When man owns booded horse he is
always careful of its health. He looks
after its diet and is particular that the
feeding shall be regular and right. While
he is doing this it is likely as not that he is
himself suffering from some disease or
disorder. When the trouble gets so bad
that he cannot work, he will begin to give
himself the care he gave the horse at the
start. Good. pure, rich, red blood is the
best insurance against disease of any kind.
Almost all diseases come from impure or
impoverished blood. Keep the blood pure
and strong and disease can find no foothOld.
That Is the principle upon which DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery works.

puts and keeps the whole body in perfect
order; makes appetite good, digestion strong.

"White wolves no tell the truth" the Indian replied. "They want scalp. They can't come in while the Elk is at the door. "
 Silence prevailed for moment and then the blow was repeated.
 1.-Two minutes, miss" said gruH voice. "We are coming in!"
 The Elk heard as we'll as did the girl and in another instant he let one foot slip little behind it's mate. That movement, slight as it was, meant preparation for the worst; but the Indian did not speak.
 "Let the boys in, please do, Lucy" came from the couch in the corner. "I want to know what's kept them away. The old katydid-"
 Once more with cry Lucy sprang to the couch and bent over the attenuated figure thereon.
 'It's not the boys of the Katydid, Paul. Pardon me. told an untruth before. They're the men from across the divide. They want you, you!" | With frightened face the fair speaker threw look toward the door and saw the figure braced there, living barricade of flesh and blood.
 As she looked the assault came. One of the men outside threw himself against the door, the portal shook from top to bottom and the moccasined foot of the Indian seemed to slip half an inch-that was all. Lucy caught halfway the cry that welled from her heart and watched the human bar ricade. The lips of the Indian were com pressed and his eyes watched the door be- fore him. He seemed in his element, but not sound escaped him.
Connecticut western news., 1897-12-23

A strained silence of half minute elapsed when again the door was charged. The man outside threw himself against it with the same result, only this time the moccasined foot did not slip. It kept it's place.
 The Elk seemed made of iron; his veins stood out on his half naked figure like whip cords and, giant-hke, he kept his self-as- signed post.
 'Take down the barricades, girl" said the leader of the band.
 In spite of herself the mountain girl smiled They did not know that the Elk was the barricade-
 Twice more the door was assaulted with the same impetuosity; but the defender of the pair did not move.
 At last the Elk looked down into the face beside him and caught Lucy's eye. sThe wolves have gone, girl" said he. "They could not break the Indians arm" Gone? No. In another second fist struck the portal and voice exclaimed.
 "A happy New Year to you, miss. We guess you've won him fairly. You've nursed him through and you kin have the last sur vivor of the Katydid disaster. Good night, girl," and then Lucy heard footsteps as the band retreated, but the Indian still kept his strong hands at the we'll guarded blanks. | It was a long night for the mountain girl, but she had companion in her vigil, for she would not let the redskin depart. Slowly over the wild landscape broke the first morning of the New Year, and Paul slum- bered, dreamless of the shadows that en- gulfed him during the night just passed At last as the sun kissed the tips of the

Blinky Bangs chuckled and confded to himself that he was a genius as he started forth that stormy Christmas eve. Under his long ulster he wore the familiar uni form of Santa Claus, perfect in every de- tail.

Blinky was to be admitted by the servant, and, as good Kriss Kringle, entertain the little ones while securing all the valuable plunder to be had.
 When they saw this perfect counterfeit of the jolly reindeer driver, they at first stood in wide-eyed wonder till the sturdy little Ben advanced with extended hand and quaintly welcomed the hoped-for guest This did not disturb the crusted hardness that had so long imprisoned Blinky's better na. ture, but when the fairy-like Ruth, with her crown of waving yellow hair and glis. tening blue eyes, rushed forward and from the vantage point of chair threw her

From the youngest up, all of us can see something in Christmas, above and beyond it's outward manifestations. It commemo. rates the beginning of life, which countless millions of the human race have looked upon as divine-a life of unselfshness, of self sacrifice, of tenderness, of goodness and of purity.
 We faintly initiate that life when we heal a sorrow, make one heart happier or tighten the burden borne by some tired and weary wanderer.
 It may be true that after we have feasted and frolicked we go back to the old lives again. But we can take the spirit of Christ mas with us, even if the bells are not ring ing and there is no holly gleaming from the wall.
 That spirit will have it's influence for good. The more it is cultivated by young and old the nearer is the world drawing to the golden year, and as the Christmas bells, from hill to hill, answer each other in the mist, we can say.
 "Ring in the valiant man and free,
 The eager heart. the kindlier hand;
 Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be-

winter mountains his sleep vanished and his eyes unclosed.
 Paul turned his head and caught the radi ant face of the gentle watcher and in an- other moment his gaze fell upon darker face near by.
 "Who's that, Lucy?" he asked. "You didn't let that redskin in last night, did you?" "He came in without asking, Paul. For tune sent him." she whispered, bending over the wounded man. But for our red brother you would not have seen the dawning of the New Year."
 And consequently have lost my little sweetheart, eh?"
 "Yes, Paul." and Lucy took the thin hand of her lover and placed it in the strong one that had saved both of them from the fends of the divide, making bright for them the New Year which was to witness the fruition of their fondest hopes.

and deeply sunken, but brilliant piack eyes. :,
 eIt's the wind, Paul. It's the old year going out, you know"
 But it's not midnight yet, girl? The boys haven't come back from the ledge
 eNot yet There, don't let such things worry you. They'll come by and by.
 He turned away and closed his eyes while the girl crossed the floor and for half min ute listened at the door.
 <sThe boys!" she said, under her breath. ssIt's been that way for week. They'll never come and I can't tell him. I dare not tell him that he is the sole survivor of the Katydid mine disaster, for he would want to know how it happened. I'm strong young woman, but not quite strong enough to break such news to him; no, not yet"
 Half a minute later Lucy Moore came back to the cot and discovered that the miner had dropped into deep sleep. The Katy did mine had been wiped out in the twin king of an eye by the work of unknown scoundrels, and Paul Draper had managed to crawl from the debris to be picked up day later and carried to the mountain home of the girl who loved him.
 Lucy understood it all. She knew of the feud; she had heard of the threats made by tne TuIudnS across the QlVlue, anu tue ulO- ment she looked upon Paul's unconscious form she guessed the truth. The villains had simply dynamited the Katydid mine, and the wonder was that even one man was left to tell the tale.
 New Years day was to have witnessed their wedding, but for some time it had Iooked more like burial as Paul lowered between life and death, his figure wasted away and his sufferings terrible. But she had watched over him with unceasing fidelity She had been his constant compan- ion since his narrow escape, and whenever his mind wandered he wanted to know when ''the boys" would come. The boys would never come, for they slept on the mountain side, and Lucy had not strength to tell him the truth.
 For some time that night the girl con EiEued to sit at the cot, her gaze riveted upon the white face of her betrothed The tick ing of clock on rough shelf nailed to the wall sounded like the strokes of a trip-ham- ner, but Lucy did not look up. She watched the sleeper and her thoughts were with him.
 Suddenly she heard noise that startled her from her chair. She went to the door and put her ear against it while again she sent swift glance toward Paul.
 She had for several days expected visit from the surgeon across the mountain and he might be there.
