It doesn't do men any good to Jive opart from women and children, JL never knew a boy's school in which there was not a tendency to rowdy* ism. And lumbermen, railors, fishermen and other men that livo only with men, are proverbially a halfbear sort of people. ' Prontiermen soften down when women and children come?but 1 forgot myself j it is the story you waufc. Burton and Jones lived in a shanty by themselves. Jones was a married man, but finding it hard to support his wife in a downcast village, ne naa emigrated to northern Minnesota, leaving his wife under her father's roof, until he should be able to ''make a start." Ho and Burton had gone into partnership and had "pro-empted a town site" of 320 acresThere wore perhaps twenty families scattered sparsely over this town site at the time my story begins and ends, for it ends in tho samo week in which it begins. Tho partners had disagreed, quarrelled and divided their interests. Tho land was all shared botween - - ?i i-1 _ r A? tdom except ono ^aiuaute iorty-uvrc piece. Each of them claimed that pieco of land, and the quarrel bad grown so high between them that the neighbors expected thcra to "shoot at sight." In fact it was understood that Bnrton was on the forty-acre piece, determined to shoot Jones if ho came, and Jones had sivorn to go out there and shoot Burton, when the tufis noatnoned bv the unex "6"" " ? r ir v pectcd arrival of Jones' wife and child. Jones1 shanty was not finished, and ho was forced to forego the luxury of fighting his old partner, in his exertions to make wife and baby comfortable for the night. For the winter sua was surrounded by "sundogs." Inetead of ono sun there were four, an occurrence not uncommon on this latitude, but one which always bodes a tftrrihlfl storm. In his endeavor to care for vcife and child, Jones was mollified a little, and half regretted that he had been no violent about the piece of land. Bat ho was determined not to be backed down, and be would certainly have to shoot Burton or be shot himself. ~ "When ho thought of tho chance of l-Jil/wl Kin aU T-vn vf nni* flip uwug Kiiiuu yjy uio viu |/u> vuv? j prospect was not pleasant. Ho looked wistfully at Kitty, his two-year-old child, and dreaded that sho should be left fatherless. Nevertheless, he wouldn't bo backed down. Ho would shoot or bo shot. "While the father was busy cutting wood, and the mother was busy other wiso, little Kitty managed to get th< 'shanty door open. There was n< latch as yet, and her prying little fin gers easily swung it back. A gust o I cold air almost took her breath away but she caught sight of the browi TOttVimif and fho now worl< ' glUOD IMWiivuwj 1 seemed eo big that the little feet wer< fain to try and oxplore it. She pushed out through the dooi caught her breath again, and starte< away down a path bordered by sor mMiQo nnH fchfi Head stalks of tho wil< sunflower. How often hid sho longed to et - cape from restraint and paddle oo c into the world alone I So oat int - the world she went, rejoicing in he j liberty, in the blae sky above and th I. rnsty prairie beneath, Sho wonl t find out where the path went, an what there was at the end of tl world. What did she care if her not was blae with cold and her chubb V. ';k hands red as beets. Now and then she paused to turn her head away from a rudo blast, a forerunner of the storm, but, having gasped a moment, ' she quickly renewed her brave march in scarch of the great uuknown. The mother missed her And supposed that Jones, who could not get enough of the child's society, had taken the little pet out with him. Jones, poor tellow, sure that the darling was safo within, choppod away until that awful storm broke upon him, and at last drove him half smothered by snow and half frozen with cold, into the house. When there was nothing left but retreat, he bad seized an armful of wood and carried it into the house with him, to make sore of having enough to keep his wife and Kitty from froezing in the coming awfulness of the nfght, which now settled down upon stormbeaten and snow-blinded world. It was the beginning of that horrible storm in which so many peoplo wore frozen to death, and Jones had fled none too soon. ! W hen onco the wood was stacked by the stove, Jones lcoked round for < Kitty. Ho had no more than in- i quired for her when father and mother each read in the other's faco the i A..nf nK? wrflfl Inst, in this wild. dashing storm of snow. So fast did the snow fall and so ( dark was the night that Jones could not see three feet ahead of him. He endeavored to follow the path which he thought Kitty might have taken, but it was buried in snow-drifts, and . he soon lost himself. He stumbled through the drifts calling out to Kitty in his distress, ' but not knowing whither he went. After an hour of despairing, wander- ' ing. and shouting, he came upon a house, and having rapped on the door, 1 be found himself face to face with his wife. 1 He had returned to his own house in his bewilderment, ! When wo remember that Jones had ( not slept for two nights preceding this one, on account of his mortal 1 quarrel with Burton, and he had now ' been beating against an arctic hurricane, and tramping through treacher- ' ous billows of snow for an hour, we ' cannot wonder that he fell over his own threshold in a state of extreme * exhaustion,. 