Ibit ouu luoriiiii, when Clarli was
riding aer.is.i t!io Miuueosa pasture, ho
saw one of his cowboys itinmouiite I
tiud. sitting on the gnuud beside his
pony, which was ,r . tig. As the
ti.ure rfi.miiiivl inutio,.Uj, he to le
nearer to se-.- what v,i- tim milter, and
recognized in the cro-.i-ueit orm, with
Its head on his Unee-, I.eltv.

raised his fa.'e, wipiay; his mouth fur
tively. "1 .it a little di7.?.y, sometimos," he
nid np'ieuliugly, "wlion I rido right
hsr l; I Hin't hurt, .Mr. jSureut; I
ain't sick."
"vjood (iod, boy," said Clark, look

which tim other was trying vaiuly to
cover with t'.ist treinblim left band,

Lelly staggered to his feet, au I
Mood uiiugiug to his sadJla lu.ru, iu a
pitiful effort to pall himself together,

"Mr. Sargent," he said, beseech
inptly, "this ain't nothin'j It don't
interfere with my work none; an' yon
don't know how bad I hate to be
knockin' about from one place to an
other." "Why, Lefty," said Clark, horrified,
"you don't think 1 wanted to dis
charge you ! Here, let me help yoa
np on tho horse, anl I'll lead him
iu."
Clark hnd a modicine chost, a fair
practical knowledge of the effect of
tlrngs, and considerable tact in their
nse. Lefty, of course, was burning
oat but slowly in this high, dry air,
so unfavorable to tho development of
his disease; and Clark doctored him
faithfully with tonics and palliatives.
Ife wii.i not sent out on the range
again ; work was found for him about
tho Louse, and ho soon camo to be
cook and general doinestio manager.
He developed into a skilful house
keeper and Lis cooking saved much of
tho customary wear and tear of the
boys mor.vl natures. Indeed, Flcteh
Phillips dcclnred that it was a more
potent menus of grace than the ex
hortations of tho cowboy evangelist
over at Lone Jack.
Put it was to Sorgcnt's especiol
comfort and welfare that his loving
services wero watchfully devotod.
The pegs aud Run racks in the
office room at the P.ita Blanca are all
glt aming buffalo horns, picked up on
tho phiiu by Lefty, with tho weather
worn bark of years of exposure on
them, aud patiently scraped down and
polished till they hols like little half
crc'ccnts of jet. He searched out,
polished and put np, too, the great
spreading cattle horns over the office
doors and windows. Clark likes to

