engaged worki ing in the mine when the
frightened runaway suddenly appeared
before him. Without permitting AN ex-
preston of surprise to escape him, the
partner remarked:
"Well, Sam, guess this is all we can
do to-day let us 60 down to the cabin. "
Carson walked along quietly to the
house. He showed signs Of the severe
effects of his four days exposure,
and when he returned to h's mine IN
the gulch he was minus the blanket:

will carry him through the danger tn
his system that must result from the
privstiOn endured while unsneltered In
