FIRST NIGHT IN DAKOTA.
We were sitting aln.ut the open tire-plat-e
in otir -jlj h-..tne "JDown Eat," one
blustering S.ttur.iay oveninj: in March.
We wi re aauitinj? wit'u tm inipnti.-Dif
the apffaraciv of my younger brother
Jack, w ho bad an hour belore one to the
Jiostotiict?, a half mile away, for the
mail. . .
I don't fee where the chilj can be
m ttierta.d at l.vt, trying to pick op a
Hitch in tier knitting by the waning tire
light. 'Oh. he's f r.bably three milej tway by
this tin, ranging aliout tliea)urcs w itli
that Si:ud Winter bving out fox bait,"
wiij ljrothy. k I declare, there" ao
more depeiiilem-e to be pet in that boy
than in a chipmunk
"When he known, too, this i his ft
Iber'a nigh: to write, and we are all ao
anxious to hear from biuadihil Emi'y.
"It's a shame!"
" h, oh ! There lie ia now sltoute.l
little liob, as a aerie of hops ami cries
worthy ofa band of Chilcatlnli:inicamc
rapidly nearer.
Next moment the Hoor buret open, an.l
in tumbled lardy Jack, lit!-s breutli
lese, with a volley of ao balls whizzinj;
after him, Fent with vengeful aim by thai
t.aii.i of much enJuring eoinpsoiiM
whom Jack had aiifcignnictl. Mother,
w hile uiiklly chiding him, h oten.1 y
extricate liiiu from Ix neatli the ruiin.l
table, which, in his headlong llight, he
had upset upon himself, a ilh its loul of
papers, books, and Work baskets of mend
it.. "Such a mess! Turn Jam ut again,
and let liim gi t bb( desoiU V uiyed lKr
olliy, gathering up the melting snow
balls. " Bat where's tlve letter, my son 7" ask
el mother, anxiously, not nint h heeding
these indignant exclamations.
" Oh, that's all right, and Jack thrast
his rough, red hands deep into one pock
et after another.
Kut the letter as not fbrtheominj, and
a frf sh outburst of indignation bertn to
descend n;Hin his head.
"Twas in my cap. There's time big
boles in my pockets T' be exclaimed, rue
fully.
"Oh, there! And lie's lost his cap!
cried r.nuiy.
" Didn't 1 te!I you ?" said Dorothy, in
some contempt.
Jack ran to the door, and I hastily
lighted the lantern and followed him.
I 'own by the gate his cap was found
wherea snow ball had knocked it otrand
after feeling about in the soft snow w hich
had fallen that day, the letter was found,
crumpled and wet from the tramp of
many Murdy feet. In our thankfulness
at recovering the most prcei ii missive.
Jack's o'JVniM-s were for the tune forgot
ten. .
My father, w ho eastern business had
been declining for the !at few vears, had i
g ne to the far west some weeks previ
ously, iu (juest of a tract of 'and on which
to settle our big fa.iil . hoping not ocly
to improve bis fortune", but to find em
ployment for theiwoboys who were now
able to do something t- help meet the
family expenses.
He had left us behind to wait his sum
mons and thi b-tter, which had loen so
nearly lost, pnn'Iaiiued his success in se
en ring a tract of land such as be wished I
in a shelteifl va'ley in central T'iVota.
w ith abundance of grass an.l water. It
was situated in a township not then in
the market, and the only way to secure it
was to"s.)iiat " on it and " hold the claim
down " till it was thrown ojien for set
tlers. Notwithstanding the derJh of snow on !
tbeemund at the time and not a fo-it of!
lumber nearer than Pierre, thirty miles
distant, a bnlli'ingof some sort mut be !
erecte.1 to shelter us. So at Pierre lie had I
purchased lumber f.r a small h..nse, ha I
it framed, and sent it by mil to a station j
within six miles of his land. j
He lyid shoveled the snow away on a j
selected site, and with tbe helpof artoth- j
er "squatter" and his wife, living in a J
dug-ont a niilc aaay, he h.-ul got a house j
np. and now would one of the girls come ;
out anl keep it, while be trorkel and j
niaile further preparations for the recep
tion of mother and the rest of the family j
in theantnmn? ' j
cried Jack, as we mt regsiviinj mother in
in-piiivitive silence.
