When tlio xitsh for the KnnwiB. farm lug lands was nt its height, niul eastern fnrmors, tired ot tho red soil nt home, cro Belling out nt n sacrifice in order to join tho pilgrirnago to a land rumored to lx) lltei'ully flowing with milk atid'honoy whoro broad' mid productive acres1 could bo had for tho asking Andrew Wright, an honest, practical young Granger who had spent nil his life in the Mohawk valley, was taken with tho cstcrn fever. He was not wealthy in tho goods of tho world, hut ho had n ifo and iJ-ycarold boy that heled to more than uiauo up for tlio lacs or financial resources. By shrewd bargaining he found after ho had sold everything ho owned that ho had enough crisp hank bills in his hands to go to the west and make a start on thq new place. Ills objectivo point was Kan sas, but when almost there howas in duced by n land ngent to go over into Nobraska and tako a quarter section ithin three miles of that muddy and emitio stream dignified by tho name of Prutto nver, Once settled, and with a tlireo room 60(1 house built on his claim, lie started in to work with a will, and at the expira tion of two years ho found himself well on tho road to tlio complete ownership of as flno n farm west of tho red Missouri art "lay outdoors." Hia ono great trouble was tho scarcity of farm hands in tho busy season! so it was not at all surprising when one day a tramp who applied for work was taken in as almost ono of tho family and looked uponjis a ventatilo goasenu ty tlio over worked young emigrant. Tony WjlhniliB, as thcr newcomer called himself, was a hard looking, un couth sort of individual, who worked with a will during tho day ftntl at night romped with llttlo 4-year-oldJJooy until tho lad used to watch .for Jtis coming, and find tho most pleasant hour out of tho twenty-four when Tony was with him. It was rather n queer sort of friend ship, but it lasted all through the win ter, and until ono spring night, when tho old restless spirit camo back upon him and the farm hand packed up hla little bundlo and quietly stole away in tho darkness. A year spent In tho mining districts did not increaso "Tony's" financial con dition nor his appearance, either, for that ....i.-Tki...i. :i- .,,, .1 ii. e ,'...-- just fcO much nearer to tho complcto own ership of his quarter section, and at the oxpiration of that timo tho tramp turned his faco to tho rising sun, and by dint of undry "lifts and stolen rides on freight trains, found himself ono fitful night treading tho land he had plowed some months before. It hardly seemed like the samo placo to him, for instead of tho sod houso thero stood a ono story frame building, and less than a hundred yards away was u big roomy barn. "1 11 jest crawl into titer barn," 60I1I0 quized Tony, "so's not lo wako-ther. folks. I wonder how tho uttlo chnp Is nnd if ho will bo glad to boo mo. They'ro pretty whlto sort of people, and I guess 1 11 stick by 'em this timo and titko ther old roan s advico an make a man outer myself." Thus satisfying his conscienco at hav lug run away, ho crept into tho barn, nnd half burying himself in a pile of ttrav.' which had been left near tho open door, was soon asleep. It was hours later when a lurid red glow, which lighted up tho sky and heated tho air for miles around, caused Tony to shift uneasily on his rough but comfortable bed and to ' finally open his eyes and an instant later jump to his foef Willi a bound. Tho prairie was on fire! Away off, 011 what seemed like the lower edge of thehorizbn, was a sheet of llaino which had formed itself into a bar rier through which nono might pas3 and live. Forked tongues of fire, leaping tai tho mass, licked at tho mr as if lo find more food for their greedy appetite. Tlu tall, dry grass swayed and shivered tw if each particular stalk was endowed wnH life and was making an effort to sraiio a certain fato. As tho tramp looked, particles of burned herbago floating down tho wind fell about hiln nnd ho heard .distinctly tho crackling of tho consuming clement as It ate its way through tho matted growth. Tho grandeur of tho sight btupclled him, ttnd ho was lost in contemplation of tho awful spectacle. Tho uneasy lowing of tho cattle, and tho fretful whinnying of tho horses aroused in him a sense of fin danger, and ho instinctively turned oml looked towards tho house. 1 There was no sign of life. It was time for action now, nnd ho had already lost many valuable minutes. He ran to tho houso and beat with both hands on tho door. "Mr. Wright, tho prairie's 011 firo the prnlrioa on fire! Thero was no answer. Timo was pro- clous now, and when Tony saw a spado standing up against tho side of the house it beemcd to him liUo a provi- denco, ana he toon aa vantage of it. The door went In with a crash and as he jumped through tho oponing ho met Wright coming out of tho bed room. Tho room was brilliantly lighted by tlio reiloctioiu but not a word of recog nition was hpokou. "Get tho horses," said, Wright, in a low tone, and when tho tramp wont through tho door Wright turned back to the loom. "Our only Uopo is the river," ho said to his wife, who with a white, drawn face, was hurriedly dressing Joey, but her iwor, trembling, nervous lingers made little headway with tho task. When Tony oamo with tho two horses. Wright and his wlfo took ono whila the tramp held Joey in place on tho other, There were threo miles to rido to the river and safety, and all but the boy looked witlt unxloua eyes at the lino of