Silent lUII.
I li.tvo htcii for nearly a year roam
; over tlio West. In llio course of my
wiimlcrliiK I camo upon ft wagon Irnln
which wns Just sttirtliitf from "tlio
StBtf'," niiiljoliicil it.
iiiu novelty boon woro oil, mil I
founil the days f.illjjuinK, thoniKhU and
hlccp only bolus desirable. I hail been
conscious for daya of it rover In my
veins, but hail hcornctl to comiilaln.atul
look a sort of fcavago delight In seeking
to do an extra amount of toll. It was
my turn to prepare supper for our mess,
butonco ready I went off tu f.ir as I
could crawl from Iho nolsu of tho camp
ami tliooilor or tho cooking. The last
I remember of that day was my drop
plug down hesldo Fomo shrubs.
Two weeks afterward 1 openoJ my
eyes on a different team than tho ono I
slatted with, nml tho driver was tho
largest, most uncouth looking man I
over saw. I laid on a straw bed, mado
upon ono sido of the wagon, and In an
swer to my call, tho strango man bent
over mo. I asked all tho questions my
strength allowed, and then waited for
tho answers. Ho told mo In tho fewest
posslblo words that I was missed from
tho train, and ho went back to look for
me. That I had "been a dead beat for
two weeks, and hail better kecpstill and
go to sleep If I could."
I obeyed, becauso I could not help It.
I received my food and nicdiclno from
tho hands of my strange-looking friend,
but it teemed impossible lo get any fur
ther Information from him."
my recovery was rapid, ami as boon
as I mado my appearance in camp I
was warmly greeted by our company
and treated to many a n extra dish by
tno Klnil-lieartcil people.
I learned that I had not been mls.-cd
till nearly noon of the day I was left,
and then they halted, and ".Silent 15111"
volunteered to look mo up, and found
me.aiid took upon himself locaro for mo
during my bIcIciich. I could nnd out
but very llttlo about tho man who had
thus brought mo luck to life. Ho had
joined the comp.iny, llko myself, at tho
last moment, had given only tho ono
name, to which tho boys added another,
until ho was c.tlled all over tho camp,
"Silent lilll." Ills tram was good, and
ho wits well supplied with provisions,
which ho generally handed out to any
one who had need.
Willi my returning strength, I felt a
strong Interest In everything ho did,
and would gladly havo been compan
ionable and useful, dut ho never called
on tno lo do anything, unless somo onu
ni'i did help, then ho would leavo tho
cnio Id mo for n lime, Ho was always
icaily to walk that others might rido ;
fatigue seemed unknown to him. Fore
most when danger Ihre.ttened was his
gaunt form, and It was always his rlllo
which brought in the earliest g.imo. It
c.uiie about that ho held thu gr.itltudo
of almost every ono in tho train, but
loiiil thanks seemed toolfend him great
l.v.
I nover saw him htsllato but unco:
then somo children, two little glrls.had
been running along with their mother.
and bho asked him to lift (hem Into thu
wagon and glvo them a rluo, as their
own loam was far behind. Ho wont up
lo ono oi mom, lain his hand on Us arm,
started back, rubbed his hands together
anil linally cnlled to mo:
"Put them In. will von'.'"
1 lifted them up nnd gavoeach a kiss
ns I sealed them upon tho straw,
llo was still looking nt his hands,
"What's tlio matter? I inked.
Ho said nothing, but held his bands
open heforo me. They wero brown and
hard,
"Aro they dirty'."' I asked.
"Yes," tnld ho emphatically, and
shot thfiu out at arms length. Then
hohlnrled his tcmn mid did not i-pcnk
again lor Hours,
All hearts bceamo lighter ns wons
cendcil tho Sierras and began to think
or uniting an abiding place.
When It enmo to leavo-taklng "I1III
was missing; Tho others (started oil"
Willi their tennis, but I staid by his un
in llio enn wtnt down. Any number
of good. byes and kindly messages wcro
left wllh moforhlm. And ono woman

to know tho full vnluo of the gift, 1(111
should havo received It as I did, wet
wllh tho mother's tears.
Vviioii ho catnu back, wo wero nlono
upon the hill. side.

With tho others'.'"
And I nnswcridi "llccauso I did not
chooso to leavo you olone, after all you
havo dono for mo. 1 shall go with you,
If you will let me, It docs not mako
much dllfercnco to mo where.''
Ho looked id mo keenly, nnd said:
"You hud better not; you will wish you
liadii t somo day."
w o nnd siarieil it lire, nnd I could sco
his faco by tho light of tho ulnae.
