He was yet half a. mile away when h<* fell down exhaust ed, and half a dozen miners hurried down to succor him. lie struggled up before they reached him, and, waving them back, he shouted: "lion't come near me. for I've got smallpox, but for Ood's sake bring me some provisions! Me and my gal hev not had a bite to eat fur these two days'" Smallpox was the dread of the camps. Wncn a miner was taken down with the loathsome disi-ase, he was a good as dead. The miners stop ped dead in their tracks ai they heard the pioneer's words, and after a brief consultation he was warned to remain where he was while they returned and gathered up a liberal lot of provisions. These were placed on the trail, and when lie bad picked them up they threatened him with their pistols to hurry him'away. The man neither re turned thanks nor berated them fur their seeming harshness. They saw him reach his wagon, they saw him feebly climb up beside n child on the seat, and when the vehicle slowly roll ed on they heaved sighs of relief. That night Joe of Washoe arrived at Black Hill. It wgs dark, with a cold rain fall ing, when he heard of the incident of the day. His face went stern and his eyes grew hard as the story was told, and when It was finished he rose up and asked: "Did the man say thar was a gal with him "Yes." "And you saw her In the v.-agon?" "Yes." "And you drlv 'em off to die when you could hev 'lowed 'em to camp at the foot of the hill! If that's the kind o' men you ar' at Black Ilill. I want to git out quick." "But it is smallpox," persisted one of the men. "More's the pity. Think o' that sick man drivin away with that leetle gal alongside o' him—drivin away to his death! There may hev bin a wife and mother—other children. Mebbe they was dead In the wagon. Men, you did a cruel, wicked tiling!" "But think of the i) 0 men the small pox took out o' the camp at Bed Rock last fall!" "But I ain't thlnkln <>' that I'm tlilnkin o' a man drivin off to die, with a leetle gul slttln up alongside <>' him!" He packed up some provisions, rolled up ids blankets,* and, picking up n wa ter Jug and ills rifle, he said: "I'm golfi to overhaul 'em and stand by 'em unless I find lioth dead!" A score of protests were hurled at him, but the man stepped forth Into the black night without a word In re ply and almost instantly disappeared from sight. At noon next day the wag on reappeared. Joe of Washoe was driving, nnd on the scat beside him was a child. When the wagon halted, he unharnessed and turned loose the horses, made a lire, and then, climbing half way up the hill, he called to the men 20 rods above him: "When I found the wagon last night, the man was dead and the leetle gal was prayln to Ood. Thar was a moth er and two more children, but they ar' dead. lion't come a nigh us. The leetle gal's touched, and I'm sure to coroe down I" That night the fever came to the child, and men who crept down the trail heard her crying out and heard Joe talking and singing to her. The next day he reported her as dreadfully sick, and so It went on for days and days. It was time for him to develop the disease, and each morning as the men crept down the trail to leave pro visions on the flat rock they feared he would not show up. But, strangely enough, the danger passed him by. One morning, when he stood up on the wagon with the girl In his arms, it was taken as a sign that the crisis had passed, and '■'•>»> men gathered on the hill above and cheered the pair. It was a week after that when he set (Ire to the wagon, called for fresh clothes mid came up the trail Into camp with the girl wrappvd in a blanket. No body was permitted even to see the tip of her nose until she had been dressed up as a boy from old garments cut over. Then she was placed on the head of a barrel in the center of camp, and half the men cheered and the other half wept. She was a girl of about 7, pale and wan from her sickness, but there was never a pit or a scar to show how she had suffered. Ity that we knew that Joe of Washoe had watched over her with more than a father's care. She was fatherless and mother lew among strangers. Krlght and 111 tiess had HO benumbed her brain that she could remember nothing, not even the family nainc. She mid that they had traveled for days and days, but from whence she could not tell. The one thing that she did remember was thai her name was Rose, and she had Insisted from the Unit Joe was her uncle. |f wax queer to see this pro. pector find miner, ibis man who had fought I M and renegades and kmc Iced iilioui through a hundred ad ventures and was not supposed to have a eoft spot about li 1111 I say It was queer to see liotv he was knocked out when the little girl kissed him and called 111>11 her dear llliele Joe. He looked MI sheepish and shamefaced that we bad to turn onr fares away, and I tell you In the same breath that we also felt ashamed of ourselves I lint we had left tluit father an I child to drive away from our camp as we did. In the mining