CHAPTER TX.
AN ERRAND OF MERCY.


On the third day after my arrival at
Nant-y-Bryn at about II o'clock of the
morning I was standing at one of the
windows of my uncle's room. The
prospect was dreary in the extreme. A
thick, dark mist had settled on the
hills, and an old oak tree forty yards
away was a faint, ghost-like shadow
in the dull gray vapor. The rain fell
heavily in straight, unbroken lines, and
the trickling thread of rivulet which
passed the house had swelled to a flu
rious yellow flood, whose deep, hollow
note filled the air. So dark was the
day that the room behind me was filled
with the light Of fire and candle, as If
the night had fallen. turned my head
and found my uncle peering at me over
the top Of the book he held in his
hand. He was regarding me SO intent
ly and yet in a kind of abstraction, that
for a moment he seemed scarcely
aware that our eyes were meeting.
I thought he was about to speak, but
he lowered his glance to the page be-
fore him and remained silent. He was
sitting near the fire, candle at his
elbow, and his usual medley of volumes
heaped around him. He had inherited
my grandfather's passion for study,
and spent the greater part Of his time
in reading.
I continued to gaze upon him, half
idly, half wondering why he was star
ing SO hard at me, and in moment I
found his eyes rising again. This time
certainly thought he had something
to say, but. no; he looked down again
when he found that was still regard
ing him. His thin, delicate face shone
pink in the freight, his long, white
hair was like silver, his bright, dark
eyes ran from line to line down his
book, and still stared, and still Won

Ewing, with his wife, was carried off one
afternoon by Wild animal.
Search was made Tor the little one, but

since then the father has spent his time
n the hills seeking the bears and wolves,
which are numerous in the mountains,
and slaughtering them wherever found.
while the mother has sat and wept and
pined away over the fate Of her child.
While Dunphy was hunting In the
mountains yesterday he came on wolf
len. which showed signs of being occu-
pied. He waited tor a long time, and
then, as no Welt came forth. he decided
to enter the den and see Tor himself
what was in it.
AS he entered the place he heard the
cry of child. Advancing, he saw a
sight that almost turned his hair white
Lying on bed of grass at the end Of the
len was q big mother wolf, with several
pups playing beside her, while close tc
her side was his lost baby, trying to gel
dinner from the mother wolf, which
eemed to enjoy the Juggling.

attempt to escape or to make an attack

A SENATOR'S COURAGE.
Smallpox Marks in kansan's Face
Were a BADGE of Honor,


Z. r. Snyder, who Is writing a history of
Kansas, gives chapter to Senator Pres
ton d. Plumb, and quotes Joseph Bratton,
one Of the Usage pioneers, as saying:
II fought and licked a man once who
said that Plumb was a coward. l knew
that he was no coward from Burlingame
instance with which l was familiar. Along
about the spring Of 1860. when we We're
running the hotel, and the stage from
Lawrence to Emporia stopped at our place
for meals, Preston s. Plumb was on 1t one
night, and during supper heard talk OF
smallpox having broken out here. A man
stopping with l. b. Titus came down with
the disease, and as soon as 1t was known
what it was he was carried off half a mile
up on the hill to an empty hut and left
there alone to die.
mo one being willing to nurse him,
Plumb, hearing of the case, resolved to
stop Off and go and look after the man,
even at the risk of his own life. He got
George Bratton to fix up basket of
toast and eatables, take his light and a
roll of blankets, and show him to the sick
man. Mr.. Bratton did so, going near
enough to help Plumb all he could. Plumb
found out the sick mans condition. and
cared for him that night The next morn
ing, learning that Abel Policy had once
had the smallpox, he got him to admit the
sick man to his cabin, because 1t was more
comfortable. They two cared for the man
the best they knew how until he died.
when all was over Plumb cleaned up
changed his clothes, and continued his
journey on to Emporia, only to be taken
down with the dreadful disease himself
and to be carried off to one side and I'M
dergo the forced absence Of friends care !;
and at last, when he was over the disease
to be branded with the marks the balance
OF his life. That was true courage"
