Ptoeky Nelly's
Good Fortune.
A Love Story ot Red Cloud With
Well Known Characters ot
Our City.
"I should think you would get most
infernally tired of fingering that writ
ing machine all day," Mr. Benton said
iu his abrupt western style, to his
pretty niece, ono morning, a few days
after his arrival in New York on his
tirst visit to the great metropolis,
where Nelly Benton was employed in
tho capacity of an amanuensis by a law
linn.
"Oh, I do sometimes," Nelly answer
ed. Nelly had boon iu the city since
tlm death of her father, two years be
fore. Having taken tho littlo patri
mony of two hundred dollars and with
a determination to win her own way In
the world, sho had taken a course in a
business college nud litted herself for
the position she uow occupied.
There was another reason why our
heroine was eager to make money. In
the little town whore sho was born and
before death had darkened her homo,
she had listened to the words of love
from the lips of Arthur Lewis, who
from childhood had been herplaymato,
claMsaate and boy:lover, and promued
that after be should gradual frwra'tae
Allege ha was wbrkfajf his way
through, she would became his bride.
Arthur would graduate in a fow weeks
aud then tako up the study of law.
Nelly had made up her mind that by
tho time Arthur was admitted to the
bar, she would have nioaey enough
saved to commonco married life. Then
they would go west and settle and shit
would become the amanuensis of
Arthar.Lewis, sosho built air castles, as
her hanilsomo tapering lingers struck
witli rapidity aud precision tho keys of
tho typewriter.
As related above, lier unelr, of whom
she had scarcely over heard, had como
from thu west after an absence of
thirty years to visit his brother. Oh
arriving at tint old liniun, ho learned
for the tirst time that, his brother was
iload and that, tho only relative he had
in tho world was Nolly Benton, who as
thu neighbors said, had gone down to
Now York after hor father died, to
suiuy snorinanii. So ho wont to tho
city and found hor and ho determined
at once, to atone for his long negluctof
his relatives bv giviag his pretty niece
a homo if sho would go west with him.
So he broached tho subject and was
surprised to get an emphatic refusal.
By close questioning lie learned the
reason. "Well, well, Nelly, you and I
are all that's left of the Beutons, and I
don't see any sense in yourstaylughere
and me out in Nebraska, I toll you
what 1 will do, you send for that fel
low of yours and if ho has got a lick of
sense I will make it mighty interesting
for him. I have got to go homo next
week, so send for him right away, I
want to son him, anyhow."
Ou receipt of a letter from Nelly,
Arthur came- io tho uity ana was intro
duced to his future rolatlve. Mr. Ben
ton was highly pleased with Arthur,
and tho morning he was to leave for
school, startled the young couplo with
a proposition that they got married at
once and go with him to Red Cloud.
"If you will," he said, "I'll set you up
in housekeeping in tho best of style. I
want some one to help mo look after
my ranch aud town properties."
Tho upshot of this interview resulted
in a qulot wedding, and Blauk & Co,,
were in nccil.of n, now umanuonsis.
"We'll take a wedding tour to Red
Cloud," Mr. Benton said, whurothey
arrived in duo time. "Now we are
homo," said Mr. Benton, "wo will go to
the Holland house, iu thk hotol In
these parts. Tho proprietor, h. D.
Oatman, Is one of my old friouds. Ho
lis a thorough business mau and

son; the attendants nro imliti, nml
know their business aud I havo always
noticed ,that tho drummers act as If
they nro in mighty good luck if they
can Sunday at the Holland."
Tho next morning Uncle Will, as wo
will boi rafter call him, suggested that
they proceed at once to tho looking up
and furnishing of a home. I will tirst
get a team and we will tako a ride
about town. While driving rapidly
back to tho hotel, Nelly, who was an
ardent admirer of fine horses and
fashionable turnouts, inquired whoso
team nnd carriage they wore using.
'Why, this outllt," said Undo Will,
comes f i inn only one place in town C.
M. Smith, proprietor of the city livery
barn. , Smith is a genuine liveryman,
his stjlish turnouts are tho admiration
of all who havo occasion to hiru rigs
and I toll you, Arthur, if you over have
occasion to niako a quick trip and
want ti safe drivor and a speedy team,
or want a team fed and taken care of,
bo suro and call on CM. Smith and
you will get what you want.
"Now, for furniture," said Uncle
Will. - "Wo will go to F. V. Taylor.
"Oh, mvl" said Nelly. "What a
beautiful display?" as they entered
this popular establishment and glanc
ed at the large stock of bedroom, par
lor, library and dining room sets. A
complete outfit for every room was
quickly purchased including brio-a
brao, eurfains, draperies and pictures.
The M4 was necessarily a Israe one
hut tho prices were so low that Uacle
Will settled tho account with the re
mark: -"I fully expected to pay 1100
more for this outfit."
Again tho party wore on the street.
"Hello," said Uncle Will, "camo very
near forgetting to introduce you to
Aiitciiou iiros., tuo uaruwaro men.
Come, wo will look their establishment
over now." Kntcring the store, which
was a fiorfoet bee-hive, Unclo Will
enthusiastically said: "I tell you Micro
Is not a hardware house in this county