Clark'4 pour, his saddle, spurs and
all hii eniiipiueuts and accoatermeuts
were kept in tho i-hiuing aud speck-
less condition of a crack cavalryman's ;
aud his clothing was tearohed for
rents and missing buttons with the
eagerness of a younj wife, new to her
duties.
Lifted out ot vagabondage into a
comfortable home, and freed from the
haunting droit I oi losing it; simply
pleased, like a clul.l, at being a valued
factor in the comfort of that home,
Lefty, whose springUm had beeu
nipped and chilled by udversity's
northers cituo into Into blossom. His
fiici filled out uud bloouiod till it
loolicd liko a yonnj boy's.
In this fostering utmosphcro he pnt
forth numberless entertaining little
uceomplUhmetits, j ho discovered un
suspected graces and developed tho
cheerful optimism of tho consump
tive. His cough was always "ootter,"
a:id he was mildly impitieut of any
iu.piiry as to his health, Assuming tho
attitude of a great stout fellow who
oii.jht to bo out ou the range earning
his w.iy, but who accepted these light
er duties because they wero of a sort
unpopular with tho others.
Notwithstanding this, ho took faith
fully tho medicine Clark gave him,
us ho woul I navo taken, doue or en
dnro.l Auylhiug asked or imposed up
on him from that quarter.
Hut there vas one medicine Clark
could not get him to take; and it was
a touio upon which bo placed the most
reliuucj in siuh a case plenty of
whisky.
"No, Mr. Sargent," he said, "don't
give me uoue o' that. Whisky an'
uio's bud friends."
"Why, Lefty, that's mighty queer.
I know you've drank plenty of whisky
before now."
"les, sir; an ill wnat ill never
do again ; it's Iu-ju my U-urst enemy.
I've hdeu in with rustlers au' all kinds
o' thieves when I was driukin',' an' I
didn't get uo good by my meanness,
neither. Whisky ttarved me au' froze
1 me a long as I stuck to it, au' gnat's
what it'll do for any man that lores it
like I do."
As Lefty said this he looked care
fully away from his employer. Clark's
drinking habit was the one gnawing
anxiety and distress that he had.
It had been growing steadily worse
since Lefty came to the Hits Blanca.
It tine ! to be that Clark only drank to
excess when he wont to Antelope,
where there were bar rooms and con
vivial companions; bnt now the buck
board conld not be got ready for a
drive of a day or two across the coun
try without a jug of whisky in it.
Lefty's own bitter experience, to
certain passages in which the most
shameful and criminal he always re
ferred with open simplicity, gave him
an appreciation and horror of the de
clivity npnn which the other was start
ing ; and ho only lacked the courage
to speak.
When Clnrfc was beginning on one
of his sprees Lefty's beseeching eyes
would follow him, only to drop hum
bly when they met his look ; and the
silent protest end entreaty was as well
understood between them as words
could have been.
Lefty stood between him and publi
city so far as was possible, and lcsseno.1
by his own watchfulness and caro the
terriblo risks Clark rAn when drink
iug. It camo to bo the regular thing
that whenever tho backboard was
brought out for ouo of tho manager's
trips, Lefty got old Hank Pearsall to
take charge of tho house and tho cook
ing while he drove for Clark. It was
only so that ho felt at ease, for then
ho knew that whatever maudlin roach
ing for the lines or slashing at tho
half-broke broncho team there was, hi
was there to take care of Clark, who
had more than onco of late rolled out
of tho backboard, and Lefty hail bad
hard work, what with the wild team
niid Clark's helplessness, to got him
back in.
On. T-..-.v.V..-.r ifi.-rr---
they stopped at Autolopo for the mail,
ou their way homo from a distant
ranch. Things had boeu going bet
ter ; it was weeks since Clark's last
spree, and he had been doing almost
entirely without liquor. 13 ut it was
Christmas Eve ; every bar room was
full of cowboys Aud ranchmen, drink
ing aud hilarious.
Clark would have the team put up
and fed, aud they themselves hid sup
per At the Autslope House.
When Lefty went to him in the bar,
After supper, Clark would have come,
but there was a crowd around him
that wouldu't hear of it. Finally, an
noyed at Lefty's persistence, they
turned their Attention to him, and it
was only by the exercise of consider
ublo dextnrity and a hires that he got
out without having to drink with
thorn.
Full of anxiety, ho went back again
and uqaiu, sometimes tiuding Clark
determined to m:Uo a night of it,
sometimes half sobered up and will
ing to go, but when on tho strength
of this ho got tho horses out and
brought the buckboard around, ho
always failed by u little to get Clark
uwav.
Ouce he got hitn in and they drove
as far as tbo outskirts of the town,
when Clark turned obstinate and
made him go back.
Finally, loug after midnight, when
he went again into the bar, Clark
tftid he would go with him ii Lefty
would take one drink. Hoping to pac
ify and get him away Lefty finally
took the drink; then, on a similar
plea aud promise, another aud an
other, till by the time they left they
were about equally intoxicated.
When they came to the first gate
into the Rita Blanca pastures, about
three miles from the ranch house,
Lefty gave tho hues to Clark and got
dowu to open it, the whip unheeded,
iu his baud.
But the long drive in the sharp air
had sobered him up enough that he
wondered to see the tall posts ou eaoh
side of the gate moving. The next
moment he kuew that there was a man
behind each post, it being the only
possible cover an asjailant could hvre
found for miles upon that bare, open,
half moonlit plain. The revelation
was like a bucket of ioe water dashed
over him, and ha gnssod instantly
with a throb of that anxiety for Clark
which was always with htm -that
these were some of the Mexioans with
whom the Rita Blanea was having
trouble.
His mortal fear for Clark's life
swept the befogging fames oat of his
brain.
It was Clark's life they wanted ; he
knew that; it was not himself they
were after. He could go forward and
open thi gate safely, sines they likely
thought him too drank to notice
them.
Hut if they knew that the one in the
bnckboard was Clark, they would
jump upon it and knifo him as he
drove through.
Lefty reeled toward the gate, caught
it and clung to it, shaking in every
limb. Tho silent watchers behind the
posts might well have thought him
very drunk indeeil.
Even while hfs poor spent frame
drooped rhudderiug against the gate,
his single and undeviating mind ran
desperately through every possible
scheme to save Clark.
They were of much the same height
and sizo enough so to be mistaken in
the semi-darkness. Why not make it
seem why not
Ho toro tho gato open with a lurch
and Hung it wide "Lefty I" he
screamed, "Lofty 1 Drive for your
life, Lefty!" And a the excitable
team of cow ponies, trained to run at
the shout, swept through at a gallop,
he slashed the rear horse with his
whip. Tho outfit whirled away like a
cloud, while Lofty turned to face
Clark's fate.
When Clnrk Sargent, thoroughly
sobered, got tho wild ponies pulled
down, turned around and drove back
to tho gate, there was nothing in sight
on the great, gray, glimmering level
but a dark, motionless heap by one of
the gate posts.
He fluug his lines over the post,
went and knelt beside tho still body.
"Lefty," he whispered, with his
heart in his throat.
There was no answer, ne found
tho man's shoulders, lifted them, and
rtraightenod him out it was Lefty.
Clark raised him gently, and felt
for tho wounds that were soakiug his
clothe with blood. Lefty moaned
and opened his eyes.
"0, Mr. Sargent, I'm going to die ;
and who'll take care of you then, when
when you're drinking. "Who is it
knows like me that's been through it,
tho hell you're a walkin' right down
into 1 And who'll be willin' to go with
you, faithful, through the worst Of it
all, like I'd a beeu glad an' proud to?
Nobody I Nobody ! O, I can't go
I ain't ready t Mr. Sargent O,
my God I promise me promise
promise "
"I do, Lefty ! I do I do promise !
The Lord bo my witness "
The dying man, with some remin-
lsoontse o'f a ci'adlefii'Je prayer, raised
his life-scarred hands and laid them
together, "For Christ's sake, amen,"
ho whispered, and breathed no more.
As tho bnckboard went slowly home
ward with its freight, the dim light of
Christmas morning wrought pallidly
upsn the plain. It sought out and
touched upon tho face of tbat patient
care taker, never eloquent as now in
its voiei'lessuess.
When Clark came to hi own door
it was br .m 1 day. But Lefty's Christ

