Jones was a married man, riuifinding it hnrd to sup port a wile in a tuvwflgprjiajps tiat emigrated to Northern Minnesota, leav- ing his wife under ber father's roof until be should be able to make start. 1 He and Burton had gone into part nership and ,4had prt-empt- ad a town site" of 320 acres. There were perhaps twenty (amtlips scaltered over - this site at the time my story begins and ends, for it ends in the same week is which it begins. . ThP: parties had disagreed, qnarreled, and divided their interests. The land was all shared between them, except one valuable forty-acr- e piece. Each claimed .

In fact it wt8 understood that Burton, was on the forty -- acre piece, de- termined, to shoot Jones if be came, and Jones had sworn lo go out there and shout Barton, when the fight was post- poned bv the unexpected arrival of Jones' wife and child. Jones' sbanty was not finished, and he was forced to forego the luxury of fight ing bis old partner in nis exertions to make his wife and baby comfortable for the night. For the winter eun was sur rounded by "sun dogs.". Instead ot one such there waa four, an occurrence n6t uncommon in thai latuu.ie, oat one which always boded a terrible pi o ra- in bis endeavor to care for his wife and child Jones was mollified alittle.and that be had been so vio- lent about that piece of land. Bat he was determined not to be "hacked out, and be. certainly would have to shoot Burton or be shot himself.. : , ; When he thought of the chance of br- ing killed by bis old partner,tbe thought was not pleasant. He looked wietfully at Kitty, his two-year-ol- child,., and dreaded that she would be fatherless. Nevertheless, he would shoot or be shot himself. - 1 ' ' While the father ' was bisy chopping wood, and the mother was otherwise en- gaged, little Kitty mannged to gel the shanty door open. There was no latch JjsuyeU and, Upc prying, little, bands easily. swung it back. A gust of cold air al- most took away her bctath ; but she got sight of the brown grass without, and the new world seemed so big that the little feet were fain to try and explore it. - : . ,. ,. ... - She pushed out through the door, caught her breath again, anA started off down a path bordered by sere gras and the dead stalks of wild sunflowers. How often had she longed to escape from re- straint and paddle out into the world alone. She would find out where the path .'went ' to and what there was at the end of the world ! ., What did she care if her, nose was blue with cold and her chubby hands red as beets - Now and then she pansed to turn ber head away from the rode blast, a forerunner of the ntofm hnt hnvincr cftsned a moment ahe quickly ."renewod her. brave march in search of the great unknown. The mother misted ber and supposed that Jones, wbo could not get enough of the child's society, . bad taken he little one out with lnm., . . ,.; , Jones, ' poor fellow, sure that his dar ling was safe within, chopped away until that awful storm broke upon him and at last drove htm, ed by snow and half-froz-en with cold,into the house. When ' there was nothing left but retreat he had seized an armful ot wood end carried-- it into the house with him to make safe" ttfaCThe Bad though to keep Kitt and hi? wile f r6m frwztirigin the coming awfulness of the night, which now settled downupon the storm-beate- n and snow-blinde- d world. ft was 'the beginning of tliat tetrible storm in which so many people were fto zen to death and Jones hall fled none too soon. When once the wood was stacked by the Btove Jonea looked around for Kitty. He bad no more than inquired: for. Iter when father and mother each Tread in the other's face the fact that she was lost in the wild, dashing slorm of snow. So fast did tlie snow Tall, and so dark wa9 the night that J ones could not see three feet ahead of bim He endeavored to' follow tile path wuich he thought Kit- ty might have taken, but it was buried in snow-drif- t, and he soon lost himself. He stumbled through the diifta, ca'-lin- g out to Kitty in his distress; but not knowing whither te weut. After' an hour of despairing, wandering.and shout-in- g, be came upou a house, and having wiaitped at the door, he : found himself face to face with his wife. " He hnd returned to his own house in his hewildeiment. -- When wfi remember that Jones had not slept for two nights preceding this one, on account of his moral quarrel with Burton, and he had now been hea' ing against an arctic hurricane and tram 01112 lurougn treacherous, owows ot snow for an hour, we cannot wonder that he fdl over his own threshold in a state of extreme exhaustion. Happv f r bim that he did not fall be wildered on the prairie, as many another poor wayfarer did on that fatal night. Ai it. wa, his wife must needs eive up the vain little pearches she had been oiak ing in the neighborhood of the shanty She had now a sick husband with fr-z?