HE THAT KEE.P-
ETII HIS LIFE
It was the weird hour of morning
hn sou's ro out with the tide. A
lantern on box by tbe bedside gave
the onljr light that flickered across
the fcene. From near-by stalls came
the stamping and pawing of horses. A
little alcove had been fitted up as a
sort of an olBce where, opon an im
provised hunk, covered with coarse
blankets, the sick man lay.
All his life had he herded with
arses and the surroundings were not
inappropriate. At the foot of the bed
the nurse, a man. watched anxiously.
Presently the outer doors of the barn
separated enough for the passage of a
body and two men entered.
A welcoming gleam of Intelligence
shot from the eyes of the sick man
to his face. It questioned, yet plte
usly begged deferment of decision.
Af'er protracted examination, while
ln'rnne silence vibrated only to the
wh'.nnlng and pawing of the equine
tenants, the doctor turned away.
"I can do no more," he announced,
brlely.
Tee young man who had entered
with him Joined the nurse and stood
rno!onles, looking queerly Into the
grilled f-ice on the bed. The eyes un
closed, a passion of terror submerging
every emotion, the shaggy beard quiv
ered like a Celd of grass beneath pow
erful wind. TJnarled Angers plucked
aimlessly at the bed clothes as an Im
ploring cry echoed among the rude
rafers of the barn.
"Oh. doctor, doctor! I can't die!
I ain't ready yet. Can't ye do some
th n' anythln", so's I won't bev to go
row?"
T'.e nurse approached with a
soothing draught, but was waved
ar'ilo. tremulously. " 'Taln't no n.

?t '! silence, cleft only by sounds

.m:er;r.g lnntctn. rivalled.
The hoarse tone died away In sob-
l -g intensity as the l ours man lifted
t - faco: his eyes fastened them-

the decor with a feeble gesture, "an'

e.l, co .MMly, "five thousand dollars
to live."
"Will you give that?" The younger
man r'ered questioning!)' down at
Mm. "Do you value your worthless
life so much? Remember how you
starved and beat me when I was little
so that you could save a few dollars
out of me. Remember how my moth-
v" suffered died " emotion threaded
the words tremulously, "that you
t Ifcht scrimp out of her life her
so.-.l even a Utile more. Remember
how, after that you herded here with
horros, that you only fed because they
mo id work the harder; because It
w.i? cheaper, and the penny saved'
He laughed bitterly. "Remember
that, -and what you have been. Is
yo . life worth that to you?"
The bitterness' of his son's scorn
impressed the elder not at all. He
craved life, the boon, at any cost, and
he murmured crlngingly. "Yea, yes.
IH give all that five thousand dol
lars If you'll git somebody to keep
tne alive. I can't die. I ain't ready
yet."
The younger man drew check
book from between the blankets un
der the sick man's head, filled one out,
then motioned the nurse to bring the
lantern. "Here," he said, crisply, "sign
here." He guided the trembling fin
gers as they traced a name feared by
many who had felt Its power. The
feeble rays of the lantern touched the
amount and he gasped.
"I said five thousand," he whined
"and you have made It 10 and to
yourself."
"It is all too little." The younger
man regarded him calmly. "And I am
the one you asked to save you. Come,
as the cramped fingers Ungeringly re
tained the fluttering paper, "Is
worth It or not?" Released, the pa
per passed to firmer grasp and the
querulous voice murmured, "Hurry,
now, and bring htm. Oh," as recrimi-
nating memory prodded. "I can't die
now. I ain't ready."
The young man turned to the physi

swinging a leather strap against her

merriment on the visitor who had

shook her head.

Boston's Costly 8ubway.
The costliest mile of underground

Bravest of Living Things.,.,
The u-out-oote h. very br-e, but ;
the most couraRcons of sll living '

out any -len.-e pi fear whatever, 4te ,
mole will fipht untthinir that crosses
Us path. It never raises the white
dag. Neither giving nor asking quar

til It kills It or ia killed Itself. The
mole appetite Is in keeping with Its
courage, and it thinks nothing of eat
ing Its own welKhL, In appetite tha
spider la a close second to the mole,
but when It comes to fighting the nol
carries tba fair.