( lirl-.lina In the Fast.
The father of the boy or girl of to
day can well remember, if he has
leached the age of forty or upward, a
tiaio when Christmas hud practically
uo existence for him. In certain parts
f tho country, indeed, Christmas has
never been forgotten. Iu New York
City, iu Pennsylvania, aud in the
South generally, Christmas, as well as
Easter, has always been observed. In
New England, however, in many of
tho rural parts of New York, and in
portions of the country which were
settled from New England aud from
rural New York, Christmas was forty
years ago, but a name.
Some trace of it seemed to have sur
vived iu the occasional practice of
hanging up the stocking ou Christina
Eve. Boys und girls often hung their
stockings by tbo fireplace, and in the
morning, if they were fortunate, there
was iu each stocking a store of nuts, a
little caiidy, and perhaps a jack-knife
or a thimble. But tiext day Christ
ma Day the boys and girls went to
school a usual, and fathers and
mothers went about their usual tasks.
There was uo holiday aud no big
Christmas dinner.
Tho otie fenxt of the year had been
eat6u at Thanksgiving. Tho mince
pies accumulated for that festival were
still making their appearance upon
tho family table ; and the pies, and
the memory of all the other good
things aud sports of Thauksgiviug,
had to serve the children of that
period, as far as holidays were con
cerned, until rast Day came round
again.
In most of the States, indeed, the
children had not even Fast Day to
look forward to. There w.s no real
holiday until the Fourth of July. For
them there were practically but 'two
holidays iu the year.
The recollections of Christmas
which a persou ot tifty should under
take to relate to his children would be
very muoh like the celebrated chapter
about the snakes in Ireland, which
simply stated that there were no
snakes iu Ireland. He might, how
ever, nave a vivui recoilectiou ni a
rather lonesome tn minutes spent in
hangicg a woolen etooking by a fire
place, during which time his parents
sat solemnly by, looking as if they
did not altogether approve what be
was doiug. The joy with which hr
might anticipate possible gift was I
tempered not a little by the remain-
brance of ops Christmas morning!
when he arose eagerly, searched his i
stookJag, and fonnd nothing whatever
int.
Terr soon, however, the real Christ
mat bogan to grow np, as it were.
Thi most powerful agency in making
its observance general was the Sunday
sciool. Always on the lookout for
something with which to aronse the
interest of children, the Sunday
sckool of thirty years ago early made
choice of Christmas. "Trees" were
introduced as a feature of an annual
observance, and many little gifts were
distributed.
It was customary to have the pas
sages in tho Gospels relating to tho
birth of Christ read aloud by one ot
the pupils of the Sunday-school who
could real well, and this oflloo was
greatly coveted. The chance of being
selected to read these passages aloud
at Christmas was a sufficient incentive
to many pupil to pay particular at
tention to their reading lessons at
school for months together.
The interest of the children in these
exeroises was very great from tho start,
and it soon drew the older people into
an almost equal interest in the revival
of the old festival.. In a surprisingly
short time Christmas had becone tuo
most important day in tho year.

