1 looking man. who was setting on a heg !

1 drank mure and more of the whiskey, i
i- "Yes, it does,” he snarled. “Mighty [

to the other side of the lire where .1
1 group of the younger men were sitting
1 talking of its being Christmas eve and
! “the old folks al home.”
“What’s that you say?” roared Brawny
Pete, raising his big shaggy head and
folioiving Huffy Hanks with ids eyes--
'.yes in which there had begun to gleam
a. dangerous light. "What’s that? Tho
j hull company paid for it, did they? Well,
' i d like to knoAv if 1 didn't pay my share,
j en ff it wvzn't me who stuck the first

| Huffy Hanks turned and his face was
I white ami drawn as he gazed Into the ;
■ furious eyes of his enemy. Although i
j small of stature he was equal to any 1
! man in eamp in courage and brute 1
strength.
."I ll take to cussing from you nor no- 1
body el.-e, and you have got to take it j
back ” lie hissed through bis set teeth, 1
coming forvvard and snatching one of ,
the knives.
“Take it ba< k!” erled Brawny Pete I
reaching for his piste), "I’ll see you deud i
first. ’’
But from a corner, where lie bad been i
svttina, his golden head 0:1 his handr,
sprang a boy.
“No! No! Men no! For God’s sake do ’
rot light. Co back, Hufiy; and you, I
Pete, a <m nr” mad AAith drink, you don't
kt."Av what you are doing. When you are
sober you are the best of friends.”
“Out of the way, kil,” roared P'tc, •
"no foolin’ erbout this. This is men s
business," and he tried to push the boy
aside, for he had thrown himself be- ;
j tween them.
Huffy Hanks, becoming more furious
al the delay, came forward and with a i
muffled oath made a lurch at Pete with ,
the keen, sliimtm ring blade. Ho missed
his aim and Pete fired. Al! was smoke |
and confusion for a minute rind the !
sound of heavy foot steps. When the ■
smoke .‘bared away there lay the boy, j
Will Bionsou, b- tween the two dazed 1
men, with a bullet hole through hit
shoulder. He lay there, one hand on his •
breast, with the other by hi. side, rnd ■
his. fair hair falling back from bis fore- 1
bead and closed eyes—a perfect picture i
of d<alb.
Pete and Huffy Hanks looked at each i
o her in dismay, while the "lb r men I
hastily bur - the unconscious boy to tho !
nearest bunk and began to adminlst'.r |
restoratives.
Just thcii a loud knocking was heri.’d. i
| at the door and 0:10 of the miners went I
forward and opened it.
Followed by a < loud of snow and a j
gvst of evir.d that sent the sparks flying |
up tin- cavernous chimney, a. man stum- >
bled forAvard, holding in in - arms a child j
The child, a. boy of perhaps seven
years s'.rainbled down atu.J ran tviAva us !
the fire, showing plainly that whoevi-r .
Imd borne ’.he brunt <>l ho storm, it avuh
not him. But the man. with a sigh |
he gazed about him, totlered and fell
I cn a pile, of skins neat the uoor.
By this time the boy of the shooting ;
THE WEEKLY
scrape. Will Bronson, had slowly come
back to life- “It’s all rijc'nt. Only a
i cratch," he whispered, as he opened his
blue eyes on the sturdy, kindly faces of
i the miners bending over him. "It will
' soon stop hurting—and—l’ll bo well and
j strong.’’
■ They forced some whisky down his
! throat and tn ide way of a thick set,
kindly faced miner who was generally
I looked upon as being the "doctor of
i the camp. After a hurried examination
he told them the wound would not prove
fatal; that it was only a clean cut holo
through tho shoulder Just missin® the
bone.
With the help of one or two others ho
scon had the wound bandaged in a fairly
, good condition, showing that lie had had
i at least practice In that kind of work.
| propped the now fully catifcious
■ buy in as comfortable a position as pOs
i slble on the rude bunk and having
! Brawney Pet. sitting mute ami mlser
; able by lu’s side, they turned their at
i tention to the sick stranger,
' The child who had run forward so
I eagerly to the fire had gone back to
where his father lay unconscious on the
floor and wits’ crying pitifully in bis b' by
voice for recognition.
The men brought them both closer to
i the lire and giving the child a piece of
; bread, seated him on a box while they
I worked on the man. They rubbed him
and beat his frozen feet until circulation
was at last procured. Slowly he regain
ed consciousness anti with almost bls
first breath murmured tn a weak and
almost Inaudible voice:
“My ba.by—my—my baby boy. Is he
i here? T>ld he—freeze? I tried so~-so hard
1— to— k -ep him—warm. 1 left home—to
| hunt—top her. Ah! it cannot—can’t be
| true. She—could not—have been —so
| false. She left—me and—the boy atone—
i never to return. Oh! God—it Is not true
;- My wife—she must be here! How cold
it is—my baby—la almost freez—ing. Eddy
—there—there is a light—don’t cry!”
He opened his eyes and gazed at ths
kindly, pitying faces above him in a
blank, dreamy manner and murmured
cm as if unconscious of their presence.
All could see the night had been too
much for him It would have taken a
stronger man than this one to have been
able to come through those woods in
th..* teeth of the blizzard alone, and this
fzoll mar, had borne a precious burden
in his arms.
The boy, seeing his father looking to
ward tlie fire and hearing ills name
called, ran to him. The rough miners
| moved .aside as lie pushed hi» way
i among them, crying in his baby voice,
I "Papa, papa, here 1 is.”
1 The i hild’s voice seemed to go through
I the sick man’s whole being. Ho turned
j tOAA-ai\l the little fellow and a faint smlis
, curved his drawn white lips.
“Is that—you, Eddy?" he asked, reach
, Ing- his hand toward him and patting his
curly head. "Y- «—papa is—getting warm
| now. Are you—warm, baby?”
"Yes. sir. J'-e good an’ warm now,"
i said the child kissing his father’s pr'e
I lipn.
"1— am so— so glad. There now— kiss
: —papa— again. Eddy— tell me, 1 mean
. sav your little prayers for— me.”
The child knell obediently by bis fa
. thei g Sa": AAith one hand clasping his.
It was a beautiful picture, lighted only
bv the camp lire. The innocent baby faco
uplifted; his soft, curly’ brown hair and
ollie cy .i making him look almost like
an angel, a.-, he knelt there; his dying fa
i ther on one side and the group of rough,
tender-hearted men on the other, and
■ above all the melancholy howl of the
wind in tile tree tops.
, “Dear Jesus, you who loves little boys,
bless and keep me through the night.
| Bless my papa, anil mamma and every-
■ body who is good and dear Jesus, make
! all bml people g..od, I am so glad I am
j out of the cold ai.d that papa .and me is
i warm. Oh! Lord, help me to be a good
little boy and altvays love you. Amen.”
j The map. reached for flic child and with
tear.' glistening in his fast glazing eyes
: he kissed him again and again as he
I droAv him passionately to his heart.
j Every man in I hat. room was touched,
i Gruff mim-rs daslu-d th-? tear-- f;-nm their
j eyes with the backs of their rough, !a
bor-ha'dened hands, and others coughed

