Conrad, (lount Damonoll, Boruewhtit pult and wcuk, but yet on the t uxo road to health, moved slow ly forward and took the hand of the joyous bride. Then ho reached forth the other hand and took the palm of Jiuric, and m ha thus held both their hands he said : Sfr lord and ladv, and, I must aay, my beet of frumda, let this mo rfcDt atone for all of darkness be tween ua in the pwt. lie you happy both, and may Ood bless you.

"Aye," cried It uric, grasping the count hand more firmly, "let the future show how grateful we can all be for the blessings of this hour, and while we look to Ood for help we will not fail to remember in our prayers the author of our joys our noble emperor, i'etcr of Kursia. And so closed the sccno as it should with one long, loud shout ol "Ood bleaa our emperor I" Peter never forgot that moment In the long year thereafter when he sometimes let the clouds of pas- sum settle upon his soul he remem bered that sceno and that shout. It waa one of the bright spots in the memory of hi youth which he cher ished always. Til B.IB.

Near him, with her head bcut forward in au anxious, half ex pectant attitude, was his mother, on whose not unattractive face were the lines of toil and suffering. "Well, George," she finally said, "why don t you read it r "I ran hardly make it out, moth er," her son replied, "but it's new, and he says he got the receipt from one of the grout piano makers in New York.

I cs, ucorge, said the woman, a slight flush tingcing her pale face: "but you've tried so many kinds of dope, and they all failed. Im afraid it's your way of riling, dear." 21y way of riding!" exclaimed the young man, and he looked up and ran his hands through his curly hair. "Why, there isn't a man in I'lumas county who can tons more snow in a day, lift more, stand more, than can I. ilia mother said nothing. She sighed if ho locked up at tho enow covered windows, then glanced at her companion with an expreion that combined pride and pity. The young man had not overstated his prowess. Ho was a giant, a colooeus in strength, seven feet tall, but so thin, so long of limb, so strangoJy drawn out that for miles around ho was known as "Long Barton" anil ianglcXoot. lie was a miner, like his father, who had been killed in an avalanche two sensons before. Tho winter had set in early, and a succession of snowstorms had buriod the littlo hamlet of a dozen houses so doep in the snow that around the Barton homo it was nearly 30 feet on tho level, and tho hamlet, so far as appearances went, had beem wiped out of existence and lay with all its domestic life under tho snow. The entire malo population had dug the Burtons out, as in previous winters, the operation consisting in begin ning a Bhoot CO feet from the front opening upon?"

Ous Linubcrg offered him $10 for a cupful, but he woulda't lock at him, and he's given it out that he expects to win.'' "ITo'll win if the prizo is for ty ing hi lejn into knots," laughed the storekeeper. "He can't eju;il the time he wtmt to Miss Tate' party and slipped at the head of their shoot It was 7? feet if it was foot, and he went sliding down liko a log of redwood a mile a minute. The front door wus shut, and he struck it feet first and lunded right in the party, hid legs all in knots. The ski races had been announced for a week, and Long Burton had entered. The grand prize vea $?50, and he believed he could win it. But on tho morning of the event his mother mado some excuse for re maining home and was the only wo man in the hamlet not present at the races. Sho could not bear to witness his defo.it. Tho course was on the slopes of the sierras, a splen did hill 2,000 feet long, slippery as glass, and of so eharp an angle that a man could not ascend it, and once on it with skis, it was a race like tho wind for nearly half a mile, then out on to a gradual slope into the valley, where the little villaee Jay buried. Every town or villago in Plumas and bierra counties of any preten sions had a ski club, and many of the membera were exports who hud performed wonderful fuats, ar1 for a man's life against th 'kid's.

"Won't bread and water do V ! "It might for oi;ii" rotorted the driver, '"but this baby's not built that wav. She nant milk, uml 1 won t touch been trying man here thing I" And the speaker raised his voice. Every miner present knew that it was impossible to get out of tho mountains, even if it was not snow ing, until the snow had settled. Ev ery one recalled the names and faces of men who had met death trying to cross tho sierras ill storms, and for a few momenta no one answered. Then, as the driver pulled tho blan ket over the littlo figure, which he held closer to his breast, a voice said : "Well, if the baby wants milk, she's going to havo it ; don't you for get it, boys." And Long Barton edged through the crowd and took the child in his arms. lie rolled it up in the coverings the stago driver had taken off. Then he pulled on his snow cap and, followed by tho men to the door, went out into tho storm. ' ' ' ; "Woll," exclaimed Reel Ftacey, "I'd have picked 'Tanglefoot' the xmm , anything tlae.

Stor month give tho simplest and beet role concerning them which we have oome aurora, lie says: "Into comes after a yerb denoting motion, and ta follows a yerb denoting rest." Thia gives tho iden comprehensive ly, but k miwt not bo taken Ltcral 1. Thus it is entirely proper to say "Ho fell in tho street." The person referred to may have been miking or standing still when he Ml. lie was, however, already in tn street, and therefore when ho fcJl he did iioi move into it. If, howwver, ho wus in a building or sher structure facing tho street and h fell, landing in tho street, it would thou bo proper to say "He Ml Into the street." In is frequently an adverb, and fcf such oases it should bo used after a wrb denoting motion. For ex sxpl ft m correct to say "He came V o one who had been nuked to mate a house.