CM Christina Carols.
The earliest collection of Christmas
carols was published in 1521. Many j
are lime more iusii urinmng songs
used at social or religious festivities,
of which singing and daucing thon
formed a prominent feature. In one
old legend a jolly knight is made to
say:
"Not a ir.m horn shall tnsts my Msrca boor
Till n CrUt.'niCHrnl haitotn sluiri
Then all olapt tli Ir hauJs, snl sboutul anl
sung.
Till the ball sn t tho parlor did ring."
' Indeed, the burden of many a carol
might be condensed into "plum pud
ding, goose, capon, minced pies and
roast beef;" and everybody was ex
pected to indorse the sontinient ex
pressed a couple of hundred years ago
in 'Toor Robin's Almanack:"

f Early Celebration ot the Nativity.
indications that the Nativity was cele
brated by the early Christians. Though
the date of Christ's birth is only tra
ditional, the 2oth of December is be
lieved to have been appointed in tho
fourth century, by Julias I., Bishop
of Rome, as the anniversary of that
event. Previously the Eastern Church
had observed the Cth of January in
special commemoration ot tho appear
auce ot. tho Star which guided tho
Wise Men to the Saviour's birthnlace
in Bethlehem. For a wuilo the East
ern Church adhered to this date, iu
spite ot Julius's edict, though tho
Western Church observed tho 25th of
December. This had a natural ten
dency to exteud the festival over tho
time intervening between tho two
lates. In the sixth century all Chris
tendom united upon the observance of
tho -oth of December.
Greens l.t t'liurtli Decoration.
People used to be rather more par
ticular than they are now as to what
greens they used fcr church decora
tion. The favorite plants were holly,
bav, rosemary, and laurel. Ivy was
objectionable because it was formerly
sacred to Bacchus. Cypress was some
times used, but its funeral associations
made it out ot place at so festive a
season as Christmas. Mistletoe was
excluded because it was sacred to tho
Druidio religion, and perhaps because
it was considered too frivolous iu its
suggestions. The decorations should
properly remiin in tho church till the
end of January, but must be cleared
away before February 2, Candlemas
Day. Tho same is true of private
dwellings, for superstition regards it
as a fatal omen if this period is over
stepped. New York Suu.