lump that Avar rfstug in their throats—■

Turks Getting Fine Fortune fioin
Sunken Treasury Ship.
(From The Jeweler's Circular.)
i Readers have heard of the search under- ,
I taken by Greek divers under the L'ni I '--
ish government and the treasure dJ-cu- .
I ered In the Russian admiral's ship, n.t? ,
| at Tcherman al the time of the nus al |
battle of 1770. when tl ’ Turkish tie r ;
i was completely destroyed. The search
I has continued with striking siic'.'ess. ;
, These fortunate divers have bee.-me ■
I rich, but the Turkish government also .
| ha.s obtained some large amounts, ma?-
I much ns it has reserved for itself the ;
i lion’s share. The fad is that the Rus- i
j sian vessel, which sank in a depth of 50 ;
| fathoms, abounds in pieces of gold and
| silver. At first the divers paid att n-
I tlon to the former only, of which they ;
! found full sacks. These pieces are mostly j
i single, double and quadruple ducats.
I ft already has be':i announced that on ;
| the first shipment to Constantinople tin? ;
I divers obtained so: their part the sum "t ;
276,000 francs. The daily w.uk of tho i
divers amounts to from 5,000 to 10.000
i pieces of gold. A special boat of the ad-
i miralty, manned !>y officer?; >.t (h? Turk- .
' Ish navy and by i government Inspector, ;
'is stationed continually a’ this point.
I Each sack drawn from the water is reg- |
I (stored, the pieces counted and a receipt
j given to the diver.-;. It appears that the
i bottom of the sea is strewn with silver .
pieces, which biv. • the dimension? and
the weight of French crowns of 5 francs. ;
I Besides this mone>. th.- divers have i
drawn up various other precious objects, r
I gold and sliver crosses, j'-wels, images, 1
; swords, vanes, especially an evangel, of i
I which the binding u_f v.old is o: r imei.t-'U .
| with precious stones of great value.
■ ’Phis is not the first time that such i
I enterprises have been undet taken for the j
| purpose es discovering ricb“s burled in i
| the sea, but they h ive seldom yv-id< J the ;
' dc-sire.l results. It would be '.iliileult. to i

CITY CROWDING.

(From Thr- Century Magazine.)
I The modern crowding of the population
into cities Is a factor of th.? first impor

the virtues of country populations and
extravagantly disparage the moral con

overlooked that the profound change-,

by the aggregation into citie? of so large
a part of the population. We are ent'

city life- The offspring of those whose
oceupa lions are sedentary, who use stim- j
I plants, lead Irregular and excited lives, ,
must, with few exceptions, suffer from ,
inherited irritability of the nervous sys- ,

tricity of impulse must be the result, and
