Owner Wept When Compelled to Part
With Them.
An incident which illustrates the
strong attachment that forms between
a man and good team occurred at a
public sale four miles south of town
Wednesday. 1t was noticed that the
owner Immediately withdrew from the
crowd upon the bringing forth of a
fine span Of blacks, but returned later
when called upon to describe the
team. Among other things, their age.
etc., he stated that he had raised
them from colthood; that they were
true. kind and faithful. Here he could
say no more, and crossing his arms
on the one nearest him, he sobbed like
a child. The intelligent animal, evil
IDENTIFY realizing that something was
wrong, turned his head and gently
pushed his nose against his old mas

messed every day in this hard old
world, and glance at the crowd of
farmers disclosed scores of moist eyes
and the autioneer's voice grew husky
as he proceeded with the sale of the

Laura. He reached the fork and be-
gan to climb the great dead limb of a
tree which touched the coveted ledge.
At that moment he heard a cracking
at the root of the tree and became
conscious of descending motion in
the limbs to which he chung.
He knew he was falling, and that
with the vast mass he must descend
into the valley beneath. He left him
self rushing downward through the
air; he closed his eyes; there came q
horrid crash on his ears, and he knew
no more.
When Paul regained consciousness
he was lying on a pile Of skins and
furs in a cavern.
A man clothed wholly In bear and
seal skins stood over him, gazing at
him with pair of strange gray eyes.
His hair was long, falling to his Shout
ders, and his beard, which was almost
white, came to his waist. He had q
halfsavage and half-civilized appear
ance.
Paul gazed into the strange, wild
face and asked:
who are your"
The stranger, without taking his
eyes OF him, asked:
Who are you?"
II am a miner from the Klondike
who was robbed. l was in pursuit Of
the robbers when the accident befell
mo Won found ma7D
yes"
Paul a. first supposed that some of
his limbs were broken or dislocated,
and dared not move, but after a few
moments he discovered that he had
suffered no greater injury than a Sc
we're shock. He had fallen into deep
snowdrift. which had broken the fall
and no doubt saved his life.
Wont you tell me who you are?"
asked Paul after few minutes gazing
into the face Of the mysterious
stranger. The man turned away for a
moment as If he wished to avoid the
answer and then slowly turning back
answered:
II am a hermit; will that suffice?"
do you live here?" Paul asked.
"Yes."
How long have you lived in this
mountain"
Then came a longer silence than
usual, when the hermit of the cave
answered:
What difference can that make to
you? | found you in a perishing con-
dition and brought you here and
saved your life. Is that not enough
without telling all the secrets of my
life?" He turned slowly about and
went to small fire that smoldered on
the stones some distance away, and
began to toast some slices of moose
steak. Paul closed his eyes and tried
to reason that he could be in no imme-
diate danger. II the man had intend
ed to kill him, he would no doubt have
done so while he was unconscious. He
also reasoned he might have some
design in saving his life.

was entirely ignorant. The one word.
