HIS LADY COMIWXIOX.
Story of a Cold Hide and a Ro
mantic Ending-.
Iliad just fi.'lislied a hearty Ruppor
and had ordered my horse brought up
t t ho ii. Mr when the landlord of tho
fountry i:ui entered the rMm. riibbino
iiis Inula) in an uwUwnr.l iniinuor. as if
he did not Know just what to say.
Still cimtinuinp; his rubbin.'. a thinp;
hieh always exasperated mo, he ro
piicd to my oxclaui:itiin by saving:
"It is an mlil remct I have t lira.ee,
sir, coiisiderino; the state of the roads,
but"
"Say onwhat is it?"
"There is a lady here tvni";b.t who
is desperately auxious to iret to lireii
Un by to-morrow niorning;."
"Why tloesn't she jfor
"That's the point, sir; she can't. All
my horses are -Ktorm-islaid muiie where
in the country, and vol . can't hire a
team lierealxnits, as 3-011 may know."
"How did the lady pet here, in
Heaven's name?"
"She came just before you did, Bir,
with one horse."
"Driving-, herself?"
"Nn; a younjr fellow drove for her a
silly-looking chap."
"As he brouo-ln her here it seems to
liar he mijj-ht drive her there eh?"
'"Well, s lie luiffllt, sir, but he's
almost killed the horse, and it would
finish it for certain to send it out again
on these roads. It wouldn't be human,
would it?"
I am not naturally disoblifrinp, but
to be asked to take a lady in your
sleigh when the snow is deep and likely
t lie drifted is not pleasant, and a
woui'aa is apt to le a burden in case of
any dioiculty on the way.
Moreover, sJinee Kate McDonald and
I had quarreled over the attentions
paid her by her handsome, rich cousin,
w hich she either could not or would
not explain, 1 never cared for woman's
society.
Where was Kate now, I often won
dered. At her home in Kentucky. K-r-haps,
and married to the rich cousin.
A lot of things may happen in two
years.
The drive I was now takino; was on
special business for my head contrac
tor, who said that certain papers just
received from KiioIaml must reach his
partner, a confirmed invalid living-m-ar
the little town of 1 5 ronton, by a certain
tlay.
"She really seems to I" in jrreat
trouble, sir, laocause she can't pet on,"
said the landlord as 1 paused to con
sider. "Well, tell her to fret ready. I sup
pose I must say yes."
"Ky tiie way, sir, if you have not
laeen over the road lie fore you want
when you pet near the burned land,
ten miles from Jiere. to keep a sharp
lookout to the ri'lit for a road that
turns off there: take that. The straight
road leads to lirenton, but nobody lives
on it."
"All riphL lint tell the lady to hur
ry; the hors4 are comino;."
When I had donned my overcoat, fur
cap and ooqforter 1 caught a plimpse
of myself in tlwe ;'l;iss. and lauphod at
tho thought that my intendinp pas
senger would not Ik; able ta tell wheth
er she had a younp man or an old
one for a companion scarcely, in-d.-.sl,
whether I was a black or a white
man.
ioinjr out to the sleiph I arranped
the rolios to my liking, and was jut
lto'iiiniti"; to pot impatient to po wiien
an animated huiidic of clothes with a
isii.'-rvfestioii of femininity nltout it, came
out. followed by the landlord
The lady took her place in the sleiph;
I spranpin In-side her, the landlord ami
the hostler tucked in therolaos, bade us
pood nipht, and we were tiff under the
sliin'mp stars with much tinklin?; of
lells. the sleipli runners sinpinp over
the frosty snow. It was twenty-four
miles to lirenton and the loneliest rood
in the state.
The poinp was heavy, but not espe
cially so, for the way lay through the
forest and was not tl rifted.
It soon appeared that the road here
was a succession of drifts, not deep,
but solid, and that if any teams had
laeen over it dnrinp the day their tracks
had long since Ik-oh tilled in.
Tho horses could no longer trot, but
jottlo.1 tlnvn fn wnlk. the wind whist
ling through the:r harness and blow ing
their manes an. I tails till they projected
almost horizontally.