" Dorothy can'lcx), that's certain," re- !
marked mother, retlectively. "Herj
scliool won't close this two months to i
come."
" Better send .Em," interrupted Jack.
"She could hold a claim down if once
she fot her foot on it."
" I'm afraid Emily hasn't experience
enough to undertake the long jonrney
alone, much less tbe hardships of pioneer
life," said mother.
" So, yon will have to go. Kathy ; yon
are economical, and can help your tat bcr
and make him eomfortab'd
It was finally decided that I should go
on to father in bis new hncne in tbe
northwest, and two weeks from that
time found as on my long journey
thither.
The journey was a tedious one, and
many homesick thoughts and longings
for the Hear ones left behind would come
despite my efforts to banish them, as the
train epeii swiftly on over the wide
biradth of country between Maine an.l
IakoU. Yet everything had been fa
Somerset
SOMERSET, PA.,
vorable, and I lseyin to congratulate uiy
elfon my shrewdness and ability as a
traveler, when, by a blumler, I missed
the last connection at iterre. -
To make it worse yet it ha4 been very
stormy all day, and it was now Saturday
afternoon. There was no other pa-enger
train for the day. I exacted that father
would I waiting form at the;liitl way
station of C , oiue thirty miles far
ther on.
I fr.w now homesick in dead earnest,
ami resolved, on learning that a mixed
train wjuld start out at o'clock in the
evening, to push on with if, rather than
stop over till the next week. I hoped I
might get conveyance to the claim, or
in any event procure lodgings) at C .
So, never heeding the storm, I harried
at the appointed time into the single old
I:Lssenj,''rc.ir.at the rear of the lon train
and was snon moving out into the dim,
white country. There was but one other
passenger a dark, doubtful -look itig half
breed, who watched me so persistently,
though furtively, that before we bad pro
eetsle.l many niiJ.n I wonld have given
much if I had remained behind.
It was a great relief to me when the
cr.ttdui1.ir came in and engaged the at
tention of the fellow, as he occasionally
did, with inquiries ulsmt the U'.u k Hills
from which it seemed he had just come
! in.
Pienv and the fort across the river
w. re the starting points to the bills for
tiie freighters with their long ox and
mule teams of six and eight ' span, and
b: loa.lul wagjns coupled together like
cars. The presence of doubtful charac
ters in the icinity was then not a thing
uiiu.ual.
I continently expected that we would
gtt to our point of destination within
three hours after startiu;, but so slow
was our progrws on account of a heavy
train and siij ry track that not more
than two thirds of the journey bad been
accoiiip!i!ied in that time.
The storm bad come on again and tbe
wind blew a gale, and drove tbe frozen
hail in bhick clouds across the dreary
country. Night had shut down early,
making what was before an anxious situ
ation almost intolerable.
My odious fellow traveler bad even
moved to a nearer seat, and although
my suspicions may have dune him injus
tice, I felt him to be a dangerous neigh
bor, and was shivering as much with
fright as cold, when the conductoi again
came in and announced that we would
soon tat C .
"Are. you expecting friends to meet
yon, mis ?" be said to nie.
1 explained the situation to him hope
fully, but be put on rather a doubtful ex
pression. "Uuts'pos'n your father ain't there -w
hat then 7" he akeu ith tome concern
iu his tones.
" Why, I suppose, in that case, I shall
have to get lodgings, as it is too late to
get a con vey anosy i replied, us calmly
as I could.
" Why, miss, there's only one house,
an' that's more n half a mile off an'
'tain t like.lt you'd want to go to that,"
he added, in an undertone ; " nothin' but
a pack o' baif breeds living in it, and
queer at that. If 'twaru't so fur to u.y
place two miles, I reckon I'd ask ye to
go along, but it's too tough out, blow in' a
rc-giar blizzard."
" But, s.irely, I can stay in the station
the waiting-room T.' I faltered.
" Why, unss ' ' he exclaimed, after re
garding mc a moment, in wonder at my
ignorance. I suppose. "That's what I'm
hauling this luiuber for, to build a new
one. The old one went up in a blaze day
'fore yesl'dy. Tfcra't nothin' but a shan
ty, anyway,- he a 1 Jc.l, pic'in up bis
lantern, and going out hurriedly at an
iinrative aud shrill whistle from the
engine.
My feeling? lit this announcement can
be imagined.
