. where he
dropped, red and with a gulp. When
Nora stood at his chair, and repeated
to him frostily the menu of the day.
all the world went round to Sam, and
he gained no idea of what was offered
him. With much effort at noncha-
lance, he would again wipe his face.
take up his fork for twiddling, and
say always the same thing.
"Oh, amt very hungry; jes' bring
me a little pie ar beef an coffee" y
And Nora. scornfully ignoring all this,
then departed and brought him many
things. setting them in array about
his plate. and enabling him TO eat as
really he wished. Whether Sam knew
that Nora would do this is a question
which must remain unanswered, but
it is certain that he never changed
the form Of his own order"
Sam was a citizen. He had grown
up with the town. He was, so TO
speak. one Of the charter members of
Ellisville. and thereby entitled to con-
sideration. There was no reason why
sam might not look any man in the

face or any woman. But this latter
Sam had never done. His admiration
for Nora babe fair to remain secret
known of all but the one most inter-
ested Daily Sam sat at the table and
listened to Nora's icy tones. Daily ne

fore the sun had set he would nave
told this woman of that which so OPP
pressed him; yet each day, after he
had dined, he stole furtively away to
the hat rack and Slouched across the
street to his barn, gazing down at
his feet with abasement on his soul.
Il amt afeard O. any boss that ever
stood up" said he to himself, but |
can't say a word to that Nory girl. no
matter how | try
Accident sometimes accomplishes
that which design fails to compass.
One day Sam was detained with a
customer much later than his usual
dinner hour. Indeed, Sam had not
been to dinner at the hotel for many
days, fact which the district physi-
clan at the railway might have ex-
planned. "Of course" said Sam, Il
done the drivin, an maybe that was
why l got froze some more than Cap
Franklin did when we went down
south that day." Frozen he had been,
so that two of his fingers were now
gone at the second joint, part of his
right ear was trimmed of unnecessary
tissue, and his right cheek remained
red and SCARED with the blister OF
the cold endured on that drive over
the desolated land. 1t was crippled
and still more timid Sam who, unwit-
tingly very late, halted that day at
the door of the dining-room and gaZed
within. He lodged to his table and
sat down without look at any of his
neighbors. To him it seemed that
Nora regarded him with yet more Wis
IDLE scornfulness.
One by one the guests at the table
rose and left the room, and one by
one the waiter girls followed them.
The dining hour was nearly over.
Sam, absorbed in his own misery and
his own hunger, awoke with start

CHAPTER xxv-continued.

Franklin burst open the door, and
they both went in, half pausing. There
was that which might well give them
pause. The table was gone, the chairs
were gone. The interior was nearly
denuded, so that the abode lay like an
abandoned house, drifted half full OF
dry, fine powdered snow. And even
this snow upon the floors had no
tracks upon its surface. There was
no sign of life.
Awed, appalled,, the two men stood,
white and huge, in the middle of the
abandoned room, listening for that
which they scarce expected to hear.
Yet from one of the side rooms they
caught moan, call, duplication.
Then from a door came tall and
white-faced figure with staring eyes,
which held out its arms to the taller
of the snow-shrouded forms and said:
Uncle, is it you? Have you come
back? We were so afraid" From
the room behind this figure came
voice sobbing, shouting blessing the
name of the Lord. So they knew that
two were saved, and one was miss
ing. They pushed into the remaining
room. "Auntie went away" said the
tall and white-faced figure, shuddering
and shivering. She went away into
her room. We could not find the
fence any more. Uncle, is it you?

and saw Mrs. Buford lying covered
with all her own clothing and much
of that of Mary Ellen and Aunt Lucy,
but with no robe; for the buffalo
robes had all gone with the wagon,
as was right, though unavailing. I'm
der this covering, heaped up, though
insufficient, lay Mrs. Buford, her face
white and still and marble-cold. They
found her with the picture of her hus-
band clasped upon her breast.
"She went away" sobbed Mary FL
len, leaning her head upon Franklin's
shoulder and still under the hallucina-
ton of the fright and strain and suf-
fering. She seemed scarce to under
stand that which lay before them, but

and Drinks It.
While the mother was unpacking
an old trunk a little IS months old
baby got hold of a bottle of carbolic
acid while playing on the floor and
his stomach was so badly burned it
was feared he would not live for he
could not eat ordinary foods. The
mother says in telling of the case:
at was all two doctors could do to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing
would lay on his stomach. Finally
took him into the country and tried
new milk and that was no better for
him. His Grandma finally suggested
Grape Nuts and am thankful adopt
ed the food for he commenced to get
better right away and would not eat
anything else. He commenced TO get
fleshy and his cheeks like red roses
and now he is entirely well.
Il took him to Matamoras on visit
and every place we went TO stay to
eat he called for Grape-Nuts and l
would have to explain how he came
to call for it as it was his main food.

attended the baby are DR.. Eddy of

Austrian Tobacco MONOPOLY.

The manufacture and sale of tobac-
CO is state monopoly in Austria

purchases the raw material, manufac-
lures it into cigars, cigarettes, smok-
ing tobacco and snuff, and sells to the
consumer through licensed agents,
who receive a fixed commission, aver
aging about 10 per cent. on the pro-
ceeds of their sales.
