Dan Ramsay has a seory of that bor- der hostelity between English. and Scots width used to go to halter lengths. A Scottish drover was returning from the south in particularly bad humor with the English, having done poor business, when he saw in Carlisle a notioe offering a reward of ee50 to anyone who would volunteer for the unpopular- task of hanging a eoodemne.d criminal. Seeing his chance to make up for Ms bad mar- ket, and comforting himself with the thought that he wae unknown there, he did the job and got his fee. As he was leaving, he was taunted as a beggerly Scot, doing- for money what no English- man evould. But he answered with a cheerful grin, "rit hang ye a' at the same peke." Sidney Coram, the well-known adver- tising expert, said at a tecent banquet of advertising men in Sioux City: "Deceit in oilvertising results in ruin. It's like deceit in telephoning. "Thus, the other morning, a daughter said to her mother in alarm: "'Why, what's the matter, mamma. You're as red as a tomato, and your eyes *are more glittering than when you had the fever!

In less time thati. it takes to tell it, Ito had regained her side, and was hold- ing one of the canteens to her lips, beg-. ging her to drink, long and cemously, all forgetful that he liiineelf had, tasted neither food nor drink for alm.ost forty- eight hours. It was not until Norine had waste would he take food or drink himself, and when he did so, it seemed to put new life in him. "You must wrap this dark 'blanket around you, Norine," he said; "it was your bright coat and hood that came near costing us so dear." • "Can we not move on, doe?" she plod - ed. "My limbs are so cramped that it is hard work to it here any longer," "It would not be wise to do so, Nor- ine," he replied, "for the reason that half a dozen scouting parties of redskins, attracted by the sound of the firing, may be hurrying toward. this spot at this identical moment!. If upward oil an hour passes and none approach, it will be well enough to leave this hiding place." Even exhausted as she was from her strained position, Norine said to herself that whatever Joe concluded to do must, certainly be wisest and best Thus it proved to be, for almost as soon as they had appeased their thirst and huuger from the proviaions and water of the savages, they heard the Pawnee warwhoop in the distance. The sun 'had, shown itself but for a brief half hour when it had arisen, and now it had entirely disappeared behind a huge bank of dark, leaden clouds, and it had begun to snow heavily. Joe was thankful for this for two res.- sons-firstd because the heavily falling snow would more effectually screen them froin view,and secondly, because their i footprints n the deep snow below would be obliterated very quickly. "Heaven is m•erciful to us, and God is with us," he murmured. As the sound of the • approaching In - dans fell upon Noriniee ear, a, great cry, of terror broke from her lips, "We are lost- this time, Joel" she cried, wildly; "we are lost! 'esti lostl" It was all that he could do to assure her that their chances of escaping dis- cover/ were far better than on the for- mer occasion. "Be brave, and control yourself," he urged, "and all will yet be well. Keep up, Norine-let that be my prayer to you -when they come within earshot. Remember, their hearing is keen -in- tensely keen. You must not betray our presence by the slightest sound." "I will do my best to -to -be brave," answered the girl, catching her breath with a suppressed sob. His eloquent look thanked her more earnestly than any words could have done. doe realized how eichaustesd she must be from the enforced position, and to how great a tefision her nerves mast be streteeed, and he pitied her from the depths of his great, loyal heart- If he could have given every drop of that heart's blood to same her from the agony she wa-s undergoing, he would gladly have done so. It Was the bitterest of torture to him to look on and flee her in distress, with no means of alleviating her sorrow. He had wrapfped the dark blanket around her, sheltering her from the cold, and raa:343 her as comfortable as he counld. He could do no more now then await the oncoming of the savages hoping from the .depths of his soul that there would be no more bloodshed for her in- nocent young eyes to behold. Looking through the trees toward the westward, he saw them approaching, running forward, as fleet of -foot as the forest buck, and a thousand timea more ferocious to the gaze. . "Close your eyes, Norine, and you will not see, he whispered; "and if you oould but, close your eare, you would be spared the hearing of their wild shouta." Norine closed. her eyes, and pressed the heavy blanket down clooe over her ears, as he had suggested -to hut out, aa far as was possible, the horrible sounds. Onward crime the Pawnees; when at last they sighted their three 'ellen thm- rades lying stiff and. stark under the trees, their rage blew no bounds. ,Toe knew full leen that if they fell into the hands of the savages in that hour, they would show them no pity -no mercy. He could even decipher that niueh from their wild expressions, as they showed eaeh other the wounds on the dead. Re heard them say: "Catch quiek male and girl, and we eat hearts" Again doe thanked Heaven that Nor- ine did not understand their language, or realize their diabolical threats, as they faced each other in awful rage. Notizie did not see or hear, her head Was so muffled up within the great, heavy folds of the blanket. Thee followed a most exciting expres- sion of their feelings, its they held the cuetomary war-dasnee around their fall- en con -Wades, which signified that they should be most epeedily avenged. Their wild howls, whith deepenee into demoniac yells, were horrible to hear, in their blood -out -citing shrdillness. Then, as suddenly m they had begun, they becalm quiet, and one of their number wined to be laying out a eourrie of pro. *edam Although Joe did his best to letar and understand, this time their language got the better of hint; not one word could he comprehend.

