THE EVENING STORY

Sieder looked With startled eyes at
the creature coming toward him and
called to his wife. She quickly came
out from the tent and also stared:
In the six months Seidcr had been
with his sheep on the western slope
of the big hills he had seen many odd
sights. but the thing coming toward
them outdid them ali. 1t vas a man
without doubt, but SO gaunt. so hairy.
so CHASTITY, it seemed to have lost all
semblance 10 a human being.
His wife drew closer to Solder with
a little cry. She vas roughing it With
her husband. and had become Injured
to privations and hardships. but she
still had the woman's desire for pro-
lection. He soothed her and went
forward.
by Jove. he's crazy" Seider NUT
tered as the man came nearer.
So it proved when Solder had aided
the faltering steps of the stranger to-
ward the tent. With Eyes fixed upon
the ground he kept muttering some
thing that began with the words. Its

gihle.
He's a prospector. girl. and out OF
his head. and starving. too. I guess.

I'll see if I can get it into him." Solder
said.
With a fearful glance his wife went

afterward slept like a child.
He's way of the handle. Wonder
What could have happened to him?"
Seider said. as they stood Watching
him. "He was a fine looking chap
once: there's no doubt about that.
Probably he went the limit without
food or water and caved in"
What in the world will We do with
him." the wife queried.

has been Of great economic
value to the city. Because Of the need
for permanent quarters the great au-
ditorium was built. and the Oratorio
society is thus directly responsible for
the fact that Grand Forks has a build
ing. we'll constructed, we'll lighted and
ventilated. properly heated. ohve-
niently arranged, and with splendid
acoustic properties, in which, on a few
hours notice, any gathering in the
state can be properly housed. That
building has been tho scene of con-
rentions. mass meetings. political and
otherwise. winter fairs. stock breeding
classes. big dinners. great social gath
erings. and a whole list of functions
not at all related to the subject of mu.
sic. but made possible because the mu.
steal tastes of the city demanded a
place where they could find proper
and cultivation.
The Oratorio society has proven its
worth to the city. 1t has cost some
money, as almost everything worth
while does. But it has been worth
every dollar that it has cost. and it's
has just we'll begun. The
city cannot afford to lag in its sup.
port Of this enterprise. The good that
has been done in the past can be re-
many fold in the future. The
institution needs and merits the hearty
and loyal support of the public.

THE oRAToRIo SOCIETY.

The members Of the Commercial
club were entertained at the dinner
yesterday evening with a splendid con.
cert by the IAmpert orchestra, which,
as 10 the custom Of that organization,
discoursed good music with admirable
effect. Before the musical part Of the
program was begun several members
spoke on the Oratorio society and
what It has NEAR to the city of Grand
Forks. Tho benefits which have come
to tho city from the existance Of this
society are many and very real. Start
ing as an outgrowth OF the Wesley
college conservatory Of music the So
ciety was organized to meet certain
needs which could be met in this man
ner better than in any other. Its first
activity was the rendition of standard
music such ~ THE Messiah" which
was given to the accompaniment of
the great Minneapolis Symphony or
chestra. and at the great gatherings at
which these were given there were al
so given splendid orchestra concerts
and concerto by great soloists. The or
ganizatton has kept in touch with the
general musical work of the city and
its influence has been felt in the slim
ulation of musical interest, and the
elevation of the musical tone Of the
city. The various schools of music
have had their work aided and i'm.
proved by this influence, and the city
has come to be known as a musical
center of importance. OF curse not
all the musical work that has been
done has been done through this me-
dunn, but h society has been a sort
Of clearing house for all the musical
development Of the city, and its cxis-
te4ce has served to create and main
tain a greater and more intelligent in.
terest in music than would otherwise
have been possible. and it has set
standards which have been constantly
raised until 1t may fairly be said that
We have In the city a population that
understands and appreciates music
that IL really worth while.
From the practical standpoint the
work Of the society has been no less
important. The attraction Of crowds

Seider was puzzled. but he believed
in letting problems work themselves
out as far as they would.
The result was that the miner re-
NAMED with them. and soon even Mrs.
Seider grew tn like him in a way. He
was quiet. harmless. and he learned
to dc small things such as n boy would
do-work which required little reason
ing. He was never in the way. He
would sit for hours. muttering over
n over the sentence he never fin
ished. Seider had named him Billy
MaEee. and by that name he soon
learned to know he vas meant.
They sreculated much as to who he
was and where he had been, but such
speculation served only to pass the
time. They knew no more about him
after two weeks than they had known
the first day.
The work of handling the sheep set
tied into the regular routine. Seider
was beginning to smile at the thought
OF the fortune that uas smiling upon
him: his wife o to humming little
snatches Of song she had learned
when a. girl far across the sea in a
little village by the Rhine.
The only dark cloud that appeared
Was when Seider found a note stuck
in the flap Of his e n warning him
that he u keep his sheep on the
side hills. He knew the cattiemen
from below had placed it there. and
the sight Of 1t sobered him. 1t was
hard work to hold the sheep on the
side hills when below them for miles
stretched the rich grass of the prairie,
but he did his best.
One day. however. when a wrenched
knee kept him quiet in the tent, the
sheep got away from Billy Magee and
his wife and spread ver the grassy
plain beyond the slopes. The next day
his wife. white and stricken. came 70
him and. regardless Of the pain in his
knee. he started for the scene she had
described. Everywhere about him
sheep were dying. They were pois-
cned. An examination of the stream

Because of the failure of the state
legislature to appropriate $4,000 for
its maintenance 1t was expected that
the Arkansas National Guard would

time they have been executed. The