Vjsm coining to a stop on tbe siJing,
and tin.!ii:gno one to meet me, I gave J
way. f..r the tirst time si nee leaving home, j
to tears. Ju.-t tseu a rough hand touch- j
ed my shoulder, and my offensive car
mate grow !ei into my ear :
" Where you go? Dig storm. Come
'l ing. I take care you."
1 ssmok oirhi hand with a shudder of
terror, b'lt niustre 1 sutiicieiit courage to
decline his attention most emphatically,
whereupon he went off into tbe darkness
muttering, and I was left to icy frighten
ed t'nongbtn.
What w ould become of me !
It was now alxjut Id o'clock, and the
storm still raged. Clearly there was noth
ing to be done but stay where I was till
morning on the lonely prairie. The really !
kind-hearted conductor came in again, I
and rekindled the lire in the stove.
"Iu.in't see but you'll have to set it j
O'tt here tili mortiin'." be remarke.1, not j
without a touch of anxiety in his voice. !
"There don't seem to be nothin' else, I'll
leave ye my lantern, th.uh ye'd better
blow it out, I reck'-u. after I go away, so
the light n-eiin't draw anvKrty round.
"But I'll lea.v ,e these matchi s," lie
continued, " in ca ye want to light it,
and 111 lock both doors of the car, but
I'll leave the key here inside. I'm sorry
miss, it's so fur to my place," he added,
after a final inspection of the tire and a
look at two or three of the windows.
" Yoti can cane pretty so.ji artcr I f

With t'nat he bade me gxxl nigltt, and
set off on bis lor.g tramp in the storm
w ith his two son, who were tbe train
hands. Their work allowed them to be
at home only over Sundays, and they
were tired and hungry, I presnme.
As soon as their steps had died away I
fell into a panic. In spite of the storm
and darkness, and tbe long distance, I
regretted that I had not braved it ail and
gone with them. Kunr-ing out, I shout
ed wildly after them.
But tbe storm bore my voice in anoth
er direction, and after waiting vainly for
an answering halloo, I returned to the
car, blew out ths light, locked the door,
and huddle! into a far corner, where for
a long time I sat, quite dumb with ter
ror. How the moments drageed ! The storm
began to lull. By 11 o'clock the moon
was showing fitfully through the broken
clouds. But the ghostly whiteness f
tbe w ide, lanely country was even worse
than the wild uproar of the storm. The
cracking of the car, the falling ofa bit of
coal in the rasty little stove, the ticking
of my wat.-b and my own tarbalent heart
throbs, were almost painfully loud and
oppressive.
My sensitive ear caught the Slightest

WEDNESDAY,
sounds, and presently I detected stealthy
footstepg outside. My heart stopped it'
beating for a moment, I grew diziy arid
faint, but retained sufficient sense to slide
down off the seat to the floor, where I
crouched, praying silently for the protec
tion of Him who haa promised to be otir
defense.
A slight meting of the car now became
perceptible, and the'dooi knob was slow-
ly tnrnn.1 '. A moment uter a dark face
was pressed rlo against one of the win
dow panes thai of tny odiotu fellow
passenger! Repressing with difficulty my impulse
to cry oat, I crouched stiH lower and re
trained silent, listening intently, and
conld now hparmulfipd footsteps. moving
around the car toward the door on the
other side.
Tbat knob was tried also, at first softly,
then with sodden fHrrtj and noise, as if
the sneaking wn-tcfi' was both disap
pointed and ancry.
I craw led along the ale of tbe car to
the stove and grasped lis? iron Are poker,
though I had, I conf.-ss, little faith in my
ability to wield it successfully in self-defense.
' ) I - -t ",,.
Twice the mis reant outside the door
appeared, from the sfun Is, to throw his
weight against it, and then with a mut
tered curse-sot ha-stily ssfl" tliron'h the
snow.
IJising from the floor, I -ered out and
saw his dark form move off in the direc
tion hi had gone on our arrival at the
station. It at once came to my mind
that he had gone away to procure an
ax or a bar with which . to force tbe
door. , . j ' . .
The instinct to fly instantly took full
posesr.ion of me. The Ore poker I still
held in my baud. Catching up the con
ductor's lnntern thougtt w Uy 1 scarcely,
can tell I rushed to the door of tlie car,
unlocked it, and sprang down tbe steps.
