CHAPTER XIV.
At the staff Officers BAN.

At the staff Officers Ball.,
The young officer glanced up LASTLY
ct sound of approaching footsteps, and
rose to his feet to permit Of my pas
sage. He wore the full dress uni
form Of an artilleryman, and his evi-
dent surprise at my presence made
me realize the necessity Of addressing
| him.
Lieutenant" ! asked courteously,
resting one hand easily upon the
balustrade, could you inform me if
General Sheridan and those members
Of the staff who accompanied him
down the lines this afternoon have
yet returned?"
They have not, sir"
"Ah, I was in hopes they might
have arrived by this time"
/ bowed to them both, and passed
slowly down the wide stairway, sew
eral couples rising as l drew near
to permit Of my passage. The lower
hall was very comfortably filled with
figures moving her. and there In con-
verse, or occupying seats pressed
close against the walls The greater
portion were attired In uniforms Of
the various branches of service, yet
l observed not a few civilian suits,
and considerable number Of women.
some wearing the neat dress of the
army nurse, others much more elabo-
rately attired-daughters Of the neigh
borhood, probably, with a sprinkling
Of wives and sisters of the soldiery.
Guards, leaning upon their muskets,
stood in statuesque poses on either
side Of the main entrance, while the
wide archway, draped with flags, open
ing into the ballroom, revealed an
inspiring glimpse Of swiftly revolving
figures In gay uniforms and flashing
skirts. Over all floated 1.-The low,
swinging music of the band.
A fat, good-natured- looking man Of
forty, an infantry major, but wearing
staff decorations, and evidently Of
ficiating in the capacity of floor-man-
ager, after whispering a word In the
ear of another Of the sane kind beside
the ballroom door, hastily pushed his
way through the laughing throng di-
rectly toward me.
"Good-evening, Colonel" he said,
bowling deeply. Your face is not
familiar to me, but you will permit me
to introduce myself Monsoon,

ance to keep the legislature busy for

Legislative Appropriations
have already said that it is not
my itention to recommend the ap-
preparation, of all the revenue pro-
vided by the state. Indeed, think
this legislature ought to appropriate
only 80 much as is absolutely neces-
sary for the running of the state and
the maintenance of our state institu-
tons. AS regards the state institu-
tions their reports will be on your
desks containing the Information of
their growth and development and
their necessities. Where the institu-
tons have buildings in course of con-
atruction, there should be. Of course.
appropriations for the completion and
equipment of such buildings, but out
side Of this, in my judgement the leg
islature should be very careful about
appropriating money for the con-
struction of now buildings. except in
case of the normal school at Minot.
The electors in the recent election
approved the amendment to the con-
stitutior providing normal school
at Minot. and by so doing have de-
cfded that such an institution is nee
essary at that place. II is our duty
to accept their verdict and make a
provision for such institution consist
ent with the requirements of the
