RUTHVEN, ; tall, brilliantly dark, with the breath of the prat- ;4H in hr earring, swept out o( the -allning-room, and Jier, husband, George - Huthvcn, ud I turned toour coltve and cigars. t "George, how Aid you gain that jnaff talficent woman for a wife?" Not at all discomposed at the broad- of my compliment to hii wife, George imiliugly responded: "You remember the great blizzard ... which swept over the western prairie elates, particularly Nebraska, during - January of 1SS7? Yes? Well, it was from that blizzard that I 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 Jiad, to use an old-time phrase, 'arti led myself to one of the most prom inent legal ilrms in this city. 1 grew steadily in favor of my superiors, who re now my partners, so it happened that when an occasion arose in an im portant land suit, requiring that a man be sent to Aiusworth, Ntb., to obtain ' necessary information from the rec ords, I 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. I shortly learned that it . could be replaced by certain affidavits which a banker at Atkiuson, S5 miles .down the road could give, if he should be so disposed. Unfortunately only one passenger a day was then running and I found that had just left sndthat no other train would start uu 1411 late in the night. That would be a slow freight, which would not get me In Atkinson much before the passenger the next morning. So I concluded to drive the 55 miles. . "Hurrying to the llTery stable I in duced the proprietor to take me as far a Long Pine, the next station, where J could aud did obtain a relay of bron , chos and another driver to Bassett. There 1 obtained another relay and started for Newport.'the next stop, and by the time we reached there, the snow was falling quite fast, but still , -there, was no indication of the horrible storm in which so many lives were . lost and in which the cattle ranches suffered almost to bankruptcy by thou , -sands of head of cattle being destroyed. - ... -Aa . we proceeded, the storm increased r in virulence and 1 was glad, indeed, "when I could toast my chilled feet at "' hr blazing bcrh in the small hotel qpiaca afforded, while to; driver was cnig about an exchange oi norsei.

