ire •rau Cavalier county in the first win-
ter of its existence. It came about in
this way:
Cavalier county had been named, but
anorgtutized, for several years up to
1884. It consisted of a largo strip M
laud, all owned by the government, lee
ing west of the westerns boundary lice
of Pembina county. About that time
P. McIItigh of Bathgate was elected as
a reprcrae:st:ativo of Pembina comity iu
the legislature, and it occurred to flim
and to Attorney W. J. Mooney of the
sante village that • it would be well to
organize Cavalier county and add to it
the three rouges ht the western part of
Pembina county. This western part of
Pemlxiia county was very senhee ghee
than the rest o cauuty, and was.
situated, t 13eolrlo said, and say yet,
hie mountain." So McHugh got a
bill through the legislature defining
Cavalier county as it is today.
That was in the winter of 1884-5.
A courthouse was built at Langdon,
which was designated as the county
seat, and at the election iu November
various comity officers were elected.
Bat none of the county ()fbcers came to
Langdon to live. It was already a bad ,
winter, and they could see no reason
'why they should come if there was
some oue there to take charge of the 1
records. So they united in asking E. J. 1
Fox, a young man just from Canada,
to take change of the offices until sum- •
mer. Fox accepted the position, or posi- j
tions, and in December took charge of
the affairs of the county. The court-
house was then a large building—in
fact, too large for use. Fox decided !
that it would be better ro leave it va-
cant until spring, and he took up his
abode in a one roost "claimshack," the
only other building in town. This was
about 15 by 20 feet in dimensions, and
there he lived and did business that ;
winter.• He was deputy clerk of the
courts, county judge, county treasurer, 1
county auditor and register of deeds. '
The sheriff' lived iu the country and the I.
superintendent of schools Iiveci just
across the Manitoba line. The sheriff
did not serve out his term, for ho was '
put in jail for shooting a man in a fight.
There was not another living soul with- I
in two ini'_es.
Fox lived entirely alone, a::d did hie
own cool:leg, except the bread balthig,
• which was done I.:•,• a neighbor three
miles aw; ar. I,,;:::I t .-1, though ttae comi-

postente to of Olga, iu the eastern part
of the county, used to send over a lavgo

knew lived near Langdon, anal Fox
would give to there merle their neat

"Well," said the separatist, "I Can't

"Let one tell you a story," remarked
tho oldest luau in the party. "Thirty
fears ago, when I began practice, I lived
in Virginia, and for a year or two I
slept in my office. Then I msrried, and
ley wife owned a nice house, ttnd I went
to it to live. 'It sat book from the street
about 50 feet, and we deoided that i
would be limit nicer if we had my o£1le

for three years or so, when one night a
ring came to any bell. It was then about
2 o'clock in the morning, and the ring
was a hot oue. I asked who it was, and
the answer came from a friend of mine
to the effect that he was a mighty sink
man mud wanted to see me at once. I
told him to come around to the house
and I would meet hire at the door and
take care of him. Then I got up, and,
putting on nhy dressing gown and slip.
pers, I proceeded to the front door. But
there was no ono there and no one in
sight on the way between the gate and
the house.
"That was odd, and I went back and
called through the tube to know what
was Wrong. I received no answer, and,
being quite unable to account for it, I
took my lamp --it was a very dark and
still night—and started to go out and
investigate. Just as I was about to step
off the porch I lowered my lamp to
get a better light on tho step, and there
at the foot of the porch lay a body. I
turned it over at once, and as the light
fell on the face I saw it was sty friend
who had only a minute before spoken to
me. Ho was quite dead. And when au
examination was paaclo,it was discovered
that he had died of heart disease, and
en near to mo that I could almost have
touched him. I'oe nibly I could not have
been of any nervier to him if I had seen

A middle sized n:an, with a gray
mustache and a red tic hitched up ou

there. As he stopped at the cashier's
desir a man who was seated at a table

"Yes?" with interest from the Iran
across the table.
"Sure. I have always regarded him
with a peculiar affection. He came very
near making me a rich man once—in
fact, almest made e wealthy citizen of
me—so well to do that. I would never
have had to work amain."

in the office. There were three of us--
the captain, myself and the satchel. He
opened the satchel and showed me
wealth beyond my wildest dreams. I
hated to Ieave the beautiful vision."
And the narrator sighed deeply.
"Well," said his friend, "I don't nee
how that was anything like making you
a rich matt,"
"You don't? Well, let me tell you
this: If the captain had turned his back
for just six seconds I would have been
