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 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, he realized that one had come
who was nearer to his guardians heart
than himself, but he felt no pangs 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 Sim!" And
still holding his brothers hand, Jack
told the story of his three years search
and how only that afternoon he had
learned at Garland of Sims hiding
place.
But there was more to tell. When
Sim discovered him with Alice Thorpe,
Just three years before this, he was
telling the girl that he had become
engaged to her cousin Ethel, and was
begging her to plead his case with the
| father and mother of his betrothed.
"Since the day you left, Sim, I've
been a changed man, and a drop OF
liquor hasn't passed my lips. But 1t IS
not of myself, but of Alice l would
speak. She was ever true to you, ana
though she thinks you dead,she is still
true to your memory, and tonight by
the fire in the old home, where she
gave you her love, she is weeping Tor
dead one who thought her false"
The storm continued the next day,
but in all that wild land no cabin he'd
two happier hearts than those OF the
brothers reunited under the caves OF
the avalanche far up the Sierra Blan-
/ ca
Shortly after this Sim Belden sofa
out his claim and accompanied MS
brother to the east. They took Pc
dro with them and sent him to the In
dian school at Carlisle, where ne De
came a teacher.
Every new year he visits his guar
dian and his wife, and the children OF
both brothers love him. His knowl-
edge of English is perfect, and he full
ly comprehends the story told him by
Sim Belden in the mountain shack that
New Years eve.

name; but, as I'd never brought dis

world behind forever?
There's the story, Pedro. That's
why I'm here, and you're the first and
the last human being that'll ever hear
of it from my lips. Savey?"
Isl, senor," said Pedro, without the
slightest comprehension of the secret
that had been confided to him.
Sim Belden was about to speak
again, but he changed from his pur
pose by rush, roar, and crash
that filled the air and shook the earth
as if the mountain was tumbling into

For reply Pedro bounded to his feet,

trail he shouted:

In an instant Sim had the door open.
The whirling snow clouds limited his
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 day had passed

ence bay and return, which have twice

why have | not attempted it myself? IL

ing no means for continued effort, fail
ure in the first attempt has resulted III
its abandonment. AS for myself, it has
been entirely a question of money. The
funds at my disposal have not permitted
the charter of ship beyond Whale

THE points in favor of this project
are:
First The utilization of the Eski

for that particular kind of work-men
who under the leadership of one whom
they know TO be their friend and in
whom they have the utmost confidence,
would follow TO the end. faithful and
loyal as their own magnificent dogs.
Second. Land for base. The party
launched into the icy waste from the
northern archipelago would have some
definite, fixed point to which to return,
rather than a ship drifting with the
drifting ice, to vanish like will o the
wisp, as did the Fran from hansen.
Then should the party be swept wester-
ly in its retreat it would still strike
land, and, finding depots at each prom
inent headland, could easily reach head
quarters
Third. "A practicable and already
utilized route for retreat independent
of the ship or outside assistance.
I'm nutshell, my project means:
First. The raising of sum suffi-
cient TO insure persistent, continued eff
fort, so that if the attempt fails the first
year it can be repeated the next, and the
next, and the next, until it is done.
Second The establishment of par
ty of picked Eskimo families, surgeon
and an experienced leader at the highest
practicable point on the northwest coast
of Greenland, with ample supplies,
means of communication which would
enable the colony to sustain itself until
its work is accomplished, and with a
practicable line of retreat entirely indie
pendent Of the ship.
This project in more detail and &C
companied by maps will be placed be-

will meet the approval and Endorsement

The idea suggested in the topical ref
erence is failures and successes in Chris
tian work, especially in the work of try
ing to lead souls to Christ. 1t is the
story of the second calling of Peter and
Andrew, James and John. Although
they had toiled all night and caught
nothing. at Jesus command Simon
launched into the deep and let down the
net and it was filed.

to Capernaum, Jesus enters the ship of

their ships were filled. This was the re-

to crown our efforts if we keep our
selves right with God and do as God
wants us to do.

True to Her Trusts.

1t is one of the glorious things that
can be said of the true church of Christ
that she is true to the trusts reposed in

character that no greatness Of numbers