- hands and feet and'face to care for. Every minute the therm meter fell lower and lower, and a'l the heat tho cook-stov- e in Jones' little sliactv n uld give would hardly keep tbem frcm derz ng. Burton had stayed upon that forty acre lot all day, waiting for a chance to ahoot his old partner Jones. He had not. heard of the arrival of Jones' wife, and so he concluded that his enemy had proved a coward and had left him in possession, er elBe that he meant to play him some treacherous trick on his way home. So Burton resolved to keep a sharp lookout. But he soon found that im- possible, for the storm was upon him in all its fury. ' He tried to follow the path, but conld not find it. Had he been less of a frontiersman he must have perished there, within a fur- long of his own house. But in his efforts to kepp the direciion of the path be heard a smothered cry, and then saw something rise up out of the snow, and fall down again. He raised his gun to shoot it, when the creature uttered an- other wailing cry so human that be put down his gun and went cautiously for- ward.' - It was a child. ' He did not remember that ttiera was sticti a" child among all the settlers' in NewtonJ But be did not - etop to astr questions. He mnst, without delay. get himself, and the child, too. to a place of safety, or both would be frozen. So he took the little thing in his arms and started through the drifts. And the child put its little icy fingers on Burton's rough cheeks and muttered "papa!" And Burton held her closer and ought the snow more courageously than ever. He found the shanty at last, and rolled the child in a buffalo robe while he made a fire. Then, when he got the room a little warm, be took the little thing upon his knee, dipped her aching fingers in cold water, and asked her what her name was. "Kitty," she said. : " "Kitty," he said, "and what else ?'" : "Kitty," ahe answered, , nor could he find out anv more. "WhdseKiity'arc'your" ::r "Your Kitty," she said. For she had known her father but that one day, and now slie believed that Burton was he Burton sat up all , night and i stuffed wood into his impotent little stove to keep the baby from freezing to death Nover having had to do with children, he firmly believed that Kitty, sleeping snugly under blankets and buffalo robes, would freeze if he should let the fire subdue in the least. As the storm prevailed with unabated fury the next day, and as he dared nei- ther to lake Kitty out nor to leave her alone, he staved by her all day and stuff ed the stove with wood, and laughed at ber droll baby talk, and fed ber on bis cuit and dried bacon and coffee. On the morning of the second day the storm bad abated. It ' was 40 de- grees cold, but knowing that somebody must be, mourning for Kitty for dead, be wrapped her in skins, and with much difficulty reached the nearest neighbor's house, suffering ouly a frost bite on his nose by the wav. . . . "That child," said the woman to whose house he bad come,4,is Jones'; I seed 'em take her oulen the wagon day before yesterday " . , . ' ; Burton looked at Kittv a moment in perplexity, then be roiled her Yp acrain and started out "Traveling like mad," the woman said as she watched "jim. When he reached Jones he found Jones and his wife silting in wretched ness by the fire. They were both sick from grief, end unable to move out of the bouse. Kitty they bad given np for buried alive under the snow mound They would find her when spring should " come and melt the snow cover off. .'. When the exhausted Burton came in with. his bundle of buffalo skins they looked, .at him in amazement. But when he opened it and let out the li'lle Kitty, and said : "Here, Jones, is this yer Kitty!" Mrs Jones couldn't ' think of anything better to do thaa to. scream. And Jones got up and took his old partner's band and 6aid : "Barton, ole fellow!" and then. choked up and sat down, and cried helplessly. Ann Burton said: "Jones, oie fellow. you may have that forty-ac- r patch: ; It come mighty nigh; making me themur-dere- r of that little Kitty's father." No !" vou 8tnU tnke it yourself," cried Jones, "if I have to go to law to make you." . . .r:. And Jones actually deeded his inter est in the forty acres to Burton.' But Burton transferred It all to K'tty. That is why this part" of Nawton to day is called "Kittv' Forty." : Honest Dishonesty Rewarded. " London Telegraph, December 27. In the recently published- - memoirs of Kuatygin, the fsm os Russian actor, will be found the following , characteris tic anecdote of the late 13 nperor Nicho-- 1 las. His Majesty happened one day to be engaged iu inspecting a state peniten- tiary in one of the provincial sea's of government, and took it into bis head to question some of the convicts re- specting the nature of the offenses for which they were suffering punishment. "What are you here for," he .asked of one "I am innocent. Imperial Majis- - ty," replied the prisoner, falling on his knees ; "a victim of false witness A church was robbed, a beadle knocked on the head; the peasants caught hold of me and I knew nothing about it."