I rom this timo the at tic window had been tho Cront door. Qoorga had cut stcpsiup tho burrow, and the Bartons, as the postmaster remarKoti, were "in society again.' The chimney had been spliocd with pieces kept for the purpose, so that the top reached the surface of the snow, and as Oeorgjc had piled a plentiful supply of wood in the nouse in 'September -and tlicro was an abundance of candles, oil and provisions things were as comforta' bio in the Barton home as in any house in the placet 20 or more feet undcr'the snow. But there is a skeleton in every household, it ia said, and in tho Bar ton homo it was pndo and debt. Tho older Bacrton had left a mort- gago on tho .house, which was soon to expire, anil tho mortgagee wished the money. lie lived in theicity, 600 miles distant, and did not aire for a risk where itho security was liable to be crush wit beneath 30 fcctlof snow, as both I'xumas and Sicrrajcountics were famous for heavy snowfalls. Georgo Barton had not been able to save enough money fox the mort gage. Avalanches had) covered tho mines and kept him .from work. Then 'one night in returning homo no could not lml the sluoot and had wandered oil and .when discovered was badly frozen. It was the custom in the Tillage for tiie miners when going to work to plant a staff with a rag streamer at the entrance of the shoots, so that they could find thoir homes if a storm.camo up. But the wind had blown .Barton s flag down. Then there was another trouble. For a number of yvars George Bar ton had lcen a contestant in: the ski races which are the principal" amuse ment of the people of ttteso counties of California in winter, Imt in every one ha had born defeated more, humiliated, as twica unaOile to con trol his long legs, he hud at first wabbled, then slipped and gone down tho slido upon his baek amid tho roars of laughter anfl gihes of the crowd of 1 spectator "The funniest thing nbcaif it." re marked the. storekeeper, V that Goorgo thinks he can- rid; nd al waysdays it to his skisior the 'dope.'

Tho curious Norwegian snowshoes, which were eight foet long, four inches wide and half an inch thick, wcro being given their final poliBh, every contestant having bis OCTjocial "dope," which was hia secret. Apart from tlw others stood tong Barton strapping on his 6kis, which had a polish such as had never been soen before. They gleamed in the sun with dazzling brilliance If "dopo" counted, there were thoee who be lieved that "Tanglefoot" would win. Uhe first signal waa given, and the men hnod up, their Jong skia extend cd forward, their bodies in various positions. Each racer bore a lonit BUiir, or starter, borne held it on one side, somo between their legs, while others extended it ahead, and as the word was given each man gave a mighty shove and projiicted himself down the terrific slide. They Bhot over the edge like a wave of water over a fall and seemed to rush into space, then sank so rapidly .... . from view that they were gone be fore the excited onlookers realized it. The speed increased rapidly, and in 10 seconds waa like that of a fast trotter, at 15 it waa emial to the fastest train of cars, and at 20 the best men were holding their breath, as it was impossible to breathe at such speed, and the slightest swerve would send them off the track. From tho side the scene was a frightful one, as it was hard to believe that human beings could preserve their position and not bo dashed to pieces under such extreme velocity. But the line swept on, a few of the racers surging ahead. Half way down, and four are in advance, two-thirds, and one tall figuro is leading. It is Long Barton, lie is rushing with the speed of light. The new "dopo" is carrying him on to victo ry. Ho knew it; nis teeth were set; his heart was in his mouth the goal was just ahead. Then some thing happened. IIo swerved a tenth of an inch: a piece of Ice caught tho channel of his polished ski, perhaps, and the next second tho line of racers rushed liko the wind by a figuro rolling over and over, its legs, arms and long skis seemingly tangled In a hopeless knot. 'Tanglefoot" had lost acain. and tho loud laughter and gibes of the spectators rang in his cars as. iiau stunned, no sua to tne bottom and picked himself up. .To their credit, the winners did not laugh. It was tho crowd on tho hill, and Barton took off his skis and. avoid ing them, walked over the snow and was lost to sight in the shoot that led to bis home. That night, as was tho custom. there was a ball, and st the earnest wish of his mother Long Barton went. But he took no part in the entertainment and sat by the stove and watched tho merrymakers. knowing well thut he was the butt of them all. Lata at night, while he still looked on, it crowd gathered st the door around a man who had jut arriyed Reel Btaccy, the stago driver. Hone vou folks has extra or tires on your chimneys and flngs out," ho said. "It's banked 5ft feet at E ans, end th 30 foot marks on the pirn's are covered, snd it's snowing nice it win never sfon. liut thats not whfit I romp for.' hp ronf iniwd. unrolling a bundlo. blanket after Pioom. morphine, chloroform or ether. What George Burton said to hw mother no ono knew. Time was the essence of this transaction, ami in a very Bhort while ho came up tho shoot clad in his furs, the buhy wrapped in a fur bug which was slung under his arm. I le carried hie staff in his hand, a revolver in his pocket for wolves, and on his booted feet were the skis which the incom parable "dopo" had polished so that ne could hardly stand. A moment Inter he waa loot to view. The same doggwl persistency which had led Long Burton to be lieve that ho could win the race made him think that he could carry the baby to safety If he had boen ask ed an hour before if a man could do this, ho would havo said no. He strode up the littlo valley, keening in tho center, with the walls of the sierras, snowclnd, trembling with avalanches on either sido and in an hour struck the. straggling forest. IIo knew tho trees well and for five miles kept the trail. Then ho came to the first slope. By the aid of his staff ho made a rapid slide, reaching tho bottom of the canyon safely in a few seconds. And this was to be his experience climbing and slid ing. The next hill was so soft that he was breathing hard when he reached half way. Then ho folt a tremble, a nameless thrill, and tho entire side of the mountain seemed to give way, and he was carried irre sistibly down on the wings of an av alanche. Ho made desperate strug gles and by a miracle kept near the top and after much labor dug him self out It had stopped snowing as ho started down the canyon, now slid ing, now leaping, the famous "dope carrying him well and fact.
