A LONE HAND. ‘-
“Those who blame their failures to
Providence or Fate, or whatever they
may chose to call their Creator—those
individuals, who, are idlers or cow-
ards.”
The speaker was one of a group of
men lounging on the dock of the Great
Northwest, which a few hours earlier
had, commenced her slow, upward pro-
gress against the mighty current of the
Yellowstone. That he did not belong
to either of the classes he condemned
was written in the mingled resolution
and complacency of his sunbu1ned vis-
age, while his right to “teach as one
having autho1ity” was established
among his hearers by their knowledge
that he was a prosperous 1anchman of
———— County, Montana, retu1n1ng from
an Eastern .visit.
“Weall get our chances.” he resum-
ed, after a puff or two at his pipe and
apleased glance around the observant
circle. “It is our fault, not the Lord’ 5,
if we ‘don’t keep hold of them. And
I’ll tell youta story with that text, if
you like—a story which shall be new,
though the text is a chestnut.”
There was an acquiescent laugh, a
drawing nearer of camp stools, and the
ranchman continued,—
“It happened some years since, be-
fore the Northern Pacific had crossed
the Rockies. The terminus that sea-
son was at Zenith City, and the class
of travel ‘which demands luxury did
not come beyond Bismarck, where the
company economically shunted the
Pullmans before rushing away from
civilization. So the train which start-
ed from Zenith City one November
morning was made up as usual, of a
passenger car, a box car, and the loco-
motive, while its quite unusual number
of travelers was composed entirely of
a party of twenty cowboys. They had
just been paid off for their summer’s
work, and had begun their holiday on
the previous evening with an all-night
spree. But amusement in a prairie
town was not varied enough for them.
They meant to go East for such a
length of time as their cash would en-
dure; and though it .was burning in
their pockets to get spent, they were
resolved not to waste any of it in rail-
road tickets—a resolve of which they
informed the conductor when he came
to them about half an hour out from
Zenith City.
“He was a young fellow, as were the
cowboys. Everything was young in
Montana in those days, except the sky
and prairie, which are eternal, or seem
to be. This chap Lloyd, however, was
slim-built, with a color that changed
like a girl’s—threatened with con-
sumption then, though he had got the
better of that, as of other disadvan-
tages —and very queer he looked
among the big brown, brawny reughs,
, who left their card playing to swarm
into the aisle, or lean over the seats
nearest those of their comrades who
had answered to his request for tick-
ets that they had none.
“The company will take money for
fares also,’ Lloyd said, without glanc-
ing at the gathering crowd.
“ ‘When the company can get it,
somebody chuckled.
“ ‘Invariably,’ Lloyd asserted; ‘cr
the passenger who refuses to pay is
put off the train.’
“ ‘You don't say so? Suppose you
try. Here are Tim and me to begin
with! And the whole carful after us,
for not one cent of our earnings is go-
ing into the money bags of your —-——
swindling company!’
“ ‘That’s so!’
“ ‘You bet!’
“ ‘Not a chip!‘
“Lloyd listened to these expressions
of general determination until they
came to an end. Then he was consid-
erably paler, but his eyes had grown
uncommonly bright.
” ‘You will hurt me much more firm
the company/he said when heco1lli
get a hearing. ‘1 shall lose my, place
if I don’t collect your fares—J
“ ‘That is your lookout.’
“ ‘We ain’t going to tell your low; 1:
you keep quiet.’
“Lloyd’s shining eyes turned 1? .3111
one to another of the twenty tall 131
lows lounging around him, so sure oi"
the trumps they held that they were
in no hurry to; finish the game.
"There is a greed for- tormenting
animals which disfigures most human
nature, from Spanish bull—baitcrs to
those rat—fighters down cast. We are
not without a touch of'it here in Mon-
tana. And that the tormented animal
belongs to our own kind adds a keener
relish to the fun, when the party doing
the tormenting has swa110Wed as much
bad whiskey as the cowboys had that
morning. So these bright eyes of
Lloyd’s didn’t met‘any more encour-'
agement than did Father Noah’s the
first time he took a squint at the Flood
through one of the portholes of the
ark. .
“Without .speaking, he stood, very
pale and still, for a moment, looking at
the open pocketbook in his hand, while
they all stared at him, grinning and
