ting before the pleasant fire having a
farewell chat, when suddenly in burst
one of the maids.
"Mrs. Blyster, she said, in an agi-
tated voice, s'the Doctor wants you
right away. There's carpenter lives
back here on the little back street, and
he's fell off roof. Oh! it's awful. saw
him, and mebbe he'll get well an meb.
be he won't"
Mrs. Blyster's rosy face grew percep.
bly paler and her comfortable hand fell
cold as it touched mine.
"It's him, miss. Mr.. Grip" she
checked herself, "but likely that amt
his name. And, miss, do believe
there's Providence in it, and here I'm
a-goin', to find out his name without a.
havin' to put on my gums at all; but,
mercy!" for she had suddenly realized
that this was no time to ruminate, 81
hope he amt a-goin' to die. He amt il
good nursin' IL a-save him! Good-by,
miss-yes, III call up to Simses some
times. Bless your heart" and Mrs.
Blyster was gone.
So I went back again to school. The
fever had not spread and every thing
was as quiet and stupid as ever. Some.
times letters came, and | spent the va
cation with my mothers friends in
distant place. I forgot almost that
had ever had the scarlet fever or had
been under the care of good, efficient
Mrs. Blyster. The fall term began and
Thanksgiving was close upon us wher
Peggy entered my room one day anC
handed me a card upon which wa:
printed, sN1rs. Sarah Blyster."
Then it all came back to me, and
rushed into the reception room to give
the good creature a loving embrace
which quite upset her, and made her
wipe her kindly susceptible eyes-and
to ask, the first thing: elbows the car
penter that was hurtp"
Mrs. Blyster blushed violently and
said with a shipper:
"You hain't a-forgot, sure's / live.'
"Of course haven't, 1 said, warmly.
"I take great deal of interest in my
fellow beings, in spite of your thinking
1 don't. How is hep"
"Law, miss, he want hurt so awful
bad; STILL" raising her eyebrows and
looking serious, " he a0as pretty sick for
a while, and he broke leetle bone in
his foot, which makes him rather lame. u
"But what's his nameP" interrupted
impatiently.
"That's it," said Mrs. Blyster, i'm
pressively. "Wasn't it strange enough
you should a-said CrippenP 1 knew
'twant no common name, and it amt.
It's Crimpton; now don't that sound
mostly like CrippenP'
cit does, indeed" said, trying to
look as amazed as felt that l ought to.
"But how did you get alongP"
"Oh!" blushing again, 1--WE got along
first-rate, and that's what 1 come to tell
you. We-that is-well, miss-I de-
clare" and good Mrs. Blyster looked
like fifteen-year-old girl with her first
beau, 81 come a-expectin' to ask you il
you would do us the honor, you havin'
a-known all the circumstances from the
start, to-to-'' ..
"To what?" I cried, as interested as
Mrs. Blyster herself.
"Well, if you must know-its pleas
ant room you know, with the rag carpet
and clock a-tickin', and we're goin to be
married there Thanksgivin' day. 'Tain't
been year yet, but he needs me, bein
lame, you know-and mebbe you'll come
to the weddin."
You may be sure that l went.

Besieged by a Bear.

A few days since G.. W. Colby, the
prominent rancher of Nord, had an ad-
venture in the mountains which gave.
proof to the saying that bear-hunting is
all right so long as you hunt the bear,
but it's mighty poor sport when the
bear hunts you. He had taken his fam
lily to one of his ranches near the Butte
meadows for short season of rest, and
being an ardent sportsman he took
along splendid gun, some dogs and
plenty of ammunition. For two or
three days he tramped around the hills,
but found the game rather scarce. But
on his next hunt he had all the sport
he wanted, and seasoned with Just
enough excitement to make it Interest,"
ing. He had gone out late in the after
noon and in few moments managed
to bag good-sized bear While gloat-
ing over his prize he was Mortified To-
hear some furious growls, and, turning
round, saw not ten feet distant another
huge varmint" making straight for
him. He instantly dropped his gun
aud Skinned up a small sapling with all
the agility of monkey. The bear had
him freed, and after snufling the dead
body of its mate he gave some frightful
yells and came to the tree and camped
for the night. 1t was case of siege,
and things looked squally. The night
was cold end dark, and Mr. Colby's po-
sition was anything but agreeable, but
ne troze to his elevated perch like grim
death to the negro. He was kept there
all night and well along into the next
day, when his tyrant became frightened
at something aud left for the brush.
Mr.; Colby at once left the spot and now
looks for smaller game. Chico (CoL)

about roads. BY the way of Benton

very good. Senator Vance drove
