of certain pockmarked Cree guide"
1t was the Cree who had leaped on him
from the roof of the hut while the Sarcees
rushed him. 1t was the Cree who had
suggested his suspension on the sled, and
it was the Cree who had tied his feet.
"l've had my neckful of fur-trading and
then some," he wound up impressivey.
But there's just two pets hunger for
that brown VOLTS and that brown ptted
Crec's. They'd match up great.
"Now. that's vera peculiar, said the
staring madman across the fire. "Thats

He rose and drew himself erect.
"Now WHAT" Utah laughed, unaware
that all the offended law was upon him.
"I'm Constable William Goose of M
Division, and l arrest we in the name
"And noap WHAT" Utah repeated, hut
with fading mirth.
Constable William Goose was bringing
a pair of handouts out of his inner pocket.
Under his opened park was the unmis-
taxable red serge of the r. N. w. NJ. p.
The sight of it brought Utah to his feet.
"In the Kings name, I'm coming to
fetch ye!'
Utah's hand slipped to his gun, then
slipped away again; for the blind man
was coming for him, gunless, with the
handouts open--coming straight through
the fire, scattering it as he felt his way.
If one man was blind and daft, the
other was weak from hunger and uncer-
tain ankles. The two furry forms in the
little igloo tumbled and lashed about like
two bears in pit until Utah worked his
right arm out of the Scots clutches. In
that moment Constable Goose snapped
the handcuff on his other wrist

cause I'm blind-but ye cant say didn't
arrest ye!' ..-..r .-l.r.--
The touch of the steel was as the touch
of magic, and To-, there were two madmen
in the igloo. Utah's hand with the re-
volyer in it rose with a swiftness that
swung wide of Constable Goose's wild
passes. For an instant the muzzle aimed
at vantage point behind the blind eyes,
then it turned and the butt came upper

BILE Goose relaxed his hold and found
dreamless rest on the ground.
Because wouldn't waste my last shot
on you-that's why!' Utah declared.
He strove severely with the offense on
his wrist, and presently removed it and

hurt, but he ignored them, save for curse
or two, as he gathered up whatever the
Sarcees had left that was worth taking.
He clambered out, and essayed to rehar-
ness the Scots team with the addition OF
his own dogs. This proved to be no sim
pie task Both leaders were determined
to have leaders place or eat each other In
battling for it. Finally he was obliged to
leave his own leader free. When he en-
tered the igloo again to get the supplies,
the figure on the ground was stirring.
Arrest me, would you, you blind oil
bean? Mel" Utah muttered. The discarded
handcuff caught his eye, and caused
malicious glee to twinkle there. He joined
the Scots hands and fastened the hand
cuffs on them.

port Constable Goose sighed and
sank back.

He climbed out, flung himself on the
sled, and lashed the dogs out upon the
trackless expanse, southwark. Coming on
the big brown wolf and his lead dog half a
mile from camp, Utah whipped out his
gun and fired his last shot. The wolf lOped
away across the snow; but the dog did
not move. Utah replaced his empty
weapon with the official Colts AS of
which he had relieved Constable Goose.
Since Utah was free and on his way, he
should have been happy. Recurrent rum
bles of profanity indicated that he was
not. He raised the lash to urge the team
into their swiftest pace, but dropped it
and brought them to standstill instead.
"What did he come at me for? He
weren't so crazy he didn't know l could
fix him.
The regularity and peevishness with
which his mind reverted to this fact
proved it to be the rub. The deranged
Celt, walking blind-eyed through the fire

personal gain,--had given Utah a moral
Whit of brand of bravery new to him.
He did not grasp its motive. But the
picture of big brown wolf setting her
fangs in the singing throat of the blind
man gave him no satisfaction.

1T was the beginning of the fourth week
out that the blizzard struck -
Through the permeating cold and the
snow-depths, the sled, dragged by the re-
duced dog team, kept on. The huskies
were not making forty miles day now.

could do with lusty mailman strapped

A Message to the Readers
of This Magazine

could wish for you one great gift, it
would be a knowledge of the rich treasure
of comradeship with God.
In that comradeship is the secret not
only of JOY and peace, but of efficiency In
that comradeship we find rest, not from our
work, but in our work. When Christ said,
"Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are
heavy laden, and will give you rest take NV
yoke upon you, and learn of Me-" He did not
invite us to lay aside our work He offers us
rest in our work; the invitation is to those
that are laboring and bearing burdens-the
promise is to teach them how so to labor
and how so to bear their burdens as not to be
wearled by them. 1t is not couch which He
offers us, but yoke; and yoke is an
instrument for the accomplishment of work.