thundt-uug flame, wldlo tho fartnor Mghcd as he thought of tho destruction that fringe of ragged firo would do his pktw;. But tliero was 110 timo for seutirucnt, 1. -ww uihv started, loavjiur oil but Live and Let Live.' 3?enna. August 31, 1889. hopo behind. For two miles tho horses kojrt almost side by side, nnd then It begin to look as if tho raco was not going to bo on easy 0110 for tho heavv', well fed animals. Steadily tho firo had gaijied until nowujs they woro almost in Sight of the rivcrTfiswt . p of ,lio wind seoAed to hurl tho Homes at them and ineir tnroats iiecamo bo parched they could hardly breathe. Tony's horse, healing the Ik-.htor burden, sped ahead, butjtho ntnig'li!S of tho other animal wore becoming so labored that ho sladjced. Wri.Jit beat with, his fists nt tholtircd bean, who, faitlifiiLeiiotigh under his dou! le burden, triediiard to rcsiwnd by an increaso of speed, but it wnigno use, for with tho effort ho wont down on his knees, throwing tho two henjily to the giiimvi As tho woman shrinked in her down ward flight the tw.np heard, and turn ingin his unccrttiiii scat ho. looked in tlnta to seo two motionless forms, tho stnrggling horso, and then, liko a thing "'Jliu betiding to grasp Its prey, the wavb of jluath swept over them. Everything scented a blur to tho tramp after that, for when ho- opened his eyes nii'hour later ho wau lying on tho oppo sitojiido of the creek, with Joey near by, watching with wonderitur oves tho claro of tho embers on tho blackened waste. Ho "fl&nombered nothing but the going dowirjto death of tho farmer and his wlffj,mnd realized tho fact that he had a now liurtlon to bear, in tho caroof tho orpha,!! boy. Vi hen strenctlt camo back to him ho pickd Joey up in his arms with a feel ing of tenderness ho had nover known before and lundo for tho ranch of tho nearest neighbor, some mL'es awnv. where he told tho story and found will ing 1 anda to help In the sad ceremony of consigning tho chaired remains to a decent grave. As for himself, Tony was for going Over into the Colorado diggings, leaving tlio ooy with tlio now friends, but Joey refused to bo separated from his pro tector, 60 with a littlo purso donated by tho 'jig hoartcd farmer nnd with a re solvato dovoto himself to his charge, tho tramp took the orphan up into tho mines and prpspected with tho hundreds of others for nature's wealth. Tiio erection of a now cabin announced- tho fact that ho had como to stay, and during tho months which followed tho boy grew strong and hearty under his foster father's caro and bocamo tho Hfo of tho camp. As a miner, poor, inex perienced Tony was an indifferent suc cess, although ho managed to keep a sack of flour and n rasher of bacon in tho provision box, and occasionally made a barter witli a wandering Jow for llttlo delicaciosvfor Joey. But even this poor luck was not des tined to last, and when ono night tho boy cried becauso ho was hungry, n,nd the tramp knew thero was. nothing in tlio littlo placo to eiit, ho beeamo desper ato and walked out in tho cool night air of tho mountains to think what .was to bo done. Thero had been ' days in I1I3 life when ho. had littlo respect for ,tho eighth com mandment,. nnd it was very natural then, at this critical period, that his' uneducat ed mind bhould urge him to lake from others to supply himself and the boy. Ho tried to reason that it was right enough under tho circumstances, but his logic was not powerful enough, uud he put an end to tho wholo matter by say ing to himself as n sort of mental apol ogy: Ef it wasn t for Joey it 'ud bo differ ent, but Iio'b got to bo looked after some how. After that tho provision box in Tony's cabin wus always full to overflowing,- and tho tramp grow so extravagant u9 to send to a far away city for a how suit for the boy, who, dollghtcJ at tho new prosperity, was happier than ever and forgot entirely tho pangs of hunger which had racked his littlo frame. Ono morning, however, tlio boy, who was well on to 0 years old, woko and found himself alone. Ho lny n ioug while wait ing for Tony and then dressed himself and went out. It was but uatural when ho saw a crowd around tho Ited Light saloon that ho should make for that point, and ho did, calling all tho whllo with his shrill llttlo voice for "Uncle Tony. Ono of tho men picked tlio boy up and carried him back to tho cabin, while tho rest were gathered about the prostrate figure of a man which lay partly propped up by u folded blanket in front of the saloon. Tho man 011 the ground was saying in a weak, thin voice: "I alius tried to do ther squar thing, pards, although I hov mado bomo slips In my. life. I don't mind going hungry myself, for that'B nothing new, but I couldn't seo tho kid want, and I had to do somethin'." After a brief pauso ho continued, al though in a fainter voico: "I don t blnruo Jim for pullin 011 me, cuz 1 admit I was in his placo to do him, but ho dono mo. I know I'm going fast now, but, pards, look after ther kid, Ho aint got nobody now, and I dono thcr best 1" Tho rest was Indistinct, nnd when tho convulsive twitch which had stopped tho sentence ended, Tony was dead. Ho had been as faithful to his trust as ho knew how, but his lifo had been tho prico of his sin. It was a long timo before Joey Iiecamo reconciled to havo any 0110 else tako Tony's place, but the griefs of childhood ai o not lasting, and it wus not until later years uiatjuio boy tullv realized the sad ness of his early lifo, Fred A.