With bated breath, Joe watehed and .waited in painful anxiety to see what they intended to do next, How long would the two !entries width they had left behind them remain under the tree? Fire upon them he dare not, 4or by • We time the Wrest, was probably alive with scouting parties, There was another thing that troubled Joe intensely, and that was that neither Nortne nor himself would be able to hold out much Imago; exhansteduature would alowly but surely assert itself, and the result woul4 be that they would become too benumbed to maintaiu, their hold upon the branches much longer or their seats upon the limb of the tree, whith the oncoming wind stoma was. be, ginning to sway forward an(Qeackward. If the wind freshened into a gale within the next -half hour, all would. be over with them; they would fall head- long down -ay, down to the feet of the sentries standing motionless beside their dead at the foot of the tree. Already Joe felt a lassitude creeping over him which he seemed unable to shake of. CHAPTER XXXIL But at the moment when verything seemed darkest, a bright gleam of joy brightened their hearts, for the savagerw soddenly determined to quit their vigil. Before doing thts, however, they took great care to earefully cover their fallen braves meth great heaps of Mow, Joe's cheeks blanched as he watched them. He knew full well why they had taken that precaution- they realized that the wolves that infeeted-that beam, ily wooded &reed would soon put in an appearance, end their own safety de- manded that they- should leave witb a little delay is possible. The way in which they packed the snow about the bodies told Joe that, and the great pains thity took to scrape away every vestige of the dideolored snow and heap clean 1111QW about it. This completed, with a strange, uncanny chant, that ceoemune.ded horribly weird, they retreated slowly in the way in which they had Norine watched her companion mute- ly, and he knew the question she would ask, and answered it, "Yes, we will leave our perilous hid- ing place, but the danger we may meet will require all our fortitude. Whether we go or stay, the danger is the same. Are you equal to it, little Norine? It is only for you I fear -only for you." 'Wherever you lead 1 can follow," she answered, with attempted bravery'. Without another word of comment he helped her down from the tree in which she had found refuge for so many long hours. For a moment her limbs seemed so henuraber that it was with the utmost difficulty that she could -take a single step. Joe notecl it, and it wrung his honest heart with the keenest pain; and, weak as he was, he would have carried her in his arm, if she would have permitted him to do so. Every step they took was ,,fraught with the gravest danger, but ,Toe did his best to let Norine mind dwell upon this. He saved her front every pang of distress possible. "If we can but reach the main road, all will be well," he whispered to her over and over again. "Four stages cross the mountain daily, you know, and we would. not have so long to wait to catch ono of them." Joe dared not follow the -main path; the danger of meeting some stray band of Pawnees was too great, so they threaded their way through the thick underbrush, with much difficulty, mak- ing very little progress. If he had been alone, he would have pushed onward with much inore speed; having Norine to care for, he wasobliged to continue the journey. The redskins and the beasts of prey were not the only foes he feared; the mountain forest was the home of the deadly moccasin snake, and many other venomous species, as well. That they didnot attack prey in the winter months- being at that tithe in a comatose state -had been disproved by full many a traveler who had nearly lost had nearly lost their lives along that mountain road by coming suddenly in contact with a nest of them hidden beneath some shelving rock. ' For an hour ortmore they made their way onward, Joe cheering her to con- tinue her efforts by cheery words. But at length, tired nature asserted itself. "/ cannot go any farther, Joe" she faltered; "I am so tired -so tired." He could see that she spoke the truth. She was too exhausted to proceed an- other step; there was nothing for it but to let her rest. Parting the branches of a great, hea- vy bush, he bade leer seat herself, mur- muring: "You shall rest here, my peter little girl, and 