The snow was fully a foot deeji, but I
started to run in tbe direction I had
hea d the conductor and ibrakeman go
away.
The moon was again obscured. It was
squally, and tbe snow flakes filled the
air, but I could see far out on the prairie
some dark ol'ject which I thought might
be a house. I ran on toward it, exerting
myself to the utmost in my dread of pur
suit. . . ; j . : ' ' ' ,t :
The dark object proved to be much
nearer than I bad thought it. I reached
it after a few minutes, and to my disap
pointment found it to lw only an old
freight wagon. I drew np in the shelter
of it, and looked bar k toward the cars. I
could barely make them out, but I could .
hear sounds which indicated that my j
persecutor was trying to break in tiie I
door.
" My tracks in the snow will betray my
course:" I thought, and yet I u.mui start
ed aud ran on as fust as I could for some
time. I wasyoung and healthy, and my
fears gave me strength. '
At fast I stopped, -oale of breath, and
looked all about me, vaguely Loping
that I was near the conductor's house.
But only a white expanse of snowy prai
rie spread out around me. I could
not now see the care or the freight wag
on. Anxiety lest I should get lost on the
prairie and perish in thesnow next filled
in y mind. I went on, trying to keep to a
Straight course. The accounts which I
had read of persons getting lost und friex
ing to death on the western pla ns recur
red to tny mind, and tilled wi h the
gravest apprehension. By this time my
boots and hose were wet through, my
feet were numb with cold, and 1 was be
coming very tired.
Tiien suddenly some large object loom
ed up before me. Going forward a few
steps, I saw that I was close upon a
house. It must be the cm. lectors, I fill
sure, for I must have walked at least two
miles.
The house wa.-. a small one, and ail was
dark a,nd still about it. I approached the
door and knocked several times. At
length gruff voice called out, " Who be
ye? and what d'ye want?"
The tone of the voice rather than she
words sent a thrill of horror through iu?
afresh, for it was the voice of my dial
ed fellow jassenger, trie half-breed ' Tor
a moment I wa, staj.'iied with astonish
ment and dismay. Then it flashed to
my mind that in my wanderirgs over
the prairie I had lost my way, and came
round to the house of these disreputable
people !
In a paroxysm of fright I ran around
the corner of the house an J tiienaway
from it, off into the sno an 1 darkness.
(.lancing back I saw the glim ner of a
light at the house and bean! the J wr
open. I threw myself prostiate in the j
snow, lest I should be dcorered. It was :
not till I he ird the door close that 1 ven
tured to get up and go on.
How far I went, or how far I continued
walking, I cannot say, but after a long
time another dark object came into view
npon the white exsinse about me. I ap
proached it tremblingly. My feet were
by this time quite numb, and my senses
very dull.
It proved to be a small, mound-I ke
hovel, such aa are called "dig outs'' or
"dugouta."
Tloddiog my way round it I found tbe
door, w hich stood jar, aud entered. The
place felt like a tomb damn, cold and
dark. Aii at once' it occurred to me to
light the lantern, which ail tics time 1
bad carried, all hough I had left tbe pc
ker in t he snow long before.
Ah, how cheery and good the biessed
light was ! I found a stone fireplace and
an old bunk of board containinga straw
bed.
Having set down my lantern, I broke
the crumbling old boards in pieces, and,
with them and the straw, kimlied a fire
in the fireplace. When it was well ablaze
I sat down before it, took off uiy sodden
boots and warmed uiy poor, numbed
feet.
There was enough of tbe old mbbish
to keep a fire burning in the li replace for
an hour or more. It was now past four
o'ci-ick in the morning, and a gleam of
daylight was coming in about the door.
New hope came to me now, and not long
after I heard voices, as if persons were
passing.
Peeping out cautiously at first, I saw
two men who had gone a little past tbe
bore!, which I perceived was situated on
a road. My beuit gave a great throb for
joy ae I recogni xed in one of the men the
kind-hearted conductor of the train.
Pc'ling open tbe door I called to him,
as if be had been my oldest and best
fi itnd, and never itiall I forjet the look

I went homi with the conductor, and
found a kind and true friend in his ex

and felt badly all that day. If I had been
anything ofa heroine,! suppose I should
huve "hud a brain fever, and lain at the
