It can't be miss If what be was not At this moment came a stumbling outside and an Ineffectual groping for V Copyright, lM, by frank H. Sweet the latch string, then an open ae ao : E'S come," said old Flerkamer as be came Into tlie kitchen and began to unload himself of the packages which be had brought from tlie trading post ten miles away, "an' now I reckon the neit thing will be for him to go. We ain't waited five years for a meetln' house Jent to carry It on as a nursery now we've got It I don't see what Dr. Brown was tlitukiu' on." "Is he very young?" anked Mrs. Her kamer, traimferrlug the packages to a small cupboard faatpned against the logs of the eabln wall. "Young:" und ol ; Herkamer's grim face seeined yet grimmer as It peered out through the small triangle formed by his down drawn cop and big, up turned collar. "He's younger'n our Setlvan' he couldn't apeak ten words to folks look la' at hi in to save bis life. What we want Is a tough, bard beaded man who knows our ways on' can put up with 'em. This feller's store made an' soft. I could see that soon'a the doctor Introduced him. I wouldn't be s'prlHod If he aha red every day, an' cleaned his nails an' ba-tb-ed," drawing out the word dorlslvely. "Huh! What can a feller like tlmt do with our young men? S'potie he had to tramp ten miles through a Dakota blizzard to say pra'rs over a remains; a'pone he'd meet a flghtlu grizzly In the forest; s pose some of our high speerlted boys got to chotlln' him In their b'ar cub way! Sny, whut'd he do then?" And without wait ing for what hu thought an Impossible answer to his comments old Ilerkamer turuod back to care for his team and to hasten his evening chores In antici pation of a gathering storm. When he again appeared and had emerged from the depths of his great coat his mlud still seemed to be hark ing back to his day's discontent, for be went on: . N. "Ain't old's our Beth, no; an' ain't more'n five feet four au' has hands soft's a ba by. Huh! Our old minis ter where we come from bad bands like - the bark of an old blck'ry an' could chaw terbaecy an' wrestie with s grizzly an' pitch a man through a win der when be got sassed, That's the sort we need here. Hoes sense comes 'fore book sense, an' hard bands 'for p'llteness. That's my Idee." He drew s stool to the fireplace and spread his bands out over the blsae with thawing satisfaction. One by one the grim lines of his face softened and mellowed under the fire's Influence, and presently he turned half round toward bis wife, who was preparing supper. "Of course we needn't say anything like this outside." he observed, half apologetically. "The boy ain't to blame for what he Is, an' the doctor got him here. An' furder," still mellowing, "we won't lie hard on the doctor ei ther. He's our nearest neighbor an' gener'ly does things pretty sensible. We ran pass over a slip now an' then. An' that reminds me," turning entirely round, "the doctor said he'd bring blm over this erenln' If It didn't storm too hard, an' If It did they'd likely be round tumorrer. The boy seemed spry an good natered au said he wanted to visit everybody au' get acquainted. We'll treat him rlght'a we can, for he won't le here many days. I'oor little feller! He don't realize how soon the Ixiys'll run him out. You mk-ht save the wild turkey I shot yesterday, Liza, an' thnr's plenty of venison. We'll treat him rlicht." Outside they could hear the sounds of the approaching storm, and Her kamer went to tho windows and door Bud fastened them more securely. "The doctor won't bring him out to uIkIiI," ho said as he resinned his stool by the lire, "an' I don't reckon Seth an' the half breed will come In either. LnHtay, 1 hope not. It'll be safer In the milch than rinding one's way through this snow." Hut he was mistaken, for presently there came a tramping and stamping oulslde, and as the raliln do.ir was thrown open a tall, white haired old nvin stejip-d l:i. ncvnnipaulc-1 by a boy ..-ih liiiine of lli,U but compact build.

Old Herkamer's eyes darkened a little as they rested upon blm. He did not approve of ministers In tuas.uernde. "I hardly thought you'd get over to night," he said rather shortly, "the storm" "That's Just why we came." the doc- : tor Interrupted genially. "The storm I Is likely to be a long one, and we can ! get back before It txsvmes severe.

