strain told upon his exhausted vitality.
It was over now, however, and the
sheep were safe. There was store of
hay stacked in the inclosure ready for
such emergencies as the present one, and
feeding his flock.
By the time this was accomplished the
little daylight there had been that day
had entirely failed, and thick murky
darkness reigned everywhere, although
it was only about o'clock. When Mar
tin and his dog set out on their home
ward journey, the former had almost to
grope his way out of the Enclosure, and
only the instinct of Rover kept him on
the right path. The snow was coming
down softly, but pitilessly, wrapping
everything in a white and rapidly thick
ening sheet and fast obliterating every
familiar landmark.
On an ordinary occasion the old shep-
herd could have found his way home
blindfolded, SO we'll acquainted was he
with every foot of the road. But his
strength had utterly deserted him, and
every step he now took was with great
and increasing effort. The cold appear
ed to grip his heart as with hand of
iron and to arrest his laboring breath.
At last he stumbled and fell at the foot
of great bowlder. He could go ne
farther. Nature had completely given
out.
Then all at once he remembered that
if this drowsy slumber which was COM
ing on did creep over his senses he was
certainly done for All, yes! But he
had that in his breast pocket that would
give him new life.
Yes, it was all right. He had not for
gotten it. His heavy eyes lighted up
with Il momentary CLEAN Of pleasure as
he drew out Il fiat bottle containing per
haps half Il gill Of raw whisky.
Nobody could blame him for taking it
now. He would do it to save his life
only for that. Without some fresh ac-
cess or strength and energy he would
not be able to move hand or limb. The
lethargic condition was gaining upon
him, and resistance was scarcely posi-
BILE unless the fiery spirit should stimu-
late his vitality. Come, there was some
good in the stuff yet if it saved a mans
life!
Accordingly he drew out the cork Of
the bottle with his teeth, and the strong
odOr rose gratefully to his nostrils. He
had q right to it this time.
Suddenly q voice appeared to come out
of the darkness and the storm-a voice
that made him pause in the very act Of
drinking:
What good is his life? 1t doesn't
benefit one living creature-not even
HIMSELF"
He trembled with more than cold, and
his hand fell from his mouth. Who said
that? God or the devil?
Whoever said it, it was true-fatally.
miserably true! A great horror Of him
self and loathing Of the life he was
about to try and preserve, an infinite
pity and tenderness for the girl whose
young existence had been blighted
through his shameful fault-all this
came to him at that moment. Like an
overwhelming wave swept the accumu-
lated misery and disgrace and remorse
of years over the soul Of the poor drunk
ard. Then sudden access of fury
seized upon lin, and with the last feeble
remnant of his strength he threw the
bottle away. 1t rolled down the side Of
the fell and buried itself fathoms deep
in snowdrift at the foot.
The sheep were safe, and Martin the
shepherd slept. Magazine.
