.suppose setteneed you to slay no


 No use. I an the tribunal of las resort"
 "Then I throw myself upon the mer cy of the court"
 You do well, MT. Siward. This court is very merciful. How much dc you care for bird murder? Very much Is there anything you care for more Yes? And could this court grant it tc you in compensation?'
 He said deliberately, reused by the level challenge of her gaze, "The court is incompetent to compensate the pris, oner or offer any compromise"
 Why, MT. Siward"
 Because the court herself is already compromised in her future engage ments."
 But what has my engagement to do with"-
 "You offered compensation for de- priving me of my shooting. There could be only one adequate compensa- tion."
 And thatT she asked, coolly enough.
 Your continual companionship."
 But you have it, Mir. Siward."
 "I have it for a day. The season lasts three months, you know" ,..
 And you and I are to play a con- tinuous vaudeville for three months! :! Is that your offer?"
 Partly"
 "Then one day with me is not worth those many days of murder?" she ask ed in pretended astonishment.
 Ask yourself why those many days would be doubly empty" he said, so seriously that the pointless game be- gan to confuse her.
 "Then'-she turned lightly from un. certain ground-"then perhaps we had better be about that matter of the cup you prize SO highly. Are you ready. Mir. Siward? There is much to be killed yet, including time, you know"
 T am not sure," he reflected, just exactly what should ask of you if you insist on taking away"-he turned and looked about him through the burnt gold foliage-"if you took away all this out of my life"
 q shall not take it, because I have nothing in exchange to offer, you say" she answered imprudently.
 q did not say so," he retorted.
 "You did, reminding me that the court is already engaged for n con- tinuous performance"
 Was it necessary to remind you?" he asked, with deliberate malice.
 She flushed up, vexed, silent, then looked directly at him with beautiful hostile eyes. What do you mean, Mr. Siward? Are you taking our harm. less, idle badinage as warrant for an intimacy unwarranted"
 Have l offended?' he asked, so impassively that flash of resentment brought her to her feet, angry and self possessed. How far have we to go?" she asked quietly. He rose to his feet, turned, hailing the keeper. repeating the question. And at the answer they both started for ward, the dog ranging ahead through a dense growth of beech and chestnut, over a high brown ridge, then down, always down along leafy ravine to the waters edge-a forest pond set in i the gorgeous foliage of rlpening naples. 1 "l don't see," said Sylvia inpatient ly. "how we are going to obey instruc. tions and go straight ahead. There must be a stupid boat somewherew But the game laden keeper shook his head. pulled up his hip boots, and pointed out line of alder poles set in the water to mark a crossing.
 Am expected to wade? asked the girl anxiously.

P~rophesies Hard Winter.

A. Fl. Huston, the old-time Cow
creek stockman, was down from
his place Tuesday and Wednes-
day. In conversation with hira
we learned that the present wint-
er is, in his estimation, going to
be one of the longest and severest
that this country has known for
many years. The fact of the
early snowfall in October, and
that we have had but one day of
wind this winter, is indicitive to
him that stockmen will have to
look we'll to their herds before
spring.
81 have heard the Indians talk
of such a winter" said Mr.. Hus-
ton, but l never saw one, and !
have been here since 1857. The
Indians says that such a winter,
years and years ago, killed of all
the buffalo in this mountain re-
gion. The snow fell four or FIVE
deep on the level and the buffalo
could not get out of it, and as it
extended over a scope of country
covering four or five hundred
miles square, why they just died
by the thousands.
81 notice that they are feeding
the antelope in Colorado. Most
people think that an antelope will
live where anything else would
die, and they will, but there come
times when even an antelope must
give up the ghost. I have seen
antelope piled up in heaps where
they had died simply from starva-
ton. In the winter of 1864 s,
when l was hunting for the Over
land Stage Company, 1 saw 81
dead antelope in one pile up at
Laclede station, in the Red Des-
ert country. 1 counted over 100
dead antelope scattered
over the country near Rock Greek
station, right at the foot of the
on the Overland Trail,
that winter"

day, January 4th The school is
progressing in a very satisfactory
manner and the trustees are we'll

The Magnolia is situated in

port the prospects of the early
commencement of work on this
project in the spring AZ good and
believe at this time that it will be
pushed rapidly. The builiing of
this reservoir system means a

bring under cultivation some of
the finest agricultural land in the

A HowlinG Blizzard

The wind rose this morning
early and as we go to press one of
the severest blizzards ever known
here is raging. The air in full of
snow to the height of 100 feet and
the whole face of the earth seems
to be moving eastward. Although
it will block trains and paralize all
kinds of business, the blizzard is
a welcome, tho unpleasant, visitor,
for it will pile the snow up in
drifts and coulees and leave bare
ground in its wake, so that stock
can get at the feed. 1t is indeed
an "ill wind that blows nobody
good"
