Sim Belden was still alive, still able
to grub under the foot Of the ever
threatening a~valanches 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
with whom he traded at Garland be-
lieved that he had hit upon 4 rich find
under the snow line. and that he would
make it hot for the man who tried to
be his n%eighbor.
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-

Del Norte.

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 him to believe that both were
essential to q popular observance OF
the season.
This evening in the cabin. after sup

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 IL 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 of 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 vera extended.

Pedro looked On In wonder. and
though he could not understand what

who was nearer to his guardians heart

Jealousy.

! enough TO sit up. He looked at his
watch. and seeing that 1t was after
midnight, he reached out his hand TO

Tom Benton was just getting we'll

other day or two.

Tom pushed open the blinds and read
until Nora anne in with his supper.
Tomorrow ! shall get up and have a
good time" he thought, I'm not going
TO lie here forever"
That night Tom woke up with n
sharp pain in his eyes. They had never
ached SO before and he screamed for
his mother.
She bathed them In cool water but
they still hurt so much that the doc
tor had to be sent for.
You'll know enough to obey orders
next time, won't you, young man.
he asked when he heard what Tom had
been doing. you'll have to keep those
eyes of yours bandaged for several days

asked Tom.

abused his eyes once too often. and

Tom looked pretty sober. Miss

When Tom went back to school the
physiology class was having a review
lesson on the eyes, and his hand was
the first to come up when Miss Gray
asked who could tell some OF the ways
In which the eyes may be hurt:

sun or any very bright light. or to try
to see in q poor light.

one Is lying down, or riding In the

RATHBONE OUTFIT AGAIN.

One Rathbone, who has for some time
been a source of annoyance to every man
who owns horse in the country, has at
last got starter on the road to the pen.
Clyde Senter had fine little pony out
on the lava grazing, where he was seen
by Rathbone, who at once rounded him
up and added it to his herd. As he had
rode another mans horse down, Rath-
bone gave the man the Senter pony in
its place, and when CLYDE went after
it he found it was owned by another than
himself. After exhausting every other
method to recover his horse, Rathbone
was arrested for horse stealing, tried
and bound over to the district court.
There number of tin horn, no good
horse and cattle men-so called--in this
and Blaine county, who are no more or
less than stock rustlers, or to be plain,
just common thieves. There has been
several arrests, and in each case the
prisoners got off, but 1t is hoped that a
few of them will be consigned to the pen
at Boise at the next term of the district
court.
At the time this Rathbone was riding
this territory, about three weeks ago,
several of the town horses that were
running out, came home with sore backs
and almost skin and bones. Among
the bunch was the buckskin delivery
horse of Holt & Gilmore, which has not
been able to do days work since. A
stop must be put to this kind of work,
but to catch the slippery cusses is hard
proposition. Whether Rathbone is the
man who rides other peoples horses is
not known for fact, but as he was very
promiscuous hereabouts at that time, it
looks heap suspicious.
