He flung the door open and she en-

Soon, after the horse was provided for,
they had tea; it put more life into the
woman, and she told John that she had
come to Turkey creek canyon TO take up
a claim. She had not been afraid TO
travel alone. but the storm had caught
her, and, thanks to him, sne was safe.

Christmas morning broke. The storm
had passed. The sun laughed in the
heavens and the sky was blue as If il
were June. They stood on the door
step and viewed the splendid panorama.
Then they went into the house. John
sat en- the bed and whitfield; the woman
had insisted on getting breakfast. The
exercise flushed her cheeks, and John
stole furtive and admiring chances at
her. She was vaguely like somebody
he had seen before.
They sat down, one on each side OF
the table. She heaped his plate, and
then she leaned her head on her hand,
and her face paled and her voice
trembled.

Then he crossed quickly to her and

while as if palsy-stricken.
"Why, Dorothyl Dotty" he said,
'they told me you had died of fever in
the marshes-that was long ago-more
than twenty years. Have you come
back to life again, Dotty, like them

Lionel looked at the bill in dumb as
constituent; If an angel had come in and
clapped him on the shoulder be would
not have been more surprised, for it was
fifty-dollar bill.
"But, SIR" be stammered, II have
been with you so short time, have
not merited such consideration"
That's all right, sir. You'll have
ample opportunity to make it up in your
future years Of service, for do not in
tend to part with so faithful an assist
ant
There was more in the manner than
in the kind deed itself. and Lioneps
heart bounded up with gratitude. He
thought OF Mary and of the many, many
uses the money could be put to, warm
blankets, the winter cloak Mary had
needed for years, and-but his face
fell. There was a dunning letter in his
pocket at that moment which he had
concealed from Mary-from the holder
of note against him for fifty dollars
and peremptorily demanding payment.
No, no. it would be wrong to appro-
pirate one dollar OF the gift for personal
needs Mr. Dale was a shrewd reader Of
faces, and Lione's thin, anxious face
had appealed to his sympathies strongly
since he had entered the office. and he
noted the change of expression.
what is it, Webb?" he said, kindly.
"You look depressed and troubled"
As Lionel heard the kind voice and
looked into the kind face an impulse
came to him TO tell this man his troubles.
1t was so hard to bear it alone and to
wear smiling face over a heart so filled
with anxious care, and hardly knowing
what he said, he poured out his story Of
the past, of Mary and Of her pitiful
shopping to-day. 1T hurts me so, Mr..
Dale" be said, in conclusion, that l
can not use even dollar OF your gener-
GUS gift for her"
"fIow much now would cover this en-
tire indebtedness?' asked Mr.. Dale.
He was drumming thoughfully on his
desk and looking keenly at Lionel, not
in blame or in doubt of the truth of his
story, but in making an effort to put
himself in another's place.
Fifteen hundred dollars would pay
every dollar"
Mr.. Dale refiected-in the light of his
millions the sum seemed very trifle;
yet here was man whose strength and
happiness were being wasted for the
lack of it, What would yon say, then,
IL should loan you this money and let
you work it out gradually as you can
afford it?''
Say sirl should work on wings, it
would make my heart SO light"
"Then put on your wings" returned
Mr.. Dale, smiling, "for Wen have the
matter arranged at an early date. And
now go home and spend this money for
Mary and the children with a clear con-
science"
Mary was filling the stockings when
Lionel came home and, poor soul, she
had evidently been shedding tears over
the task.
A pretty ruche and ribbon for Jennie,
and pair of stockings and winter
gloves for Amy, the merest necessities
amid the ocean of lovely, tempting
things she had seen that day; pair of
warm gloves for Lionel which he would
not buy for himself lay in her bureau
drawer, and there hal been just enough
left to buy u small chicken for the
Christmas dinner, for turkey was not

He flowed he'd go West; and he went.
Nearly thirty years later learned
more Of Johnny Roach's life and fort
unes.
I'll try to tell it story-wise.
1t was Christmas eve, at Saw-Mill
Gulch. Johnny lived near there. He
had gone West to be sheep-raiser so
he pre-empted a claim in Turkey creek
canyon, built cabin, and settled him
self to hold down" three hundred and
twenty acres
Here he lived with Tab as his only
companion Tab was a cat. He had
taken her in one stormy night, poor,
starved creature; now she was fat and
lazy.
1t was Christmas eve, and Johnny was
lonesome. Tab was asleep, so she was
no company to speak of.
Tab, said John, at last, 1T takes q
thunderin' lot OF sleep to do>you-but /
don't know but as you're right"
just then, above the roaring of the
storm, arose a fearful cry, as of one call
ing for help. Once, twice. it rang out
with awful clearness and then died
away, as if in an agony of despair.
The cat walked, jumped toward her
master and mewed as she looked up into
his face.
John took down the old musket and
fingered the lock, listening intently all
the while
Again that shrill, imperative yet i'm
ploring cry. II wsSa human voice.
The man swore as he thought how he
had been deceived into thinking that
call for help the shrek of wild beast
He drew on his fur cap and great coat,
lighted his lantern and strobe forth into
the dreadful night. You stay here,
Tab and keep house, he said, soothing
", TO the cat, as he shut the door of his
cabin.
Down the mountain he sprang, sure
footed as chamois The storm in
creased in intensity every moment, and
it was very cold. He kept on doggedly
like himself-until he came to a mar
row point in the canyon, where the wag-
on track was crowded into the creek and
there was only room for a wagon to pass
by closest driving.
He looked upon strange scene.
A buck board" was there, turned
over. the horse attached to it Law, har-
ness-tangled, in the water, and a woman
sat bolt upright on a bowlder near by,
afraid to move for fear of plunging into
the creek; and doing the only thing she
could using her lungs.
John put down his lantern. waded to
the rock. lifted the woman in his strong
arms and carried her back across the
torrent 10 the narrow path.
IL reckon | can walk now" she then
said. sharply.
Don't be too sure about that" John
answered, but he put her down, for she
was tall, and heavy, and besides 1t was