How cold it was! The bright disk of
Venn shone with wonderful splendor
r.nd the pitiless wind seemed to come
straight from that star. There seemed
to bo :v merciless) glare in the splendid
planet, and I longed for a cloud to cover
it from aighL
"Are you .cold?" I shouted, for the
wind rendered it useless to spoaT: in an
ordinary tone, muffled as we were and
not facing each other.
She answered that she was, where
upon I told her to get as low down in
the sleipli as possible, which she did,
an.l I pulled the rolaes over her head,
she nestling very close to me.
Somehow this was not altogether
disapt'ccuble, and iu my imagination I
began to picture what my companion
was like.
The wiud-swept stretch of road was
six miles long, and when we had gone
altout a third of the distance the horses
stopped.
I.o'.;hig ahead I found that the drift
had deepened and that they were stand
ing iu it up to their bodice I urged
them a little, but soon i.aw that it was
of no use. They only plunged in a man
ner to eiitiauger themselves and the
sleigh.
There was but one thing to do to
pet out and break a road. Telling mv
companion to crouch low in the sleigh.
1 covered her well with the robes and
going in front of tlu? horses began to
tramp down the snow.
I wor.iud with all my speed, yet it was
more than an hour, I judge, before I
had a track made for them.
When I returned to the sleigh I was
thoroughly healed anr as wet from
perspiration as if I had plunged into
water.
I knew I was running a fearful risk
in sitting down in that fearful wind,
but there seemed to be no alterna
tive: so. protecting myself as well as
possible from the blast, which seemed
to grow iu strength, I urged the horsass
along.
As they proceeded slowly my compan
ion threw the covering from her head
and said:
"You must have pot heated, working
as hard as you did, and you will take
cold unless you do something at once.
If yon sit there till the cold strikes you.
3-011 will tlie."
"I tio not think there is an3 danger,"
I said.
"Hut I know there is," answered she.
Then throwing down the robes she
stood tip in the sleigh and added:
"laive tue the reins. tSet down there
out of the wind and cover 3-011 rself up."
At this momeut a shudder passed
over me and I realized what truth
there might be iu her words. She
divined the reason for my silence and
said:
"You know I am right- Oh, why
will 3-ou not do as I ask?"
Hut you-"
"Never mind me. I will be all right.
Itesi.les, it will only be for a little
while."
A second shudder, worse than the
first, roused me thorouphlv to mv dan
ger, ami protesting that it was only
for a minute or two that 1 would avail
myself of the shelter of tho sleigh Ikix,
I crotichcd down and allowed her to
cover me up.
1 was soon shakinp like one in an
ague lit, hot antl cold by turns. How
slow we seemed to be going! Two or
three times I tried to rise and take the
reins, but was rpiite unable, and my
companion assured me each time that
she was not cold, and was doing fa
mously the excitement kept her warm,
she said.
I did not believe her then, and I
know now that what she said was not
true that she suffered terribly. lint
I did not know, uulil they told me two
weeks afterward at the hotel in liren
ton that she took olf her own wraps
to make my covering heavier, for I was
insensible when they lifted me out
of the sleigh.
W hen, three weeks later, weak from
fever, I employed my first conscious
moments in asking after my compan
ion, the nurse told me that she had
driven the horses into Itrenton at a
gallop.
Not knowing about the roads she
had naturally enough followed the
straight one. antl for fourteen miles had
driven through the forest, with me ly
ing unconscious at her feet.
They carried me in and put me to
bed. while the lad- fell lie fore the fire
in a faint, caused by weariness and the
reaction of her nervous power.
Strange to say, she was really not
very much the worse for her terrible
cxerience. but I bail waked up in a
fever, and for three weeks had been de
lirious. "Where is the lady now?" I asked,
but adtled: "Of course she is gone. I
should like to have seen her."
The nurse, stepped aside without re
ply nig. I looked up for an explana
tion, when my eyes rested on the face
of Kate McDonald
'Katie!" was all I could say.
"Aleck!" she replied, and took my
outstretched hand in hers.
"Kati" I said, after a moment of
happiness too deep for words, "is it
possible that you were my companion
and m- savior!"
"I tlo not know altout my being the
last, but I certainly was the first,"
"And I did not know it."
