railway travel the com mandant capt kdgar was east ou or- loogh at the time aud owing to some ua avoidable delay did uot reach morris tlie railway tenamus until his men had de parted in the ambujancea provided for their transport a tiou what a shame exclaimed his son frank as they stood ou the piazza of a oatniortlesa apology for a hotel to think those fellows half way through with the disagreeable trip while we irayo it ail be fore us 1 j the breakfast bell ramj and they enter ed the house hy a door ou which dining hajl was printed in chalk the letters being more remarkable for sizti than reg ularity the dining hall proved to be a long low room lighted by a siiigle window and filled with a mixed crowd of frontier travellers these appeared to be a re presentation of even- class from gentlemen huntsmen to emigrants aud indians one of the latter with blue earrings and a slit uose occupied a seat opposite frank and hia primitive etjio of eating his breakfast sarioasly in- i terfered with franks appreciation o hia own fried bee an speckled biscuit can you tell me said the ctain to a redfaced man ii i can geva team here to tak a couple of passengers to fort 9 r yon kin a stage runs regular to the indian agency and a team comes down thar to meet it for the first mail who is the driver i be having finished his imoal this laconic person wt the room but immedi ately thrust his head back and shouted them as wants to go to the agency had better be settling their traps and get ready to pile ou in thirty minutes i shant wait for nobody we know what to expect np aud that is a great deal said the captain rising briskly make haste aud dress yourself frank why ive only to put my overcoat ou replied the boy yoa never crossed the plains in winter before while i have crossed a number- of times and know just enough iboat it to provide against all possible contingencies i have several things to get yet frank was palling on his becond pair of stockings when hia father came in with these purchases heres a pair of felt boots far each of us said he handing one pair to his son 51 ey are half an inch thick rnd infinite ly warmer thn leather for riding tack yaur panuioons inside the legs what else have you bed pepper and bome nuts v yoa can put them in the pocket of my buffalo coat my compass and matches are in my inside pocket now then i believe we are ready and polling bis fur oap well over hia ears the captain wpt qwnfaaire ith frank tofinddrjvexlfcyinup twsfae m a sprtnglajj doable wagon with a rickety top drawn by a pur of indian ponies that looked aa if they hid seen more than their share of hard tinicjj tho captain aud frank promptly seated themselvoj while the semi sa vase mini- civilized and wholly repulsive indian who j had disguritod frank at breakfast took the remaining seat by the driver in ten minutes the half dozen houses i that bore the name of morris city were j out of sight aud in front and on all sides i nothing was to be seen but withered grass j that rustled dolefully in the ceaseless wind j nothing broke the monotony of the scenes but an occasional claim shanty which rather added to the genera dreariness 1 once in a while a jackrabbit reared him- i self ou his hind legs to view the wagon i and then went off in great leisurely leaps j it is like being at sea only a good deal j more forlorn said frank but no one j seemed inclined for conversation and they drove on in silence till noou when the pouies were drawn up al a small frame j house containing unc room about six feet square well feed here announced the driver and youd better hurry up and get at it as i want to be started again it too cold to fool ou the way and it will be dark early a plate of friod fat pork aud another one of just such speckled biscuit as frank had taken exception to at breakfast lime form ed the meal flow are you feeling frank said his father throwing off his oau and warming himsetf by the fire im chilly without being cold clear through except my feet feet cold are they weil now is the time for the pepper just sip off yoar stockings and pepper the inside with this cayenne and yeu wont be troubled any more frank bad found his fathers advice too useful to disobey it and when he had pep pered his stocking the captain did the tame thing with his own the captain alto ate heartily of the uninviting dinner much to his sons surprise there is nothing like a good dinner to keep oat the cold he said when dinner was over the man of the house advised the driver to put up over uight and pointed to the threatening clouds let em thivatcu said george- ive made my trip in many a blizzard aud i dont think i shall stop for an october gale its chilly though aud ill put ou my btorm clothes he pulled out ft couple of newspapers folded them to half the width aud buttoned them inside iris vest when they again took their sem the sun was entirely obscured by light clouds and a peculiar whitish- gray cloud lay all slang the west george braced himself up as he de scribed his guzzling by a drink of whiskey and passed the bottle to the captain who refused it ko thank you he said nothing is so dangerous as whiskey in a cold day like this very well the surly fellow replied- ive got a man along that knows more thau yoa do if he is an injun and the liquor was passed to the indiau who grasped it eagerly and drank until the owner took it away it was growing colder ever minute now and it was no longer possible to talk with comfort in a