1 " > 'l-.i >- - J!J I uappuy tor mm mat uv uiu uut fall bewildered on the prairie, as many auother poor wayfaror did on that Altai night. As it was, his wife must needs give up the vain littlo searches she had been making in the neighborhood of the shanty. She had now a sick husband, with frozen hands and feet and face, to care for. Every minute the thermometer fell lower and lower, and all the heat the little cook-stove ItT Jones' shanty could give wiould hardly keep them from freezing. Burton had stayed upon that fortyacro lot all day, waiting for a chance to shoot his old partner Jonea. He had not heard of the arrival of Jones' 1 fnirtilr. nnd so he concluded that his ' ?- V i ? ? enemy bad proved a coward and had left him in possession, or clso that he meant to play some treacherous trick 1 on him on his way homo. ! So Burton resolved to keop a sharp lookout. But he soon found that impossible, for the storm was upon him in all its blinding fury. Ilo tried to follow the path but ho could not find it. Had he been less of frontiorman ho must have perished there within a furlong of his own house. But in 1 endeavoring to keep the direction of the path he heard a smothered cry, J and then saw something rise up cov erod with snow, and fall down again. He raised his gun to shoot it, when the creature uttered another wailing cry so human, that ho put down his gun and went cautiously forward. It was a child. lie did r.r.t remember that there was such a child among all the settlers in Newton. But he did not stop to ask questions. Ho must, without delay, got himself and tho child, too, to a place of safety, or both would soon bo frozen. So he took the little thing in his arms and started through tho drifts. And the ehild put its little icy fingers on Burton's rough cheeK, ana muttered "Papal" And Burton held her closer, and fought the snow noore courageously than ever. He found the shanty at last, and rolled the child in a buffalo robe while ho made a firo. Then when ho got the room a little warm, he took the little thing upon his knee, dipped her aching fingers in cold water, and asked her what her name was. "Kitty," aho said. "Kitty," he said, "and what elso ?" 'Kitty," she answered, nor could ho find out any more. "Whose Kitty are you?" "Your Kitty," she said. For she . had Known ner iainer duo lijiiu u1ju| day, and now she believed thataBur1 ton was he. Burton sat up all night and stuffed ( wood into this impotent little stove , to keep the baby from freezing to I death. Never having nothing to do with children, he firmly behoved that , Kitty sleeping snugly under blanket | and buffalo robeB would freeze if he } should let the fire subside in the least, j As the storm prevailed with unabated fury the next day, and as he f dared neither to take Kitty out nor leave her alono, he stayed by her all \ day and stuffed the stove with wood, j and laughed at her droll baby talk, 0 and fed her on biscuit and fried bacon nn/1 nftffoft ttUU VVUWVI f On the morning of tho second day i the storm had subsided. It was forty o degrees cold, but knowing somebody d must be mourning Kitty for dead, ho wrapped her in skins, and with much j_ difficulty reached the nearest neight bor's house, suffering only a frost-bite 0 on his nose by the way. "Thnt. Hfiirl the woman to T , e whoso house he had gone, "is Jones' d I seed them take her onten the wagor d the day before yesterday." to Barton looked at Kitty a momenl >e in perplexity. Then he rolled her nj y again and started out, "traveling iik< mad," the woman said, as she watched hira. When ho reached Jones', ho found Jones and his wife sitting in utter wretchedness by the fire. They were both sick from grief, and unable to move out of the house. Kitty they Ci had given up for buried in some bdow m mound., Thoy* would find her when fr spring would como and melt the m snow-cover off. ]a When the exhausted Burton came m in with his bundle of buffalo skins hi they looked at him with amazement. ai But when he opened it and let out the ha little Kitty, and said? ai ' Here, Jones, is this ver kitten?" hs Mrs. JoDes couldn't think of anything f0 better to do tban scream. e( And Jones got up and took his old. p; partner's hand and said, "Burton, ole tl fellow I" and then choked upaod eat al down, and cried helplessly. sc "And Burton said, "Jones, ole fel- to low, you may have that forty-acre re patch.

