Bertram Wingate closed his desk
with a weary sigh as the bell in the
courthouse tower struck five. The
plans for the Bettler hospital were not
going very we'll There are times
when even a rising young architect
ceases to feel the stimulus of his up
ward movement. Wingate paused a
moment before the window to look out
upon the swirling snow which was fast
converting Nicollet avenue into white
desert.

go to Minnie Nortons tea?" he thought.

If so, the creature was now gone; be-
sides, he cared little for such beasts
Walking silently down the gulch a
little way, he suddenly encountered a
deer, probably going to the spring to
drink. His rife sprang to his shoul-
der, but it took some seconds to catch
an aim in that light. AS his finger
pressed the trigger he saw, out of the
corner of one eye, the head and pricked
guch above him.
With the flash and crack of his rife
the deer leaped and fell, and the
stretched body of a lioness appeared
falling through the air upon Ben. He
was driven violently back into the
snow, and lay dazed.
Presently he caught his breath and
his sight cleared. The lioness stood
with one paw on his thigh. Instead of
seiZing his throat, she screamed an eX-
ulting signal TO her mate, and watched
Letters, who was bounding frantically
about her, menacing assaults upon her
flanks.
The dog soon ran in valiantly and
nipped her tail. She turned head
snarling. This gave Ben chance. He
slyly drew his revolver. At the click
of its hammer the lioness started, but
too late. He shot her through the head
and was trying to rise when the lion
leaped from above at the dog, only to
receive a ball in his chest as he
alighted.
In scrambling out of the way, and
firing again, Ben became conscious OF
a frightful pain in his right leg He
could not get upon his feet, so he
crawled to the lioness and sat upon heI
to examine his hurts. The small bone
was broken between knee and ankle
His clothing was torn, and there were
long, raw scratches upon his left shoul

he arrived at the Norton home. The
heavy odor of roses, the suspicion Of
charcoal from the samovar, and. above
all, the animated chatter from the
guests made his head ache, so he was
very grateful when Bessie Shaw mo.
toned him into a deep window seat
upon pretense of consulting him about
fayors for the next cotillion. They
were hardly seated when some one
beckoned Bessie away and she left him
with vouble promises to return in &
moment.
Wingate leaned back against the
cushions and drew the heavy draperies
as a screen between himself and the
glittering Kaleidoscope of the room.
Presently there was a rustic Of skirts
and two ladies seated themselves on d
divan beyond the curtain. Wingate
had no desire to play eavesdropper, but
his position seemed too desirable 10

Ben crawled to the nearest bushes
and cut half a dozen stout splints.
With these and his handkerchief he
bound up his leg. first carefully put
ting the bone in place. Then he
crawled to the camp, cut q long string
from the sledge there, and wound his
bound-up leg securely. Also he washed
his scratches and anointed them with

shoulder and found that he could hob

Thus he made his way down to the
deer, skinned and cut it up. and with
Letters to help pull, dragged its flesh
TO camp on its skin, a yard at a time.
In doing this while his hurts were vet
new, he suffered much less than if he
had waited.
This work occupied him all night.
BY the time he had eaten a little break
fast his hurts began to infiame, and the
pain made him feel sick. Nevertheless

When he awoke at noon his broken

he heated water in his camp pan. and

that the great trail no longer bent
that way and the place, once thronged
with devotees, became waste.
When a few thin settlements began

that his nephew, Ben, a young hunter

her through on time. You can do it
In four days?"
"Cncle Sam can be sure she'll get
there all right if the mountains don't
fall on us-can't he, Letters?'
Letters was Garry's small shepherd
dog. who barked as if in acquiescence.
"Good-by, then. Snow isn't deep yet.
Guess you'll have a fair trip. Luck to
you! Good-by. Letters!'
Letters ran up and gravely put up
paw for his customary good-by
shake The ceremony having been duly
performed the postmaster watched
them stride over the snow until they
disappeared behind a clump of bush.

there, about four feet above the bot
