THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA.
Out from the Blizzard
By Edjrnr S. Bradley. 1
(Copyright, 1WO, by tl Author!' BjruUicaU.)
MRS. KUTHVEN', tall, brilliantly
dark, with the brent h of the prai
rtet in her carriage, swept out of the
Aining-room, and her husband, (leorg-e
Buthven, and I turned to our coffee and
oigars.
"George, how t! id you pain that mag
nificent woman for a vife7"
Not at nil 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 thnt 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
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
sre now my partners, so it happened
that when an occasion arose in an im
portant land suit, requiring that a mnn
be sent to Ainsworth, Xeb., to obtain
necessary information from the rec
ords, I was selected for the duty.
"I readied 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 Atkinson, 55 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
and that no other train would start un
till 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 livery stable I in
duced the proprietor to take me as far
as Long I'ine, the next station, where
I could and did obtain a relay of bron
chos und another driver to Itassett.
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.
As we proceeded, the storm increased
in virulence on'd I was glad, indeed,
when I could toast my chilled feet at
the blazing hearth in the small hotel
the place afforded, while 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 I 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-looking
team of bronchos one ever saw,
and hitched them to a ramshackle
ort of slat-bottomed buckboard
bnggy 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 with
biting force against my face, while
the soughing of the wind hud risen to
shrieks and howls and came with a
force that nt times seemed powerful
enough to lift bronchos, buggy and
driver into the next county. My
eourse lay along the railroad track.
There was no road worthy of the
name to follow, as the level character
of the country and entire absence of
rentes permitted one taking a'straight
shoot' from one point to another,
with only the possibility of meeting
with some small slough that would re
' quire a little careful driving to cross.
"Urivlng along with my head down
wards to shelter my face from the
pelting sleet and ice, I quite forgot to
Took for my landmarks, the telegraph
polts, but n more ugly blast than any
I had experienced caused me to take
id quick glance about over my mufller.
Instantly I awoke to my danger. The
telegraph poles had disappeared! I
lad turned from my road and was
Iriving across the wild, desolate, unin
habited prairies, on which a house
was not to be met for miles.
"The storm now swirled and pound
id and roared with ferocious power
ibout me. Already I was passing
-.hrough drifts so deep as to compel
sy small bronchos to tug and snort In
she effort required to pull the buggy
through theih. Heavy darkness was
npldly taking the place of the gray
sh light, the dull, whirling snowbanks

intil it seemed that they and the
nasses of snow und sleet beating

Suddenly there came a jar and
Ihe twonohog were brought to a halt.
Tag as they would, they could not
raise the wheels over the obstruction
in our course. Now really alarmed at
my situation I jumped from the
my nearly frozen feet, and brushed
away with my hand the snow which
was packing in front of the buggy.
"I was horrified to see thnt the
bronchos had passed over one of the
many graves which mark the failure
of some hardy pioneer on these in
terminable prairies, nnd my buggy
had crashed against the small monu
ment that some mourning friend or
relative had placed at this savage, soli
tary resting plnce.
"I tell you, IInrrymy boy, I never
wnnt again to experience such an un
comfortable feeling as 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 mnninc that. I lifted nnd pulled
at the buckboard. until with a shout
of wildest joy, I raised it over the

them to a dead stop.
"1 think 1 must have brcome a
mnninc as at last I saw one stumble
and fall, with his hoof on light In some
orifice in tlm ground, while the other
sank slowly, patiently, into the snow,
his life going out in his lust struggle
to rise.
"I remember indistinctly of sitting
by the side of the bronchos with thnt
awful storm beating about me, and
laughing nnd chattcringJis 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 nnd gibbering ns
I ran, making wide circles about
them, dashing up to thenVends ns I
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 hnndfuls of it nt 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, nnd 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 nil
these comforts. She was darkly, radi
antly beautiful, and I reached out my
arms to bestow a shower of affection
ate gratitude upon her. Then I re
called the storm, saw again my dead
team, myself running in madness
about them, nnd how I had sunk in
exhaustion into the snow. 'And Is this
death? I cried to the beautiful spirit
hanging over me. '.o,' 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 un
swers returned to them. My escnpe
is easily explained. ou know, Harry,
how if) was almost Impossible in those
days to obtain lumber for the con

