; from the Blizzard | By Edgar S. Bradley. (CopyrigLt, IMO, by th Author#’ tijudlcuU,) MRS. EUTHVEX, tall, brilliantly dark, with the breiath of the prai ries in her carriage, swept out of the dining-room, and her husband, George Buthven, and 1 turned to our coffee and ligars. “George, how did you gain that mag nificent woman for a wife?” Not at all discomposed at the broad ness of my compliment to his wife, George smilingly responded: “You remember the great blizzard which swept over the western prairie states, particularly Nebraska, during January of 1887? Yes? Well, it was from that blizzard that 1 was rescued by the most beautiful woman it has ever been the happy lot of man to pos sess. “I was at that time, as you know, embarking in the practice of law, and had, to use an old-time phrase, ‘arti cled’ myself to one of the most prom inent legal- firms in this city. 1 grew steadily in favor of my superiors, who are now my partners, so it happened that when mi occasion arose in an im portant land suit, requiring that a man be sent to tinsworth, Neb., to obtain necessary information from the rec ords, 1 was selected for the duty. “I reached Ainsworth without inci dent and spent a couple of days there examining the court records, until I discovered that one link of evidence was missing. 1 shortly learned that i could be replaced by certain affidavits which a banker at Atkinson. 35 miles down the road could give, if he shouic be so disposed. Unfortunately only one passenger a day was tliei running and I found that had just lefi and that no other train would start un till late in the night. That would be a slow freight, which would not get nit In Atkinson much before the passengei the next morning. So I concluded to drive the 55 miles. “Hurrying to the livery stable I in duced the proprietor to take me as fai as Long Pine, the mxt station, where I could uud did obtain a relay of bron chos and another driver to Bassett. There 1 obtained another relay and started f r Newport, the mxt stop, and by the tinu we reached there, the snow was falling quite fast, but sli'.l there was no indication of the horrible storm in which , so many lives were lost and in which the cattle ranches suffered ; most to bankruptcy by thou sands of head of cattle ht ing dest roytd As we proceeded, tie storm increased in virulence and I was glad, indeed, when 1 could toast my chilled feet at the blazing hearth in the small hotel the place afforded, w idle my driver was seeing about an exchange of horses. “The liveryman returned and in formed me that he had not been able to induce the local stable keeper to undertake a journey, even to the next town, Stuart, though he said, if the case was very urgent, he would let me have a team to drive through my self. provided 1 would assure him against loss. Unaccustomed as I was to western blizzards. I jumped at this chance, and quickly closed a deal with him. “He produced the scrawniest-look- Ing team of bronchos one ever saw, and hitched them to a ramshackle sort of slat-bottomed buckboard buggy and bid me godspeed with an expression on his face clearly show ing he never again expected to see either his team or myself alive. As to the team, he never did see it, as both the animals gave up the ghost— but I am anticipating. "By this time the storm had as sumed terrific proportions. The snow, which had been falling softly and laz ily, now pelted down in solid masses, mixed with flakes of ice, cutting witn biting force against my face, while the soughing of the wind had risen to shrieks and howls and came with a force that at times seemed powerful enough to lift bronchos, buggy and driver into the next county. My course lay along the yailroad track. There was no road worthy of the name to follow, as the level character of the country and entire absence of fences permitted one taking a‘straight shoot’ Tom one point to another, with only the possibility of meeting with some small slough that would re quire a little careful driving to cross. “Driving along with my head down wards to shelter ray face from the pelting sleet and ice, 1 quite forgot to look for ray landmarks, the telegraph poles, but a more ugly blast than any I had experienced caused me to take a quick glance about over my muffler. Instantly I awoke Ho my danger. The telegraph poles had disappeared! I had turned from my road and was driving across the wild, desolate, unin habited prairies, on which a house was not to he met for miles. “The storm now swirled and pound ed and roared with ferocious power about me. Already I was passing through drifts so deep as to compel my small bronchos to fug and snort in the effort required to puil the buggy through them. Heavy darkness was rapidly taking the place of the gray ish light, the dull, whirling snowbanks of clouds lowering and plunging about until it seemed that they and the masses of snow' and sleet beating against me were one. The cold, too, Lad become intense, and the stinging pain in my fingers fold me my hands had been frost-bitten, while my feet seemed mere chunks of ice, no power of motion. Suddenly there came a jar and the bronchos were brought to a halt. Tug as they would, they could not raise the wheels over tie obstruction in our course. Now really alarmed at my situation I jumped from tic buggy, actwitMWarding tic paiu is my nearly frozen feet, and b:- -sbed away with my hand the snow- which was packing in front of the bnegy. “I was horrified to see that .he bronchos had passed over c:.c i (he many graves which mark the ..ti.urt of some hardy pioneer on these in terminable prairies, and my buggy had crashed against the small monu ment that some mourning friend or relative had placed at this savage, soli tary resting place. “I tell you, Harry, my boy. I never want again to experience such an un comfortable feeling us that which flashed over me on my discovery. This obstruction really appeared to me to be the mark of my own end. I am willing to admit that it was with something of the unreasoning power of a maniac that I lifted and pulled at the buckboard. until with a shout of wildest joy, I raised it over the obstruction and jumping into it. w hipped up the fainting bronchos tint il I had driven far away from the lone ly. soul-harrowing locality. “But now 1 saw the strength of my bronchos was fast waning, and, threatened by this new difficulty, mild ly urged them on. shouting and curs ing. trying in my despair. Slower, slower became their pace, while abut me the storm raged and snarled, re ceded and attacked, hurling the bat tering rum of its power dead iu the breasts of the mean, little, feeble team, and many, many times bringing them to a dead stop. “I think I must have become n maniac as at last 1 saw one stunibb and fall, with his hoof caught in some orifice in the ground, while the ( tici sank slowly, patiently, into the snow his life going out in hi; last struggle to rise. • “1 remember indistinctly of sitting by tlie side of the bronchos with tt’.