tains on either side A few days
since as the men were sitting in
their cabin they heard low, rum
bling noise coming from the Hill at
the left Of them, and Immediately
experimenting the cause, dashed out
of the building, endeavoring to es-
cape. The whole mountain side
was one moving, tumbling mass of
snow gliding with tremendous force
toward the cabin, swapping off great
trees like somany twigs. It struck

and burying it beneath many feet Of
snow. Winterhoff, who was in adj
vance of Sporting, managed to reach
the opposite side Of the gulch in
safety, but Sporting was nowhere to
be seen. Winterhoff Immediately
went in search Of his partner and
found his boot sticking out of the
snow. "Goot Himmill" said Fred
in relating the circumstances, sven

giant, und | begin to pull like one
steam engine. Bine by he come a
fiddle and ven he gets to speak be
crys: 'Goot Got! Fred, you vos
pulled me in two times, dots worse
as ten snawslides, but | got him

1t was a narrow escape for Sper-
ling, who but for the timely aid Of
his partner must soon have suffo-
Gated
Three days later when the snow
was removed from the cabin their
cat and dog were found curled up
under the stove alive and happy
