of 1865.

Aug. IL everything in tht

for sixty days, the time neces
sary to reach the fork of tht
Big Horn, will be in readiness
| Capt. Fisk will have the aid O
several noted officers familiar
with the region to be traversed
and backwoods guides selected
for skill and courage. He has
organized complete baggage
and supply train, camp ano
garrison equipage, and re
quires every man with him to
bring full equipment of ser
viceable arms. The whole
command will be subdivided
into companies of fifty each
under competent officers.
In the wake of this expedi.
ton others are already project
ed for the ensuing year, but
the eyes of the country will
follow with anxious, yet per-
fectly confident concern, the
march of the brave pioneers
who are to lay the foundations
of another mountain state on
the sands of silver and gold.
The cost of joining this ex-
petition is as follows: For
subsistence and transportation
of fifty pounds of baggage be-
sides bedding for one person,
$125; for every additional 100
pounds of baggage, $25. Fam
lilies availing themselves of the
benefits and protection of the
expedition, and furnishing
their own team, provisions,
etc., $25 for each grown person.
The latter should have with
them at least nine months
supply of provisions for all
contingencies.
The business, men and citi-
zens of ST. Paul will hold a
mass meeting at Ingersoll's
hall Monday evening to con-
slider what steps should be tax

dition about starting for Mon
tana.

Callihan was Etaken prisoner
by the same regiment his

where brother fought against

sobbed her assent. Two weeks later,
when Jaques was able to sit up in bed,
the mortgage was given, and both hus.

Swears He'll Foreclose.
Milo Green put the document in his
pocket and rose to go. The wife was
sobbing. AS he started towards the
door Milo turned suddenly and blazed
out at his sick rival:

"if you don't brace up and be man

foreclose the mortgage the minute it
falls due. | did this in the hope Of

From that day on Jaques was sober.
AS he slowly regained his health he
sought work and found 1t in a lumber
yard, and he and his wife settled down
to save money to raise the mortgage on
their boy. Every six months they paid
the interest, and the little fortune in
the bank grew larger.
They do not know it yet but every
cent of interest money that has been
paid is in bank at st. Johnsbury to
the order Of one Claire Leseuer.

but the couple is certain that, by extra
work and extra saving. they can al
most accumulate enough to settle the
debt by September. The father is wor-
rying over the prospect, and working
harder and harder to get money enough
to settle the debt, but. strange as 1t
may seem, the mother is not worrying
a bit.
Minister Takes a Hand.
A few weeks ago the minister heard
of the strange mortgage that Capt.
Green held on the little boy up at
Guildhall. and he drove over to remon-
strate with the captain about such I'M
natural traffic.
What Capt. Green said to the minis
ter is not entirely known. But it is a
strange thing that the next day, on
meeting neighbor, Capt. Green re.
marked that the preacher was pretty

Green to the Rescue.
How Milo Green ever heard Of the
plight of the girl who Tilted him no
one knows, but one morning he ap-
peared In Guildhall and inquired the
way to the home Of the Leseuers. The
mother, worn out by nights vigil at
the bedside of her sick husband and
the care of her child, answered the
knock on the door, and saw her old
sweetheart standing there. With a
word of sympathetic greeting he enter
ed and spoke with her plainly. He
urged her to leave the man who had
treated her so badly, but she refused.
He pleaded that she owed 1t to herself
and her child, but she still refused, and
he departed.
An hour later he returned with a
woman, bearing food and wine and del

To tell the story of this remarkable
transaction, and the strange romance
which is back of it, il is necessary to
go back number of years, and to the
