Thence I had tramped back across

cultivation. By nine o'clock la the
morning I had seen all there was to
be seen in the process of thrash

the next means of getting back to
Fargo was by a freight train leaving
at about two o'clock. : i
JThere are no art gallerlesor cathe

I talked with the clerk In the
store, read some more, and cursed
ne rauroaa unxu nearlj two o'clock.
Then I sauntered over to the station,
and, after waiting a half hour for
the train, Inquired of the station
agent as to what time I could get
away.
He replied: "Not untjl the four
o'clock throuch freltrht comes. H Th
two o'clock waa a way freight and
had been delayed, he explained.
I moralized on the inconvenience
of travel in a new section of the
country, and set about using up an
other two hours. I found that I had
somehow got some spots of wheel
grease on my clothes and man
aged to spend a comparatively pleas
ant hour scrubbing out the spots
with naphtha at the town drug store.
Then I read some more. ' ' '
At four o'clock I went over to the
station again, and finally plucked up
courage to ask the rather Irritable
agent about the train. He AtltmtA
,to tell me, as if tired of seeing me
around, mat tne train wouldn be
along . until five. Now I had a com
panion in my misery, for a lady with
two little girls was waiting for the
next train to Fargo.
Our common annoy anoe served to
Introduce us, and we talked of the
harvesting and so on, I deriving!
Borne information, as she waa a resi
dent of the region. - At five o'clock
the train was not In sight, and the
station man positively refused to
know anything or to have any opin
ion as to the prospect of our get
ting away, i I offered the ladv mv
book, and sat aod reflected on the
happiness of life in that section, get
ting up occasionally to look out ucoa
the flat prairie to see if the train
bad yet risen above the horizon.
There was -nothing but the . two
rails stretching away, till they con
verged into one, and then that was
lost to the eve. '
Once in awhile the ladv and th
little girls got up to look. Finally
she announced that she cotAA sm
smoke in tho distance. ! .Uy eye
were , not so good, but we watched
eagerly, and after some minutes I
acknowledged with great pleasure
that she was right. We watched
the smoke solidify into a train, which
grew larger and larger, until at last
t rolled along, and at precisely six
o'clock the engine came to a stand
still a few feet beyond the station,
on a side track. The caboose in
tended for passengers was of course
at the rear 'end of the train, and
seemingly a quarter of a mile away.
By this time several men and boys
had gathered on the scene, appar
ently wishing to go to Fanro. No
one seemed to wunt to walk away
back to the caboose, and every one
waa very anxious not to iret left- At
this moment another freight 'train.