short time the outlines of the da kota hills which had been visible for the last two hours disappeared behind the lowering cloud that came steadily ou it is no use trying to escape it were in for a blizzard exclaimed the captain guess theres no mistake about it this time answered george who was tiiori oughly excited by the lnc and was standing hr fchouung and beating the uooitj how near are we to a house asked frank haint any this side of agency and thats fifteen miles off then said the captain the bes plan is to turn around at once and niake for the house where w had our dinner it cant be more than five miles off and we shall have the advantage of going with the wind instead of against it i wont do it 1 said george obstinate- here the indian who had been lying in i the bottom of he wagon thrust his head i put of his blanket and took a long look at the sky after which without a word to any one he made a bound over the wagon- wheel and went skurrying back along the road like an animated ragbag the varmint is scairt commented the driver i shan b while my comforter lasts im uncommon coid though and he took another drink then let that liquor alone or youll freeze shouted captain edgar let me have the reins he added i wont do it i tell you i own every hair of them little beaeto and i wont anybody hold the reins over then it was do oie i he could not be coaxed or threatened and presently the storm struck them with all ita fury the ponies staggered and stopped but after bracing themselves and holding their heads close down they struggled on again urged by the savage driver irank trembling with ejamen aud cold ohoked aud blinded with the snow pallo a father djon you thank it wdaiawarmusno to have some of that plans whiskey nof thundered ihe idaptain dont think of touching that 111 give him ahdthechance for life aod reohinfffor- ward he took the bottle from the drivers coatpocket aud filing it out into the snow ko more nonbeiibo now he said asserting his authority give me the reuw he did uot wait for george to obey but took them oat of his hand and pushed him into the bottom of the wagon where the stupefied man lay threatening and growl- ing george tried to raise but the cold and liquor together had made him helpless and he pulled the buffalo robes over him and went to sleep the ponies were urged aud encouraged in every possible way bat the storm was so thick it was impossible to guide them and they stambledrepoatedy the wagon got into all sorts of ruts and jostled them about unmercifully suddenly frank cried oat father we must have lost our way the road was smooth enough and besides the wind is in our faces again it was only too true they were travel ing in a circle as is too often the case with travelers lost in a blizard the captain stopped the ponies and turning them back to the wind tried to consider what had best be done frank he said shake up that driver it will never do to let him go to sleep hell freeze to death the words were hardly out of his mouth when a gust of wind seized the wagontop and sent it spinning with the captain and frank clinging to it they were so con fused by the fall and so blinded that they were unable to tell which way to turn for the wagou where are you george the captain shouted hiilo thar came back the stupid answer but when the captain tried to go towards the soond it receded farther and j farther aud he finally very- nearly lost frank whom he had directed to hold j firmly on to the wagontop in fact to sit j down on it as the only means of holding it stationary j after wandering a few feet however be was guided by his sous voice and found tiim well frankie he said we are now reduced to our last chance but indians often outlive a blizzard and i guess we can we mast bring the wagontop round from tne wind and camp inside it was not a cheerful place to spend the uight and after seating themselves close together and drawing the buffalorobe which had fortunately also blown out about them they did not exchange a word for many a long hour though they shad- dered at the howling of the wind and the piercing cold in a short time the wagon top was com pletely drifted ocer and our travelers were as entirely shut in as foxes in their holes it was warmer then much warmer and the sound of the wind was deadened im really warmer said frank at last cheer fully but tremendously hungry this is an excellent opportunity to dis pose of my nuts said the captain in reply and he drew from his pocket a quart of shelled walnuts there is not an article more nourishing these and the redpep per will prove as good as life preservers to us after allj towards morning a small hole was made in the drift to secure fresh air and as dawn appeared the captaid applied his eye- to the aperture and discovered that the storm had ceased and that the house where they had dined the previous day was only half a mile away both captain edgar aud frank were stiff and chilled but it did w jake tjhem long to reach the shelter where they found that the only real damage done was in a couple of frost- bitten fingers and a frostbitten nose it was a melancholy sight however to see the ponies come struggling through the snow a few hours later 6tiu drawing the wagon loaded with a snowdrift which covered the body of their dead driver it ia a temperance lesson said capt edgar the whiskey proved only an evil in such an emergency hot always what they seem onlytho leaf of a rosebud that fell to the ball room