"Jlut I did," she saiil with her merry
laugh." "Antl what is more, I knew
3'ou after 3-011 first spoke to me."
I looked at her hands. There was no
ring on the slim white fingers.
"Katie," I saiil, "the3" tell me you
saved ni3' life; but you had better have
let me lose it unless you will promise
ta share it with me."
She ditl not speak, but the look in her
e3es was enough. Yaverle3' Magazine.

The black bear antl the grizzly must
be cliscly alike in their manner of
feeding, according to the descriptions
given by Mr. Roosevelt in bis Imm ik,
"The Wilderness Hunter." lie once
watched a black Itcar for half an hour.
At first, he says, the fellow was "shuf
fling along and rooting in the ground,
so that he looked like a great pig.
Then he began to turn over lops and
stones to hunt for insects, small rep
tiles and the like. A moderate sized
stone he would turn over with a sinple
clap of his paw and then plunge his
nose into the hollow to gobble up the
small creatures laeneath.
"liig logs antl rocks he would tug antl
worry at with both paws. Once, over
exerting his clumsy strength, he lost
his prip and rolled clean on hi back.
I'lider- some of the lops he evidently
found mice and chipmunks; then, as
soon as the bag was overturned, be
would lae seen jumping about with
grotesque agilit3' antl making quick
dabs here and there, as the scurrying
little rmlent turned and twisted, until
at last he put his paw on it and
scooped it into his mouth.
"Somet imes probably when he smelt
the mice underneath he would cau
tiously turn the log over with one paw,
holding the other lifted and reatl3" to
strike."
The grizzly, too, Mr. Roosevelt says
is at mtst times "a grubln-r in the
ground, an eater of insects, roots, nuts
and iH-rries. Its dangerous fore claws
are nominally used to overturn stones
antl knock rotten logs to pieces, that it
may lap up the small tribes of dark
ness which swarm under the one and
in the other.
"It digs up the camas roots, wild
onions and an occasional luckless
wtamlchuck or gopher. When food Is
plentiful Wars are lazy, but commonly
they are obliged tole vT3- industrious,
since it is no light task to gather
enough ants, beetles, crickets, tumble
bugs, rtxits ami nuts to satisfy the
cravings of so huge a bulk.
"The true time of plenty for bears is
the berry season. Then they feast
ravenously on hucklelierries. blueber
ries, kinnikinic berries, buffalo Wr
ries, wild plums, clderlorries and
scores of other fruits. They often
smash all the bushes in a berry patch,
gathering the fruit with half-luxurious,
half-lataorious greed, sitting on
their haunches and sweeping the ber
ries into their mouths with dexterous
paws.
"So absorbed do the3 liecome in their
feasts that they grow reckless and feed
in broad dat light. while in some of the
thickets, especially those of the moun
tain haws, they make so much noise
in smashing the branches that it is a
comparatively easy matter to approach
them unheard.

How Miss Thankful Ilopo Figxirod
In a Rornanco.
It seemed to be one of the ironies of
fate that her name should have been
Miss Thankful Iloe. Strangers
siniled instinctively at the name when
they first met her. For to them there
was so little iu her narrow life to 1m
thankful for, and nothing to ho(c for.
And yet to those of the limited number
whtj grew to know- Miss Thankful, the
name was after all quite appropriate.
At numWr 4U4 Summerset avenue,
the second-rate lioarding-house, where
she lived in room 14, second llmar back.
Miss Thankful was accepted 3-ear after
year as one of the laelongings of the
place; much as the hot water bags, for
extra cold nights, ami the dessert
every Wednesday and Sunday were ac
cepted. Settled facts of the house of
so long standing that they were never
questioned.
She was a faded looking little woman
of forty-five, whose plain face was only
redeemed l3 a pair of smiling brown
e3'es. She was a day seamstress, and
made enough to pay her ixiard, and
usually to keep herself Buitaliiy clothetL
It was a standing joke among the
other boarders that no matter how
disagreeable the day. Miss Thankful
could always find something pleasant
to be saitl about it- And no matter
how unprepossessing the last new
laoarder. Miss Thankful's kind heart
was sure to discover some excuse.
