I AM WARMED.


The dusk was falling as I drew UP
mounted, and the landlord, who was
standing at his door, came to greet
me. He called the hostler to lead my
horse to the stable, and I went with
the man to see Whitesock made COM
Portable. AS / stood In the entrance
Of the outbuilding. a pony ciattered
into the yard behind me-. A man came
out OF the house and hailed the rider,
and the conversation which FOLLOWED
was OF much interest to me. BY their
talk, the men were English drovers,
and the c averred. with many
round i~mprecations, that he was
thankful to see the signs Of fire and
food once more; that such was the
tangle of hills and ravines beyond the
place hat he had lost his way hope
lessly, and had 1t not been for a lucky
glimpse Of the lights of the village, he
must LAY spent the night upon the
mountains.
I thought over this and saw that the
girl In gray knew well what she spoke
Of when she advised a guide. If this
man whose business trained him to
find his way about In all kinds Of track
less places had lost his bearings. how
should i fare, an utter stranger to
mountain wilds? After all, I reflected,
/ had thrown off my enemies clean
enough by now; I would have a guide.
] went into the house and met the
landlord in the passage.
Il want a private ROOM" said /. and
slipped a piece OF gold into his hand.
He turned aside under pretense OF
o cough, really to satisfy himself as
TO b value OF the coin, and after O
glance at II, became instantly com
PLEASANT He fetched a couple of can
dies, led me to a small room, set the
lights on the table and drew down the
red blind at the window.
Landlord" said 1. do o know q
place called Nant-y-Bryn7"
Yes, indeed. sir, very we'll; Sir Ar
thu Vaughan lives there"
Il wish to go to It," said I. Can you
find me a guide7"
The nan bit his lips and reflected
WELL" said he. slowly. there are
plenty who know the road, but they
have no English; that would be awk-
ward. perhaps"
Certainly I have no Welsh" I re-
turned.
Il have the man." cried the landlord.
"Rees Price, the saddler, three doors
above US on this same street. He knows
that country we'll. and can speak the
English"
Il will go and see him after supper"
l said.
The landlord withdrew to see after
he meal, and l looked about the room.
I saw a second door on the oppositc
side and crossed to 1t. It opened al
rectly on the street, to which the win
dow also looked. AS l stood - the
doorway, q clatter of hoofs arose and
my acquaintance of the afternoon
rode up. l thought they were coming
to the inn, for they drew rein opposite
to me; but no, the doors of q house on
the other side OF the way opened to
receive them. and the ponies were led
down a passage at the side. My supper
now arrived, and l sat down to it and
made great play after my long ride
through the winter afternoon.

DANGER OF LARGE INCOME.
1--WE Go to tho Devil! When We Have
S5O,QC0 a Year." Saws Hills.

pSOfSSN q ISdIp Guys T1ililSs
Harper's Weekly: I'VE all go to the
DEVIL" said DR.. Hills the other night,
when we have fifty thousand a year.
Or most of u.s." he added, hedging a lit
tie. Some men can stand 1t. but not
many"
Fifty thousand a year is the income OF
only $1,000, coo, we'll invested, and We have
long since lost the habit of accounting
the $1,0OO,0OO man rich. The proportion
OF the Observation-Disclosures men to the
rest OF the population is not yet large In
this country, but the absolute number OF
them Is pretty big, and II most Of them
are going to the devil II is q serious mat
ter. However, DR.. Hills was not dealing
with statistics, but giving colloquial ex-
preston TO an opinion. The opinion was
that an income OF fifty thousand a year
is unwholesome He spoke OF divorce IN
high life" and Of the ~"pampered soma
and daughters Of luxury, rotten before
they are ripe, and drowned In the honey
suckle juice of indulgence" We all zee
enough of the evils OF wealth; Of lives
that might have been useful blighted by
IL: Of homes that might nave been happy
devastated by II. Any Industrious and OBJ
servant person could get together facts
enough about promising young lives that
had come TO no good from lack of pres
sure Of necessity, to make careful citizens
hesitate TO say whether, II they had to
choose, they would prefer the risks OF
fifty thousand a year or tuberculosis. And
yet, fifty thousand a year has its good
points, it's opportunities, It's privileges;
and here in New York, at least, there are
facts and considerations that go far
towards neutraliZing Its perils.
Suppose 1t Is q mere income derived not
from investment, but from labor or bust
ness. Its pogsessor, II he Is prudent, will
save twenty thousand, and perhaps he
will give away five thousand. That will
leave him only twenty-five thousand o
year to live on, and though, eve If he
has a family, he can live In comfort or
that sum: that he cannot live in prideful
luxury upon 1t Is so we'll known that there
Is no need OF going into details TO tell
why. If his fifty thousand comes to him
IN divided checks and coupons without
trouble or anxiety to him the situation lie
harder. 1t is an awful thing to be rid OF
the struggle for existence. 1t is really the
next thing to being dead, and yet II Ii
what almost every one OF us aspires &c
and reaches after all the time. The fret
thing the beginner usually tries to buy
with his money Is ease; the next II
pleasure. That's where the fifty thous.
and gets in It's deadly work. When Its
possessor buys ease and pleasure instead
Of opportunity, 1t nay raise the devil with
him, as DR.. Hills justly suggests.