CAPT. DUCK. Capt. Duok was a Modoo Indian, with tho shortest posslblo legs. Ills legs were so short that when ho walked he wad dled along llko a very fat duck. And that is why ho was called Capt, Duck nt tho stngo station, which was nt tho foot of tho great whlto mountain in tho heart of tho Modoo country, Mount Shasta. Somo said his legs had been shot off in a battlo. And then somo said his legs had been eaten off by n bear. But I do not very well seo how that could bo, for his feet woro thuyc, all right. And very big feet thoy were, too; wido nnd big nnd lint liko ducks' feet. So I think ho must havo been born that way. Poor Capt. Duck could not hunt very well, or go on tho war path with tho othor Indians, and so ho camo to the stago station to biro out with tho few rough men who kept tho old log fort and took caro of tho stngo horses thero. Theso men did not liko tho old Indian, but ns they wcro a lazy set, thoy wero glad to havo him at tho fort to rub down and water tho stago horses when the sun was hot or there was frost in tho nir. But they made all sorts of sport of the poor Indian. And, Indeed, thoy laughed at him so much, nnd mado so much fun of his short legs nnd big feet, that ho often wished ho was dead. For ho was very sad and sensitive. Ono day, Big Dan tho stago driver left at tho station a littlo boy whoso father and mother had died; for tho boy had no money to pay faro further. Tho rough, lazy men thero put him to work with tho Indian, and they named him "Linier Tim," because ho wns so slim nnd lim ber. And then thoy did not know his name. But I suppose- that would havo mado no difference, anyway; for, in tho moimtains of California, thoy name folks just what thoy pleaso. And if a boy looks as if his namb ought to bo "Limber Tim" or "Timber Slim," or anything of that sort, why that must bo his namo and ho can't help it. Tho littlo orphan boy was scut out every day with-tho short legged Indian, up on tho siuo or tlio mountain, to herd tho stago horses and "keep guard over them, no had a bolt, and a pistol in it, and a bowlo knife in itj and nUo a gun to carry on his Bhoulder. Pretty soon ho camo to liko this very much and began to grow ljko a weed and get fat. Ho and tho Indian wero tho best friends in tho world. But tho men of tho station, somohow, wero hard er and harsher than over. But Capt. Duck and tho boy did not inlnd it so very much now, for each had a friend a friend in tho other. They would bucklo on their pistols as soon as it was daylight and the' had had a littlo breakfast of crackers and broiled bear meat or venison, and, each mount ing a horso and driving tho others, thoy would go up on tho mountain sido and there, by a littlo grovo of thick wood, they would stop and let them grazo nil day. Sometimes Limber Tim would go to sleep on a warm, flat rock, whllo ho was supposed to stand guard and look away to tho right and to tho left for In dians on tho war path. But Capt. Duck would nover betray him. Every timo that Big Dan, tho stago driver, camo by ho would mako all sorts of fun of Capt. Duck, as ho hobbled about and hitched up tho four stago horses, whllo tho driver sat high up in the box and snapped his long whip. TI10 Indian iliil not like Big Dan, mid Big Dan did not liko tho Indian. Dan said tho Indian was u spy, and told tho men at tho stago station that somo night Capt. Duck would sot firo to tho place and run away by tho light of tho blaze.- Ono hot day, as ho sat 011 tho box with tho four lilies infills hand ready to start off at n gallop down tho great mountain, ho told tho Indian, with an oath, lo "waddlo in on his duck legs" and get him a drink. fho Indian did not move. Then Dan struck him with his whip. Tho men standing around roared with laughter. Still tho sad faced cripple did not move. Then Dan struck him another cut across tho face. Tho Indian's brow grow dark and ter riblo, but ho did not stir. Somo ono clso brought tho drink, and then, tho driver snapping hist whip, tho stago dashed away down tho mountain and left tho Indian standing thero, with tho boy ten derly wiping his friend's bleeding faco and speaking kind and pitiftil words to him. Tho two friends went up on the mountain sido by tho llttlo pino grove, and watched tho horses as