Burton and Jones lived in a littlesbanty by theraselvo. Jones was amarried man, riuifinding it hnrd to support a wile in a tuvwflgprjiajps tiatemigrated to Northern Minnesota, leav-
ing his wife under ber father's roof untilbe should be able to make start. 1
He and Burton had gone into partnership and ,4had prt-empt- ad a townsite" of 320 acres.
There were perhaps twenty (amtlipsscaltered over - this site at the time mystory begins and ends, for it ends in thesame week is which it begins.. ThP: parties had disagreed, qnarreled,
and divided their interests. The landwas all shared between them, except onevaluable forty-acr- e piece. Each claimed. L ' I I 1 A . 1. . 1 I 1

termined, to shoot Jones if be came, andJones had sworn lo go out there andshout Barton, when the fight was post-poned bv the unexpected arrival ofJones' wife and child.
Jones' sbanty was not finished, and hewas forced to forego the luxury of fighting bis old partner in nis exertions tomake his wife and baby comfortable forthe night. For the winter eun was surrounded by "sun dogs.". Instead ot onesuch there waa four, an occurrence n6tuncommon in thai latuu.ie, oat onewhich always boded a terrible pi o ra-
in bis endeavor to care for his wifeand child Jones was mollified alittle.and
that be had been so vio-
lent about that piece of land. Bat hewas determined not to be "hacked out,and be. certainly would have to shootBurton or be shot himself.. : , ;
When he thought of the chance of br-
ing killed by bis old partner,tbe thoughtwas not pleasant. He looked wietfullyat Kitty, his two-year-ol- child,., anddreaded that she would be fatherless.Nevertheless, he would shoot or be shothimself. - 1 ' '
While the father ' was bisy choppingwood, and the mother was otherwise en-
gaged, little Kitty mannged to gel theshanty door open. There was no latch

most took away her bctath ; but she gotsight of the brown grass without, andthe new world seemed so big that thelittle feet were fain to try and exploreit. - : . ,. ,. ... -
She pushed out through the door,caught her breath again, anA started offdown a path bordered by sere gras andthe dead stalks of wild sunflowers. Howoften had she longed to escape from re-
straint and paddle out into the worldalone. She would find out where thepath .'went ' to and what there was at theend of the world ! ., What did she care ifher, nose was blue with cold and herchubby hands red as beets - Now andthen she pansed to turn ber head awayfrom the rode blast, a forerunner of thentofm hnt hnvincr cftsned a moment ahequickly ."renewod her. brave march insearch of the great unknown.
The mother misted ber and supposedthat Jones, wbo could not get enough ofthe child's society, . bad taken he littleone out with lnm., . . ,.; ,
Jones, ' poor fellow, sure that his darling was safe within, chopped away untilthat awful storm broke upon him and atlast drove htm, ed by snowand half-froz-en with cold,into the house.When ' there was nothing left but retreathe had seized an armful ot wood endcarried-- it into the house with him tomake safe" ttfaCThe Bad though to keepKitt and hi? wile f r6m frwztirigin thecoming awfulness of the night, whichnow 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 ftozen to death and Jones hall fled nonetoo soon.
When once the wood was stacked bythe Btove Jonea looked around for Kitty.He bad no more than inquired: for. Iterwhen father and mother each Tread in theother's face the fact that she was lost inthe wild, dashing slorm of snow.
So fast did tlie snow Tall, and so darkwa9 the night that J ones could not seethree feet ahead of bim He endeavoredto' follow tile path wuich he thought Kit-
ty might have taken, but it was buriedin snow-drif- t, and he soon lost himself.
He stumbled through the diifta, ca'-lin- g
out to Kitty in his distress; but notknowing whither te weut. After' anhour of despairing, wandering.and shout-in- g,
be came upou a house, and havingwiaitped at the door, he : found himselfface to face with his wife.
" He hnd returned to his own house inhis hewildeiment. --
When wfi remember that Jones hadnot slept for two nights preceding thisone, on account of his moral quarrelwith Burton, and he had now been hea'ing against an arctic hurricane and tram01112 lurougn treacherous, owows otsnow for an hour, we cannot wonder thathe fdl over his own threshold in a stateof extreme exhaustion.
Happv f r bim that he did not fall bewildered on the prairie, as many anotherpoor wayfarer did on that fatal night.
Ai it. wa, his wife must needs eive upthe vain little pearches she had been oiaking in the neighborhood of the shantyShe had now a sick husband with fr-z?-
hands and feet and'face to care for. Everyminute the therm meter fell lower andlower, and a'l the heat tho cook-stov- e inJones' little sliactv n uld give wouldhardly keep tbem frcm derz ng.
Burton had stayed upon that fortyacre lot all day, waiting for a chance toahoot his old partner Jones. He hadnot. heard of the arrival of Jones' wife,and so he concluded that his enemy hadproved a coward and had left him inpossession, er elBe that he meant to play
him some treacherous trick on his wayhome.
So Burton resolved to keep a sharplookout. But he soon found that im-
possible, for the storm was upon him inall its fury. ' He tried to follow the path,but conld not find it.
Had he been less of a frontiersman hemust have perished there, within a fur-
long of his own house. But in hisefforts to kepp the direciion of the pathbe heard a smothered cry, and then sawsomething rise up out of the snow, andfall down again. He raised his gun toshoot it, when the creature uttered an-
other wailing cry so human that be putdown his gun and went cautiously for-

