CHAPTER XIII.


The man In charge Of the apartment
house at No. 20 Rue de Santin was a
short, dumpy man, of the name OF Gug-
haton. Though be spoke French fluent
~, even with the accent OF native, his
high Tartar cheek bones, his 0blique
eyes, and gutteral information when unduly
excited, sufficiently attested his Russian
origin.
In Gughatof, the Russian, Nj. Cas-
sagne found he had a far more difficult
person 70 deal with than the little laun-
dress, plant by reason OF her excessive
greed. With Gughatof whose political
opinions now constituted his whole life

CAUGHT IN PRAIRIE BLIZZARD
How School Children of a Nebraska
Town Were Helped Home

Town Were Helped Home.
Last Sunday was the twentieth an
niversary of the great blizzard of 1888
in Nebraska and Northwestern Iowa"
said G. ID. Riggs the other day. Il
was living in O'Neill, Neb., at the time,
and had just left the Office to go home
for dinner when the blizzard struck.
Il started to cross the street to Il
drug store, but when / reached the
other side l found myself half way
down the block from my destination.
The fine, wind-driven snowdakes
filled the air so that / couldn't see my
hand before me. / finally worked my
way back to the drug store, where a
number Of other men had taken refuge
from the storm.
School had just been dismissed for
the noon recess, and we knew that
nearly 800 children were out in the
storm. Securing long ropes, the crowd
started out to rescue them. We found
them huddled in doorways and by the
sides Of buildings. The children
caught hold of the ropes and were led
to shelter by their rescuers, whose
sense OF direction gradually returned
to them. Every one OF the 300 school
children In the town was got home In
safety.
But seven school teachers were
frozen TO death in the country during
the blizzard and thousands OF cattle
died. The thermometer fell from about
the freezing point at noon 10 20 de
grees below zero that night 1t was
the worse blizzard ever saw. and /
never want 10 experience another like
it"-Des MOines Register and Lender.

The detective drew out the locket and
placed 1t before her. Nine. Beausantin
took it in her hand, adjusted it to the
light of the shop window, and examined
1t carefully.
This is the portrait Of very young

''He looked downward at a slight an

The detective drew out the second note
and balanced it dexterously between his
fingers.
"Tell me where he lived, and this is
yours also"
He lived at No. 20 Rue de Santin.

wickIife R. Smith, the impossible
of Peruna fame, has started another
paper at Cameron, this state and
has named it the Potlatch Star. In
speaking of the division of Nez Perez
county he suggests that every can
didate for the legislature this fall
sign the following pledge:
ST hereby pledge my word and
honor that I will, if elected, vote
against every bill that may be intrs-
duced in the Idaho legislature for
the purpose of dividing Nez Perez
county"
Now this pledge is all right and
will hurt no one but in soliciting men
for the legislature it would be we'll
to get men whose word is worth
something and who have some con-
ception of what honor is, otherwise
the pledge will do no good.

The man behind the newspaper
Is the man who gets the news,
Who reads the plots of human heart
and tragedy reviews
Who breasts q storm on winters nigh
and rushes through the rain
To tell the sum of happiness,
OF sorrow and of pain.
No laurel ever crowns his brow
The world declines 10 praise;
He moves unnoticed and unknown
In crowded human ways.
No soldier in the ranks more brave,
No patriot more true,
A rare devotion il revealed
In all he tries to do.
And while no hugle blare may lift
His merit to the skies.
