It—the feud :all started on account
of a yearling calf --than which, per -
suit me (a stock -raiser of . limited but
fruitful- experience) to interpolate,
there never was nor can there ever be
a creature more hopelessly, unreason-
ably "ornery," and one more produc-
tive of sinful language and display of
sultry temper do the part of its keep-
ers. Yearling calves have caused the
recording angel more trouble, broken
up more old friendships, produced
more family jars, and, in the form of
veal, begotten more indigestion and
the insomnia resultant therefrom,
than—but this is not an essay on the
sinful, sportive steerlet and his short-
comings,
The Walkers and the Boned icts had
been old neighbors for years, "back in
Ioway " In fact, the elder Walkers
and the elder Benedicts had been mar-
ried about the same time, at the''be-
ginning of the war, and had just set-
tled on adjoining homesteads when
the first gun was fired on Sumter.
The men enlisted in the same com-
pany, fought side by side, ate and
slept and suffered together; and at
home their young wives waited and
wept • together. When: the little
Walkers and the little Benedicts grew
large enough to run about, they were
playmates and boon companions; the
children of one family felt as much
at liberty in the home of the other as
they did in their own—for twenty-
eight years the two families had lived
in peace and amity, and then that
miserable calf precipitated an irrepar-
able row. It was too bad, all the
neighbors said, but it is a noticeable
fact that none of them tried to patch
up a peace—life in Hickey Township
.and at Hickey Corners would have
been dull, indeed, but for the feud; so
everybody sat by and watched each
new Phase of the affair with nervous,
morbid interest, and commented
thereon, but not in a manner likely to
prove conducive to a truce on the part
of the disputants.
It was this way: The Benedict and
'Walker houses had been built on ad-
jacent corners of the homestead rquar-
ters,and were quite close together;, in
fact, one well, sunk on the quarter -sec-
tion line between the two homesteads,
had furnished water for both families
for the first four years after coming to
Dakota, and it was only a short dis-
tance from either house.
But it came to pass that on the
Walker domain there was born, and
grew, and waxed fat and "sassy," a
brindle calf, with a right smart chance
of white in its eye and a plethora of
deep-dyed mischief in its soul—and he
----(for-it w e>i young. _gentleman "crit-
ter") while yet of ter • age but
tough nTerecord, engendered the feud.
He had wandered away the day before,
and when he returned at night to the
gatelof the calf -pen it was shut against
Lim, and in the morning when Papa
Benedict arose from post -breakfast,
family prayers, and, followed by the
younger male Benedicts, hied him to-
ward the stable, he beheld his neigh-
bor's incipient steer nipping in the bud
sundry young and toothsome cab-
bages, and kicking out of the earth, in
his bovine abandon, all he could not
eat.
Then was Papa Benedict wroth, and
thereupon did he give way to naughty,
profane words, while the young Bene-
dicts surrounded the offending calf
and brought him up for judgment.
Now, Papa Benedict was a man of
hasty temper, but easily calmed; so,
when the calf was tendered him at
the end of a long picket -rope, his wrath
had decreased several degrees, and he
wound the rope around his hand and
started to lead the calf home.
It was while he was pondering on
what to say to the calf's owner that
the calf suddenly remember a previous
engagement, and started, in some
haste, to keep, heading directly across
the croquet ground. Papa Benedict
wished to follow with more dignity
than the calf desired; and presently his
feet were scraped from under him by
a wicket, and he was being handled
the way the vaqueros in South Ameri-
ca are supposed to make butter—at
the end of the lasso. He did not look
very neat when, a few minutes later,
he reached the Walker residence and
called his neighbor out. He was hola-
ing the calf up short, but his temper
had slipped its tether and caused him
to say bad words, to which Papa Walk-
er replied in kind—whereat Papa Bene-
dict seized a convenient neck -yoke and
killed the cause of the trouble.
Of course there was a fight and con-
siderable ill -chosen language; then, as
soon as possible, Papa Benedict sued
Papa Walker for the damage of his
cabbages, and Papa Walker sued Papa
Benedict for the value ofthe calf. After
that, they prosecuted each other for
assault and battery; the younger mem-
bers of both houses "sassed" each other
at every available opportunity; Mrs
Walker and Mrs Benedict did no more
"neighborin';" and Mort Benedict and
Nellie Walker "busted up" with each
other. That is, Nellie broke with Mort,
who, for his part, had a wholesome
contempt for feuds and such nonsense,
and would fain have ignored the state
of affairs, so far as Nellie was concern-
ed, except for the opposition any over-
tures from him would have received
on all sides. and especially from Nellie,
So he had to grin and bear it, leaving,
however, all hostilities to others, and
speaking pleasantly to any of the
Walkers he chanced to meet.
But, finally, through, a rash act of
s own, he was forced into the feud.
'1 here was a husking -bee, of the good
old-fashioned sort, at Thompson's one
night, and the younger members of
the hostile houses attended. During
the evening Mort found a red ear in
bis pile, and—he never knew what im-
pelled him to do it, unless it was that
Nellie looked so ptretty and tempting
he took his former sweetheart in his
arms and kissed her, not once, but
three times.
w
d s soon as it, could be done without
the iris knows g of it, 'Bud Walks
and arvey I reg. invited Melt. and Pei
,itorner out into .the maanilt pasture,
where Bud insisted on "having It,out."
Mort demurred, but in vain, and; much
to his reg. ret,' Was forced to "leek" to a