It was a child. '
He did not remember that ttiera wassticti a" child among all the settlers' inNewtonJ But be did not - etop to astrquestions. He mnst, without delay. gethimself, and the child, too. to a place ofsafety, or both would be frozen.
So he took the little thing in his armsand started through the drifts. And thechild put its little icy fingers on Burton'srough cheeks and muttered "papa!"And Burton held her closer and oughtthe snow more courageously than ever.
He found the shanty at last, and rolledthe child in a buffalo robe while he madea fire. Then, when he got the room alittle warm, be took the little thing uponhis knee, dipped her aching fingers incold water, and asked her what her namewas."Kitty," she said. :
" "Kitty," he said, "and what else ?'" :
"Kitty," ahe answered, ,nor could hefind out anv more.
"WhdseKiity'arc'your" ::r
"Your Kitty," she said. For she hadknown her father but that one day, andnow slie believed that Burton was he
Burton sat up all , night and i stuffedwood into his impotent little stove tokeep the baby from freezing to deathNover having had to do with children,he firmly believed that Kitty, sleepingsnugly under blankets and buffalo robes,would freeze if he should let the firesubdue in the least.
As the storm prevailed with unabatedfury the next day, and as he dared nei-
ther to lake Kitty out nor to leave heralone, he staved by her all day and stuffed the stove with wood, and laughed atber droll baby talk, and fed ber on biscuit and dried bacon and coffee.
On the morning of the second daythe storm bad abated. It ' was 40 de-
grees cold, but knowing that somebodymust be, mourning for Kitty for dead,be wrapped her in skins, and with muchdifficulty reached the nearest neighbor'shouse, suffering ouly a frost bite on hisnose by the wav. . . .
"That child," said the woman towhose house he bad come,4,is Jones'; Iseed 'em take her oulen the wagon daybefore yesterday "
. , . ' ;
Burton looked at Kittv a moment inperplexity, then be roiled her Yp acrainand started out
"Traveling like mad," the woman saidas she watched "jim.
When he reached Jones he foundJones and his wife silting in wretchedness by the fire. They were both sickfrom grief, end unable to move out ofthe bouse. Kitty they bad given np forburied alive under the snow moundThey would find her when spring should
"
come and melt the snow cover off..'. When the exhausted Burton came inwith. his bundle of buffalo skins theylooked, .at him in amazement. But whenhe opened it and let out the li'lle Kitty,and said :
"Here, Jones, is this yer Kitty!"Mrs Jones couldn't ' think of anythingbetter to do thaa to. scream.
And Jones got up and took his oldpartner's band and 6aid : "Barton, olefellow!" and then. choked up and satdown, and cried helplessly.
Ann Burton said: "Jones, oie fellow.you may have that forty-ac- r patch: ; Itcome 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 tomake you." . . .r:.
And Jones actually deeded his interest in the forty acres to Burton.' ButBurton transferred It all to K'tty.
That is why this part" of Nawton today 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 , characteristic anecdote of the late 13 nperor Nicho-- 1
las. His Majesty happened one day tobe engaged iu inspecting a state peniten-tiary in one of the provincial sea's ofgovernment, and took it into bis headto question some of the convicts re-
specting the nature of the offenses forwhich they were suffering punishment."What are you here for," he .asked ofone "I am innocent. Imperial Majis- -
ty," replied the prisoner, falling on hisknees ; "a victim of false witness Achurch was robbed, a beadle knocked onthe head; the peasants caught hold ofme and I knew nothing about it." Turning lo another the Czar asked, "AndyouV" False witness again, ImperialMajesty A pedler was done for closeto my house. I never even dreamed o.puch a thing." "And you 1 ' said Nicholas to a third. "Sheer malice, sireOne of my neighbors conveyed a lot offorged notes into my poenets, and hi laway a lithographic stone in ray bedroo.n I am as innocent as an unbornbabe." The Emperor, obviously boredbv these auccessive protestations ofguiltlessness, cast a glance along theline of prisoners until his eve fell upona ragged, wretched-lookin- g eypsy,whom be beckoned forward with thewords, "Of course you, too, are here ona false charge ?" "Not a bit of it. YourMajesty," replied the Tsiean ; "it is allfair and fquare as 'ar as I am concerned. I stole a pony from a tradesman.'"Stole a pony, did you ?' said t e Czir,with a laugh, and then addressing thegovernor of the prison with well-a- s
surapd bternness, "Turn that good-fo- r
nothing rascal instantly out of doorsI cannot allow bim to remain a minutelonger in such honorable and virtuous"company, lest he pervert all these goodinnocent people!" ,

Dr. Scott, of Warren, the leading oldRoman of the Republican side, is stillon the floor furnishing thunder for thebatteries of Republicanism, and, by wayof change once in a while, making itwarm for those of his own persuasionwho, from the fact that they are younger;imagine that the old man was born toosoon and bas outlived his day of use-
fulness. " Personally he is a clever gen-tleman but a hitter partisan, as is provenby the statement made by him to a cor-
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,dhargmg the Democratic party with theresponsibility of the deficiency in theimonht of the appropriation bill of lastprinter. There will be a deficiency in thqmount appropriated for benevolent in
stitutions of the State of about 8100,-,fJ0-
which he claims is largely due tothe fact that some Democratic officialswere retained." Now the truth ii, thatsome of the olSciafs were retained duringthe months of March and April of lastyear, and, to refute his assertion, a pub-lished statement of the Auditor of S'ateshows that the cost of these institutionsis if any difference a little below theaverage for those two months.

