 To the amazement of the curious group. he held in the air and shook out of its Holdings tiny buckskin shirt. stained with blood and perforat- ed through its wadded thickness with bullet meant to kill.
 Again the winds caressed the hiff- tops, laid loving hands on the flr-treea, and played dancing tunes for the wild flowers that carpeted the domes back of Sandys home. Everything seemed good to him in this spring world af his. It was an old world, too, and one whose buffets and scant rewards. he had faced uncomplainingly. But tonight, he thought, what more could a man want than this? He reviewed. in order the facts that unexpectod treasures of gold had been found, that; new friends had been made, xnds. greatest of all, that letter was lying: on his lap. It read

 AS If he, too, were wearied of the struggle, Sandy had twisted over on his side, his pistol dropping from nerveless fingers, and one arm dis torted under him.
 To the ears of the frightened pas sengers in the coach there came the welcome sound of clattering hoofs and excited voices from down the road. A cavalcade of furiously riding men swung around curve and made upon them.
 Lucky that only one horse went over the cliff and that we met the other leader" said the foremost man, as his spurred heels rang on the ground, and his mount, with steam ing Hanks, came to dejected halt. While two of the men listened to the frightened explanations of the passen- gers, the others grouped themselves about the prone figure of Sandy. They lifted him to an easier position and set to work to revive him with gath cred snow.
 His eyes opened as though from sleep, and his uninjured arm sought the blood-stained breast.

 For seven years now the gaunt one had never failed in a Christmas re. membrance, the only one he gave. and to a strangers child. For seven years, luck with him or against him, he had sent this Christmas offering. Once, down in Tucson, he had been In such straits that he had to pawn his silver-mounted saddle to gain the wherewithal to buy a geegaw for this little boy. But as he said at the time when he mailed it, he had made good. And whats the use in havin' little pardner named after you, if you don't give him his'n on Christmas?" But this was the hardest year of all. The most difficult task. Not a squaw within a hundred miles. Indians all gone. Nobody much who knew how to tan buck. Ought to have beads on 1t, but that couldn't be done. Wished he had learned beadwork.. Never cut nor sewed boys shirt in all his life. How big was a seven-year-old, any howl But Sure as shootin', there was a real Buffalo Bill shirt goin' back East this year"
 So through this winters evening and many others he worked steadily, and looked forward to that fast ap- preaching time when he must venture out from the wilderness and away to the abode of men, in order that he might express with due formality his annual gift.
 On the night of its completion as he held it to the light it proved a wonderful creation. Never was such a tan, and never did finer claws grace a neckpiece. It's thrums were of the thinnest, and quill or two lent chic True, the sewing was a trife irregu- lar in stitch, and there were places that looked rather crude, but it was A mighty strong shirt, and them stitches was all put in thar to stay You bet it was strong shirt"
 There came the night of the start ing. Fresh thongs to the shoes, the homely lunch. and the packing of the precious bundle that was to bring gladness to those two Fasteners. The buckskin shirt and the meager supply of gold-dust were rolled into a tight little wad and carefully bound around with strips of four sack.
 The wind was not wearied of the night when the moccasined feet were slipped into the rawhide thongs, the diminutive pack thrust over sinewy shoulders, and the belt frightened for the days journey. Out through the singing pines, which bade him a friendly good-by, up to the crest of the divide where undergrowth and barren rock were rendered a plain by

CUPID AND JEWELRY TRADE
Very Close Connection Between the Two Is Shown by a Little

It might also be well to stop and think what would become of Gu, pid if 1t wasn't for it's friend the jew. eler. There is a closer business re- lationship between these two than mary nay imagine.

Then there are silver lnd golden wedding presents to buy also suitable gifts to provide for chris tenicgs and birthdays.
 Under the circumstances 1t is easy to understand why jewellers and their assistants aid Cupid somewhat by never neg,ecting any possible oppor- turity to introduce eligible young men of their acquaintance to suitable young women. The rest is simple, Intro duct,ons are often followed by en. agreements.

 A sudden movement on the hillside caught his attention.
 There was swift rush of a black form silhouetted against the white ness as one of the robbers, adopting new tactics. sought vantaGe-point higher on the mountain, from which he might shoot down to the road. Quick as a flash and with deadly cer- tainty, Sandy's rife recognized the danger. gave answer, and another huddled heap was added to the morn ing's tragedy. Down the hill it came, tumbling grotesquely, d,splacing stone in it's journey, and finding resting place within a few feet of its com rade.
 Sandy chuckled grimly. There's just one more" he said to himself, "and mebbe l kin get him to lay down his hand.
 Hey, there," he shouted, q don't wanter kill you, and l reckon you don't care in nowise particular about gettin' me. If you've got enough al ready, you kin chuck your guns over Tn front of that rock, hist your hands, and come down here where we can palaver.'
 A shot was the only reply "A pret- ty game cuss, I reckon" said Sandy, as the bullet ripped through the top of his hat, carrying with it neatly mown lock of red hair.
 "Whew, some good shootin', calker- late" Then he began to try, after carefully withdrawing his rife, 10 gain position of vantage from far ther up the side of the fallen breast. AS he crawled forward upon his side, Ae inadvertently exposed himself, and the last outlaw lost no time in seizing the opportunity.
 A spurt Of flame shot like lightning from the hillside battle-ground. Sandy felt paralyz:ag shock, ard release. his hold on his rife, which fell and clattered out of reach.
 "He got me! He got mel" Sandy murmured over and over to himself. His hand sought his breast and came away redly stained. He was helpless, but through his mind flashed a recol- lection of an old Indian strategy. and at occe he simulated death.
 A long interval of silence followed.