some da to call his brother in. law,

That .,settled it. Thereafter, even
tender-hearted Mrs Walker -who, like
Mrs`Benediet, sincerely but silently re•
netted the trouble that kept her';nppart
rata herOld-time, friends these four
long years; and who had always had a'
pleasant greeting for all the family,
especially for Mort, who was a great
favorite of hers—cut him ,.dead when
she happened to meet him, and even
the frigid inclination of the head with
which Nellie had been wont to recog-
nize his presence on those rare occa-
sions on which they met was now de-
nied him
All this cut Mort deeply, but he was
made of too tough fibre to show it; so
till the end of the feud, he tried to act
as though he did not care—just as did
Nellie, who, however, was obliged to
confess to herself, once in a while, that
she did care, "lots,"
The -spring of 188—is a memorable
one in the history of many portions of
the Dakotas. The amount of rain in
the fall, and the sncw-fall of the win-
ter preceding, had been very slight in-
deed, and there were no spring rains
to encourage the farmers. The creek -
beds and coules were dry; the lake -
beds and sloughs were as innocent of
water as powder magazines; and the
matted grasses and reeds standing in
theta were as dry as was the grass on
the prairies. Everything invited the
fire -fiend, whose work on the plains is
so swift and thorough—and he accept-
ed the invitation.
From the wheat regions up north
came tales of his deadly work—of
counties almost entirely laid waste, of
hundreds made homeless and penni-
less, with nothing left, even wherewith
to wring their bread out of the soil.
In C—County and its neighbors,
however, all felt secure; the fires were
far north of there, and being gradual-
ly exterminated. Besides, they were
in the Jim River Valley; it is curious
how much confidence the proximity of
a river will give to the settler who is
threatened by prairie -fires.
Mort Benedict and his father were
returning from the county town one
day, having been in to leave "mother"
for a two days' visit, and to have the
breaking plow repaired. For a day or
two there had been rumors of fires only
twenty miles or so to the north, and
they were talking of this as they cross-
ed the bridge, four miles from home.
As they reached the top of the hill on
the west side of the river, Mort glanced
at the northern horizon, which was
not distant, on account of a range of
hills running east and west, and—
Did his eyes deceive him, or was that
smoke, just rolling up above the line
of hills?
"Look, father!"
Startled, the elder man did so.
"Good God, Mort ! She's a-comin',
an' comin' t' beat h-1, too! We got t'
race, t' save anything!"
And race they did, but tine fire was
racing too; and when they drove their
panting 1 orsesintadhe__dnor-yardr.the
flames were only a few miles away
and coming down at lightning speed.
While Tom and Roy ,rsaddled their
ponies and rounded up their live -stock,
Mr Benedict and the three elder boys
and Bessie, in an incredibly short space
of time, put into the two wagons
everything that it was possible to save,
after which Hal and George saddled
their ponies, joined Tom and Roy with
the herd, and. the whole procession,
headed by two wagons, dri ven by Mort
and his father, moved off at a rapid
pace toward the river.
Then, and only then. did Mort notice
that there was no sign of human life
about the Walker place. His heart
gave a leap.
"Bess!" he said sharply; "did—did
they git away? Did ye notice 'em
mourn 'round?'
The girl's eyes opened wide. "0,
Mort 1 I haven't heard or seen a sign
of 'em all day!
"Take them reins. I'm goin' back
an' see."
He leaped from the wagon and ran
back, noting as he did so, how hot the
air had become and how near the big
wave of smoke was.
Mrs Walker, singing softly aslshe bust-
led about the kitchen, was a bit start-
led to see who her unannounced visit-
or was.
"Mis' Walker, where's all your men-
folk? No. I didn't come fer trouble—
only th's a prairie -fire only a little
ways off, an' comin' down like mad!"
Mrs Walker sank into a chair. "Oh,
heavens! An' father sick a -bed an' all
th' boys over t' Berry's on a breakin'-
bee!"
"Good Lord! Ain't I glad I come
back! Where's th' hosses?'
"O, Mort! They're all loose in the
pasture!"
"Git what things ye wantuh save
t'gether real quick! They ain't no
spare time." And Mort tore out of
the house like a madman, and down to
the pasture, not noticing that Nellie
had entered the kitchen and was star-
ing at him, open-eyed.
Both Mr Walker's wagon -teams
were composed of animals usually as
docile as lambs; but, to -day, bunched
together in a corner of the pasture,
they sniffed the corning flames, and it
seemed to put wild imps into their
lumbering carcasses, and it was a long,
trying time before Mort could catch
two of them, swear, try as he might—
and the great fire rolled swiftly near-
er. The wind had shifted from north-
east to north-west. Mort saw, with a
sinking at his heart, that there was an
even chance of getting cut off from
the river.
Mr Walker was on a feather -bed on
the floor of the wagon, and Mrs Walk-
er crouched beside him. Nellie ran
back into the house for the family
Bible, then climbed up beside Mort.
{ "Git upl Clk!" the heavy whip came
down hard on the horses flanks and
the race was begun.
Fast came the flames; the billow of
smoke rolled over them, now and then
dropping feathery grass cinders as it
passed; they could hear the roar of
the fire and feel its hot breath when-
ever the wind increased in velocity --
and Jim River so far away!
'Nearer came the great wave of flame;
the air was dense and suffocating.
Mort, in his frenzy, lashed the now

