There had been time when pay.
ing claim, big cabin, a heap of furni-
ture and a field of flowers would have
seemed just about all in life that
Sandy wanted. But the boys on the
gulch know, and will tell you that all
these things were passed up like a
pawn and without thought, when on
the following day Sandy and his fam
lily rode away.
They got up to that point you can
see on the very brow Of the hill, where
the trail dips off toward the sunrise,
the morning after. In the lead was
Sandy Smith, holding Mods On the
pommel of MS sadie. Next came two
pack ponies with an outfit, another
pony with old Rebeclly, and then Pete,
on whose back was packed a big
basket, in which a three-legged dog
could ride.
Right up on that point they stopped
and looked back, most of us hope and
believe without regret, on the cabin,
and the claim, and the flowers.
The mans arms closed round the lit
tie boy, the old woman behind was
happy, and old Pete and the three
legged dog were willing to go along
after, knowing that green pastures can
be found for all things which are faith
full to the end.

1t seemed there wouldn't be any ne

Sandy's arm was working. 1t must
have been the Lord who put it into
Mods fathers mouth to say: Let me
goi Let me go! If you want the kid
so bad, why don't you buy him."
Sandy's fingers released their hold.
Buy Mods? Buy Mods? He had never
thought of that before. 1t seemed so
incomprehensible that anybody would
offer to sell anything as dear as Mods;
that of all the ways he had contem-
plated in these last weary days, this
had been the one way overlooked.
Slowly ne climbed to his feet, and
Mods father shrinking and battered
worthless life, also arose. Cupidity
was in the mans every look He was
reaching the very end for which he
came, and for which-alone-he had
claimed the boy. This was his chance.
Give me your claim,' he said, 'and
I'll deed you all my right, now and for
ever-to him"
Its done!" said Sandy, without a
moments hesitation. His claim, the
richest in all this land, the thing that
could produce the gold which would
buy a kings ransom, could go as
ransom for this boy. Gold? What
was gold? Nothing! A paltry metal,
which, though all Of it in the world
were with his reach, couldn't pay for
one clasp of those little arms that
again Rugged him around his feet, and
were soon after transferred to his sun
tanned throat.

THE CITY COURT
Siw0nS Settled For $25 For vio.
 IaiiUg Screen Law.

John Altman and Joseph Russell were arrested yesterday for assault ing Louis Merski on Bank street the other day. They settled in the city court for $10 each. It seems Merski was elbowing his way through a crowd and someone pushed against him. Merski then went for the fel- low who had collided with him and in a moment there was scrap on.
 John Simons who runs a saloon under Concordia hall on Bank street, charged with violating the screen law, settled for $25.
 John Fenton, charged with intoxi- cation, was fined S3 and costs
 Michael Wall was charged with intoXication and common drunkard. He had very little to say in justified tion of his record and was committed to jail for ninety days.
 James Claffey, who seemed to be mentally weak, was committed to Brookside to work out a fine of $S and costs. He pleaded guilty to theft of a pair of shoes and said he could not say why he took them. He has been knocking about the country of late and is in poor health.

 Patrick K. Kelly who was given three months for contempt of court by Judge Burpee in the city court three weeks ago was released from jail to-day, James J. Murphy of Penn berton street giving bail for him. Kelly was charged with creating a disturbance at his home while under the influence of drink. He became very noisy in court, interrupting his mot her while giving her evidence and finally he became so fractious that he was held for contempt. Judge Burpee to-day remitted the sentence for contempt. It is likely that the matter will be settled up now as Kelly has job awaiting him.

WE'VE
 HEARD

this year, just as we have heard for the past thirty years, that when our customers go on their vacation they don't enjoy a cup of good tea or cof- fee until they arrive home again. Well, wouldn't that jar you? And why, because it's their own fault. Why don't they take some of our tea and coffee along with them? It's no trouble for hotels or restaurants to brew your tea or coffee if you'll fur nish it. If you go visiting relatives just take a pound or two of each and present it to them; they'll be de- lighted and they never will know why you gave it to them, and you'll get the benefit. We think it quite treat to give people something for nothing; some times it rather jars them to know why or how we do it. For instance, this week we give half dozen one quart fruit jars with a pound of our Baking Powder, 45 cents per pound. The price Of the jars is S4 cents per dozen. Thou sands of people will wonder how we do it. We'll, it matters not how we do it so long as you get both jars and Baking Powder for 45 cents, and both warranted o. K. or money re- turned ,at
