Parson Tom knew not how long he
had lain there, and, despite the
warmer temperature, he was numb
with cold when he crawled into his
cabin. He was SO completely over
come by the struggle with his assailant
and the cold that he lay upon his bed
in stupor far into the night.
When he aroused, the snow was fall
ing in great sheets, like drifts, from
the gulch above. He opened the door
and looked out. He could see moth
ing but the binding storm and the
darkness which was scarcely subdued
by the ghastly whiteness of the snow.
He dared not venture out. No man
could live an hour in that terrible
storm.
Rebuilding the FIRE, the parson sat
down and tried to think-tried to
think where he had heard that voice
before it demanded his money. If he
could only recall that, he would be
able to identify the man who had
robbed him. Without that recollec-
ton, his claim that he had been
robbed the second time would be only
laughed at by the men who had been
SO generous in their gifts.
But it was impossible to recall it,
though he knew he had heard it and
remarked its peculiar tone. And there
he sat through the long, black night
hoping against hope.
1t was broad MONDAY when he
awoke, sitting by the dying embers
on the hearth. The sun shone brighter
than it had shone for weeks. Its hot
rays melted the snow on the roofs of
the houses, and the day was like a day
in spring But it brought no Joy to
the heart of Parson Tom.
The habitues of Big Franks saloon
had hardly settled themselves down
to the pleasures or pastimes of the
day--their morning hour being the
noon-time-when they were startled
by the ghost-like appearance of Parson
Tom. In trembling voice, he told
his story.
"He plays it well," sneered Big
Frank; that's purity good makeup
ye've got on yer face. Ye'd ought ter
be performer. There'll be chance
fer ye when the variety show opens
up in the spring"
This speech was greeted with laugh
ter by the crowd, and the poor parson
was dumb--but not deaf-with morti-
fication. How could he face these men
who disbelieved his very first utter
ance? He turned to go.
"Hold on ther' !" cried Paymaster
Bill; "this is twicet yer say yer bin
robbed in this camp. Both times il
was our money as ye was robbed Of

the parson would not reply; 'ye've got
ter prove thet ye didn't rob some
other parties besides yerself. More'r

But Parson Tom could utter nc

And o'er graves OF buried hopes,

Where night neer casts Its shade:
And treasures ne er grow old:
And then they forever gleam
