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

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

What we want Is a tough, bard beaded

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.

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

the train at Mluot, hut rather a trim

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- :

Herkamer's gi-lmncs Increased. He !

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

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