I felt drawn to him, not from nny
sympathy of feeling, but becauso I was
convinced thcro would como a time
when I could In a measure repay htm
for his kindness to me.
I reached out my hand and said:
"Wo'il stick together a while, old fol
low."
Hu would not tako It, but said : "Tho
kettle boll", wo inlghtabout ns well eat
our grub as to waste tlmo a talking."
I delivered to him tho messiges,
which ho received In silence, and when
I handed him the package ho only said,
"by It down."
Alter Having mado ready for nn early
start In tho morning, I wrapped myself
In my blanket, and with my feet to tho
firo lay down to sleep. When I woko
till tho blnzo had died out, but I could
sco Hill nt n distance, bending over
what proved to bo a holo In tho ground.
After a whllo bo brolto olT somo green
boughs, threw them Into tho hole, and
then hastily throw in the earth. Ho
then came and sat down by tho tire. I
watched htm for nn hour or two, but ho
never moved, and when I woko In tho
morning, he had not changed his posi
tion. o started on, but I mado an excuso
to return, and hurriedly opened tho
ground where I had seen him working
in tlio night. I do not know what I
expected to see, but I ccrlnlnly was sur
prised when 1 round under tho cover
ing of earth and green, tho llttlo pack
age, which had tearfully been intrusted
to my care.
1 broko tho string and found a small
copy nf " liunyan'rf Pilgrim's Pro
gress." " I will keep it," I said, " and when
ho needs mo most ho will need this."
When wo reached the first miner's
camp, 11111 waked up and was eager
enough until ho had scanned tho faco
of every man. That day ho looked
weary, and It was tho first tlmo ho laid
down when I did for tho night.
In tho morning ho sold his team, all
but two horses ; thoso ho packed with
blankets nnd provisions, and wo struck
off down the canon, stopping wherever
any ono was at work, and going out of
tho way If we heard of a solitary miner.
After awhile ho left oir lolling mo to
leavo him, and I think tho companion
ship mado Ii i in reel moro human. Onco
io stopped a week when I seemed tired
out, hut was restless nnd uneasy and
leclared " an other day would kill
him."
'Tell me," said I ono day, "why you
will not rest ; this life is wearing upon
you ; you cannot cmluro half tho fa-
tlguo you could upon tho Plains. Let's
tako up a claim and settle down, or If
you will go on let mo help you j
couldn't 1 '."'
"No," ho answered, and I bellevo
you nro holding mo back. I havo felt
it over sinco I first looked upon your
laco when I found you half dead by
theso bu,hes that day. I wish I had
left you die."
ue sprang up anil confronted mo, ' I
will havo no moro of this, I shall go
on alone, and don't you daro to get be
tween mo and my work or I'll "
Ills eyes fell before mine "Ho vou
think I am afraid of you '.' you, who
wouldn't harm even nn Insect. Haven't
seen you go out of tho way, rather
than tread the life out of a crawling
worm ? Shall all theso months or un-
selfish caro for other.-, bo for nothing,
ami your hasty words mako mo leavo
you." llesldcs said I, "I havo a work
a3 you." Ho looked ii.iiilringly nt me.
'Shall I tell you wlint it IsV
Ho sat down by the tiro which ho had
lighted.
"Keep still," s.ilil he, "for a month
more, and then juu may have your
H!1V ."
In tho morning when wo started out,
tho air was heavy with smoko. When
wo reached San Francisco, nftor n day
or two, wo found thero had been nn ex-
toii'Ivo lire. Hill was unwearied In
helping build tents for tho homeless.
and money wont ftcely to reed the
starving hundreds, who wero likely to
Und only a gravo In tho land wjilch had
promised them so much. I folt that I
had nover known half of his genuine
oodness of heart until thoso days; and
I left oir watching him ns I had done.
Wo wcro stopping at ono of tho places
uigniueii ny tno namo oi "Hotel," nml
In thoso "early times" considered mag
iilllcent In tlio way of accommodations,
iillo worth tlio fabulous prices which
wero demanded lor mem. Jlut our
parior was uio bar-room, and our
"room" n hunk, ono of a dozen or bo In
tho samo npaitmcnt. Wo had been
staying there perhaps threo weeks
when ono night I was nwakened from
a sound sleep by tho fall of somo liea.y
iiouy. i listened, but thero was no ro
petition, then I groped my way to
Dili's bunk. Ho was not thero, though
I had seen him "turn lu" when I did.