jeering. There was a firmness about
his mouth'that didn’t suggest uncon-
ditional surrender to two or three who
watched him closely, and who were
much surprimd when presently the
color rushed back over his face, and
shutting his book with a snap, he went
out of the car.
“He was followed by a roar of laugh-
ter and facetious yells. ,
“ ‘Call again, young fellow!‘ $33,
" ‘Always glad to s'ee you!”
“Then the crowd returned to poker
playing, some of them just a bit dis—
.concerted with their victory, and mut-
tering that twenty to one was too big
odds for any chap, ’specially a slim
little chap, with fists which couldn’t
their own against a ‘kid.’ ”
The story—teller interrupted , himself
with a chuckle.
“They counted lists, you see, and
forgot to take stock of brains. How
should they guess that the man they
had put to proof carried more brains
inside his handsome head than fur-
nished the twenty of them, though
they were not fools, either?
“A quarter of an hour later the train
stopped, not gradually, but with a jerk
which sent poker chips flying. There
wasa cowboy half out of eyery win-
dow in the car quicker than you could
have cocked a pistol, for stations were
seldom within a hundred miles of ,each
other in those days, and they all knew
that this stOp wasn’t regular.
“Behind and before them the track
stretched as far as they could see,
while on both sides the prairie spread
away to the low edge of the gray sky,
which wasn’t any grayer than itself,
lonely as the ocean, and infinitely more
silent. Not a sound or a movement,
except that of the locomotive whisking
off at full speed.
“In came the cowboys’ heads with a
volley of hard swearing and there
stood, Lloyd in the doorway, cooler
than I am this instant, but holding a
six-shooter.
“ ‘You have just five minutes to
make 11p your minds,’ the said, and his
voice was as steady as his eyes. ‘Will
you pay your fares like honest men, or
get out and tramp to the next settle-
ment, forty miles from here?
gineer is waiting within hail of us,
and he will not come back unless I give
him the order. on, you may murder
me if you choose!’ he cried, stepping
further into the car, as half a dozen
pistols were grabbed. ‘But I can shoot
as straight as any of 'you—I don’t
mean to die alone—and at the sound
of the first shot our engineer will be
off to Bismarck.’
“For one long moment the prairie
wasn’t stiller than that carload of ex-
cited humanity. If Lloyd had even
blinked! Thank God, he didn’t.
Then a big” fe110w broke into a laugh,
took his pistols from his belt, and
laying them on a seat, walked toward
Lloyd, holding out his empty fists.
“ ‘Shake!’ he said. ‘That was alone
hand! 'And pluckily you played it!’
“From Lloyd’s side he faced the ldt
of them.
“ ‘Boys,’ he cried, ‘a chap who can
look straight down the muzzles of so
many cowboy shooters for the sake of
doing his duty, that chap will make
the kind of partner most of 11s want
to yoke with. if he will let 11s, eh?’
“Lloyd smiled, slipped his pistol into
his pocket, and gave his slim fingers
to the other‘s brawny grasp. .
“Well, sir, all crowds are a-ike,
whether cattle or men—they follow a
leader. There was a cheering present-
ly which astonished the waiting en-
gineer. Then the fares were paid as
fast as Lloyd could take them. And
that is the end of this story.”
The lanchman paused and began
carefully to light his pipe, which had
died out.
“Wheie is Lloyd now? In Helena,
State Senator from —— County,” he
answered an eager questioner, when
the pipe was again in working order.
“Where is the fellow that stood by
him?” he laughed jovially. “Neither
he nor his whereabouts point the mor-
al of this tale. But, when Lloyd runs
for governor, as he will next year, he
shall have my vote, for he runs to win
in any race he enters. And that is my
creed of life, boys—‘the Lord helps
those who helps themselves’———I’ve seen
it, and I believe it!”
Tliey Keep Pets. , if" '
Everyone knows that certain species
of ants keep “aphides,” just as men do
mglch cows, to supply them with the
sweet liquid they secrete. Therefore
it is not so astonishing to find that
"these marvellous little insects keep
pets which, although apparently of no
direct benefit, seem to amuse them,
These pets are generally beetles and
crickets, which live on the best of
terms with their hosts, playing round
the nests in fine weather and retiring
into them on wet days. The ants have
actually been watched carrying these
pets of theirs from place to place dur-
ing their migrations!

