gloomy as the canon depths on a
cloudy midnight.
AT first l felt like changing my
name; but. as I'd never brought dis
grace on it. let it stand. What mat
tiers a name to a man. who's left the
world behind forever?
There's the story, Pedro. That's
why I'm here. and you're the first and
the last human being thatll 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 a crash
that filled the air and shook the earth
as II the mountain was tumbling into
ST. Luis park.
"A snowslide! Thank God there's
no one 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 filed
with an expression of intent anxiety.
What Is it. Pedro? What do you
hear, man? Speak out"
For reply Pedro bounded to his feet.
and pointing in the direction of the
trail he shouted:
White man! White man."
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 1t seemed
to him that at least day had passed
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1897-12-30

Seeing that the white man hesitated
Pedro looked wonderingly up and said,
Isl, senor."
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, "Of course,
Pedro, you wasn't ever in love?"
Pedro said, Isl, senor," and scratched
his head like one perplexed.

hope you never will. If you should

unless you're dead sure. But, then,

Sim Belden turned over on his
breast, and resting his bearded chin
on his upturned palms. looked at the
dancing flames and continued:
There was never a man loved his
brother as l loved my brother Jack.

When our raft went to pieces on the

But often and often, as I've sat by this

THE VESTAL AT THE GATE.

When today with vestal grace
She stood before your dwelling place,
Did you take her by the hand,
Bid her welcome to the land,
With the cordial love and greeting
That we owe a friend at meeting?
Fair and sweet to look upon
Was this lily maid at dawn,
With her dark locks flowing down,
And her saffron hood and gown
Set about with starry border.
Symbol Of her priestly order.
And we owe to her. hold.
Whether she be kind or cold.
Whether she being rue or myrrh
When we lift our gates to her,
Well and duly to receive her,
Lest our sad complaining grieve her.
What she brings us, heaven sent,
Take your gift and be content,
Though 1t be not what you sought.
And your prayers seem set at naught,
He knows best. who ruled the giving.
What we need for holy living.
Do not vex her with dismay
At the pangs of yesterday,
Nor disturb her heart in vain
With the hint Of coming pain;
For fell, impending sorrow
May be Gods best gift tomorrow.

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 tho
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 | would
| speak. She was ever true to you, and
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 for
a dead one who thought her false
The storm continued the next day,
but in all that wild land no cabin held
two happier hearts than those of the
brothers reunited under the caves cf
the avalanche far up the Sierra Blan-
ca.
Shortly after this Sim Belden sold
out his claim and accompanied his
brother to the east. They took Pc
dro with them and sent him to the In
dian school at Carlisle. where he be-
came 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.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1897-12-30

assured them now, as II ulu
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.
Sim Belden had been mining alone
in the Sierra Blanca. but during the
past twelve months he had 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 any pro-
cess of law, became Pedro's guardian,

confined to the one word, damn" His
acquaintance with Spanish was a lit
tie more extensive. He knew that

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 him to believe that both were
essential to popular observance OF
the season.
This evening in the cabin, after SUD-
per. Sim Belden was unusually talka-
tive. and. forgetting or ignoring that
Pedro's comprehension of English was
limited, he ratified on like one think
ing aloud and wishing for no comment
on what he said.

used to have back In the Alleghanies

The Philadelphia Record thinks
Senator McEnery's conscience will
have a heavy strain if he decides to
support a sugar schedule that will
give to tie Sugar Trust a bounty
for which there is no excuse. 1t says:
Senator McEnery, of Louisiana,
while be favors a sugar tax as a
means Of protection as we'll a source
of revenue, has declared himself
against any legislation that might
he deemed sectional or for the bene-
tit of the trusts and monopolies. In
favoring a sugar tax laid for reye-
nue. the Senator is in strict accord
with the friends Of Revenue Reform.
The protection derived from such a
tax is incidental, and not onerous,
because the production of sugar in
the United States is in such limited
quantity as compared with importa-
ton and consumption. But it will
give Mr.. McEnery's conscience a
terrible wrench, if he happens tc
have such a thing about him, when
he shall be asked TO support the
sugar schedule as reported to the
Senate, which proposes TO give. The
Sugar Trust a bounty Of from three.
eighths to half a cent a pound. anG