camps a rase of small pox meant Isolation, neglect and death. The partner with whom you Imd work ed and hungered and MIIITI 'or years would lice from you In at the flr>,t sign, and If a patient gol up and walked about In ids delirium 110 band was outstretched to prevent him from stumbling over a clllf. In our shame we gave Joe all the re sped nnd admiration lie could ib-muml, (iml It did us good to see the little one take to >lllll ri III I realize that sis- owed her young life to his heroic sacrifice and fatherly care. As we crowded around the pair llic child kuult down on the barrel unil clasped her hands nnd prayed: "Mother is dead, and father is dead, but Ood bless Uncle Joe and everybody else!" A good many of us turned our heads away at that, and, to our surprise, we found that years In the camps hadn't turned our hearts quite as hard as the quartz among which we labored. I caught a glimpse of Joe of Washoe shutting his teeth hard together and looking up at the clouds, and 1 won dered if he was more strongly affected when he charged a camp of five out laws single handed and left three of them lying dead for the sheriff to bury. That evening we had a public meet ing on the public square, and Judge Watkins hushed the crowd to silence and said: "Thar will be fustly, secondly and thirdly in these remarks o' mine. The fustly is that if Joe Washoe will ac cept this yere airth we'll gladly buy it fur him; secondly, the gal has got to hev another name, and I'm fur callin her Rose o' Washoe; thirdly, she's an orphan, and Black Hill diggin's is goin to adopt her and provide fur her and be the biggest kind o' father to her. Now, then, let every critter give three cheers and yell his loudest!" A mouih later, when Kose of Washoe was sent to the states to be properly cared for, the sum of SI,OOO went with her. She was brought out and stood on the same barrel again, and 300 men filed before her and shook hands nnd said goodby. Joe of Washoe came last. He lifted her up in his artns and kissed her and patted her bead, and her voice was broken with sobs as she said: "Cod bless all, but God bless Uncle Joe most of anybody!" When she was lifted to the saddle to ride away, Joe turned his back and seemed to be gazing off over the foot hills. The crowd cheered and cheered, but he was mute. As the girl disap peared from sight down the trail some one asked: "What the blazes Is the matter with Joe that he don't yell with us?" "Hush, you fool!" cautioned Big Jim. "Fall back, all of you! He'll be turnln purty soon to catch a last glimpse o' the gal, and it might shame him if we saw the tears in his eyes and knowed that his heart was swelled to bustin over her goin away!" lioiv Frozen Mini DetvriurnlM. Meats frozen and kept iu cold storage for long periods do not undergo organic changes In the ordinary sense—that is, they do not putrefy, soften or smell bad—but they certainly do deteriorate In some intangible way. After a cer tain time frozen meat loses some life principle essential to its nourishing quality. Such meat lacks flavor; It is not well digested or assimilated. Its savorless condition cannot be remedied or successfully disguised by the use of sauces and condiments. Those who cat cold storage food for any length of time develop diarrheal disorders, lose iu weight and would eventually starve to death unless a change of diet was made. The same reasoning applies to tinned fruits nnd vegetables. They should not be used after a certain period has elapsed. Especially should people be warned against using stale eggs and old milk and cream. Milk and cream are kept for days, rancid butter is washed and treated chemically, but all food, and especially cold storage food, Is dam aged by long keeping, anil will not nourish the body properly. There Is the greatest abundance of food, but It does not satisfy.—Sanitary Record. Memory, Jfol Mynti-ry. "Memory can play flic strangest of tricks," says a specialist, "and it is responsible for not a few superstitious fears In sensitive people. "A lady once told mo that site found herself at times 111 places where her surroundings seemed to have been known to her before, though she knew that she had never been there pre viously. "Probably you will recognize this ex perience, which is common enough. How many people, when reading or listening to a conversation, become vaguely conscious that they have read the passage or heard the identical words In 'the dim, long past!' "It Is not a haunting mystery, but Just a way that memory has. lu numerable Impressions of the most trivial things are stored In the brain and will come out when called upon. In the lady's case she had probably seen a picture of the scene at some time, and a view of the actual place produced memory's feeble effort to re call H." Never bear more than one kind of trouble nt a time. Home people bear three kinds all they have had, all they have now and all they expect to have. Ix-arn to keep your ears open and your mouth closed.
