OF whskcy thrust into his pocket, he put
on a pair OF India rubber boots reaching
to his thighs. and catching the blanket
from his bunk, started with an axe aud
shovel on his shoulder on his downward
Journey. When the distance was half
completed he shouted to the travellers
below. tho cry was ioyously answered by
the three men: he saw the fourth figure,
now Enthusiastically that Of u slender,
youthful woman, in cloak, helped back
into the wagon. nv il delivcrnncc was
now sure and immediate. But Jack, on
arriving, speedily dissipated that elusive
hope they could only get through the
gorge by taking off the wheels of the
wagon, placing the axle on rude sledge
runners of split saplings, which, with
their assistance, he would fashion in a
couple of hours at his cabin and bring
down to the gorge. The other alternative
would be for them to come to his cabin
and remain there while he went for as
sistance TO the nearest station, but that
would take several hours, and neeessitate
n double journey for the sledge If he was
lucky enough to find one. The party quick
ly acquiesced in Jacks suggestion.

if he had been more like what she wish
ed she would have felt this less keenly;
love makes little room for the exercise
of moral ethics. So Miss Amy Forester,
being a good girl at bottom, and not ex-
actly loving this man, felt towards him
a frank and tender consideration which
more romantic person would have
shrunk from showing. Consequently,
when Tenbrook entered a moment later,
he found Amy paler and more thoughtful,
but, as he fancied, much prettier than be-
fore, looking up at him with eyes OF the
sincerest solicitude.
Nevertheless, he remained standing
near the door, as il indicating a possible
intrusion his face wearing q look Of low
ering abstraction. 1t struck her that
this might be the effect of his long hair
and general uncouthness, and this only
spurred her to a fuller recognition OF
his other qualities.

ing embarrassment, that instead of
resting satisfied with your kindness in
carrying me up here, l will have to bur
den you again with my dreadful weak
ness, and ask you to carry me down also.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.

Buffalo Voice: w. w. M~orEareidge
is now In the county Jail awaiting trial
on the charge Of passing a forged mote
purporting to have been given by
Reece Bros. U. s. mail contractors. The
note was drawn on the First National
bank OF independence. Mo-, and was
oashed by Robert Foote. Payment was.
however. refused by the bank. and Mr..
Foote was obffgei TO have Morgareidge
arrested. In a letter to Mr.. Fooue THE
contractor stated the signature was a
forgery. he having given no such note.
Mr.. M~orgareidge waived examination
and the amount of his bail, was fixed
at $500. Jim Morgareidge and Orris
Morgareidge came up from the south
ern part OF the county to see whether
they could do anything FOR their
brother, but owing. as we understand.
to some additional charges, their bond
was not accepted. The affair is a most
distressing one and the weight Of the
trouble win as usual fam heavily on
those who are in no wise implicated in
uhe offense with which he is charged.
The sympathy Of the community Is