before, and tho Indian never spoko at all of what had happened. A month or two went by and every body forgot about tho trouble between Big Dan and tho Bad faced savage. . Ev erybody, did I say? One day tho stago camo thundering iti with Big Dan, tho driver, leaning for ward helpless on tho box. Thero had been a shot fired from tho thick wood back upon the mountain sido. Tho man was dying, nnd tho four reins wero slip ping through his helpless lianas. Who could havo fired thatshot? When tho stage driver was dead and buried eomo of tho men took Limber Tim aside and asked him whether ho had been all tho timo with Capt. Duck tho day tlio shot was fired. "All tho time, overy minute, every second," answered the lad, earnestly. For ho had no suspicion at all that Capt. Duck had shot tho stage driver. Indeed, tho boy believed what ho said, and would liavo maintained it at uny hazard. He forgot that ho had fallen asleep on the warm flat rock that cool autumn day. Tlio next 6ummer signal fires wero seen one night on tho mountain tops. Tho men at the stago station hastened to fasten tho old log fort. Por tills, they know, meant war.

Single Copies 5 Cents Utit witen thoy came to look for Capt. Duck next morning ho was gone Ho had joined tho Indians. Then tho men nt tho stago station wcro very much afraid, for thoy had been very cruel, not only to tho cripple, but to all tho Indians, and they know that If thoy fell Into their enemies' hands thoy had no right to expect any mercy at all. Iho next night tho Itidinns set tho woods on fire, and all tho land was dark with smoke. The great plno trees were falling across the road, and no soldiers nor nnyliody could como to help tho men shut up in tho littlo log fort, nnd sur rounded by tho blazing forests. Tho men looked ono another In tho faco as tho air grew dark and denso from the smoke, and shook their heads sadly for thoy believed their timo to die had come. About 10 o'clock .ono luorulng tho In dians iipiK-ared behind the stables and began to ilro on tho fort. ' Tlujy took tho horses out, mounted them nnti then set Ilro to tho stables. And now tliero wns littlo hopo, for tho flames would spread to tho fort, and then all must porUk Tho smoko wns so dark and thick that tho men wcro almost choked. They could not seo to shoot the Indiana, for it was llko night. "What can wo do?" cried tho men Bliut up in the rort, and hiding their eyes from tho smoko. "Tho Indians will not como near enough for us to see them and light. If wo go out to find them wo shall ho shot down from behind tho rocks nnd trees, and not one of us will Hvo to tell tho talo." "Let mo go out!" said littib Limber Tim. "If I can find Capt, Duck, I will save you all." Ihoy hurried tho boy through tho great wooden gate of tho fort, as ho tied a whito towel on a ramrod and held it high over his head in the thick smoke. Then tho men liolted tho great gato and left tho bravo littlo fellow to do his best with his whito flag. By and by tho boy with tlio whito flag on tho ramrod camo pounding at the gate, and tho men gathered around wUd and eager as thoy opened it. "What luck? What hope?" "Well, If you will all leavo your guns and go out ono at a timo down tho stago road and nover como back hero any more, you can go." "Nover como back hero any more?" cried ono man as he jumped toward the gato; "catch mo comin' back hero any more, if I over get out of this!" nnd he leaped -out through that gato llko a newly sheared sheep leaping over the bars. Thcnnnother followed nnd another, all feeling very much usliamed of tho way they had treated tho boy. But somehow they did not havo tho manhood to hold up their heads and say so. When tho men had gone, glad to go and never thinking of looking back or over returning to tho Modoo country, Capt. Duck camo hobbling in. The In dians helped Tim to put out tho ilro and then went away, taking all tho stage horses uud guns and blankets with them. So, when tho soldiers camo, threo days after, thoyfound only thesotwo in chafgoof the'fort little Lunlier Tim and Capt, Duck.

His face is deeply wrinkled now, and his long black hair has turned as white as are tho shining snows of mighty Mount Sl'iasta when seen against tho cold, blue tky above. Ho never speaks to any ono.