Unaccustomed as I was ''to' western blizzards, I jumped at this (ihflnfiB a.n d nuiolflv nine. .it u ilntil with , -i v him. i -. '"-9'VHe produced the sorawuiist-look-. -iag 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 , neither 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 with luting 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 railroad track. -There was no road worthy of the came to follow, as the level character ot the country and entire absence of fences permitted one taking n 'straight - shoot' from one point to- another, .- with only the possibilily of meeting -i'jwjth some small slough that would re"- quire n fiwie -caretm driving to cross. -a "-"Driving along with my head down ". - wards to shelter my face from the pelting sleet and ice, I quite forgot to ;- vjook for my landmarks, the telegraph -oles, but a more ugly blast than any aj had experienced caused me to take a quick glance about over my muffler. Instantly I awoke to my danger. The . -telegraph poles had disappeared! I , -had turned from my road and was , driving across the wild, desolate, unln habited prairies, on which' a house was not to be met for mlle3. . xne storm now awineu una pounu- i d and roared with ferocious power ; - about me. Already .1 was passing,; through drifts so deep as to compel' ' -my small bronchos to tug and snort in -the effort required to pull the buggy " through them. Heavy darkness was s-apidly taking the place of the gray- ' ish light', the dull, whirling snowbanks f cloudB lowering and plunging about "atntll it seemed .that they and the amasses of snow and sleet ; beating gainst me were one. The cold, too, .' Juid become intense, and the stinging - -pain In my Angers told me my hands " v .bad been frost-bitten, while my .feet seemed mere chunks of ice, no power , of motion . . . , jo , Suddenly, there - cant j Jar ' and . the bronchos were brought to a halt. ,.3Cug as they would, they could-,4 not ; .v araise the wheels over the obstruction in our course, Now really alarmed at my sltuntion 1 jitf-ed from the ' hnggs; no: .win In my nearly frozen feet, and brushed away with my hand the snow which waB packing in front of the buggy. "I was . horrified to see that the bronchos had passed over ono of tho many graves which mnrk tlie, rniliiro of some hardy' pioneer on these in terminable prairies, and my buggy had crashed nguinst the small monu ment that some mourning friend or relative hod placed at this savage., soli tary resting place. I tell you, Horry, my boy, I never want again to experience such an un comfortable feeling as that which flashed over me on my discovery. This obstruction really appeared to ma to be the mark of my own end. I am willing to. mini it that it was with something of the unreasoning pcavcr of a maniac that I lifted and nulled- at the buckboard, until with n shout of wildest joy, I raised it over the obstruction and jumping into It, whipped up the fainting bronchos until' I had driven far away from the lone ly, soul-harrowing locality. "But now I saw the strength of my bronchos was fast waning, and. threatened by this new difficulty, mad ly urged them on, shouting and curs- lug, crying in my despair. Slower, BiuMer uccaniu wieir pace, wniic noout me the storm raged and snarled, re ceded and attacked, hurling tho bat tering rnm of Its power dead in tho breasts of the menu, little, feeble team, and many, ninny times bringing them to a dead stop, "I think I must have become a manino as at last I saw one stumblo and fall, with his hoof caught in some orifice in the ground, while tho other sank slowly, patiently, into the snow, his life going out in his last strugglo to rise. "I remember indistinctly of sitting by the side of the bronchos with that awful storm beating nbout me, and laughing and chattering ns I toyed with their ears, or playfully tickled their sides with the broken butt of the whip. Then I remember of springing to my feet and gibbering as I ran, making wide circles about them, dashing up to their hends as T have done in my school days, waving my arms to scare them into a scam per. "Then as the fatal warmth began stealing over me, sank into the snow 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 refine ment. The delicious sense of warm fur coverings impressed me, and I raised myself slightly to take in more of my surroundings. As I lifted my 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 nftectio!; ate gratitude upon her. Then 1 re sile" . Hn,t tub storm, saw again my w. team, hlySelf running in madness ' O about them and how I bad sunk in pvnmiiTinii tnrn fhp nnw 'Anil le IKIn exhaustion into the snow. 'And is this death?' ! 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 nsked and the an- swers returned to them. My escape is easily explained, iou know, Harry, how ft was almost impossible in those days to obtain lumber for the con struction of -bouses 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 bulTalo-trainped 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. Hough ns they are in exterior, many, of tnem 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 drifts my bronchos had ot last fallen in the yard of one of Jhese 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 tho drift, j Then, with the fairy upon whom my eyes had opened, he curried mo Into i the house. "You now know enough, I nm not going to tell you how iiiy 'fairy' be came my wife. We occasionally visit the ranch on which my fathcr-in-Iaw, Mr. Coleman, has since constructed one of the most handsome -residences in the west, and then wc live over those scenes, "Weil, going, old boy? Glad to see you at any time; and my 'airy' may herself tell you the rest of our story. ,"Oh, yes.

"Jimmy," exclaimed the first boy, ''teacher-jumped on you pretty quick.

FIT .(.II On Thut Contained Wonderful Combination ot Numbers, . Innsr club circles have been regaled with a story of e recent sitting k draw poker, in which five well-known clubmsn 'took part, says the Unlblmore Sun. , . . It was nt the home of one of the members. Two new nucha of oards were brought out, the seal of one was cut--ami the cards shuRled. Prom thin puck cards wore dealt around to se lect the dealer for the opening hand. This done, the second pack of cards was opened and shuflled by one of the party, who handed it to the dealer, , wno -also shuffled.. The pack wns'then tendered tor-the usual cut, which was done. A round of jackpots had beeu agreed upon. The player who had first say was -an insurance man, and he promptly opened. Next was a grain merchant, who raised the opener. A member of the stock exchange oame next and he saw the raiBo and weut the limit bel ter. A merchant well known for hU iiggressive spirit, sat next In line and h. nnlotlv nmv. n ti.nt i.n.i i....... hot mm raised the limit. II- was now around to a railroadman, who was the dealer. There was a pause, and each player inspected his cards with a self satisfied air. Tho railroad man broke the silence by meeting all bets and raising them the limit. Everybody stiyed in the game. The dealer nsked ! how many cards were wanted and each player In turn snd none. The dealer took none. He madc a nominal betand. the call was passed all around. At the show-down the hand in each case was a full house and, beginning with the first to the left of the dealer, as follows: Sevens and deuces, debts , and treys, nines and fours, lens und ' fives, aecs and fives. The railroad man was the winner. He has had the cards as held by each player framed and each player has a photograph of them as a souvenir of phenomenaj sequence In s game of poker.