We are apt to be prejudiced against strangers." Herkamer's gi-lmncs Increased. He ! I sa-say, open de do'!" Herkamer sprang forward to com ply, and as the door swung back a ahort, squatty figure half fell Into the room. "The half breed V ejaculated Her kamer, forgetting to shut the door In bis consternation. "What's up, Bap tlste? Where's BethT "Busted," responded Baptlste, throw ing out his arms dramatically. "Tree fall on shanty, break t'rou. Beth bust ed, me Ba'tlste busted too. Come for help, med'elue rub on." "Not dead!" gasped Mrs. Herkamer, her face whitening. "Beth ain't dead V This brought the half breed to his senses. "Non, on'y Jes' busted," he reassured her. "Leg hurt so can't walk. Me Ba'tlste busted, too; finger broke. Come for med'clne rub on. Ain't busted bad, non." With trembling hands Mrs. Herka mer produced some bottles and band ages from the cupboard; her husband reached for hla greatcoat "We must hurry back to him," he cried. "If his leg's broke It must be attended to at once. You'll have to ex cuse me," to bis guests. Baptlste raised bis squatty figure to Its full height "No good you go," he declared sturdily, "bad way t'rou' ravine. Fo' teen mile me come, all time fallln' an' cllmbln'; take five, six hour. You no strong like young man. Better me go 'lone. Go two time quick. Leg broke, want look out for soon. Me fix him, den we stay two free day an' come borne all right Bes' way." "The half breed's tight," said Dr. Brown. "If the leg's broken It needs looking after, at once, and Baptlste' Is Just ss good at that work as I am. Two old fellows like ns, Herkamer, would only be a drag on Baptlste's progress." But old Herkamer paid not the least notice. He waa resolutely humping bis shoulders Into his greatcoat when be felt a light touch upon hla arm. "You had better stay here, Mr. Her kamer," the young mlulater said quiet- one go dat fur. But we am t gom in de ravine, non. We go roun' by de hUL . De ravine no let us out, menbe, an blm berry dark now." "Well, we must remember that a man Is waiting In urgent need of help and that a barrier Is liable to block any trail. We must take no chances. You go round by the bill, and I will take the ravine with a lantern. I am used to climbing and can probably get through without any trouble." Baptlste raised his bands as though to protest, but no words came from his lips. Those straight glances were con trolling him, and hla hands fell to hla side. Tlie minister was a leader; he was to obey. When they turned toward the door the rest accompanied them. Baptists bent his head to the storm and plunged stolidly away to the bill route; the min ister waited for a few directions from Herkamer, then he strode out Into the gathering darkness toward the ravine. "Do yon think there's any chance at all of his making it?" asked Herkamer In a troubled voice as they turned buck Into the cabin. "Chance," echoed the doctor, with a curious ring In his voice, "of course I do. That young fellow is small only In size. Why, he's climbed half the moun tains lu Europe and likes nothing bet ter than a tough wrestle like this to help somebody. It's the best Job I ever did for the neighborhood, getting blm here. I was nfrald I couldn't, for he has plenty of money and only took ta the ministry through love for the work. I thought he'd want a softer place; but, no, he actually seemed pleased wheu I asked him to come out to our wild country. Of course he'll make It." And he did, but with a sheer force of will that made It linger for many a long year about the neighborhood fire sides as a story of pluck and endur ance, and when be stood lu the pulpit the next Sabbath, with one arm in a sling and his face still pale from the Journey, there was not one In the rough audience but listened with respectful and earnest attention. And later, when they crowded about blm to shake hands after service, It was not an effeminate, boyish figure they eaw, but a brave, ftrong man to whom all were more than pleased to pay homage. Souk thin j to Look Foreward Too A future home in pros pect is a good thing for the boy to look forward to. If you teach him to begin saving when young, he will not forget the habit when grown up. There can be no better investment for savings than Real Estate. It is better than the bank, for it cannot btf stolen or lost. And the boy will be sure of a shelter over his head all ready for the time when he gets married and begins to raise a family of his own. Let hira begin buying lots from me now with his sav ings and your aid; He atrorfe out into Wi "othcrlng dark-net. ty. "Your son la in need of help which should reach him Just as speedily as i possible. I am used to this sort of yy- muiH nun am youug aim strong; be sides I have some little knowledge of ' medicine, Mr. Baptlste and 1 can do j alt that Is necessary." He buttoned his coat and turned to tlie half breed, who had been listening with oen derision. I But somehow, when Baptlste met the Ortatelwl Saakea. That hoop snakes roll up hill I can vouch for on the authority of a man by the name of Bell, whom I knew In Ohio and whose statements were ac cepted as gospel truth, says Ananias Junior In the Chicago Inter Ocean. Out on his farm be bad four hoop anakee that were as tame as kittens and seemed to understand everything he said to them. On one occasion Bell starred at dder making, and after the press was started and the cider began to fill the first barrel It waa found Hint the Juice began to run out of the bar rel Joints because the hoops had not been tightened. The tools necessary to drive In the hoops were some distance away at the house, and It began to look as If the entire barrel of elder would be lost. But the pet hoop snakes took In the situation and two of them volun tarily surrounded the barrel and held It tight until the hired man came with the necessary tools. Bell told me that It was a custom of the snakes In elder making time to Im bibe cider until they became frisky and then start to run races. They had a favorite course down a hill for some 200 yards and In returning always camo back In hoop shape. WHEN HER BACK ACHES oman Finds all Her Energy and Ambition Slipping Away.