pretty gown of bluet mousseline de

princess shape and very flowing, thus
making it very full about the hem, and
hung in folds over the pale blue silk
lining. It may be trimmed with black
lace applique both on the waist and
the skirt. A black sash and collar
with a blue ruehing of the mousseline

are made up over striped silk of two
tones, which gives a unique effect to
the transparent material. These grena-
dines and the fine canvases, too, are
finished with many little ruffles, edged
with narrow satin ribbon or pencil
velvet. One black flowered grenadine
is made up over green and white
striped glace silk, with many little
ruffles upon the grenadine skirt, each
edged with narrow black satin rib-
bons. The belt and broad sash were
of black satin, while the neck of the

the Tyrolean singers who come to this'
country, their voices losing the pe-
culiar yOdling quality when they have,
been here a year. The native canary
is hardier than the imported ones, and,
with proper training, is every bit as
good a singer.
Before they
are kept in separate cages in the music
room, carefully fed and made to listen
to the music of the singers and the
machine used in training their voices
In this\ way the hen is enabled to
transmit the best musical quality to its
offspring. The music room is a large
one with a south exposure, and is kept
with the same scrupulous neatness as
the breeding room.
this room is the bird organ, and with
it the little birds are given their vocal
training.
When the machine is started the
notes emitted are wonderfully like the
song of the untutored canary. These
notes are known to bird trainers by
the term pfeiffen. Gradually the
whistle strikes on to a difzerent line.
It is an improvement over the pfeiffen,
and is called klingel rolle. A higher
step still is called the klingel, and a
still higher step hohl klingel. Lastly:
comes what is called hohl rollen, and
a bird whose voice has been developed
up to that point is worth $50 in the
market any day.——Milwaukee Sentinel,
THE SEQUENCE CAR.
Considered Good Lilok to Find the One.
Hearing 11 Certain Number.
Freight car numbered 12,345 of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad passed through Darlington,
Pawtucket, one day recently on the
branch railroad. What that car con-
tained, where it was from, or where it
was going is of no consequence. The
number of the car, 12,345, is all that
is of special interest.
This number on freight cars is the
fortunate number to find. A few years
ago, and perhaps until to-day, com-
mercial travellers and whoever else
was travelling much, or was much
about the railroad, were all the time
looking for this magic number, in the
belief that to see it was a good omen,
and wonderful were the stories told
of the good fortune which fell to those
who were so happy as to see it. It is
1 simple‘matter, and yet it is not often
1 car with this number comes into
view. It is very likely that had any
)ther particular number been chosen
it would have been as difficult to find
it.
A gentleman who saw this car the
>thcr day had been looking for it con-
inually for more than half a score of
,ears, and during that time had travel-
led thousands of miles but had never

The wonderful"development of cer-

who have lost the use of some of their-
natural functions, or of others whose
faculties hax e not been fully developed,

,to do so.
I When this woman was a child her
parents lived far from schools, so she
had no chance then to learn to read Or

In the old civic docket recently
brought to light in the courthbuse at
Greensbuig Pena, there are several
cases recorded against George Wash~
ington. in the course of the year 1787
three claims were entered against him
to compel him to pay taxes. The hu-
morors clerk of that time has written
the following under the claims:
“George Washington, Esq., appeareth
not to like taxes." ‘ ,1
