The winter set in early that year
and with great rigor, and by the
first of December the thermom-
eter registered below zero every
day. Fortunately we had an am
pie supply of fuel, plenty of pro
visions. and lots of reading mat
ter, and for a month we lived life
of indolent ease. Then it began to
snow, at first intermittently and
then in a steady fall until there
was at least three feet on the
level. This was followed by II
thaw, which packed the snow, and
then cold weather set in anew.
1t was now the middle of Janu
airy, and just while was congrat-
ulating myself on the easy way in
which we were getting through
the winter, Amy, our little girl,
was taken i'll.
At the beginning of winter | had
sold my horse as being too much
bother TO care for, so tramped to
town and brought back the doctor
in his cutter. This was remark
able man. this DR.. Merton. In the
oretieal knowledge he must have
been at the head of his profession.
He was almost the only man in
town with whom | had friendly in
tercourse, and | was amazed to
find that he possessed we'll
stocked library, was cognizant OF
the latest discoveries in medicine.
and, above all, had that masterful
air that goes so far toward the sue
cess of doctor or divine. When
once limited IL. he was hiding his
light under a nushel, he laughed
and asked me why | came to Idaho.
1t was his whim, as mine.
He saw Amy and pronounced
the case malignant sore throat
with diphtheritic symptoms.
You had better bring her to
town. said he.
s'Why?n | asked, shortly. There
is no more comfortable house in
town than this
No he assented, with lift of
his eye; but there are more PEG
pie, in case YOU need aid"
Then I would not get it, | re
torted. Everybody is afraid of
diphtheria-I don't blame them.
Her mother and | will act as
nurses. Can't you write out de
tailed instructions? -
He did SO and left the necessary
medicines. The next day he paid
us another visit and said Amy was
improving, and the next day all
danger was past. He told us what
treatment to continue and left us
-Four nights later my wife com
planned of a sore throat. My heart
gave great jump of alarm. II
WAS nearly ten o'clock and Amy
was sleeping quietly in her crib
Outside it was clear and starlight
but the cold was intense.
LET me look down your throat,
| said.
There was no doubt of it. The
diphtheritic spots were there
She saw the news in my face.
Il suspected it, she said, qui
city, and with a woman's self-re
straint. Il am so sorry; you viii

Amy. You will be back in two
hours anyhow"
| | lost no time in words, and il
five minutes was on my way to the
town. | could see the few twink
ling lights of the houses, as the
town lay lower down the valley
and there was no danger of losing
my way, although there was n'
path.
| Snow covered everything il
sight and the crust was frozel
solid. The temperature was 20 be
low zero, but there was no wind
and the air was like wine. This pc

said, with rising impotence at
the delay.
AsI strobe forward he caught
me again and walked by my side
quite briskly for a dozen steps,
and then fell back again like a
drag.

He gave another lurch and this
time fell on the ground.
was in despair. The man was
a rough looking miner. | had new
er seen him before, and he was
nothing to me except human be
ing, one of billion. 1t would be
necessary fairly to drag him tony
house, and that would require at
least an hour, even if my strength
did not give out. Meanwhile what
would happen to Iw wife? The
warning words of Ape doctor stood
out before me as if written in let
ters of fire.
Never was man placed IN a
worse predicament. If ! left this
man here he would surely die, and
if | reached home so much as a
minute late my wife might die.
There passed through my mind
with the rapidity of lightning
every tale | had ever heard of en-,
gineers sticking to the locomotive
going to certain destruction in the
effort to save the passengers III
the coaches; the captains who
stood on deck and went down with
the ship while the boats carried
away the passengers; the men
who led forlorn hopes in battle or
siege; the man who leaped into the
chasm to save Rome; the men and
women who ministered to plague
stricken cities and died from the
scourge; every one who died from
devotion to duty.
These men and women left men,
women and children behind them
to suffer, while the world applaud.
ed the acts of herOism. But what
is the applause of the world save
empty sound? A statue here and
there, a line in history's pages, or
maybe a notice in a newspaper
and there il rests. Who chronicles
the sorrow of the heart wrung and
perhaps impoverished dependents
of the forgotten heroes? Who
gives them a thought while gazing
ON the statue or tomb?
And yeti is simple human
nature to succor the distressed.
There is not one case in a thousand
of honest poverty; improvidence
and vice are the parents of beg
gary and want, but who can calm
ly dissect the cause when hunger
appeals? Who can stop to in
quire into a mans character when
he is struggling in the rapids?
These opposite views presented
themselves to me as the man lay at
my feet, and occupied but a min.
