"You've lived here a long' time," said the dputy. "Tivcntyeven years this spring," re plied Tucker. "Made some lit lie chances in that time, too. Mighty nlyli this whole claim waa thick woods when I fust seen it. " T vis a cur'ous thing, too. I'll tell you how 'twas. You see, I kinder tfot a notion that it would be a (rood ii!cn to take up some pov'imnt land, so I rode up here from Santa Crur., 10 mi!;, ever a pesky bad trail, and my fr'i'ni, 1 lie Cruwfordk, over here on the K..u Li;im zo. they showed' me this quarter-section. "There was a little shack of a cabin on the place, built by Tom Tutor, a feller who ured to hunt und trap for a livin", but he never pre-empted the land, and at that time he'd trone to Arizona. So I took up the ranch, without any idee of trouble, and then went bnek to Santa Cruz to jrit some things, 'cause 'cordin' to law you had to live on your claim six mouths lie fore you could prove up. "Hut the next time I come up. Mal colm Crawford he told me that he'd heard' there was another fclli r pros pectin' 'round my ranch. He'd been up there himself with his gun to inquire about it, but didn't tee nobody; but he saiil I'd better tflt up tliere as quick as the Lord would let me and hold down the claim. "I left my horse at Crawford's, 'cause there wa'n't much feed In the woods, and made up a pack of tk nr. baron, rof fie and siii;:ir. uud Malcolm lent me a shotgun that he said milit come in h 'tuiv. On the way up I fired both bar rels of the gun nt some quail, uud then I found that I'd forgot to bring any am munition. "Everything was still ax death, ex cept the crickets chirpin' with alone some sound, nudi I put the things In the cabins There wasa little.fireplarr built of mud and sticks In one end. with a chimney of split board, and I built a fire to cit a bite of supper. "As I was standiu' in the doorway fi elin' kinder doleful, I see a man w ith a pack on his back comin' up the frail. He wa-s stout nul his face was pretty red, and when he see me It got quite a bit redder. lie come up putlin' and sei'ined put out 'hnut somethiiur, und jest then It come into my head that mi'bbe he was the other feller. '"What you doin' In that cabin?" he says, real cross. " 'My residence nt present,' anya I. 'Won't you come In?' " 'None o' your hlarsted saree wi' me,' he says. 'This 'ere is my claim, und I want you to pit off it directly.' '"You're laliorin' under a slight mis take.' s.iys I. 'This is my claim; but you needn't be in a hurry 'bout iroiii'. Stay till mnrr.in, anyway. Darned if 1 am t c'ad of company.' "Wt II. talked nubile, and he kep' (fittiti' madder am! mudder. "'You've g:t the nihMiutare of me now,' he roars out. 'but if it wa'n't for that bloody gun you've (rot so 'andy I'd put jou out of my eubin quirker'n a wink.' '"You needn't fret about the pun,' 1 says. (I'd left it outside leanin' against the cabin.) 'W hy, I fired off both bar rels at some quail down here, and I didn't hrinp a mite of ammiinitlot. with me.' " 'You earn't come it on me,' he suys, kinder Kiirerin'. 'You'd like to hentice me to come on and theu let me 'ave it, wouldn't you'." "'Well, take t.he pesky (run and see for yourself," I says, holdiu' it out to ward him. "'No, you don't, oII amoothy,' he says, turnin' away. " 'Inline in and have a Iwte of supper, anyhow,' I t.iys. 'The water's liilin' and I'll make some coffee in a jiffy.' 'Tie frnmihltd something and went off and camped under an oak tree a lit tle way off. That's t he very tree down there by the barn. "I'd di.lie my best to be sociable, so I made my coffee and fried soire bacon. Some way 'twas kinder pleasant to see the other feller's- Hie. but he looked mighty rruty and didn't have a word more to say. "After sup"per I lit a piece of candle and read a newspaper that I'd brought from town, but I got sleepy pretty quick and spread my blankets in the bunk. 1 shut the door and put a prop Bgin it not that I wa afraid, but I j.srt happened to think that I didn't rwilly know any thing about the other feller. "I wa off to sleep in a minute, and the next, thing I knew waa seein' a big glare of light and fei lin' things gettin' pesky hot. I jumped up. and, Lord! if the whole end of the cabin wa'n't in a blaze! "'(Josh all hemlock!" I swys.

My blood all turned to ice and my hair brls-tled like a shoe brush. It was a soft but heavy tread and a loud, hoarse breathin' jest ouside the cabin close to my head. And then I siy.elt something like a pig-.t y. I Irnew well enough w hat it was. There was only the thieknesw of a split clapboard between me and big grizily bear!

"The liear walked vlowly around the cabin, breathin' as if he had the asth ma. Pretty soon 1 saw him through the apli.n's. and knew he could brush 'em away like smoke.

Eczema is caused by au acid humor in the blood coming in contact with the ikiu and producing great redness and in flammation ; little pustular eruptions form ind discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which dries and scales off ; sometimes the skiu is hard, dry and fi.-uured. Eczema in any form is a tormenting, stubborn disease, and the itching and burning at times are almost unbearable; the acid burning humor seems to ooze out and set the skin on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter nal applications do any real good, for a long as the poison remains in the blood it will keep the skin irritated. BAD FORM OF TETTER.
