much experience. He carried his lady
safely, and he carried her willingly.
Even her impotence could hnd no
fault with the manner In which he

carried his head high and perked his
ears knowingly forward when the cor

around a sharp bend. He splashed
both front feet into the creek just be-
fore the cabin and stopped to drink,
while Billy Louise stared at the silent
place.
BY the tracks along the creek trail
she knew that Ward had come home,
and she urged Blue across the ford and
up the bank to the cabin. She slid OF

Ward had eaten a hurried meal and
had not taken time to clear away the
litter. Billy Louise ate what was lett,
and mechanically she washed the
dishes and made everything neat be-

She had thought that Ward was out
somewhere about the place and would
return very soon probably. Blue she
had left standing in plain sight before
the cabin 50 that Ward could see him
and know she was there, a fact which
she regretted.
While she was washing dishes and
weeping she had been trying to think
of some excuse for Ter presence there.
1t was going to be awkward, her com

Billy Louise began to wish she had
not come. She began to feel quite GER

disguised when he found her there and
would look at her with that faint curl
of the lip and that fainter lift Of the
nostril above 1t, which made her 60

She had seen him look that way once
or twice, and IN spite Of herself she be-
gan to picture his face with that ex-

Iowa Boy Storm Victim.

Storm Lake, Jan. 14.-Old settlers in
Buena Vista county as we'll as in the
middle section will wildly recall ter
rible blizzard which occurred on Jan.
u, 1883. resulting in the death Of more
than a hundred persons in the Dako-
tas Minnesota and Iowa.
In Iowa five lives we're lost and one
of the number was a Buena Vista
county lad. He was John Olney, son
| of Richard Alney of near Marathon
and a brother Of Norris J. Olney, for
merly of this city In company with
his cousin, Bernard Bell, he attended
prayer meeting the night Of the bliz-
zard and while on his way home the
fiendish storm caught them. The boys
were riding horse back and became
separated. Bernard Bell reached home
in safety. but his companion dazed by
the storm, lost his way. The next
morning his horse was found more
dead than alive and the boy frozen in
the snow with his head covered with
his overcoat.
The storm struck this section about
8 o'clock in the evening. and most peo-
pie were safe in their homes. Many old
| timers recall the fierce time they had
IN reaching home. Much stock per-
ished in this locality. The storm lasted
but a night and a part Of the next
day.
There has been no blizzard before or
since within the memory OF the oldest
| inhabitant which compares with the
| blizzard Of 1888.
