ii cannot leave my sheep, sir" re-

the forest, and be eaten bY wolves, or

"Well, vha. of tba,?' queried the
hunter. They are not your sheep.
The loss Of one one or more wouldn't be
much 60 jour -.-..-, .nd I'll give yon
more than you have earusd 10 whole

If I we're to sell my time which does no,
belong to me, and TIE sheep should get

them"
"Wsll," said the hunter, "will you
trust me with your sheep while you 90

them for you"
The boy shook his head. "The sheep

Gerhart now offered the contents Of his

was, ate it gladly. Presently bis attend

The 9th Of October, 1897, will long be
remembered among the Labrador fisher.
men On that day an awful hurricane
ragged along the coast. One of the fish
ing vessels. with a large number of men,
women and children, on board, was
olught in the storm, and tried hard to
ride out Of the hurricane. After q few
hours of fearful suspense, she dragged
her anchors, al d was driven on shore.
With great diliculty, oil on board was
safely landed. Drenchcd with rain,
blinded by snow drifts, sh,vsring in the
cutting blasts, they found themselves on
an uninhab,ted part Of tho coast, the
nearest huts being five miles distant.
the gloomy night closed 10 as the last
Of them were dragged ashore from the
wreck. Their only hopc lay in endevor.
ing to reach the distant huts, and in the
darkness and storm they staggered.
Who can picture the horrors of that
night Of suffering to this forlorn band.
When the morning broke out, nine
teen Of them lay dead along the shore.
A group of three women and two chill
dren, clasped in one auother's arms, and
half buried in mud, was found oil stiff
aud stark in the icy embrace OF death.
During the darkness and confusion Of
landing, q family Of four young children
we're separated from sher parents. who
sought for them in vain, aud at length
gave them up for lost.
A boy Of fourteen hearing the cries Of
these poor little ones, and finding that
they mad no guide or protection. resolved
to do what be could 20 save their lives.
To reach the huts with them being i'm
possible, he made the sh,voriug children
lie down, locked in each others arms