1 will watch over you." Seating her, he proceeded to wrap the • blanket about her with as much care as a loving mother might have done. "Olose your eyes and try to sleep a little, Norine," he said: "there is noth- ing like sleep to freshen one up." "I know it, doe," she answered; "but it seems as though I would never be able to close my oyes again. Tired as I ate, they will not shut.' "You must shut them resolutely, like this, and keep them closed," he answer- ed, throwing himself down on the ground at e little dietence front her, and clos- ing his eyes, by way of example. Heaven only knew how it happened, but even while he spoke to her, the words trailed slowly toward the last of the sentence, and ere they had scarce- ly died away on his lips his head fell gently forward and IsTortne saw that the poor fellow had dropped into a deep bleep. "Poor, faithful Joel it is I who will watch over you," thought Norine, no- ticing how pale and Wan he looked. Rxhatested though she was, the aid not mem to be aide to close le* eyes to rest them, despite joe's earned, ad- vice. As she eat them her thoughts revert- ed to Clifford Caritele, an his falsity and desertion of her. She wondered that the blow of find- ing out how little he really eared for her had not killed her. She seemed to have but tt eonfated idea of ail that had taken plea ou that memorable ocession between her /else lover mut Chovvisky, the half-breed; she remembered the uneeptetea encountre and that Clifford Oarlitle had ignomini- ously fled from her. What eke had hap- pened. at that thee, try as she would, the could not recall. In that hour she had realised gest her grand/40eestimate of the bead - some, debonair etranger had been but too true. The knowledge that he did not love hoe...could never have trely loved her- bed, been a death blow to Iter happineee. "ft has broken my heart ----I ecu never lovesa.gain," moaned Islorlue, her lips quiverng with pitiful emotion. She realized poor Joe's love for her now as she had never realized it before; but alas! when ONO loves another, there is ,no affection to give elsewhere, deep as her pity might be for him. She looked at Joe'scareworn fiiee,•and her heart aehesl tor hint. As yet the had not luul the opportunity to tell itim how cruelly he had been misjudged by his friends and neighbors -that they quite believed he had, abscouded with the express compney's money --never (keening that he had fallen into the hands of the (leave -eels Pawnees. And as she folToived this thought out, she remembered suddenly the half. breed'e expressed determination to de- stroy the village of Hadley and raas- snore the iniethitaute, Oh, God! had thew nefarious, design been put into execution.

She tried to sprit% to her feet, but her limbs refused to obey her; uor eould She utter the -cry 011 her lips; her every nerve !teemed paralyzed. And as the memento passed, the world seeinecl to slip from her; the deep 'snow seemed to melt aod, stretch away into green pastures, where bright -hued flowers rioted in, the *sunshine and birds eang the sweetest of melodies am- ong the green, wowing branches. At her feet a purling rivulet leaped over its white, pebbly bed, tinnehlg onward With a whirling rush, pausing net to admire the enowwhite lambkine that eerie down to its mossy brink to slake their thing as they stood knee deep in the sweet, pink clover. Then, slowly, the singing of the little rivulet at her feet seem- ed to cease, the birds' notes were still- ed, and the terrible tillness around and about her seemed to grow oppressive. Something shone like, twhi scintillating diamonds at her feet, aanong the wild flowers. The sparkling jewels seemed to wave 41 And fro -- t0-- ande--- fro- impelling her almost uncon- sciously to sway te and fro to keep time with them.

The clos- est social life brings all very near toge- ther. He enters -a store, selects his de, sired merchandise. When he proffers payment he finds that his Wiley is not wanted. There is no thane. He seeks other stores for various articles, it is the same. He cannot spend money. Eveeerthing is free. No one wants money; no one has any use OT need for money. The commercial equilibieum of the city is stable, however. Everyone finds his highest joy in doing what he can do best for others, and so no one laelcs anything: ]very want is generously and cheerfully supplied. Everyone is perfeetly content.