Autobiography of a Cotton Balfe^i IN TWO CHAPTERS, ^ 'i?8l CHAPTER L - *2 I was raised in Wake county, Norttfl aroliua, by a farmer of moderate, eans. At an early age I lcarnpd , orn a conversation between the farer and a neighbor that I and tttf nd on which I was raised wdftf ortgaged to a Baltimore firm,^rhp id furnished fertilizers for the3j$G!|L id also to a Raleigh merchant- ^3 id sold supplies of Western bttflR id corn for the support of .thf"SwsB indfl, and Northern hay and'oatsf r the mules. The farmer complafoi1 that necessity had forced him to ly a very high rate of for HOrt AP V?ft ftft*\Jfftl iwrrilt'fifnH ?n fKA IU UOU KJL tuo capital iUYCObCU lU bUO )ove mentioned fertilizers ;attljarm ipplies, and that he hadifr addition > pay a heavy fee for drawing and icording the mortgage securing the >mmission merchants. 1 noticed that the mnleB .on the rm were poorly fed; and that as ley passed the lot gate they eagerly pped a few banches of luxnriant over which had sprang up from eds dropped oat of the Northern its. The farmer said, as the males issed on. "1 would sow ao aero in over, but I need all my best land for itton." I havo nothing very remarkablo to II yon concerning my youthful days, observed that the hands employed the field wore poorly clad. Most ' them wore coarse, cheap Northern ade clothes, shoes and hats, and om their rudo talk I found that they id very little education. The wives id children of these farm laborers equontly came to the field, and I ,w that the women wore Northern ,lico dresses, and that the children ere growing up in ignorance. After being picked and packed I as taken to Kaleigh. The commisan merchant said to the farmer: Cotton is flat to-day, but we expect will go up 600n." The farmer jhed and replied, "Well." I guess I ent into a large new brick store, id accidentally hoard the merchant y to the clerk: "Insure this bale of tton and charge Mr. A. with insunce and storage." I remained shut > for some time, when the farmer me oft day and the merchant said him: "Cotton is no better, but I q compelled to have somo money, will ship your bale to Baltimore and > the best I can with it." A dray soon came up, and as I was >isted into it, the merchant said: lave this bale insured and directed W. & fl., Baltimore. They will iy the freight and insurance." I was hurried over the railroad to orfolk and thence by steamer to altimore. I was then stored for mo time, when I was sold to the ;ent of a Rhode Island manufactur. As I passed out 1 heard the erchant calculating how much was le him as storage and commission 1 my sale. My purchaser was also lsy'in getting out his insurance on e and arranging to pay freight oa e to Bbode Island. Nothing occurred on the route to y destination worthy of remork. 'hen I arrived at the factory I found veral thousand friends raised in orth Carolina. I noticed the woen and children seemed cheerful, it none of them wore Southern ade shoes or Southern made boots Southern made clothcs, or ate juthern bacon. The dray horses ero well kept, but did not eat South n hay or oats. The owner of the .ctory* they said, was very rich, and ad made his fortune manufacturing >tton cloth for the New York marBt. I was hurried through the factory id came out a bolt of nice, smooth oth. 1 was hurried into a Daio 01 oth for a New York wholesale house, tid as I went oat I overheard a con* ersation of the owner of the milL l'o said he was realising handsome refits.from his factory, and besides 0 was giving employment to a honred familes, and was one of the irgesl tax-payers in the State. 1 then went to New. York to the stablishmentof one of the merchant rinces, and was delighted to hear im say to a clerk, "send this bale to tessrs. Tucker, Raleigh." As I had assod over the routo before, it was ot new te me, and I armed safely in talcigli in less than a week. By hance I was put on the bottom of a lrge pile of cloth, and having nothing o do, I entered into a little calculaion. It was as follows: I have changed hands often. First ho Raleigh raercha&t realized Ins ?rofit and storage. Then the Insuanco agent. Then the Kailroads got hoir freights. Then the steamers jot their freight. Then the Baltinore merchant got his storage and iommissions. Then the Northern insurance agent got his per cent. Chen tho manufacturer got his profits. Che New York wholesale merchant jot his por cent. Then tho railroads ind steamers got their return freight, tnd the insurance man got another )or cent., and?