- 1 awful storm beating about i.,v. an laughing and chattering as I toyi with their ears, or playfully tickln their sides with the broken butt c the whip. Then I remember o springing to my feet and gibbering ; 1 ran, making wide circles abo it them, dashing np to their heads as have done in my schorl day?, wav in my arms to scare them into u scam per. . “Then as the fatal warmth began stea'ing over me, * sank into the snov and tossed handfuls of it at the scurrying clouds and flying sleet. “When I opened my eyes I believed myself in dreamland. About me was every evidence of comfort and relit r ment. The delicious sense of warn fur coverings impressed me, and I raised myself slightly to take in more cf my surroundings. As I lifted n.y eyes they feasted on the fairy who had provided my dreamland with all these comforts. She was darkly, radi antly beautiful, and 1 reached out my arms to bestow a shower of affection ate gratitude upon her. Then I re called the sterm, saw again my dead team, myself running in madness about them, and how 1 had sunk in exhaustion into the snow. ‘And is this death?’ I cried to the beautiful spirit hanging over me. ‘No,’ she answered, ‘you have been saved, and will, I hope, soon be able to arise.’ “It is useless to dwell on my re covery to full consciousness, the myriad of questions asked and the an swers returned to them. My escape is easily explained. You know, Harry, how it was almost impossible in those days to obtain lumber foV the con struction of houses on the immense prairie lands of the west, and how, even in the present day, houses are built by cutting long strips of sod from the buffalo-tramped earth, laid in layers to the desired height, and covered with a roof of thatch so closely woven as to be impermeable to the rains of summer or the snows of winter. Rough as they are in exterior, many of toem are the homes of wealthy ranch owners, and are filled with all the comforts to be found in the most palatial residences of the city. “Well, in plunging through the dnfts my bronchos had at last fallen in the yard of one of these sod dwellings, Frank Coleman, the pro prietor of the ranch, pushing from the barn through the banks of snow heaped before the door, saw the dead team. Shouting encouragement to the driver he knew must be some where near, he worked his way about until he discovered my unconscious form partially covered by the drift. Then, with the fairy upon whom my eyes had opened, he carried me into the house. “You now know enough. I am not going to tell you how my ‘fairy’ be came my wife. We occasionally visit the ranch on which my father-in-law, Mr. Coleman, has since constructed one of the most handsome residences in the west, and then vve live over those scenes. “Well, going, old boy? Glad to see you at any time, and my ‘fairy’ may herself tell you the rest of our story. “Oh. yes. I obtained the affidavits I went after in time, and the result of my adventure was my present part nership.” Not I.ike Lightning. “Jimmy,” exclaimed the first boy, “teacher jumped on you pretty quack.

I-'hmli lon Is to lilts €' lln tie r- II leu, Sunken, Lilt-., Kl.'bctl uu the Arm, The craze for Japanese things lias bo far affected some women wit a much leisure time upon their hands that they tire having odd little de signs worked upon their arms and shoulders in faint delicate tints. An English dancer began this fashion with a butterfly on her upper arm, and it became a rage in London to have some design of the sort done on the flesh. People who go to Japan have their tattooing done by the native artists; but if is done with equally good re sults in New York by an Irishman who has a small shop on the Bowery anil has worked up a fashionable trade in this odd pursuit that has made him rich, says the Sun. Old-fashioned tattooing was done crudely with a needle, which often in flamed and irritated the skin. Now adays if is done with an electrical con trivance which, etches a design finely and painlessly. Colored inks are used, and their use is a secret which the Japanese artists have mastered to perfection. There are hooks of won derful colored designs for tattooing which one can choose from: birds, beasts and reptiles. The snake is a favorite with the tattooed, some of whom have one represented as being wound about the arm from the wrist to the shoulder. Women who go in for this fad choose as a rule some small, dainty and less terrifying pattern, butter flies being the popular fashion at present. New York's fattooer visits the houses of his fashionable patrons. At hardly any hour of fin* day is he disengaged, as a steady stream of less fashionable customers throng his shop for the purpose of having va rious designs of trade, religions sym bols. portraits, landscapes and names ske'ehed upon their arms in colored inks. tnaliunmi lake Toothpick*. “I’d like to know what my cus tomers do with all the toothpicks they carry away,” says a restaurant proprietor. “Few men take a single toothpick. Most of them take half a dozen, and many a whole handful, and when they come in here again for the next meal they fake as many over again. They don’t need them. It’s all due to the toothpick-chewing habit, which seems to be growing. There isn’t anything particularly pleasant about chewing a wooden toothpick, and it may Is* injurious If a piece of the wood lodges in the throat or gets down into the stom ach, as it is very apt to do.” How a Station dot It* Wane.