Other boarders came and went
"transients," Mrs. Simmons called
them but Miss Thankful stayed on.
For thirteen 3"ears she had been an
inmate of the house, until now she felt
that no place would be home to her
but the tin3 twelve by twelve rot 11:1,
where she had spent her evenings antl
her Sunday afternoons for so many
years.
She had watched Florence, Mrs. Sim
mon's joung daughter, grow tip into
womanhood; anil had shared her timid
confidences and opinions atiit the dif
ferent 3-oung men of the house. Confi
dences which Florence would never
have thought of tolling her practical
mother. 1 here was something al-out
Miss Thankful which invited confi
dence, and the two were warm friends.
It was a dull February evening: a
slight snow was falling, and Miss
Thankful hurried along toward home
in the early dusk. The windows wo;
lighted up. and presented a tempting
arra3 of milliner, dry goods, flowers
and confectionery.
Hut Miss Thankful did not notice
any of them until she turned into IIoinl
street, ami there she walked slower,
coining to a standstill at last in front
of Cooper & Cooper's large dry-got mIs
house.
She smiled as she looked in at the
window. "Yes, she said, softly, "it's
there yet; I made sure it would lae
sold. So cheap, too; only a do.lar and
a half." She was gazing at a blue satin
partt- bag, lined with tlulicate pink.
One of those daint3 French alluirs
which alwa3"s caltrti a woman's e-e,
if she has any soul for pleasing effects,
"I can't afford a new dress this year.
That three weeks I was sick last
month put that out of the question,
and so it does seem as if I could buy
that bag if 1 want to. On! 3 it would
be silly downright silby!" and she
sighed.
"I never had anything as pretty as
that. Maybe that's why I seem to have
so set my heart on it- Even my
dresses have ulwa-s been brown or
black; they last belter."
"I've had a kind of a brown and
black life, anyway, l'ut there now,
that sounds complainin'. and I've no
cause to eomplaiia. The Ixrd's ln-cn
good to me aud prospered me right
along."
"(Itaod evening, Miss Thankful." said
a cheerful voice at her side- "Right
nice window. Our trimmer laeats any
in town. Lots of prett things, too,'
he added, with the pardonable pride ol
a head clerk.
"liood evening. Mr. Jono," answered
Miss '1 hankful. "Yes, I was just It Hik
ing in at all the gmads. 1" she hesi
tated "was just noticing that blue
tat in bag, over there in the corner
see?"
"Oh. yes, that party bag; pretty
thing, an.l cheap. tm. I know a gotad
piece of satin when I see it. Funny it
was not sold to-day -will be to-morrow,
likely."
Miss Thankful felt her desire to pos
sess the bag increasing.
"On your way home? Let me take
your umbrella," and the3' walked on
together.
Mis Thankful had a decided liking
for this tine of the boarders. Partl3 l-e-cause
he never forgot to show Iier the
same courtesy that lie would show to
Florence or any younger woman. And
this is very gratifying to a woman who
has no claim to youth or lieuuty.
lie was a timid young man. with a
colorless mustache and drab hair, who
talked with a jerk, but Miss Thankful
always liked him.
When they reached the laiardinp
house, she went ver3 thoughtfully up
to her room. Mr. Jones had discoursed
most of the way upon the amiable
qualities Florence possessed, all of
w hieh remarks she had heartily sec
onded. When she had lighted the gas
she sat down with the thoughtful ex
pression still on her face.
"I wonder," she said. "I do just won
der. Hut he would never under the
shining sun have the courage to tell
her," and she smiled.
"Mr. Jones; a name I do abominate!
antl Florence so prett3 and him with
those colorless C3es, and that washed
out hair! liut then, he is just as kind
as he can be, and I make no doubt would
be a good provider."
The next night when Miss Thankful
came into her room, she turned on both
the gas jets an unheard-of extrava
gance; she carried a small parcel done
up in tissue paper, and Is.-fore she
stopped to take off her bonnet, she
went over to the bed and unliod tho
package. It was the blue satin party
bag.
"It's a lot prettier than it was at the
store." she said, smiling at it where it
lay spread out on the white cover, ia
all the arrogance of assured beauty.