of winter. Hough ns they are in

of wealthy ranch owners, and are

"Well', in plunging through the
drifts 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, sow 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

writes Hugh M. Ltisk, in the Xortb

cific is bound to make itself felt be
fore long. Those who know Australia
best will have the least doubt that
she will find mentis ere long to use
that influence for purposes beneficial
to herself. Her people were far from
pleased with what was done in the
case of Samoa; nnd it is safe to say
that no such policy of concession wiil
ever command the nssent of united
Austrnliu. The sphere of her first
interests will, for the present, be con
fined mainly to the Tucific nnd Indian
oceans to the south of the equntor.
She will be interested in the Loyalty
group, where France Is established,
nnd in the New Hebrides, where she
is very anxious to establish herself.
She will be solicitous- about the Sol
omon islnnds, part of which are at
present recognized as German terri
tory, nnd she will take a very deep
interest in the future of Xew Guinen,
part of which belongs to Germany,
and the rest, beyond the British sec

Holland's great but little used estate
in the eastern archipelago.
These will undoubted! v be Aus

content with these for very long.

One of our steam contemporaries
calls attention to the fact that an
American manufacturer of rotary
pumps advertises ns follows: "Our
pumps nt work about three miles out
in the country are started and stopped
from the company's city office, their
operation being ascertained by tel
ephone. This goes on for days without
uny peron going nenr them." There
could, of course, be other electrical
methods of observing t he fact that the
motors and pumps were at work, but
the audible indication of the telephone
is all right.
There seems to be no end of the du

Why Their Wholesale Immigration
to Ihe lalnnal Should lie
lOnrnnrniteil.
"The Chinese immigration question
is one of the most serious with which
congress will have to deal In deter
mining' the future of the Philippines,"
said llrnry Clay Thackery, of Call
forniti. Mr, Thackery recently re
turned from Manila, where he. went to
study conditions as the representative
of a number of Pacific coast capital
ists who lire negotiating- for a Inrge
tract of land In Luzon, which they ex
pect to develop, says the Washington
I'ost. "Everyone is familiar, of course
with the controversy ns to whether
Chinese can be admitted to the Phil
ippines nnd yet kept out of the I'nit
fd States, and we people on the Pa
cific const ore keenly alive to the dan
ger that threatens this country should
the door be thrown open to Chinese
immigration by way of the Philip
pines, But, ns one who is interested
in the development of oiw new Island
possessions in the. Pacific, 1 nm much
In favor of admitting- as many Chi
nese there as core to or can be in
duced to go.
"Though the Spanish 'conquered'
the islands some .'100 years ago, the
I'hilippines arc, to all intents nnd pur
poses, n new country, and no new
country can be developed without la
bor. Work the Filipinos will not.
They would rather beg or steal five
cents a day thnn earn 11 dollar by la
lor. Some one other than the Fili
pino, therefore, must do the work
that is to be done. Americans, or
white men from other countries, could
never be persuaded to go there in any
contddernble numbers, so it would
eem that prnctically the only boye of
the Islnnds lies in the Chinese. If
Congress can devise n way to suspend
the Chinese exclusion net with refer
ence to the Philippines nnd yet keep
the bnrs up so far ns the rest of the
country is concerned, it will confer
upon the Philippine islands the great
est boon that could befall them."

"What do you mean, another Leiter

"No, I mean one of those corn con

"Such a contract ns a chiropodist

I can't understand what you are driv

"Well. I'll explain, then," said Camp
bell. "I .hnd' nn exceedinglj- bud pain
it my left foot last week. It hurt
so that a doctor stopping at my home
und others could do nothing to allevi
ate the soreness, which I found wns
the result of a large corn that hnd

"I determined to hnve it eradicated
by a chiropodist. I passed down
Wells street one afternoon and spied
the sign of n Gernlan doctor, which
said something about 'huehneruu

he was willing to relieve me of my
troubles by removing the growth.
"He proceeded to perform the oper
ation, anil when everything was fin
ished he asked me to sign a contract
for the work of removing the corn
right along. He said it was likely to
come back ugain and thnt such pacts
were made occasionally, but I did not
want to think anything more about
it nnd refused. I never henrd of such
a thing before."
