WAITING FOR HILDA
BY NORMAN H. cROWELL.

1t was evening on the Dakota prai
RE. Before the door of his sod shanty
q young man whose faxen hair pro.
claimed his Scandinavian lineage
stood, engaged in the engrossing duty
of feeding his shepherd dog. AS he
tossed the crumbs the dog would leap
nimbly upward and catch them neatly
rs they descended.
All, jim he calculated, presently,
"a week-maybe two weeks and she
ban here"
He gazed straight at the dying sun
and murmured the word "Hilda" in a
subdued voice. Then he walked to a
bench beside the door and sat down,
folding his strong young arms across
his breast, while the dog Grept up
and buried his nose in his masters
lap.
1t had been year Of reverses with
Lundqust. He had labored hard-no
man could put more honest toll into
the struggle with penurious soil
than he-and it seemed now as if all
was for naught Beginning with a
wet. disheartening spring. the season
had crept on, piling up against him its
mute but potent protests in a manner
that had discouraged many a less
hardy man. His best horse, becoming
entangled in the only wire fence
within 20 miles, had been sacrificed
to the casualty list OF a frontiers
mans life. By mortgaging his crop
he had secured another.
He was now facing his annual inter-
est payment, while the storekeeper in
the town a dozen miles away was
growing suspicious and was demand
ing payment of an open account. His
crops-only punk stacks Of discolored
wheat straw standing Imply awaiting
the threshing
But Lundquist was forgetting all
this as he sat on the bench before his
abode. Hilda was coming to him.
Hilda, from far-off Norway. Six years
1t had been since he had gazed into
her eyes-six years since he had
stolen aside in the crush at the en-
barking and kissed her many times on
her willing lips. The thought OF it
brought smile to LundQuists sun
tanned visage. The dog saw 1t and
wagged his tail in recognition of his
masters mood.
Two years ago she would have
come. but he set his teeth firmly and
sent her that letter which had wrung
his heart Wait" he had told her.
Wait till Fortune smiles more bright.

was bitter thing to do, but Lund.

from coming by the sickness of her
mother Nothing, not even poor

CAUSED TOO MUCH TROUBLE
Difficulty That Lay In the Way o.
Pope's Following Simple
Medical Advice.

Pope Plus x was q man Of simple
habits. One morning his doctor re-
minded him that considerable
amount of pure water as a drink was
beneficial, and the pope there and
then rang a bell and asked the prelate
in attendance to bring him glass OF

jim close at his heels, with his tail
down dejectedly.
An hour later the two emerged
from the door of the bank. Aimlessly
they strolled along the dismal street
until they came to where the team
was tied A mile out on the open
prairie the youth turned in his seat
and shook his clenched fist at the re-
ceding town. Once he glanced upward
then settled firmly in a straight
stare ahead, and so remained till the
cabin was reached.
That night he did not go to bed.
He sat and walked and babbled to the
dog till daybreak. In the morning
he eyed the rising sun with bloodshot
eyes. His body quivered with the
protests Of abused nerves and his
cheeks were sunken from lack of nour-
ishment

terly.
That day he visited the bank three
different times. The last time he
stood in the doorway and told the
banker a few of the hot things that
ranked in his brain. Old Jim stood
aside and snarled.
He visited the store and asked for
food When the storekeeper suggest
ed pay, he cursed beneath his breath
and left the place. He went to the
post Office with letter he had writ
ten to Hilda-a letter filed with
scalding tears and heart burnfngs.
The postmaster spoke to him, asking
if he was sending the money on to
the girl Lundquist clenched his
teeth tightly and rushed out to con-
ceal the tears that stole unrepressed
down his cheeks.
Two days later letter came. It
was cold and formal. Hilda had re-
turned to Norway. Lundquist STUN
bled awkwardly when Banks read the
letter and thrust his elbow through a
pane of glass. Banks, glancing up,
made light Of the accident.

remarked. III fix that"
"Ay get 70 glass;" said LundQuist,
hoarsely, as he went out.
At the hardware store he brought
forth his paltry store Of silver-four
dollars In all. The glass took one Of
these. Inside the case something
caught his eye-something shiny and
cold. He inquired its prlce.
"Two-flfty.' said the man. and it's
a 49,"
Lundquist slid the money hesitat-
ingly across the glass counter and
took the object gingerly in his hand.
Flushed and trembling he started for
the door,
Wait! You want you'll need

as he slid out some little boxes.

1t was late that night when the two
reached the lone cabin on the prai-

In a little box under his bunk be
had every letter that Hilda had writ
ten him They were good reading
during the long winter evenings.
The steamer agent had said that
she would reach Quebec on the 14th
1t was now the 9th.
On the 10Th Lundquist went to
town He walked up and down the
single street, keeping close watch on
the depot until the afternoon train
had passed. He rode the IL miles
home in moody silence.
The following day he went to town
again and in the evening, when he
went back toward home, his face was
haggard and wan from his days vigil
He was getting worried. What could
be keeping Hilda? Had something
gone wrong? Lundquist slept little
that night.

months, barked piteously, and his
master starting guiltily, made haste

The next day he had stalked by the
post Office five times in sulky silence
when he heard some one call his
name. He paused and entered.
Banks, the postmaster, had letter
in his hand.

Came this morning"
Lundquist took it in his hand and
edged away to corner OF the little

bent over it and wrinkled his brow

postmaster, expectantly.

Lundquist, perplexedly.
The letter was a cruel stab to the
eager listener. Hilda was detained in
Quebec. The medical authorities had
examined her and found her suffering
with an affection Of the eyes that
would prohibit her entry unless
speedily cured. To do this a suffi-
cient amount of money must be ad-
vanced by Lundquist to insure pay

himself together with jerk.

Instead of the usual automobile day
the Village Improvement society have
this year made arrang ements to have a
full week, commencing Monday morn
ing, July 81, and continuing every day
that the weather permits until Satur-
day night. Aug l. By this method the
society expect to be able to accommo-
date many more patrons. and to make
it more convenient for it's patrons as it
is often. inconvenient to plan trip on
some particular date. The V. |. S.,
have made arrangements with several
automobiles to take the different trips,
and by calling personally on Mrs. w.
w. Reirden or calling her by telephone
you can arrange for trip on any of
the several days and to almost any
point. If the owners and drivers of
cars are willing to so literally contrib
ute to this worthy cause, can we not
find some good reason for taking one OR
more of these excellent opportunities
offered US, and not only have a most
enjoyable outing but help the society
who have done much to improve and
beautify our village. Large posters
will be found in evidence in the differ
ent stores with schedule OF prices to
