fireplace in the living-room, drinking
their coffee after late dinner. The
lights were not lit and the party sat in
the Pickering light of a big fire of
cracking pine logs, which threw out
quaint shadows in every direction. This
party was the usual one that yearly
gathered at Jack Ralston's to spend the
Christmas holidays with him and his
family. AS they. sat in the cheerful
warmth and glow of the fire they lis
tened to the fearful storm that roared
outside. A blizzard had been raging for
the past three days; the wind howled
and shrieked through the mountain
peaks, driving the fast-falling snow be-
fore it and piling it up in immense
drifts against every obstruction. 1t
was bitter, biting, cold wind, too, as it
tore through the valley like a demon
seeking whom it might destroy, doing
its utmost to completely bury the house
from view in the snow; but, sheltered
as it was by two. giant rocks, one on
each side, with the mountain-side at its
back, the house was safe, in it's snug lit
tie spot, even from the storms greatest
fury. The inclement weather had kept
the men indoors, and they were grum-
bling over their enforced idleness, and
Dragged about the amount of game
they would have bagged had they only
been able to get out.
''Say, Jack, it's some time yet before
midnight. Can't you spin us yarn?''
finally said Bobby Caruthers, after a
long pause in the conversation.
''Well, I was just thinking," said
Jack, ''of just such night as this,
fifteen years ago, when, if lit had not
been for the pluck of that little woman
yonder, would not be here tonight to
see the New Year come in," and he
gazed fondly at his wife, who still
looked like a young woman as she sat
in the Pickering light, although on one
side sat her son, a fair young giant, and
on the other her daughter, beautiful
girl just blossoming into womanhood.
''Let's have it," came in chorus from
the party.
well, fill your pipes, and I'll tell
you my story. You see, fifteen years
ago, wasn't as prosperous as 1 am
now. was just starting out ranching,
had only been here some three years,
then, and where this house now stands
we only had small log cabin. Young
Jack over there was only six years old
at the time, and Miss Ruth was trotting
round. young three-year-old. The
winter had opened badly; snow had
come very early, and with it bitter cold
weather. We had plenty of fuel, so we
managed to keep warm enough. The
cabin was in the same spot as this
house now is, so the two big rocks
helped to keep off the fiercenessI Of the
wind; but we were completely buried
under the snow, SO that we had to dig a
tunnel from the front door out into the
open air. Myself and all the boys were
kept mighty n taking forage out to
spots where the title could get to it,
and so not stast to death. Well, one
morning, abog two weeks before
Christmas, after q heavy snowfall, ]

cattle together as much as possible, and
to build some large hay.stacks, so that
they would have plenty OF food FOL

in favor of the best medicine in the
world that may not be said of the
most worthless. In one case, it's
true; in the other, it isn't;-but how
can you distinguish?
Judge by what is done. There's
only one blood-purifer that's guar
anteed. It's DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery-and this is what
is done with it; if it doesn't benefit
or cure, in every case, you get your
money back. Isn't it likely to be
the best?
All the year round, as we'll at one
time as another, it cleanses and pur-
ifies the system. All blood-poisons
must 60. For Dyspepsia, Bilious
ness, Scrofula, Salt-rheum, letter,
Erysipelas, or any blood-taint or dis
order, it is an unequaled remedy.
It's the cheapest, too. With this,
you pay only for the good you get.
And nothing else is "just as good"
1t may be better-for the dealer.
But he isn't the one that's to be