I took my hat nnd passed out through
tho bar-room Into tho darkness and
night. Drunken men or nil nations
nnd tribes wcro to bo met on tho mud
dy sidewalks, their horrid oaths nnd
obsceno Jests, inulteied or shouted lu
half-broken languago, reminded mo of
n terrlblo description I listened to when
a child, of tho abode or tho lost.
Tho gleaming lights from tho dilnk.
Ing taloons and gambling hells only
added another touch to tho picture
1 hurried on, peering Into every
phtco whero was light or sound, nnd 1
kept up tho search until tho first rosy
tints In tho east told of the coming
day.
When I enmo round to our hotel, I
found I had been tent for threo times,
and was to remain thero until tho mes
senger camo again, I waited two hours,
nml then saw tho bartender pointing
DEM. - VOL.XYXV NO. 28.
mo out lo n Spaniard. Ho beckoned to
me, nnd I followed him without a
word. Wo went through lanes nnd by
paths, until 1 lost nil idea of locality.
Finally wc enmo to n cabin, when ho
motioned mo to como round by thoBldo,
then ho pointed mo to loo't through a
slight npcrlute.
Two men lay on thu lloor, which was
covered with blood.
I saw at n glnnco that ono was mil,
and tho other boro tho samo faco I had
often scon In my dreams.
I thought nt first that they wcro both
dead, but n low groan enmo from Hill,
and I rushed to the door. I knelt down
by him nnd spoke.
" I did not do it," said he, " but 1
meant to."
I asked him no question, only If he
was ablo to bo moved,
" Yes, but never mind."
Wo mndo n litter of a door, ami by
the help or somo men tho Spaniard
brought, wo carried him to our board
ing plt.ee.
1 Bumnioned n physician, who pro
nounced tho wound dangerous but not
necessarily mortnl.
I watched over him and saved him
In splto or his own desire. Ho choso to
die, but by caro ho camo slowly back
and took up his burden ngaln.
Ona day I sat by his bed, I took from
my pocket the llttlo book I had round
buried under tho green boughs. I rend
two or threo chapters aloud, then put
It up without a word. Ho became In
terested, and I rend on from day to day
as ho could bear It, until tho book was
finished.
Then he nsked, " whero did you get
it?"
"I dug It from tho ground,'' said I,
laconically.
Ho held out bis hand for It, anil so it
passed Into bis keeping.
When ho becamo strong enough wo
took walks together, which gradually
Increased In length until wo would
spend wholcfd.iys down by tho bay.
I knew ho would tell mo his story
when he could bring himself to It. Ho
was two weeks going over It, some
times giving mo a slnglo picture, and
nt another tlmo unrolling whole years,
llko a panorama before me.
Jits nrst remembrance nan been n
hovel whero rum had left nothing but
ruin. Ho never heard nklnd word, or
had a kiss left upon his childish race,
but ho hated tho meanness nnd filth
which surrounded him and ran away
to sea when only fourteen years of age.
When ho came back, grown to man
hood, his old homo had been swept
away by tho tldo of improvements, and
his relations wcro all gone, save ono
fair-headed sister, who might havo
boon his idol, but sho vanished out of-
his lifo without a word of rarowcll, and
for years ho never heard or her or tho
man who lured her away.
Tho year that I met him ho had been
through tho West; ho couldn't tell
what for, except that ho had mado mon
ey and wanted to spend it. VIco and
luxury wcro strangers to him, so his
wants wcro rew and simple.
Ho enmo to a cabin, ono night, and
ns it was late, nsked to bo nllowed to
stay; the man consented, nnd bado tho
woman prnvldo somo supper for tho
traveler.
His hoit went out, and his voice could
bo heard nt somo dlstnnco from tho
front of Iho house. Tho woman eyed
him closely from a window, then mo
tioning to 111II, led him to a slido win
dow at the roar of tho cabin, whispered
to him that it was only a mllo to tho
next house, slipped a picco or paper In
to his hand nnd bado him run for his
life.
Ho said ho could not tell how it hap
pencil, but for Iho first and only tlmo
ho ran from danger. Ho aroused tho
people, and was given a place on tho
lloor to sleep.
baying nothing about his adventure
ho managed to read by tho light of tho
coals tho paper which tho woman had
given him. Imagino his surprise when
ho found that ho had seen his long lost
slilcr, and that sho had sought to savo
his life by getting him away from her
husband, who mistrusted that ho had
money, and would not hesltnto to mur
der him In order to obtain It. Shosald
sho had witnessed dreadful things, but
begged mm not to try to meet her, as
his llfo would bo Imperiled.
Tho next morning ho determined to

As I dwelt upon tho wondrous lovo
