DEAD MANS FIND." "
BY N. QUAD.

sls% tion.l
It was along in November that Tom
and I discovered indications" at a spot
in the Pinyon mountains of Nevada and
started drift. We didn't intend to put
in more than aweek's work-just enough
to develop the "fnd" and load up with
specimens for assay-but after four or
five days Tom was taken sick. Winter
was already at hand, with foot Of snow
on the ground.
If you have never been among the
western mountains, I may tell you that
at about the middle Of December, after
winter has seemingly shut down, there
comes what is called a "chinook"-a
warm wind off the Paci6c-which melts
the snow and stands the season off for a
week, as it were. We had calculated to
take advantage Of this break to get out
of the mountains, but fate willed it 9th
erwise. Tom was New Englander,
rough and rugged. He hadn't been sick
day since be could remember, and his
sudden breakdown was a complete sur
prise to both of US. He was attacked
late in the afternoon with a violent
twitching of his muscles, and by mid
night was in a profound stupor, which
lasted with but few intermissions until
the end.
I knew that he was in dangerous
condition, but I could not leave him,
helpless as he was, and make my way
down into the valley for help, nor could
I take him down. In his weak and help
less state there was but one thing to do,
and that was to get a shelter ready and
take the best care of him possible. i

RECOMPENSE.
BY E. z. MUNKITrRIcK.

It was about week before Christmas
when Colonel Smith was wandering
homeward upon the main thoroughfare
of the city of his adoption. The colonel
was as full of the spirit of the merry sea-
son as was the very air itself. He thought
Of the presents be was about to make
and Of those which he expected to receive
as he cast his eyes about him and saw
the shop windows full of the latest nov
elites in toys.
When he was lost in such pleasant
Christmas reVerie as he hadn't had since
he was small boy, he happened to pass
along in front Of great marble hotel.
At the time he was passing a painter
was engaged in the act of retoning some
of the inside blinds at an open window.
It is not likely that it viii ever be known
just how it happened, but the painter,
while probably preoccupied with dreams
Of the approaching holiday, toppled the
pot of paint off the window sill, from
which point it whirled through the chilly
ashen air and deposited about three
quarters Of its contents upon the colo
mel
The latter was as red with rage as he
was with paint when he few into and
through the main entrance Of that hotel
and presented himself at the Office.
"Sirw exclaimed the colonel in a tow
ering rage. "What kind Of treatment do
you call this, sir?'
pretty rough" replied the clerk, not
knowing exactly what to say, because he
was ignorant Of the accident that had
just happened.
81 am glad" roared the colonel, with
beautiful irony, "that you are at least
kind enough to assume an attitude Of
sympathy, but am here, sir, to demand
satisfaction for damages. AS I was pass
ing, sir, one of your painters, sir, upset
a pot Of red paint upon me, sir!'
Here the colonel paused for breath,
and the clerk, learning the cause of his
trouble, became very profuse in his
apologies.
81 am sorry it happened, sir, very
sorry. But you should not be so unrea