required time and no small finesse to dis
entangle the dogs and readjust the outfit.
Utah took no more chances. Constable
Goose continued his journey bound from
ankles to shoulders.
At night Utah had his hands full. There
was camp to pitch, the dogs to be fed, as
long as food held out, fire to make, and
no easy task-supper (when there was
any to be forced down the warbler's

to bestow his maniac on. some white
mans post, where he could be nursed
back to sanity. To that end, he would
risk call anywhere except at Police
Station.
Utah had apportioned the supplies
on the policeman's sled with the wis
dom of an old desert wanderer, but by
the third week they were dependent on
game and his Workmanship.
For three days they had crawled ahead
foodless, and had lost the third dog, when
fate and shot were kind and Utah brought
down a rabbit. He had to fight the dogs
for it, but the latter had the handicap of
the harness and Utah had the advantage
of the whip and the butt end of the rife

"Pard, ii sure put welcome on lDe map

The wild, red-streaked blue eyes stared
at him blindly from across the flame.

Ye've no got the swing O it. Nay, lass;
I'll sing it for ye. Hark, now.

That's newly sprung in June.
My love is like melody
That's sweetly sung, in tune;

So deep in love am l,
That will love thee still, my dear,
Till a the seas gang dry.
What do you know about that?' Utah
queried aloud between mouthfuls.
aTell me, SIR the minstrel said, leaning
forward and warming his palms at the
flame as any sane man might. "Have ye
ever seen wumman hangit tae pole,

"Hinky-dam it, mol" answered Utah.

After silence the other remarked:

"Sure, pard." Utah chuckled. But
when night came and he gave the re-

and knelt in the snow.

THE INSIDE INN.

A farmer stopped at the Inside Inn,
With his mother-in-iaw and all his
kin;
His mother-in-law she was quick to
find fault,
Things were either too fresh or else
were too salt.
She tasted the roast; it was done to
a turn,
And the pies nice and brown, but
never a burn;
She looked at the table so spotlessly
clean,
She looked and she looked, not a spot
to be seen. .~
She glanced at the landlord from out
of one eye,
But even with him she found moth
ing awry.
For once the old lady was perfectly
dumb,
No fault could she find; she looked
pretty glum,
And the farmer said to his neighbor
that night,
by golly. for once she found every
thing right"
Written by friend of the Inside
Inn.

STATE NEWS.

Flandreau-One of the largest
sales of thoroughbred cattle held in
the state the past year was the Here
ford cattle sale conducted by G. E.
Pettigrew a Son at Flandreau last
Friday afternoon. Sixty-two head
OF young stock were disposed of in
less than two hours at a total of
S21. 500. or an average of 1851. 81
per head. Some of the young heifers
brought as high as $3.50 and a bull
or two sold around $500 apiece.
Humboldt-Roy Even, the young
son of farmer living near here,
may lose one of his arms, as the re-
suit of hunting accident. With
Louis Belk, comrade, he was in a
boat on Lost lake when young Belk's
gun was accidentally discharged, the
full charge entering Even's arm near
the shoulder.
Vermillion-In addition to courses
already announced by the University
of South Dakota. for students who
enter in November there will be
given these courses in mathematics !:
College algebra. plane trigonometry
and analytic geometry. These
courses are for students who have
been engaged in farm work and
whose entrance has been delayed on
that account.
Pierre--On inquiry as to whether
measure or weight shall govern in
the selling of apples in this state. the
attorney general holds that weight is
required, regardless of measure.
The question was raised on the prop
osition that the apples raised in the
state, would not weigh 48 pounds to
the standard measured bushel. and
the question as to what should rule
was brought up with the finding that
As pounds is the standard. and not a
measured bushel.
Centerville-The selling of poison
beans to Lyman Barton and p. j.
Maloney, who rented seven acres for
the crop in the Centerville territory,
has resulted in the commencement OF
a damage suit by the young men
against the parties who sold them
the beans for seed. The two men
used the beans for seeding the seven
acres and performed a great deal OF
work on the ground, only to discover
when the beans had grown that they
were of the Burmah variety, which
in addition to containing poison
would not mature in this climate. A
sample was sent to the state chemists
at vermillion and Brookings. and
both pronounced them poisonous.
The action for damages will be tried
in the circuit court.
