The Storm Without.

The Storm Without.
The woman's first thought when she
stepped outside the door was that at
Ill hazards they must go back. The
wind almost swept her away; only the
steadying grasp Of the boy, better pre-
pared than she for the attack of the
storm. enabled her to keep her feet.
Yet the presence of that CHASTITY thing
on the floor which was affecting even
her iron nerve, prevented their return.
Whatever happened they must 60 on!
The door of that shelter was closed
to them forever by the dead or dying
tenant She realized however. that
their chances of escaping freezing to
death in this mad endeavor were so
small as to be practically none. Well,
fate had forced her into this position.
She would follow the path she had
chosen, whatever might be at the end
Of the way.
Speech was we'll nigh impossible.
The boy staggered on past the win
dow. and she followed until the lee
Of the house was reached. Between

open space the horses were tied.
The boy was a natural horseman.
He had picked out the best two bron-
eos In the camp. If any animals could
take them to safety, these could. Not
yet chilled by the fierce cold, they
sntied the shivering, reluctant, terri
fed horses from the wooden pins driv.
en- into the chinks between the log
walls of the house to which they had
been hitched, mounted them, and
threading their way round the drift
started southwark on their awful ride.
They left death behind them-and 10!
death doomed before and on either
hand.
Except where the storm was broken
BY houses. drifts had not yet formed.
The wind was too terrific; 1t swept
the level prairie clean. But away
from the shelter Of the house they got
the full force of it. Although they
were thickly clad In wool and fur, the
pressure of the storm drove their gar
ments against their bodies, and soon
hlled them with icy cold. There was
no help for 1t, no relief from it. They
had to bear it. They could only bend
their backs to it and keep on, trust
kng to the endurance of their horses.
The woman judged that 1t had been
about one in the morning when they
had started. The Overland Limited
ran through the station at three. No
horses that lived could have made
that Is miles In two hours under those
conditions. 1t was more than prob
Ahle. however, that the limited would
be greatly delayed by the storm. and

when they reached the station. they
would find food, fire and shelter.

brand won't be the least bit like the old-time
event that was awaited with more anticipation
than was bestowed even upon the Fourth of July
or the annual visit Of the monster and mas
todonic united shows" Perhaps this cherished
idol OF youth may not have been really and
truly county fair" for not all county fairs can
enjoy the prestige of location at the county seat,
but after all, that is minor matter in the eyes
OF the outsider and can ever be convinced
that the world ever held more important "agri-
cultural exposition" than the one at which
youngster he exhibited his chickens or peddled
peanuts sold scorecards.
That as has been said, the old-fashioned county
fair hasn't been changed beyond recognition, even
to this day. is all the more a matter Of surprise
when we take into account the revolutionary
changes that have taken place in other phases
of rural life. The introduction of rural free de-
livery, for instance, has done away with the
necessity and the opportunity for those friendly
gatherings at the crossroads store when the farm
ers who drove over for the mail stole little
leisure in which to swap stories. Similarly
photograph in every farm house has somewhat
dulled the appetite for those periodic concerts
at the little red school house, the presence
on the roads of those Tipping, screechng automo-
biles has knocked all the romance out Of those
buggy rides in the moonlight when old Dobbin
was allowed to find his own way and set his own
pace
Not only has the county fair withstood the
ravages of time and the onslaught Of modern
invention, but in some respects 1t has benefited
by lapse of time. That is, many fair of the
present day is vastly bigger and better than was
the corresponding event the same grounds
score or more of years ago. 1t is not due solely
to the natural increase of population, either,
yet to that "back-to-the-soil" crusade which has
swept over the land The latter has helped, how
ever because it has added to the population Of
many a rural district men and women who
engaging in farming for pleasure as well for
profit and who enter their products at the
by fairs as matter of pride just breeder of
fine dogs will travel all over the country to dis
play his booded CANNES at the big dog shows,
though the prizes would not pay the express
charges on the animals.
The automobile, despised though it be in many
quarters has had big influence in bringing
greater prosperity to ater-day county fairs.
The advent of the horseless vehicles and the fad
for touring, taken in conjunction with that i'm
provement of country roads which has been 60
ing this past decade or So has made it possible
for farmers to travel greater distances to the
fairs. The tiller of the soil who in the old days
was content to take his family to fair-the
one nearest home, may now, If he has one Of
those automobiles that are constructed especially