"Those pink rosettes are lovely; I'm
silly as I can be, I know that well
enough! That's why I asked Mr. Jones
not to speak of in 3- getting it. Maybe
next summer I can have a lawn with a
little blue sprig in it- This would po
beautifully with that. I don't think
I'm Um old for a lawn on a hot day; and
I'm just glad 1 got it so there!" Then
she wrapped up the bag antl put it away
in her trunk.
After supper Florence catre up to
visit her. and Miss Thankful was
tempted to tell her all altiut it. Put
she was full of her own plans, and the
bag was not nicnt-.oned.
"There is to lae n party bvmorrow
evetiing at Mary Moor s. It's the 14th.
3-011 know," said Florence, hanj ,ily. I
am going, and wear my blue cloth
dress; I've worn it a lot. Miss Thank
ful, but mother says I may l-.ave a new
sash that u ill freshen it up. Put. oh!
I wish, I do wish I could have a party
bag that I saw down in Cooper's win
dow. It was light blue, and lined wiih
pink such a ln-ai-! I vvisi, yu ir,,
seen it. I can't have anything but tin
sash, thijugli, and so there is no use in
wishing. "
"I did see it," said Miss Thankful,
"an I it was pretty. I sorter wished
for it myst If."
Florence laughed. "Oh, of course,
you would not want it. but if yon had
seen it twenty years ago you might
have," she said, with the seivue
thoughtlessness of youth.
Miss 'J ii::iikfu! grew silent.
"Mr. Jones has aked me to go to
evening service twice lately." she went
on presently.
"I think he is almtit the lacst-look.ng
young man here, don't yon. Miss
Thankful? lie never talks much, but
I snpjaox- li,. thinks a great deal. 1
used to think he disliked me. he stam
mered so whenever I sjaol;o t.i him; but
I guess it was just because he didn't
feel acquainted" And then follow oil a
recital of Mr. Jones' savin.'s.
After siie had gone Miss Thankful
sat for a long, long time in front of the
prate, with sad. dreamy eyes fixed on
the lire. She was going over iu her
mind a time? twenty-live years before.
"lie was nothing like Mr. Jones,"
she said
"He was potsl looking, and so tal!:
but he was just as timid, and I acted u
careless and as indifferent as I know-how-.
(Jirls arc foolish creatures. lie
never put up courage to tell inc. And
then we moved away, and that was all
No other man ever looked at me. and I
can't say as I wanted thorn to."
She undressed slowly. She felt old.
This Imtkinp back at one's youth has a
tendency to make one feel old. if it lies
twenty-live years iM-hind one.
When she -.nib u'.l ready for Ik1 she
ojaciied the trunk and took out the par
ty bag.
She opened the door and listened.
Everything was still in the dim hull.
Florence's room was only a few doors
awav. Miss Thankful slipped noise
lessly alonu'. and when she reached the
ihwir she hung the ril Im.h over the
kno!.. and as softly stole l..t k.
She had put no card 111 tlie bap
there was 110 need Florence Would
know- who sen, it. And then she went
to ld and to sleep
The next morning Florence knH-kod
at the tl.Mir, almost before Miss Thank
ful was dressed, and came iu with a
Hustled. h::pp- face.
"O Miss Thankful!" she cried. "I
have had the loveliest gift; w hat tio you
think, that blue satin party ba!"
"Of course Mr. Jones sent it. I asked
him last night if it w u., sold ct and he
grew just as red and st:i tumorcd so;
I kuow why now. Mother says 1 may
keep it and I wrote him a letter of
t hanks this morning and put it under
Lis plate. That was the easiest way of
thanking him. He i., having an earl;
breakfast now, so I thought- 1 w..uM
ava.t and go down itli you this time."
Aud she fluttered about the room in
'.lappy excitemcbt-
Meanwhile Mr. Jones was in a very
uncertain and puzzled state of bliss.
The note had thanked him for his
beautiful gift, but neglected to tell
w hat the gift was.
He left the house without lK-ing able
to get a plimpse t.f Florence.
At noon there was another tinv
white missive under hit, tl.nar. Dut this,
much to his tlisapiM.iiitment, proved to
be from Miss Thankful.