The balls were close together , atthe right hand rail, a third of the lengthof the table from the head. Vignauxplayed leaning "over . the , corner . of thetable, his cue considerably elevated. Hemissed the first hall. The referee stoodclose to the aide of the table next toVignaux. and I was close to him.
.As
srs a'snoaas vignaux piayea ne picked uphis chalk and started away. Instantly80m1 Frenchman said something to hirain French, and he quickly wheeled aboutand rushed lo the spot where be wouldhave gone naturally had he counted. ,1raised my hand and said .'No conn','and the referee replied 'No count. Monsieur Vignaux. At once divers Frenchmen began crying out in French, .'Hecounted,' Mie counteV but the refereedirected me t play I settled down,took aim, and was about to play whenVignaux grabbed my cue and nearlyjerked it from my hands. The tumultin the audience was great, the Frenchshouling 'He counted !' and the English'Nj count!' Vignaux, with, a dozenFicnchmsn gathered round the referee,who commanded me not to play on penalty of forfeiting the match. The tumultincr aed, everybody was on his .feet,yelling, screaming, pushing, discussingand gesticulating. The referee disen-gaged himself from the crowd aroundb ra, moved closer to the table, put bishand on his heart, and when silence hadbeen restored fully five minutes after hesaid in a loud but tremulous voice, 'Idid not see the shot!' A thousand menwere on their feet in an instant, screaming at the top of their voices. Again acrowd . of Frenchmen rushed for thereferee.". Conspicuous among them was
An American cams towardsthe tablft at my solicitation to interpret,and the Frenchmen yelled, 'Put him out ('The Frenchmen cursed the Americans.and the Americans replied. 'Take hispocket-boo- k! Why 'don't tou? K)b-ber- y!
Don't plav, George! Liy vourens on the table!' and a thousand otherthings. Finally the referee decided thatthe shot couoted, this being diametricallyopposite to his first decision. I laid mycue on the table The excitement ba-car- ae
indescribable. Everybody exceptVignaux. who was delighted at the newturn of affairs, lost bis head. Had Ibeen permitted to play, all I needed tohave done was to pass the cue ball be-
tween the two objct balls, and then inone simple kiss shot 1 would have hadthem railed, long rail, natural way, andno doubt I would have run the gameout, lor 1 .was playing well and steady.Vignaux played and scored 75 and thgame went on until Vignaux won, hutnot fairly. Assisted by the referee, hestole the game from me. Piot and Mar-gin both say publicly he did not winfairly. Members of the Jockey Clubsilting iu the front row say he did notcount and should not have baen allowedto plav. Heaps of Frenchmen condemnhim. As for the referee, even with nearlyall Frenchmen be ia a dead cock " in the
'pit. When Vignaux made the last, shotlois of well-dress- Frenchmen huggedhim and kissed 'hira ' Some of themdime around me' and said, 'Three che rsfor Vignaux ' Fu'ly 10,000 people werein the court and ; in front of the hotelsinging the 'Marseillaise.

How Far Does the Sodnd o Cannon Travel?, :' :f:"i i'! ?.;
To the Editor of the Seientifla American:The battle of Bunker Hill .was fought
June 17, 1770. 1 he. sound of the. cannon Qsed in the engagement was dis-
tinctly beard by persons on tho Deer- -field River on the east side of HoosickMountain, where now is the town" ofCharlemont, Mass , the distance beingone hundred and twenty miles.,
cThis is
asserted in "The , Memoirs of Capt.ismuel Roberts." a rare work, printed
at "Bennington, Vt , 180?.. Capt, Robertowas an officer in the army .of the revo- -
ution. He says : "We , were surprisedat the hearing of a heavy cannonadefrom a great distance, which, proved tobe 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 .StatesFlotilla of Delaware, Lieut. Samnel An-
gus commanding, and some British shipsthat were in the bay. The oopfiict transpired near Cape May, not far from aplace called Crows Shoals. The firingof the cannon was heard by many . persons at Washington city ; tho distanceof which from the scene of action in adirect line is one hundred and twentymiles. This is recorded as "A CuriousFact" in Vol. 2, No. 9, page 40, of TheWar, published weekly at New York,1812-1- 3.
'
These cases are well authenticated.The cannon conld not have been eolarge as those now in use. Are theresimilar instances on record? And howfar distant can the report of the heaviestcannon be heard?