The Emperor, obviously bored bv these auccessive protestations of guiltlessness, cast a glance along the line of prisoners until his eve fell upon a ragged, wretched-lookin- g eypsy, whom be beckoned forward with the words, "Of course you, too, are here on a false charge ?" "Not a bit of it. Your Majesty," replied the Tsiean ; "it is all fair and fquare as 'ar as I am concern ed. I stole a pony from a tradesman.'

The referee disen- gaged himself from the crowd around b ra, moved closer to the table, put bis hand on his heart, and when silence had been restored fully five minutes after he said in a loud but tremulous voice, 'I did not see the shot!' A thousand men were on their feet in an instant, scream ing at the top of their voices. Again a crowd . of Frenchmen rushed for the referee.". Conspicuous among them was An American cams towards the tablft at my solicitation to interpret, and the Frenchmen yelled, 'Put him out (' The Frenchmen cursed the Americans. and the Americans replied. 'Take his pocket-boo- k! Why 'don't tou? K)b-ber- y! Don't plav, George! Liy vour ens on the table!' and a thousand other things. Finally the referee decided that the shot couoted, this being diametrically opposite to his first decision. I laid my cue on the table The excitement ba-car- ae indescribable. Everybody except Vignaux. who was delighted at the new turn of affairs, lost bis head. Had I been permitted to play, all I needed to have done was to pass the cue ball be- tween the two objct balls, and then in one simple kiss shot 1 would have had them railed, long rail, natural way, and no doubt I would have run the game out, lor 1 .was playing well and steady. Vignaux played and scored 75 and th game went on until Vignaux won, hut not fairly. Assisted by the referee, he stole the game from me. Piot and Mar- gin both say publicly he did not win fairly. Members of the Jockey Club silting iu the front row say he did not count and should not have baen allowed to plav. Heaps of Frenchmen condemn him. As for the referee, even with nearly all Frenchmen be ia a dead cock " in the ' pit. When Vignaux made the last, shot lois of well-dress- Frenchmen hugged him and kissed 'hira ' Some of them dime around me' and said, 'Three che rs for Vignaux ' Fu'ly 10,000 people were in the court and ; in front of the hotel singing the 'Marseillaise.

Capt, Roberto was an officer in the army .of the revo- - ution. He says : "We , were surprised at the hearing of a heavy cannonade from a great distance, which, proved to be the battle of Bunker Hill." P. 27. - On July 29,1812, a naval engagement. with a cannonade lasting an hour and a half, occurred between the United .States Flotilla of Delaware, Lieut. Samnel An- gus commanding, and some British ships that were in the bay. The oopfiict trans pired near Cape May, not far from a place called Crows Shoals. The firing of the cannon was heard by many . per sons at Washington city ; tho distance of which from the scene of action in a direct line is one hundred and twenty miles. This is recorded as "A Curious Fact" in Vol. 2, No. 9, page 40, of The War, published weekly at New York, 1812-1- 3. ' These cases are well authenticated.
