vision to the path Of light before the
open door, but above the roaring Of the
storm he heard the cry:
Help! For Gods sake, help!"
"Stay here and keep the door open!,
That is what Sim Belden shouted as
he buttoned up his fur coat and leaped
down the snow-piled trail.
Pedro had no conception of the or
binary measure Of time, but it seemed
to him that at least a day had passed
since the white man had disappeared.
At length his heart was %gladdened as
he saw him breasting through the snow
and bearing another white man in his
arms.
Sim Belden staggered into the cabin,
and laid his burden on the fur covered
floor, and the instant he saw the face
of the unconscious man he dropped on
his knees, took the head in his arms
and cried out as he kissed the face so
like his own.
Jack! Jack! o God, it's Jack! Do
you hear me? Look up! Here's Sim!
Here's Sim, asking you on his knees
to forgive him!"
Sim and Pedro stripped off the wet
clothes, rubbed the white form till the
glow of life came back, and placed him
in a bunk and wrapped him in furs.
BY the time a steam punch was
ready Jack Belden rubbed his eyes and
looked about him. Then from the
bunk two white arms were extended,
and he sobbed:
after years Of seeking I've found
you, Sim!"
There is nothing more sacred than
the tears OF honest, strong men.
Pedro looked on in wonder, and.
though he could not understand what
was said,ahe realized that one had come
who was nearer to his guardians heart
than himself, but he felt no n Of
jealousy.
After a time Jack Belden felt strong
enough to sit up. He looked at his
watch, and seeing that it was after
midnight, he reached out his hand to
his brother and said:
"a happy New Year, dear SimlD And

assured them now, as it did
after every great storm, that
Sim Belden was still alive, still able
to grub under the foot of the ever
threatening ~avalanches for the fortune
he had left the world to win.
Sim Belden was a tall, handsome
giant of 80, who had come from no one
knew where. The few who knew him
thought he was unsocial, and those
with whom he traded at Garland be-
lieved that he had hit upon a rich find
under the snow line, and that he would
make it hot for the man who tried to
be his neighbor. iE
Sim Belden had been mining alone
In the Sierra Blanca, but during the
past twelve months he had a compan-
ion, a, young Ute lad named Pedro,
whom he had found dying and aban-
doned over on the headwaters of the
Del Norte. ~
When Sim Belden, without n pro-
CESS of law, became Pedro's guardian,

guage of signs which all understand.
Sim had just come up from Garland
burdened with a great pack of eata-
bles, and a proportionate amount Of
drinkables, for the traditions of his
youth led himito believe that both were
essential to a popular observance OF
the season.
This evening in the cabin, after. u p
per, Sim Belden was unusually talka-
tive, and, forgetting or ignoring that
Pedro's comprehension Of English was
limited, he ratified on like n think

on what he said.

Seeing that the white man hesitated
Pedro looked Wonderingly up and said.

Sim Belden lit his pipe and throwing
himself on a cinnamon bearskin before
the fire, looked at Pedro for a few
minutes and then went on, stOf course.

that had been confded to him.
Sim Belden was about to speak
again, but he changed from his pur-
pose by a rush, a roar, and a crash
that filled the air and shook the earth
as If the mountain was tumbling into
st. Luis park.
"a snowslide! Thank God there's
no n on the trail between here and
Garland tonight!" Sim Belden sat up
and looked at the Indian boy, whose
lean face and black eyes were filled
with an expression of intent anxiety.
What is it. Pedro? What do you

For reply Pedro bounded. to his feet,
and pointing in the direction of the
trail he shouted:
