The Wonders About Us.

Let not care and humdrum deaden
US to the wonders and mysteries amid
which we live, nor to the splendors
and glories. We need not translate
ourselves in imagination to some 9th
er sphere or state of being to find the
marvellous, the divine, the transcend
ent; we need not postpone our day
of wonder and appreciation to some
future time and condition. The true
inwardness of this gross visible world
hanging like an apple on the bough
of the great cosmic tree, and swelling
with all the juices and potencies Of
life, transcends anything we have
dreamed of superterrestrial abodes.-
John Burroughs.

PROLOGUE-Continued.
The Storm Without.

The Storm Without.
The woman's first thought when she
stepped outside the door was that at
all 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 go 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
q
open space the horses were tied.
The boy was natural horseman.
He had picked out the best two bron-
cos in the camp. If any animals could
take them to safety, these could. Not
yet chilled by the fierce cold, they
united 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 loomed before and on either
hand
Except where the storm was broken
by houses, drifts had not yet formed.
The wind was too terrific; it 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
filled them with icy cold. There was
no help for it, no relief from it. They
had to bear it. They could only bend
their backs to it and keep on, trust
ing to the endurance of their horses.
The woman judged that it 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 15 miles in two hours under those
conditions. 1t was more than prob.
able, however. that the limited would
be greatly delayed by the storm, and
# they kept going steadily they would
be likely to catch it. At any rate
when they reached the station. they
would find food, fire and shelter.
If their horses did not give out II
ey were not turned adrift on foot

The Loneliness of Mr.. eormIy.


To his great surprise, George CORN
ly sometimes found himself feeling
lonely, and the oftener so as he grew
older. Every man who has a natural
liking for women,-and what true man
has not?-yet who has no intimate
friendships with or relations to the
other sex, is likely to find himself in
that state of mind sooner or later.
Gormly was sufficiently aged; he was
forty-four although he looked much
younger. He was sufficiently expe-
rienced; he had dealt with women for
a straight quarter of a century al
though he had neither loved nor mar
ried one. He was sufficiently self re-
liant; he had built up by his own un-
aided efforts the greatest retail mer-
chandise business Of his day and gen.

in the storm and snow, and left to plOd
on until they fell and slept, and froze,
and died, they would perhaps get
away.
More experienced than the boy, all
these possibilities were present to her.
She did not pray, she could ask moth
ing of God; but she went warily and
carefully, helping the horse where she
could
AS for her companion, he did not
give these matters very much consid-
Grafton. He kept going toward the
south to the railroad station because
that was the only thing to be done.
Another, however, rode with him, if
not with her. Before his eyes was
ever present that CORY, grizzly spec
.acle of human form, the red blood
yelling from it's breast, redder still
from the white snow with which he
was surrounded. That awful figure
beckoned him on. He was younger,
finer, better, than she. He was more
fool than knave; she was all knave
Her thoughts went forward to what
was USlOI0 uSE UuI LIS WSuL JACK
ward to what was behind
After long time it seemed to them
that the fierceness of the storm was
somewhat abated. The wind was GER
tainly falling; but the drifts were
| steadily rising, and their progress
was more difficult every moment for
that cause. Their very souls were
numb with the awful cold. Still they
went forward, slower now, and more
slowly ever.
How far they had come, what time
| it was, where they were, neither he
| nor she could tell. 1t seemed to them
both that they had been hours on the
way. The woman was sure that they
must have compassed the greater part
of the journey, when her horse sud
denly stumbled and fell. Her bron-
cho's matchless endurance had at last
been exhausted by the terrible strug-
gle of their journey. He lay dying
where he fell, and nothing she could
do could get him up again. The boy
had stopped, of course, when her horse
had fallen. He had dismounted and
helped her to rise. He had assisted
her vain efforts to get her own played
out horse on it's feet The two now
stood staring at each other in dismay
You must take my horse" said the
boy at last.
The woman nodded. With his as
sistance she climbed slowly and pain,
fully into the saddle, took the reins
from the boy, and started on. Her
companion caught hold of the stirruI
leather and staggered forward by her
side. The going was now infinitely
harder for the remaining horse. The
woman Immediately realized that with
this almost dead weight plunging
through the deep drifts and dragging
heavily at the stirrup leather, the
| remaining bronco would soon be ex
hausted.
She had meant to play fair with
him but it could not be. And so fol
a long time the trio plodded on in this
way, the woman nerving herself to g
frightful action as best she could. She
hesitated to do it. She was reluc
tant-
But no horse that ever lived could
stand such a strain. She knew that Il
would be a matter of minutes now

Eat for the Fun of Ii.

According to Mr.. Herbert w. Fisher