thar?"
The girl obeyed, and fell, rather
tban climbed, back into the box,
!!Mort Benedict's recollections of what
occurred after that are very dim. He
remembers driving deeper and deeper
into the terrible heat and smoke, of
tearing through a volume of flame
that seemed endless --flame that burn-
ed his eyes, his nostrils, bis throat,
and scorched bis hair and eyebrows --
then, with a final leap, the horses
dashed down the slope into the shal-
low river, and he knew no more.
When Mort awoke he could not for
some time realize where he was, and
lay for some minutes trying to remem-
ber. Oh, yes; he was in Will Berry's
room; He remembered the antlers
on the wall and the white curtains at
the windows. Someone. came in soft-
ly from the next room.
"Who is it?" he asked.
It was Nellie, and she came and lean-
ed over him. "It's me, Mort. I've
been here all the time. I thought ye
knew me sometimes. You've b'en
sick."
"Are ye here t' stay, Nell—always, I
Mean?"
She sat down on the edge of the bed
and put her hands on his shoulders.
"If ye want me to, Mort."
He drew ner face down to his, but
put her at arm's length presently.
"Bat how about the feud, Nell?"
"They ain't no more feud Mort."—R.

THE SPARHAM CASE.
Keon'ry LLL, July 24. Much, interest, is
felt by residents of this place in the case of
Mr F. Sparham, of Ottawa, to whom refer-
ence was made in an Ottawa despatch a
few days ago, as a sufferer delivered from
kidney disease by the use of Dodd's kidney
pills. Mr Sparham was born and brought
up here, and is well known and universally
popular. his friends here lead heard 'of
his illness and his failure to obtain relief
from all the medicines he tried before tak-
ing the pills. Their wonderful effect in his
o
case will make the remedy more popular in
this vicinity, for all now are fully aware of
its good properties.

' A very remarkable answer to prayer,
or a very startling coincidence, as one
may please to look at it is reported
from Jefremoff, Russia. The country
has been suffering from a prolonged
and disastrous drought, and a few days
since the bishop of the region gathered
his clergy and a great congregation of
people in the fields for an open air
supplication for rain. The day was
excessively hot and the sky disappoint-
ingly clear, but hardly were the pray-
ers concluded when heavy clouds gath-
ered, and in a few minutes a tremend-
ous thunderstorm was drenching the
earth with the longed -for and welcome
rain. With one accord, the Bishop
and people, in dripping garments; hur-
ried off to the church to hold a service
of praise and thanksgiving. Of course.
there are plenty of people who will say
that it was a mere coincidence, but it
certainly was a most remarkable one.
