had taken an interest in him after
ward. 1t was this friend to whom
Jasper applied when he was ready to
have the letter written, and the law
yer kept his secret.
1t was a month after the letter had
been sent that the crowd which al
ways assembled to await the arrival
OF the stagecoaches which came to-
gether from the slowly approaching
line of railroad in the valleys below
noted the ~restlessness and peculiar ac-
lions of Mr.. Jasper Price, who was by
far the most prominent figure in the
throng.
Newly shaven and spotlessly clean,
he was arrayed in a shining suit of
black and wore a glossy high silk hat.
He had given q bootblack 25 cents for
an extra shine on his large shoes. His
wide eXpanse of white shirt front
shone in the sunshine, and upon it

were a huge breastpin Of red and
green glass and a gorgeous necktie of
blue and yellow.
On his hands were his gloves Of a
saffron hue, while a watch chain Of
mighty and shining links was stretch
ed across his waistcoat front.
His black face was beaming with
kindly smiles, and he frequently
chuckled softly to himself as he moved
around restlessly in the crowd.
His excitement grew intense when
some n called out, 'There they
comet" and a great cloud of dust arose
at one end of the long, stony street.
The second of the two coaches bore
such a load as it had eve before car
ried. The driver, with his hand at the
side of his mouth, had told the "boys''
as he came up that all Africa had
"broke loose"
AT the side of the driver sat a short.
we'll knit, dust covered negro woman,
with a black and happy baby in her
lap. Her face was wreathed in smiles
as she looked down on the crowd, and
a great responsive shout came from
her lips when Uncle Jasper called out:
"Jinny, heah 1 is! Doan' you see me.
Jinny"
From every window and door Of the
coach grinning black heads of all sizes
and ages and in all sorts of caps and
hats and bonnets We're now thrust with
cries of Daddy! Daddy! Yves come.
daddy! Heah W. is, daddy"
Hits my familyv!' cried Jasper as
he pushed his way through the crowd.
"Dem's my folks in dat stage. Halla-
looyerw
Down and out they came into his
outstretched arms.
"Glory!v' he cried. "You's all heah!
Heah's Jacky an Lofty an Libbutty
Ann IN Ab'aham! Laws, how dey
has all growed! An de baby! Bless

They made a queer procession as
they walked away from the smiling
crowd. Jasper led the way with the
huge baby on his shoulder. His ra-
dainty happy wife walked by his side
loaded with baskets and bundles. while
the nine older children followed, each
carrying a pot or a pan or a teakettle
which their mother had foolishly seen
fit to bring all the way from Georgia.
Fortunate days had dawned for the
reunited family. Jasper's industry did
not flag, and he and his thrifty wife
showed great good sense in the use OF
the little fortune that had come ia
them.
When the decline of the camps pros.
perity came and the laundry business
was no longer profitable they went tc
fertile valleys below and bought a
ranch, that their numerous boys and
girls might be trained to habits of in.

A woman's voice rose, loud and
shrill, from a little tumbledown cabin
by a Georgia roadside. Evidently the
person addressed had no response to

woman's voice rose again.

A moment later a short, solidly built
elderly black woman came from the
cabin, holding a tin pail in each hand,
and hurried away toward a little
spring in a ravine some distance from
the house.
Her face was both wrathful and
fearful, and she had a worn, tired look.
A Tapping old calico bonnet, dropping
about her face, added to her detected
appearance.

Cutting ARRAY Follows a Gard Game
Among FInIanders.

Reports have reached Grand Forks
Of a serious cutting ARRAY at Nekoma
In which Erick Naveson of Nekoma,
formerly of Union, was probably IA
tally injured by Infatuated Ffnlanders
employed by the 500 road. Naveson
was terribly slashed by the Firms and
his lungs could be cen through some
of the wounds. Eight Firms have
been placed under arrest. In the mix
up some of the Films received wounds
more or less serious. Reports from
the affair are conflicting, but it seems
certain that there was a card game in
progress in a blind pig and it is
claimed that some of those playing
were accused of cheating. Nekoma
is in Cavalier county, and the au-
thorities there are investigating the
affair.
