From the Tribune:

From the Tribune:
A bad wind storm, the worse since
1898. struck Nolga Tuesday evening
shortly before eight o'clock. The wind
was accompanied by a very heavy
rain and some hail. Windows were
broken by the wind at several business
houses on Main street and a number
Of trees We're torn up by the roots or
split at the main branches. The
barn on the Santema farm was totally
destroyed. but fortunately there was
no live stock in it. One of HenIy
Robes barns was destroyed, but that
also contained no live stock. The
corn crib of the Farmers Shipping
Association, which was located just
north of where the Chautauqua tent
stood last week. was rolled over. and
if the ten had been there this week
it would likely have been entirely de-
stroyed. A number of windmills have
teen blown down. A large tree, which
measured three feet in diameter, that
wa slocated in George Williams yard
was torn up with the roots.
The main line of the Dakota Central
Telephone Company north of Volga
for nearly a mile was torn down, poles
and wires, and the railroad company
also suffered damage.

Mccready Pays The Debt.

For q long time after he had uttered
those words McCready sat In silence
beside the fire. Only for a moment or
two at a time did his eyes leave Ka-
Fan. After a little, when he was sure
that Thorpe and Isobel had retired for
the night, he went into his own ten
and returned with n flask OF whisky.
During the next half-hour he drank
frequently. Then he went over and
sat on the edge Of the sledge, just be-
yond the reach OF Kazan's chain.
"Got you, didn't II" he repeated, the
effect of the liquor beginning to show
In the glitter OF his eyes. wonder
who changed your name, Pedro. And
how did he come by your Ho, no, IL
you could only talk"
They heard Thorpe's voice inside the
tent. 1t was followed by n low, girlish
peal Of laughter, and McCready Jerked
himself erect. His face blazed sud
denly red and he rose to his feet,
dropping the flask In his coat pocket,
Walking around the fire, he tiptoed
cautiously to the shadow OF n tree
close To the tent and stood there for
many minutes listening. His eyes
burned with n fiery madness when he
returned to the sledge and Kazan. 1t
was midnight before he went into his
own tent.
In the warmth Of the fire KaZan's
eyes slowly closed. He slumbered un-
easily, and his brain was filled with
troubled pictures. At times he was
fighting, and his jaws snapped. At
~o4hers he was strnlning at the end Of
his chain. with McCready or his mis-
trass lust out of reach. And then the
picture changed. He was running at
the head OF n splendid team-six dogs
OF the Royal Northwest Mounted po-
lice-and his master was calling him
PEDRO! The scene shifted. They were
In camp. His master was young and
s~mooth-faced, and he helped from the
sledge another man whose hands were
fastened In front Of him by curious
black rings. Again II was later-and
he was lying before a great fire. His
master was sitting opposite him, with
his Lack to n tent, and as he looked,
there came out Of the tent the man
with the black rings-only now the
rings were gone and his hands were
free, and In one of them he carried n
heavy club. He heard the terrible
blow of the club as ii fell on his mas
ter's head-and the sound Of ii aroused
him from his restless sleep.
He sprang to his feet, his spine stiff
fleming and a snarl in his throat. The
fire had died down, and the camp
was in the darker gloom that precedes
dawn. Through that gloom Kazan
saw McCready. Again he was stand
Ing close to the tent of his mistress,
and he knew now hat this was the
man who had worn the black iron
rings, and that it was he who had
beaten him with whip and club for
many long days alter he had killed his
master. McCready heard the menace In
his throat and came back quickly to
the fire. He began to whistle and

6oubtedly the hit OF her career In
Rev York last season. The play was
launched In February, and ran until

As its name implies, the play is

are no battle scenes, and II deals
rather with the heroic part that

GAYETY.

Patrons OF the Gayety Theater will
have one OF the greatest treats OF
the season this week when Joe
Hurtig's Social Maids" open their
engagement tonight. The show is
new from beginning to end, with strIk-
ing scenery, gorgeous costumes and
ingenious and original electrical and
mechanical effects.
An excellent cast presents the
clever two-act musical revue, "The
Boys From Home" Starring in the
principal roles ar: George Stone and
Eta Pillard, two Of the cleverest eI-
ponents OF modern dancing on the
burlesque stage. in support OF these
stars are While Bsrrows, Marty Sea
mon, Sam Wright Teddy Dupont,
Jack Pillard and Jessie Hiatt and a
beauty chorus OF thirty girls. The
plot OF The Boys From Home" Is
just enough to lead the action
through a maze OF comedy, adven-
ture, music and dancing to a logical
denouement Much OF the comedy
element is found in the efforts Of
two drolI characters to dispose OF a
new device for the manufacture of
noodles.
Musical numbers include: There