There were many things te buy and
Nellie commenced on tho first article

waro store was iu tho hill when Nelly
got through and prices, well, Mitchell
Bros, aro never undersold, that's the
long anil skorlof it. Tho old gentle
man also purchased u lot of the hog
and poultry wire netting on salu there
and an outfit of now screen doors the
price being lower than nay other store
in town.
' "I believe I will just settle that wed
ding present business right hero," saiil
Unclo Will, as ho oponod tho door to
Penman's jewelry store. "What will
(the; a gold watch, a diamond ring, or
a necklace. Namenuythlngyouwaut,"
said the old gentleman recklessly.
Nelly chose a beautiful gold watch.
"Hero is the place to buy your silver
ware, too," said Unlo Will, "as none
but guaranteed goods aro carried. Aud
as for clocks Arthur, you will want
one of those handsome, eight-day
pieces for your mantel, when you get
to housekeeping, supposing you buy it
now." Accordingly the clock wasadded
to the list of purchases. The old gen
tlemnn declared that his eyes were giv
ing him a great deal of trouble of late.
Mr. Penman boing a graduate of the
South Bend, Indiana, College of
Opticians and having all thoappliances
accessary soon tilted him a pair of
lenses just suited to his ueed.
"My dear," Bald Arthur to Nelly as
they stopped from tho juwelry storo,
"yoa are needing a few dry goods, and
if Unclo will show us a first-class storo
you make the purchase now and wo
will order them sent to the hotel.
"All right," said Undo Will, "I will
show you the most complete dry goods
bargain house in Red Cloud."
Of course ho took them directly to
Dnokers Cash Dry Goods House where
Nolly had full chance to display her
tastes and fancies in dress goods, laces,
embroideries, spring wraps, etc.

when Nolly with u,lirli turned toward
the door.
"Well, while Nolly is talking stylos
wo will surprisu her with llttinc our-
solve out with new clothing. Como
with mo to C. Wieners' tho IcatUnc
clothier of the citv. Mr. Wlennr la
closing .out I learn, ho expects to soon
remove to New York. There nro bar
gain galore on his counters now and
we will itvnil ourselves of them." After
entering this well known storo It was
only a few minutes until uncle nud
nephew were lilted out 'with brand
now business suits, cqunl to those
shown iu tlu eastern cities.
Arthur expressed Ills -urprlso at the
immensity of tho stock carried nml the
wonderfully low pr cos on tho goods.
They being ns well made nnd much
cheaper than slmlliar goods in thu
cities of Now Enoiaud. Ho also In.
vented lu half u dozen shirts, a now hat
and u complete outllt of underwear and
shoes. Leaving the clnMiingstoro they
visited tho harness shop of J. O. Butlor
where Uncle Will had loft an order for
a new harness just before going east.
Butlor is an artist in horse decorations,
I assure you," said the old gentleman,
"and ho employs none but skilled
workmen. He commenced here seven
years ago nud his business has been
won on merit of goods and courteoas
trratmnuti" -' v a
"When I bring that throttiag filly of
mine in town for Nelly, you should buy
your harness nnd robes of this estab
lishment." After settling for the har
ness unlmed some weeks before, tho
gentlemen again wont on tho street.
Mr. Butler makes all his harness him
self aud one kuows when they buy of
him thoy nro gutting thovoty best hand
mado goods.
Thu gentlemen then walked down to
Jas. Peterson's caningu repository,
"You will want a phaoton or buggy
for Nolly and u good road wagon for
yourself when spceilnfg tho lllly," tho
old gentleman stated, "nnd hero is the
place to got them. This enterprising
linn carries n complete lino of Stude
baker buggies and wagons." In a
trice a ileal was mado for a phaeton
anil road wagon nnd when Mr, Ronton,
remembering that It would bo nocos
sary to buy a now soi of implements
for one of his farms, ordered n com
plete line of machinery Including a
famous Ohio cultivator and a McCor
mlck binder. Rnturniag to Duckers
for Nolly thoy found her waiting for
lliem.
"Arthar," said Nolly, "I shall bo
obliged to got mo a now bonnet before
wo can go to church next Sunday. I
wonder if Uncle Will lias got a milliner
that ho can recommend."
Her uncle took the hint and straight
way led the way to Mrs. S. ILMcBride's
millinery store and introduced Nelly to
the proprietor. "This house has a well
established reputation as tho leader,"
said Unclo Will, aud Nolly uluntred
into buying at once, and If ever a lover
of tho beautiful was delighted at tho
array of stylish millinery shown, that
person was Nolly.
'there is no telling how largo a bill
sho would havo mado if the gentleman,
who bad rotlred after the introduction,
had not returned and cautioned her to
hurry. As it was, she ordered hats and
bounds to match her now dresses.

When tho gentleman stepped to the
street Uncle Will deliberately turned
aouiu w mo corner ami then east to
MorrislStern'saloon. "I want a glass
of good beer ho said aud Sterns is tho
oosi piace in town t got it. I know
you don't object to a glass of beer and
I want to introduce you to Stern, a
thorough gentleman and one who runs
an emlnontly rospectablo place. His
brands of liquors nnd cigars are the
best kept in Red Cloud." After Intro,
duoiug his nephew to Mr. Stern and

gentleman passed out.
"Well, I declare," snid Arthur, "its

"If there is ono thing more than an
other about tho so-called domestic,

so many households that I can't under

proceeded down tho street; "It is the
